NORWICH THEA TRE.

Miss FooTE has been the attraction this week.
This fascinating actress has been performing four
successive nights in both play and farce. Her first
appearance on Monday evening, was as Letiti a
Hardy, in the Belle's Stratagem, and Variella in
the farce called The Weathercock. On Tuesday,
she performed Rosalind, in SIIAKSPEARE'S play
of As You Like It, and Zephyrina, in The Lady
and the Devil. On Wednesday, Violante in The
Wonder, and Arinette, the Little Jockey, in the
afterpiece. On Thnrsday, Beatrice, in Sin AK-
SPEARE'S comedy of Much Ado About Nothing,
and Maria Darlington, in A Roland for an
Oliver. To enter into a critique of each per-
formance is not our intention. The above list
of the characters which Miss FOOTE has sustained,
will spew at once the versatility of her talent.
She now appears for the first time in Norwich
after nearly 19 years' professional experience, having
made her first dramatic essay as Juliet, in 1810, at
Plymouth. This lady may be truly said to be one
of Nature's most favoured children, together with a
beautiful countenance she possesses a manner pecu-
liarly interesting; there is a liveliness and grace in
her acting which throw a charm over each character
she represents; her singing has no scientific excel-
lence to recommend it, but still pleases; by its spirit
and simplicity ; whilst her dancing is the model of
elegance. With such qualifications it is impossible
that Miss FOOTE should be otherwise than a most
popular actress, and well filled houses have each
night borne the strongest testimony of public appro-
bation. Her songs were almost in variably encored,
and she complied with the greatest good humour
with the wishes of the audience, notwithstanding
the incessant exertion consequent upon her having
to maintain two characters each evening.
But the real forte of this celebrated artiste lies
after all among the elegant trifles, and even among
the whimsical extravaganzas of dramatic representa-
tion.

"Her lively looks a sprightly mind disclose,
.6 Quick as her eyes, and as unfix'd as those."
It is in such gossamer productions of the stage, as,
fairly exempt from critical taxation, and freely intro-
ducing the mingled charms of song and dance, afford
a congenial medium of display for her great powers
of personation, that Miss FOOTE presides with truly
fascinating influence over all hearts save those, if
there be ally, which are insensible to female grace
and loveliness. It is in such characters as rariella,
Zephyrina, Maria Darlington, and others of that
peculiar class, that her glances and smiles are ren-
dered irresistibly captivating by an elegance of man-
ner which always delights, and a vivacity which
never offends.— Norfol/c Chronicle.

The LORD MAYOR, and a numerous deputa-
tam of gentlemen from the city, interested in the auction
duties, attended at the Treasury yesterday morning, and
had a long conference with the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER.

Monsieur BERMUDEZ, the Spanish Minister,
transacted business yesterday at the Foreign and Colonial
Offices.

The Lords of his Majesty's most Honourable
Privy Council 'held a meeting at eleven o'clock yesterday
morning, in the Privy Council Chamber. Those present
were the Vice-Chancellor, the Judge of the Admiralty
Court, and the Paymaster of the Forces. The hearing of
the appeal " Campbell v. Hadfield," from Demerara, was
resumed. Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE was heard for the re-
spondents. The next cause was that of " Hughes ex parte
M'Turk," from Demerara. Dr. LUSHINGTON opened the
case on the part of the appellant, and was followed by Mr.
BROUGHAM : those gentlemen stated that the appellant
having been confined by Major M'Turk in a small room,
eight feet square, during the space of tight days, on a
charge which had not been substantiated, had brought an
action for damages against Major 111" Turk, in one of the
courts of justice at Demerara, when a letter was written
by the Governor to the Judges, imputing that the appel-
lant had been charged on suspicion of practices subversive
of military discipline, which letter, it was contended, had
influenced the decision of the Judges. The case being
closed, council were ordered to withdraw while their Lord-
ships deliberated. At the expiration of a quarter of an
hour counsel were re• admitted, when the Vice-Chan-
cellor, on behalf of their Lordships, delivered their de-
cision, which wa., that as the statements in the Gover..
not's letter were unfounded in fact (and even though
true should not have been written), and having been re-
ceived by the Judges at Demerara, was calculated to have
an undue influence, the damages should be increased from
1,000 to 10,000 guilders. The next appeal was that of
Scott v. Phoenix Company," from Lower Canada, in
which between 3,0001. and 4,0001. was sought to he re-
covered by the appellant on a policy of the Phoenix Com-
pany for damages sustained by fire. After the counsel for
the appellant had stated the case, their Lordships rose and
adjourned the meeting.

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.

NEWMARKET, Thursday Night.

The race decided to-day excited an interest very little
interi..r to that which existed on the Riddlestvorth ; nor
were the results less astonishing to the Solomons of the
terf. The most interesting event was tie Claret, a stakes
always important, but more than usually so this year, from
the high opinion entertained of the horses engaged is it,
arid the heavy sums at issue. There were few who (lid
not put Cadland down as sure to win, having the Des by
fresh in their memory. It will be recollected that he beat
Zinganee easy, their relative places being first and third.
In the first and second October meetings, he supported
his previous running by beating every thing that had the
temerity to oppose him. He received in his thousand
guinea match against Merchant, although it has been re-
ported that he was ill at the time, and that had Mr.
Thornhill brought his horse to the post, Cadland was not
well enough to run against him. That this was the case
we are not inclined to believe, having heard that Merchant
himself was amiss at the time. We believe, however, that
Cadland was not in the best racing trim during the whole
of the winter, which may account, in some degree, for his
coming off so badly this afternoon. It has been said re-
peatedly that Zinganee was queer when he ran at Epsom,
and it is certain that Rough Robin could not start, from
the same cause. The result of the Claret reverses the
Derby, for Zinganee now comes in first, and Cadland
third, the one increasing in value by 1,000 guineas at
least, and the others sinking as much : it proves Robin to
be a goad horse, but does not affect his value to any serious
extent. The odds will best show in what estimation they
were respectively held : they laid 7 to 4 on Cadland, 9 to
4 agst Rough Robin, and 4to 1 agst Zinganee. Much
as was expected from the horses (three of the most cele-
brated in the country), it will not be going too far to sty,
that quite as much was expected from their riders—the
three crack jockies of England—Chifney, Buckle, and
Robinson, who have rode more winners, and displayed
greater skill, than any of their time. Chifney's peculiar
style of riding is well known, and it is from the certainty
that he can get more out of a horse than any other rider
of the present age, that many indifferent nags appear in
the betting; for this reason only was Zinganee made such
a favourite for the Derby. Cadland, agreeable to his old
custom, went off in front, snaking the running as far as
the turn of the lands, where Buckle brought up Robin,
and challenged. Cadland was beat off after a sharp strug-
gle, in which Robinson did wonders. At the Duke's
stand Chifimey came into play, soon got to evens with
Buckle, made his terrific rush, and won in grand style by
a length, amidst deafening acclamations.
. . _

Green Mantle seems to have aimed at an imitation of
Cadland, for, like him, she ran surprisingly well in the
October meetings, and then, as if to give the lie to all, gets
heat the first time she runs in the Cravan meeting. She
did manage to make a better show than the Derby winner,
for she ran in second by a neck, but she was beat, and that
was enough to send her back for the Oaks, and to prove
that the turf may rival the law in " glorious uncet tainty."
John Day rode Caradori (the Duke of Grafton's Catgut
filly is so named); Boyce, Green Mantle; and Arnull, the
Prue filly.
The Lincoln's Inn Stakes.--The winner of this race
was entered in Mr. Carter's name as Augustus, but has
since been re-christened Dabs, and is the property of Chit.-
ney, who rode him with his usual ability. The odds were
6t04 on Dabs. Fortune-teller made the running to the
Abingdon-mile-bottom, where Dabs took it up, headed
him, and won by a length. Fortune-teller was rode by
Robinson; Artist, by John Day; and Lady Louisa, by
W. Arnull.

300 Sovereign Stakes.-6 to 4 against Ronald, 6to 4
against brother to Moses, and 5 to 2 against Will-o'-the-
Wisp. All the work was cut out by Moses, who was
beat when close at home. Will-o'-the-Wisp won cleverly,
rode by Edwards; Moses, by Robinson; and Ronald, by
John Day.
Match.-6 to 4 on Blinker ; who made all the running
and won easy, rode by Edwards; Xarifa, by Goodisim.
The new betting-rooms were crowded till a late hour,
and business assumed an interesting shape from the day's
running. Will-o'-the-Wiip once more appeared in the
market, while Morris Dancer crept by Camel and Espig-
nolle, but without affecting Patron. Green Mantle's de-
falcation sent her back seven or eight points, and put Pau-
line at the top of the list, Varna occupying her place. A
new favourite made her appearance in this stakes, in Mr.
Rogers's Careful (the Pipylina filly), the odds being out-
side ones.
