I. were showered on the stage, and amidst the waving
of hats and handkerchlets, and the most enthusiastic
bursts of applause, they withdrew. Mr. Giubilei's
deep and: sonorous bass told...excellently in Assur.
Leffler' as Oroe, acted the, payt judiciously, but
I seemed out of voice. - Great praise is due to
1 Mr. Travers for his chaste and • musician-like
.singing. in the part of Idreno.. This -.gentle-
man is a valuable acquisi4ion to the operatic
corps of Covent-garden. It :has been asked why
Mr. Harrison was not cast for Idreno ; we, however,
are glad that he was not. Idieno is not a character
that will bear Alacheathising. The choruses were
most. efficient, and their picturesque groupings and
appropriate action, contrast most favourably with the
dead-alive appearance of the chorus singers at. the
Italian Opera. The costumes were superb, -and; as
we have before observed, the scenery, decorations, and
appointments, surpass in splendour anything that has'
yet been produced.. S'entiraznide will no doubt draw
crowded houses. The theatre was crammed long
before the rising of the curtain.

The Newmarket railway is--very much improved.
You now reach Bishop's Stortford IA one hour and a
quarter punctually, and this is but thirty miles
from the turnpike gate—the gate that could so many
a tale unfold ; for scarce a trial takes place that this
gate does not witness. It is- much to be regretted
that the railway will not stop here. Nothing will
tend more effectually to spoil Newmarket than the
presence of the London mob—a body pretty sure to
intrude itself anywhere and everywhere within a two
hours' journey of the metropolis. Those only who
have been on the heath the day after a prize-fight has
been held in the neighbourhood are able to appreciate
the nuisance. The pleasure eiclusively appertaining
to a visit to Newmarket is the sportiman-like manner;
in which everything is conducted, and the fact that
the races themselves are' the sole attraction.
It rained a little on Tuesday. A sort of Scotch
mist prevailed the greater part of the day. 'The chaises
in the town were in rather tnore 'request than the
hacks. The Grand 'Duke Michael,' established and
first run for on the 29th day of September, some one
And twenty years ago, being then won by a mare of
Lord Grosvenor's, called consitieupy Michaelmas
Day, valtie.l,loo/., brought four animals only to the
post. There was scarcely any betting on this (or any
other race. To my astonishment the odds offered
were less than 2to 1 on Canadian; By all public
running, it was a heavy .sovereign to a light half-
crown. The horse tried and stopped, precisely as did
Cameleon last year, and Misdeal won in a canter.
Lord George 13entinck has not done so badly with a
bad lot—The Column, the 1,000 Guineas Stakes, the
Great 300 Sovs. Stakes, the Racing Stakes, at Good-
wood, and now the Grand Duke Michael—these are'
stakes not to' be sneezed at, nevertheless carried off
with horses not worthy even a start for the Derby,
although backed for I fear to write how much. A
wretched field appeaied for the Hopeful. The winner
is not a bad bred one, is in the Derby, with one en-
gagement only previous. The second and third are
in the Oaks. I heard a few
,bets on the Cesarewitch;
sufficient to convince me that 10 to 1 will be' taken
about each of nine or ten sooner or later before start-
ing. The betting, however, has, been in very small
sums at present.
There being no St. Leger, Wednesday was nearly
a blank. We know not why, but'the Wednesday at
Newmarket is almoSt invariably a. dies non. • ' •
'Afore wretched weather, and a worse 'attended
meeting, it has never been my lOt to record. Gen-
tlemen will keep their horses back for the Cesare Witch
and Cambridgeshire Stakes; and as we cannot have
racing without horses, I am Unable 'to suggest any
other remedy than the total abolition of the meeting.
Rosalind beat Ma Mie cleverly 'enough for the plate,
and the Marquis of ' E/ceter, as usual, obtained that
enviable position, second place for the Rutland. The
winner, Testy; by Venison', out of Mule's dam, . is en-
gaged 'in the Clearwelk Prendergast, Criterion and
Two-yr.-old Stakes on the Thursday in the Houghton.
She is in the 1;000 Guineas Stakes and in the Oaks.
They have taken 10 and 8 to 1 to win a large sum
about Portrait for the CesarewitCh: at half the outlay
Belissima is a better favourite by two points. Blue
Bonnet has also been backed heavily; no other
seems, by the betting, to have a chance. Ido not
often prognosticate so vaguely, but mark my words;
there will be a pretty getting down stairs before
Tuesday week.

JUDEX.

OLYMPIC THEATIM—Mr. Wild opens the Olympic
this evening with a good company. He commences
with Pelham, The Artful Dodge, and Life in the
G`louds follow, and from the excellent arrangements
made, and the new actors engaged, in addition to the
old favourites, this theatre' promises to be one of the
most Attractive places of amusement in the metropolis.
Spdarteio.—The grouse shooting last week was
nearly a blank to the sportsman. Birds were very
wild, and packed in 'flocks lof from sixty to eighty,
looking about them'on the bare hill tope, ready for a
start down the 'wind with the velocity of hawks.
They defied cartridges or any other projectile reach-
ingthem, and tantalised sportBtrien with the sight of
what it was impossible for them to shoot. Frosty
nights and clear days are now :looked for, to enable
our southern friends,to make up a good bag Occa-
sionally hefore liaiing'the north. in deer-stallting,
soma very, successful shots were made lately. At
invereshire, Walter GisbOrne, Esq., killed three stags
in one day. One of them weighed twenty-fourstone,
and had a royal head of horns.; another weighed
eighteen stone, with ten antlers on, his horns.--In-
