COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE--
Donizetti's Favorite
was performed last night by the Brussels ompany, and in a man.
ner highly crediable to all parties concerned in .;t• A new soprano
singer, Madame Julien, was introduced as Leonor..l,and although
the pretensions of this lady are of inferior character. to those of
Madame Laborde, the energy of her vocal manner and ht.'. accom-
plishments as an actress entitle her to a good position in pub;:c opi-
nion. In the last act (the cloister scene), she came out to admira-
tion, and sang the impassioned music which it contains with excel,
lent effect, throwing into it much vigour and pathos. She was well
aided by M. Laborde, whose singing, as Ferdinand, contributed to
swell the reputation which he achieved on the opening night. The
remaining characters were satisfactorily filled, and the ensemble
was excellent, for the chorus.singers, by their spirit and animation,
and by the faithful discharge of their musical duties, helped, in no
little degree, the general completeness. In the course of the opera
spas de deux was danced by M. and Mdlle. Honore, a oouple of
artists who have heels of unquestionable brilliancy.
We are sorry to hear that the Rev. Dr. Wolff is
laid up in Half Moon-street, Piccadilly, by a most painful com-
plaint in his feet, contracted while he was in Bokhara. The na.
_ . .

tires suffer from it, and a stranger is sure to get it after being in
the country about two months. It is called Riehte, and proceeds
from some insect which buries its egg in the fleshy part of the foot
below the ankle; after a lapse of about a year the grub grows, and
makes a considerable swelling. After poulticing, the intruder is
drawn out in the form of a long and very thin transparent worm.
This process, we are informed, has taken place with regard to both
of Dr. Wolff 's feet, and the pain from the consequent inflamma.
lion is intense.

THE HENLEY REGATTA.—We have every reason
to believe, from what we heard at Putney yesterday evening, that
the four-oared ,race for the Steward's Challenge Cup, between the
Oxford and St. George's boats, has been decided in favour of the
former. We beg to state that the judge who was stationed at the
bridge came up into the committe-room immediately after the race,
and, addressing the stewards in the presence of our reporter, said he
could not determine a race by an inch or so, and, therefore, declared
it to be a " dead ;heat." The lateness of the hour at which we
became acquainted with the decision we have above stated prevented
us making such inquiries into the circumstances that we should have
wished.—Morning Paper.
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY SUBSCRIPTION ROOMS'
BOAT Ram—The great four-oared cutter match amongst the gentle-
men of the Cambridge University Subscription-roans took place yes-
terday, and excited considerable interest. The race was for the Silver
Medals, and the distance, as usual, from Westminster to Putney. The
start was very evenly taken by the whole of the crews, who kept
together beautifully for a few strokes, Yellow having slightly the ad-
vantage ; but the others, for some distance, kept so closely together,
that it was impossible to say which was second boat. In this order
they continued, each crew exerting themselves to the utmost, and
displaying some very fine rowing, until near Vauxhall-bridge, when
Light Blue and White began to take the lead, but so gallantly had
the wln.le of the crews exerted themselves that none of the .our boats
were clear of each other until after passing through Vauxhall-bridge.
Light Blue then made their appearance in advance, and were pressed
throughout by White, who, however, did not amend their position,
notwithstanding the most determined efforts of tile crew. Light Blue
won by about four lengths, White second, Yellow third, and Dark
Blue fourth. The gentlemen, with a large party of friends, sat down
to a splendid dinner at Aviss's, when the Henley Grand Challenge
Cup, the trophy of Saturday's victory, was placed on the table, and
the event duly celebrated.

ACCIDENT ON 11 OLBORN-HlLL.—Yesterdav (Mon-
day), a waggon belonging to Mr. Itielutrd Stoner, jun., of 11, Belt's-
St. George's, Middlesex, heavily laden with timber, was pass-
ingn lioloorn-hill. The waggoner, to prevent an accident, had
stredtw
locked both the hind wheels. Upon arriving opposite Field-lane a
vehicle stood in the way, and in order to avoid a collision, he caused
the team suddenly to pull to the off side, when the immense load
swerved to the near w,ieel side and crushed it to splinters. The pile
of timber immediately fell with an awful crash to the ground, over-
throwing the shalt horse, and upsetting the heavy wain. About
twelve persons were passing at the time, but fortunately no one was
injured.

ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY.—On Sunday the Bishop
of Worcester preached at Trinity Chapel a very excellent sermon,
from the text of the 14th 3latthew, verse 30—" Lord save me, or 1
perish"—in favour of the objects of the Royal Humane Society, and
seemed to gratify exceedingly the very select congregation assembled
there. His Lordship appears to 16,ve been himself, in one ease, the
happy Instrument of preserving life, by being enabled timely to re-
commend the Society's means of resuscitatien where a child with-
drawn from a public well was considered to be dead.
