SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TA TTERSALL'§:...YESTERDAY.
The Dert,v speculations, as far as they extended to Scott's
stable, were by no means heavy, but they were important as
shewing a considerable change of feeling towards those mem-
bers of it that figured so conspicnousiy in last week's reports.
Attila was seldom mentioned ; still it was obvious to those
who watched the market, that the recent movements had any-
thing but shOten the confidence of his friend; 800 to RA
400 to 50, and other bets at the same price, were taken quietly„
anti, in reply to subsequent endeavours to get on. no one
offered more than 7to 1. The Joanna colt was the next
favourite of the lot ; 25 to 1 was taken frequently, but nothing
approaching to eagerness was evinced, nor did the sum invested
reach any considerable antemit ; the Lord of Holderness was
almost unnoticed until near seven o'clock, when 30 to 1 was
laid in ponies, offered again, and refused. Meteor was scarcely
in better odour, 30 to 1, taken in two or three quarters, having
bees followed by several unaccepted offers of 1,000 to 30. Thee
odds taken about Chatham and Auckland are very encouraging
to those who stand upon them ; 17 to 1 was taken freely about
the first, and 18 to 1 by two or three other parties about the se-
cond. A reported trial in John Day's stable had the effect of
bringing up Eleus to 35 to 1, and of driving Wiseacre to
(layers of) ,40 to 1 ; the first of this pair was, backed at 1,000
to 15, 1,000 to 20, 4,000 to 100, several times at 35. to
I, and finally at 2,200 to 60. The Frederica colt, ;an-
other of the Danebury lot, :was backed frequently at 1,000 to
15. Moss Trooper was in force with a select, and after some
bets of 1000 to3o, eiOted firmly at 30 to 1. Mr. Osbaldeston's
lot was introduced at ItZ >0 to 15, and at that price backed to
win thirteen or fourteen the'isandpounds ; one of them Brother
to Cantle, was supported with mrit by his owner at 2,000 to
20, and 2,000 to 15, add ano'her, The-Devil-among-the-
Tailors, by other parties at similar Dais ; the layers in each
case continuing their offer at the higher quotation. The Oaks
betting was flat : Bto I was laid agst :Syren to 501., and 13
to 1 would have been taken about Passion:- A few bets were
• laid agst Wiseacre and Meteor fpr the 2,000 Guineas' Stakes at
falling prices. The betting closed at a little before seven o'clock,

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The platforms of two of our chief London stages present at
this moment the contrastive picture of Shakspere's drama of
Macbeth, represented by their individual companies, with the
leaders at each of acknowledged eminence. Both casts of cha-
racters ate familiar to the cognizance of play-goers' Mr. Mao-
ready, Mrs. Warner, and Mr. Phelps, being the Macbeth, Lady
Macbeth, and Macduff at Drury-lane ; and Mr. Charles Kean,
Mrs. Charles Kean, and Mr. Stuart personating correspond-
ing parts at the Haymarket. To invest, therefore, an other-
wise trite subject with somewhat of a glossier air than consists
in reiteration of what has been subject of praise or dispraise
in former seasons, we shall for once, like Plutarch, deal
in parallels, and put in juxtaposition the more striking merits
of the two. The mannerisms of Mr. Kean are equally promi-
nent with those of Mr. Macready : the latter developes them in
verbal peculiarities ; the former attitudinizes his. Mr. Ma-
cready makes manifest the man, and works out with subtle maa-
terliness the abstruser imaginations of the poet, making himself
the being operated upon by spiritual agencies, and stumbling
under the influence of destiny through the steps if a.
Clark, unriddled, and portent-laden future. Mr. Kean 't
has, on the other hand, little ideality of character
he reads it more as a truism ; and infuses only a
high-pitched melodramatic strength to his positions and con-
ceptions. The dazzled bewilderment of Macready finds pour-
trayal in his constantly glassed eye, which always seems spec-
trally splendid with prophesied dooms of the weird sisters; the
eye of the latter is comparatively common-place in its astonish-
ment; the unalterable hoarse gravelly utterance also of Ms.
Kean is at variance with some passages, whose rteney lies is
a flexile intonation. But points there are which Mr. Keats
essentially makes his own, and invests with startling power. Last
night beheld him magnificent in the banquet-scene. His delivery
of " unreal mockery—hence 1" when, with hands erected before
his face, he strove to shutout the blood-red phantom of his former
friends while his spirit, nevertheless, seemed harrowed to its
roots with terror, was surpassingly fine—was unsurpassable.
Again also did he outrun the gauntlet with Macready in his
fall under the sword of the " none-of-woman-born" Macduff;
in which with desperate lion-mettle he twice impales himself
on his antagonist's sword point, and then falls—not backward,
with breast to the sky—but forward in a death-sprawl towards
his adversary, hungry after annihilation. One other point that
strikes us, however, shows we think fine reading rather ors
Mr. • Macready's part ; it is where amid the din and'
confusion of the advancing enemy Macbeth seeks of
the physician the state of his wife's health; the
same breath that a minute before was hoarse with battle-
orders and denouncement, slides into an exquisite suavity,
communicative of pain and condolence, in the inquiry that
asks of her state: a chivalric tenderness characterized this
touch, and its pathos was consummated in the subsequent pas-
age, when the messenger on entry, informing him of his lady's
death, he in sudden painfulness drops his truncheon, and solilo-
quizes on the transitoriness of mortality : Mr. Kean has not
perceived this nice beauty : the herald of ill tidings, and the
Vphysician, are botfi treated by him with scurrilous disdain. Mrs..
arner in strength of voice has undoubtedly the advantage our
Airs. Charles Kean in deeper tragic pas.ages ; butin those of as
oscytonal character, she loses by comparison : the latter lady's
tauntings of her husband for his cowardice, and goading him to,
stand stiffly to his purpose, were delivered effectively in this.
key. Very choice, too, indeed was she in the sleepwalking
scene—her internal communings were finely given—and her
stifled acting was emphatic. With regard to Macduff, Mr..
Phelps still stands unparalleled. He depicts the depth and
tension of manful grief with matchless power; his heart-
chords seem wrung by an internal painfulness too suffocative for
utterance. Mr. Stuart, on the other hand, pours eut erup-
tively, and nothing is left 'to be understood. The vision of
kings at Drury-lane forms a rich morsel of scenery; at
the Haymarket it is dull ; while, on the other score, its witch-
scenes, with their dusky paraphernalia, are decidedly better
than its h igher rival's—the charm seems made t o " grow madder. "
Air. and Mrs. Charles Kean were called for by the audience,
and enthusiastically greeted, at the conclusion. The Child of
the 0 reck ensued, in which Mademoiselle Celeste comports
herself with some very pretty figurations; and the farce of
John Jones concluded the entertainments. Among the higher
grade of company present to view the splendid debut of Mr.
and Mrs. Kean, we were glad to obierve Lord Campbell, the
late Chancellor for Ireland, in excellent health and spirits, with
his two beautiful daughters.
