DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Last evening Balfe's opera, The Bohemian Girl, was per-
formed for the first time this season, and although we have
so frequently witnessed the performance of this beautiful
opera, we must confess that we last night listened to it with
undiminished feelings of delight. M iss Rainfortb, Harrison, and
Borrani, were all in excellent voice; and never has this, the
chef d'ieurrc of the maestro, had more ample justice done it by
all engaged in its production than last evening. All the popular
airs were encored and applauded to the echo. Its power
of attraction continues undiminished ; for although
last evening must have been nearly the 150th time that this
popular opera has been performed within thelast two years,
the housewas crowded before the rising of the curtain, and
The Bohemian Girl maynow be considered as a stock opera—
a safe card to be played at any time—as it will always ensure
a crowded house. The divertissement of La Bay-aWre fol-
lowed. with Mademoiselle Louise as the heroine. This young
lady is destined to take a high rank in the career she
has chosen. Her pas de deux with Delferier was admirable
—her tours d'adresse were perfectly wonderful; the
most difficult and rapid steps were performed with
an ease and a gracefulness that left nothing to
be desired. She was, indeed, the " muse of the many
twinkling feet," The pas de schalls was given with in-
finite grace and elegance, and was deservedly rewarded with
the enthusiastic applause of the audience. She was most
efficiently supported by Mademoiselle Adele, M. Delferier,
and the ladies of the corps de ballet. La Bayadete, in its
present form, is the prettiest divertissement imaginable.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING.

NEWMARKET, TUESDAY EVENING, FIVE O'CLOCK.-If we
may draw an inference from the quietude that prevailed yes
terday evening, and the number of arrivals that took place
this morning, the completitn of the railway to Chesterford
and Cambridge will prove acceptable to the frequenters of
the Newmarket Meetings, if not quite so beneficial to the
town as the inhabitants of the town appear to have antici-
pated, inasmuch as many wbo formerly made a practice of
getting down the day before the Meeting, have now the op-
tion of starting by the morning trains, with the certainty—
accidents excepted— of arriving in ample time for business.
Of this facility a great many availed themselves this morning,
and the assemblage on the Heath was very much larger than
we have usually seen at the First October Meetings. The
list, too, showed an improvement, and we are glad to have an
opportunity of adding that the introduction of the telegraph
on the flat, and the addition of the jockies to the return lists,
are but forerunners of a general improvement in the mode of
"carrying on the war" at Newmarket. The events decided
this afternoon are recorded below, sufficiently in detail to
render it unnecessary to preface them with any lengthened
observations ; it is enough that the running was first-rate
and full of interest, and that the two principal races termi-
nated in the overthrow of the cracks. The weather was
favourable. The following are particulars :
The Trial Stakes of 10 sows. each ; for 3 yrs old, 7st 71b ;
4 yrs, Bst 91b; 5 yrs, 9st 21b; and aged, 9st 61b. A.F.

2 agst the Cobweb colt—and 4to I agst the winner. All got
off nearly abreast, and ran at a bad pace to the bushes,
neither having a positive lead. Idas then took a slight lead,
the Turquoise colt lying close up with him—no others, in
reality, having any further share in the race. Idas main-
tained a trifling lead half way up the bill, where, he was
collared by Lord Lensdale's colt, and defeated on the post by
a head. 'I he Cobweb colt was beaten a couple of lengths, and
was far in advance of Worthless.

at a good pace to the new ground, where Samphire headed
him,and in a few strides made him " safe," and went en alone.
Wit's End, who had been overpaced in the early part of the
race, came half way in the cords, but never quite got up,
Samphire winning by a head.
