ANECDOTE OF THE CONGRESS OF VIENNA.
The King of DENMARK, who had been promised an
indemnity for Norway, which was forcibly taken from
him, could not obtain even an increase of his Duchy of
Holstein. This Monarch went himself to the Congress of
Vienna ; all the Sovereigns resolving to grant him nothing
made amends for it by giving him their kindest regards,
and their handsomest compliments. When he announced
his intention of departing, the Emperor ALEXANDER said
to him, ' You carry away with you all hearts.' "I do
not know that,' replied the KING ; ' but what is certain
is, that I do not carry away one soul.' "—Lacretelle's
History of France since the Revolution.

As an instance of the praiseworthy prompti-
titude with which the Duke of WELLINGTON attends to
applications made to him by obscure individuals, we may
mention the following anecdote :—A young artist (the
person principally engaged in the modelling of that beau-
tiful work of art, TIIONIASON'S Warwick Vase) had com-
pleted a colossal bust of the Premier from memory, WO,
being anxious that his Grace should see it, he addressed a
letter to him, humbly entreating the Noble Duke to do him
that honour. The letter was left at Apsley-house about
one o'clock, and the artist, to his surprise and delight, re-
ceived an autograph answer to it by five the same day,
stating that his Grace would do himself the pleasure of
calling upon the artist whenever he could spare half an
hour from his numerous avocations. To the honour of the
Duke of WELLINGTON, all letters addressed to him are
promptly answered,- and generally in his own handwriting.

DISTRESSES OF COVENT-GARDEN

THEATRE.

[A Correspondent in a Morning Paper proposes
the following plans for partially relieving this theatre
rrom its embarrassments] :-
1. That a subscription should be immediately
opened, to which, in addition to voluntary contribu-
tions from the public in general, every creditor
:hould be invited to contribute such portion of his
claim as his own liberality may induce him to sacri-
`lce, a►►d that such contribution should be made
imblic. By this means I have no doubt a great ant
,udden reduction of the debt would be accomplished,
Ind that the mode would be considered as readier and
more satisfactory than by any attempt at a general
uid uniform composition.
2. That the theatre be opened for one week,
~without any charge whatever for rent, performers,
or any other expenses; that every attempt be made
o induce his Majesty to attend the theatre once in
the course of that week, and to prevail upon the
nobility to patronize all the other nights to the ut-
most extent, and that the whole proceeds of the
,aid week be set apart to pay out the pending exe-
cutions.

3. That one night in every month be set apart as
a free benefit, on which neither rent, salaries, or ex-
penses of any kind are to be demanded, and that the
receipts of each such night be paid over for the li-
quidation of the debt.
4. That every author who has ever laboured suc-
cessfully for the theatre shall supply it with two of
such of their productions as may be approved,
gratuitously.
5. That no salary shall be given of more than 201.
per week, until the theatre is relieved from its em-
barrassments.

6. The legal proceedings shall be discontinued,
and the proprietors guaranteed against arrest, during
he existence of these arrangements.
7. That a public meeting be called of the creditors
of the establishment, of authors, and of actors, and
of the friends of the drama generally, to give effect
to a scheme upon the present basis, and to receive
suggestions for its improvement and extension, and
offers of assistance in its accomplishment.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EGIIAM RACES.

WEDNESDAY, AuG. 26.—Agreeable to the promisd
held out on Tuesday, his Majesty visited these ;races to-
day, and was the occasion of a much greater assemblage
of spectators than could have been expected with such
gloomy weather. His Majesty reached the ground about
a quarter past one, in an open carriage and four, attended
by a few outriders in grey livery, accompanied by the Mar-
quis of Conyngliam and Lord Mountcharles ; the suite fol.
lowed in h second carriage and four, the Royal visit being
quite private. His Majesty remained in his carriage near
the Judge's stand throughout the races, at the end of
which he left amidst the cheers of the spectators. His
Majesty looked remarkably well, and was dressed as at
Ascot races, with the addition of a blue cloak to guard
against the cold and damp. Besides the King there were
present—The Duke of Dorset, Duke and Duchess of Rich-
mond, Marquis of Worcester, Earl and Countess of Sef,
ton and the Ladies Molyneux, Earl Jersey, Earl and Coun-
tess of Harcourt, Lord James Fitzroy, Lord G. Bentinel,,
Lord Ranelagh, Lord Stratharen, Lord Clinton, Lord
Manvers, Sir John Gibbons, Misses Berkeley Craven,
Irby, Greville, Peel, Ramsbottom, Maberley, L. Hervey,
Wood, and most of the leading families of the counties of
Surrey and Middlesex,
The following is a statement of the running:—
Handicap Sweepstakes of five sovs. each, and 25 adder',
for all ages. One mile and a half.
Mr. J. Day's Hajji Baba, aged
Duke of Richmond's Miss Craven, 5 yrs
Mr. G. Bulkeley's Helas, 6 yrs 3
Mr. R. Bulkeley's Goblet, 4 yrs
Mr. Clark's Hal, aged
Two paid.-13etting 5 to 4, on Miss Craven, and 5 to
o agst Hajji Baba. It was generally supposed that Misi
Craven, who has always run alstout honest mare, would
get best through the deep ground,' and she was backed
freely. She started in front, making the running at a
brisk pace, the others well up in a cluster. They main-
tained this order to the distance, where Hal (who is fit
only for hunting), and Goblet (a very bad one), dropt
off; Helas and Hajji Baba then came up on either side of
Miss Craven, and ran a severe race home, the snare being
second half a length, and Helas about a length and a half
behind.

The Surrey and Middlesex Stakes of 25 sore. each, 15 ft.
Two miles and a distance.
Lord Worcester's Maresfield, 5 yrs I
Lord Mountcharles's Rasselas, 4 yrs
Mr. J. Day's Liston, aged 3
His Majesty's Jour des Noces, 4 yrs

Eight paid..—Betting even on Maresfield ; 3 to 1 agst
Rasselas ; and sto 1 agst each of the other two. Liston
took the lead at a capital pace, Jour des Noces following
him, Rasselas close at his heels, and Maresfield at the end,
hut well up. Liston maintained his running to the last
turn (about three-quarters of a mile from home), where
Jour des Noces was beat off; and here Liston gave way to
Rasselas, who carried on the running for a short distance,
when Maresfield went up to him and challenged. A tre-
mendous run home ended in favour of Maresfield by a neck
only ; Rasselas heat Liston several lengths, being the third
time that they have run together this season with the same
result.

The Magna Charta Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h. ft. fur
3-yr-olds. The new mile.
Duke of Richmond's Hindoo 0 1
Lord Mountcharles's Beatrice

One paid. First heat-5 to 2on Hindoo ; a very fine
race, and ended in a dead heat. Second heat--6 to 4on
Beatrice, who fell off in this race after running a short
distance, and was beat in a canter. lhe dead heat was
one of the mast punishing races we hare seen for some time.
