by his usurious prao:tieel 31.heTossibly. can. As for
his,N-vife; though th'eauthiiretfci ntt'speCify the exact
extent of her priyationST"'W fear, that her . husband
does not allow her more than five shillings a week,
On-which he evidently expects that she shall keep'
herself and household. But .this is not the worst of
poor Eufrania's sufferings, for, fallen though she is
in fortunes, she finds that Vitelli .still persecutes • her
with his odious addresses, and on one remarkable oc-
casion endeavous to rouse her jealousy, V'inventing
the following diabolical Calumny on her husband :
" But yesternight, as I lay stretched alOng.
The river bank; in'the breath revelling
Of balmy eve, at sunset's 'chanted hour,
Approach there did a foot which broke my dream.
As from a trance I startled into life,
And viewed (oh, the foul horror, have I words
To mention it?) the substance of my dream !
With a foul wanton I my master saw
Kissing and cooing like a new-joined pair."
_ _ _

To this malicious insinuation Eufrania makes a very
proper and spirited reply, She knows well that a
usurer, with a beard like a he-goat's, and who cares
for nothing but the blunt, is not the man to go kis-
sing, and cooing, and caterwauling, so expresses her
sense of Vitelli's falsehood in this energetic and im-
passioned style :
" Most wanton liar ! Now thy soul is grimed
And black as Hell to conceive such a thought !
Fool, do you think I am so great a slave
To passion, that I'd let a jealousy
Unfounded as a madman's brain, swoop down
My rest of life into the dark abyss
Of sharp, soul-cankerincr remorse?—Let not
Your presence again offend mine eyes—begone !"
But Vitelli won't go. On the contrary, he sticks
like bricks to Etifrania, and when she flatly tells him
that his " zeal is lust," the lewd wretch, struck by the
apt felicity of her hypothesis, draws a rapier from his
kickseys, and is just about to spit her therewith, when
in rushes Fernando, and of course defeats his murder-
ous intentions. The tragedy now hurries to a close.
After one or two more incidents of no great moment,
Vitelli succeeds in stabbing Fernando, who dies in
the middle of a long speech, but not before he has
subjected several inoffensive metaphors to a serious
compound fracture. The murderer is immediately
seized and carried off to the nearest station-house ;
and Eufrania is left, at the.fall of the curtain, looking
as silly as a sheep, and expressing her decided convic-
tion that Fernando is as .dead:as mutton ! Such is a
brief, hasty summary of the leading incidents of this
very remarkable tragedy, which, we regret to state,
is, in some of its passages, quite as incomprehensible
as Sir Robert Peel's Income-tax Bill, and is likely to
obtain just the same amount of popularity. As well-
wishers to the authors, we should strongly advise
them to send a copy of their play to the Right Hon.
Baronet, who, as a dealer in the unintelligible him-
self, can scarcely fail to appreciate this faculty in others.

The bell for saddling having been sounded, the course
was cleared with surprising rapidity, and in a few
instants afterwards all was in readiness for the exciting
struggle for

old colts, Bst 71b, and fillies, Bst 21b ; the second to
receive 100/. out of the stakes, and the winner to pay

Betting at starting :-11 to 8 agst Coldrenick ; 5 to 1
agst Attila (6 to 1 laid two or three times); 12 to I. agst
Jack ; 12 to 1 agst Forth's lot ; 14 to 1 agst Seahorse ;
20 to 1 agst Agreeable c ; 30 to 1 agst Chatham ; 40 to 1
agst Combermere ; 40 to 1 agst William de Fortibus ;
40 to 1 agst Lasso ; 50 to 1 agst Auckland ; and 1,000
to 10 agst any other. It will be seen that Auckland was
ridden by Lye, instead of Marson, the change having
been made in consequence of anonymous letters received
by Lord Westminster, as stated by some ; but from dis-
satisfaction at Satirist's race, as insisted upon by others.
The race was advertised to come off at half-past -two ;
and at that time most of the horses appeared at the
post, but it is easier to get a large field to the post than
front it, and so it proved to-day ; for two or three false
starts, and several dodging attempts, caused an immense
delay, and it was fully half•past three " by Shrewsbury
clock" before the final start took place. This accom-
plished, and the horses fairly settled into their places,
Combermere took the lead, followed by Attila, Lasso,
and Belcceur, the second lot being headed by Auck-
land, Chatham, Seahorse, Policy, and Coldrenick ;
to these succeeded a body of horses (in racing phraseo-
logy " the ruck"), and then the tail—viz., Defier, Ro-
bert de Gorham, Palladium, Hydaspes, and Jack, the
hitter having lost a start of nearly one hundred yards.
For the first quarter of a mile the pace was moderate ;
it then quickened, and Lasso immediately vacated the
third place ; but in other respects the race proceeded as
we have described it, until near the turn, when Bel-
cceur headed Attila and Combermere, and, with the two
at his shoulders, carried the running into the straight
course, the lot behind consisting of Chatham, Auckland,
Seahorse, Policy, and the Agreeable colt, Robert de
Gorham, who had gradually improved his position, lying
next. The front rank continued intact to the road, but
it was otherwise with that behind it. Coldrenick had
already shown that the distance was too great for him.
Chatham fell lame ; Seahorse, Policy, and the Agreeable
colt had shot their bolt, and Robert de Gorham
passing them in succession, took his ground next
to Auckland. A few yards from the distance Corn-
bermere gave up in toto, and fell into the ruck,
and immediately after Attila shot past Belcceur, took a
decisive lead, kept it to the end, and won with the most,
perfect ease imaginable by two lengths. Robert de
Gorham ran by Auckland half way up the distance,
collared Belcceur at the stand, and beat him for the
second money cleverly by a length, Auckland being well
up with Belcceur at the finish. The Agreeable colt and
Policy were fifth and sixth, Seahorse dividing them
from the crowd behind. Jack and Palladium were
about the last two. The pace was good, but cer-
tainly not first-rate. Value of the stakes, 4,9001.
Colonel Anson, Lords Chesterfield and Maidstone, and
in fact, all the, gentlemen connected with Scott's ,stable,
are great winners on the-race ; the Manchester men are
also on the right side, the balances to be handed over
amounting, according to report, to 70,000/. ! (Where
is it to come from ?) Considering what favourable op-
portunities the Coldrenick party had of hedging their
money, we take it for granted they have not been hit
very hard ; albeit their confidence (in a very bad horse)
was almost without a parallel in the annals of racing.
The settling will take place on Tuesday next ; it must
be heavy—we hope it may be a good one.
