HAYMARKET THEATRE.

A trite piece of stupidity, under the title of
Valerie, was brought out last night for the first time
at this theatre. It is, we understand, an adaptation
from the French stage, and is well worthy " the
tinsel," so SHERIDAN aptly phrased it, of that
school of sentiment. The plot is shortly to this
effect :—A Lord Althorn is attached to a blind girl
named Valeria, and in his anxiety to effect the restor-
ation of her sight, connects himself awhile with an
oculist, who, after the usual preliminaries, consents
to try his skill upon the afflicted young lady.
Luckily his exertions are crowned with success;
Valeria recovers her sight; the Doctor is rewarded,
and my Lord Melsoni married. hi addition to this,
there is a sort of underplot ; as also a law suit, dull
enough to be a Chancery one, but which nevertheless
is meant to be facetious. We should have scarcely
thought it worth while to notice this nonsense, were
it not for that very interesting and intelligent young
actress, Miss F. H. KELLY, who, as Valeria the
blind girl, threw a sentiment and character into her
part, of which the author never could have supposed it
capable. She was, however, badly supported by the
pompous monotony of her lover, Mr. COOPER'S Lord
Melsoin. If a drumstick could make love, it would
copy this gentleman. Mr. VINING was respectable as
a youth
.yclept Milner; Mrs. HUMaY, arch and easy
as the Countess de Bloonyield. Throughout the
performance of the piece, Mr. Monrus kept vigor-
ously applauding it at the side-wings, from which we
conclude that he is the author.

SCULLERS' MATCH FOP. FORTY SOVEREIGNS

Yesterday afternoon a numerous assemblage, among
whom were many of the most distingui►hed Noblemen and
Gentlemen admirers of aquatics, congregated at Westmin-
ster, in cutters and boats of every description, to witness
the great contest between Cobb, of Putney, and Goatley, of
the Temple, for the above sum, from Westminster Bridge
to Putney. At five o'clock Cobb pulled up to the bridge
in the Swallow, a wager-boat built for Maynard, followed
by Goatley in the- Shark. In about twenty minutes the
men started, the betting being 3 to 2 in favour of Cobb.
The start was exceedingly fine, they being alongside of each
other for a short distance, when Goatley went a-head, but
op arriving opposite Lambeth Cobb came up to him, and
it was scull and scull to the Penitentiary. Cobh then went
a-head about half a boat's length, but before their arrival at
Vauxhall a skiff so fouled Goatley that he was nearly
capsized, his boat being above half filled with water.
Cries of " Foul, foul !" were vociferated from all parts of
the river, and Goatley was taken into a cutter. The
match consequently remains undecided. The man who
fouled Goatley got unmercifully beaten, amidst cries of
" Throw him overboard," &c. &e.
