TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN

SIR,--A short time back I had the honour of delivering a
farewell Address at the termination of my management of the
Theatre Royal, Plymouth. The Address having been very
generally noticed by the London and provincial press, I am
compelled, in justice to distinguished members of the theatrical
profession, to solicit some contradiction of an inaccuracy in the
report of it.
Whatever may be my opinion of the effects of the starring
system on the provincial drama, I do not hold it honest to blame
those who make the most of the favour heaped on them by the
public, and who, from their position, seldom seek managers, but
vice versa. I copy from the Devonport Independent of May
14, what I really did say, speaking of Messrs. Kean and
Macready :
" These possessing first-rate attraction required first-rate re-
muneration. Ido not complain of this--it is only a fair return
for capital, for talent is the actor's capital. Rut this neces-
sarily decreases the manager's profits, as for weeks previous and
sub•equent to this attraction, the business is virtually impaired
by the engagement of the 'star.' Still, thelabourer is worthy
of his hire.' 1 never pay them 'grudgingly-it would be unjust
to do so. From Mr. Kean—and lam happy to acknowledge
it—l have received repeated acts of kindness. Twice in this
very theatre he played for me for nothing, making me a pre-
sent of his share of the receipts. This was perfectly unsolicited,
and most certainly unexpected."

In other respects the report, I am sorry tu say, presenting, as
it does, a melancholy but correct view of prOvincial theatres,
was correct.

I am exceedingly sorry to trespass on your time or space by
soliciting insertion of this, but I think, in justice to individuals,
it is necessary.—l have the honour to be your obedient servant,
May 31, 1642. J. C. HAY.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
ASCOT HEATH RACES.--THURSDAY.
" Why should a young, delicate, and amiable Queen, pa-
tronise horses and horse-racing?" We will tell you, Sir
Growler. The inhabitants of a certain city, erst famous in the
fairest part of Greece, wished to baptize it, and give it a name,
and a God and Goddess contended for the sponsorship—the ho-
nour the inhabitants decided should be given to the divinity
that presented them with the nsost precious gift. " The blue-
eyed maid of heaven," and the God, of the Sea, well-known
to Etonians as the once puzzling " Quo: Ego," were
fteth.armedcompetitors cpaa.at
ptihe, the
ferhormisteaning
christening. She
philo-progenitivewh b
who steppedunw
of old Jove's head, touched the earth, and it produced
the olive-tree, emblem of peace. Neptune hurled his
trident into the sandy shore, and thence bounded forth
a fiery steed, emblem of war. These were the presents.
The citizens of Attica chose the olive. and called their city
Athens, after one of the names of Minerva. We have traced
the origin of the horse to the God of the Sea. Such being
the fact, is it not right that his offspring should be patronised,
nay petted, by the Ocean Queen ? You have now a reason—
as good as any other—why that mighty (yet how mild and
delicate she looks I) woman you see standing at that window
above, intently gazing at those flying coursers, should be a
patroness of them. In fancy, at least, she may deem them
presents from, with her, the joint monarchs of the main.
Betimes this morning, bestirring themselves for Ascot, were
some thousands of the good folks of London. At six o'clock the
morning was beautiful, the sky chrystally clear, and the wide
and long thoroughfares running westward through the heart
and along the outskirts of the metropolis, were alive with per-
sons steering for the Great Western Railway terminus. A
cool breeze ( would that it had made itself felt all day) blew
east by north, and at seven o'clock all arrived at Paddington.
Even the train of that early hour, reaching nearly a quarter of
a mile, was thronged with passengers, carriages, and horses. It
did not arrive at Slough till 20 minutes past eight. At nine Old
Windsor was awake and busy, and we could at once see, from
the number of vehicles of all descriptions laden with passengers,
starting for the Heath, that before the races began it would be
covered with multitudes of " high and low degree."
The Heath at noon was a stirring, bustling, brilliant scene.
The northern border of the course from beyond the weighing
stand to the turn towards the east was lined outside the ropes
with carriages full of men, women, and children ; and inside
the ropes, between them and the barriers that bordered the
course, was a compact and continuous line of pedestrians.
Running westward from the Royal Stand was a can-
tonment of camp hotels and cabarets, filled between each
race with those whose stomach as well as sight re-
quired to be satisfied, consoled, and comforted. East
of the Grand Stand, ran a gaudy row of temporary " hells,"
paved, we believe, reversing the proverb, with shocking bad
intentions. In front of the entrances of these leave-all-hope.
behind receptacles were troops of glorious thimble-riggers,
bonneters, and buffoons, without whose presence the appear-
ance of an English race-course would not be perfectly polished.
The heat at mid-day was intense, and its stinging sultriness was
increased by the cloud of dust and sand, raised by arriving car-
riages and horses, blown over it by a nearly easterly wind. The
sward of the course, and of the slope, fresh and green on Tues-
day, was trodden down, and its grass had the appearance of
parched and beaten stubble. _

A little before one the course was cleared, a step, if but for
one reason, very proper. It prevents the royal cortege from
being hemmed in by over-eager gapers, and allows all to have
a distinct view of her Majesty, her princely Consort, and illus-
trious suite.

Shortly after one o'clock, the Royal cortege was seen turning
into the heath, and as soon as it was entered, the line of
people on each side impatiently gave way, and had it not
been for the exertions of the police, the whole line on both
sides would have closed upon the procession, impeded its pro-
gress, incommoded her Majesty, and deprived thousands of her
affectionate subjects of a clear view of her person. Ac she
passed along to the Royal Stand, the loyal shouts of some
30,000 persons greeted her ears ; the waving of hats, handker-
chiefs, anti parasols must, through the eye, have brought convic-
tion to the Royal mind of the ardent attachment of the great
nation of whom she is, blessed be Providence for it, sovereign
mistress.

The cavalcade of outriders was, as on Tuesday, headed by
the Earl of Rosslyn, Master of the Buckhounds, mounted on
a beautiful and well-trained 'charger. Following the Royal
carriage there were seven others, and two pony phaetons, each
of the latter drawn by four dashing little greys. In the first
carriage with her Majesty were his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, and their. Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Saxe
Meiningen ; in the second carriage were the Duchess of
Kent (loudly cheered), and Count Mensdorf, in the third car-
riage were the Duke of Wellington and the Duke and Duchess
of Sutherland. The veteran warrior was hailed with the
loudest plaudits. In the other carriages we observed the four
young Counts Mensdorf, the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort,
the Marquis of Exeter, the Marquis of Worcester ; Earls
Jersey, Aberdeen, Delawarr, Dunmore, Liverpool; Countesses
of Dunmore and Rosslyh ; Lord George -Lennox, Lord C.
Wellesley, Lord Rivers, Sir E. Bowater, Mr. and the lion.
Mrs. Anson, Hon. C. A. Murray, Hon Miss Liddell, and the
Hon. Miss Paget.

Just before the races commenced, nothing could look more
brilliant than the Grand Stand. Its roof, broad balcony,
portico at the base, and slope in front, were thronged, even to
wedging, with beau. y and fashion.

""
By Heavens, it was a splendid sight to see !
For him who had no wife or daughter there ;
Their rival scarfs of mixed embroidery,
And rainbow ribbons flaunting in the air !"
On the whole we have not seen for some years so brilliant and
numerous an assemblage drawn together to see the Gold Cup
lost and won.

As a proof of the strong desire to be at Epsom to-day, as
early as five o'clock in the morning several carriages passed
through Egham. The "sleeping beauties" in them—most of
the ladies were fast asleep—were determined to be first among
those on heath, and so avoid confusion and dust, and secure
stands for their carriages. It would be careless in us if we
neglected to mention, with the praise always justly due to him,
the name of Mr. Careless, (careless by name, but not by
nature), the right cautious and good caterer for the comforts of
those who temporarily tenant the Grand Stand. To-day,
if that be possible, he surpassed himself, and we heard
nothing but satisfaction expressed at his exertions. The
Royal Hotel at Slough ought not to be forgotten.
It is a very handsome edifice, pleasantly situated,
and commanding a delightful prospect. The accommo-
dation interiorly is, we are informed by a competent judge,
excellent, and the prices wonderfully moderate.
Shortly after the tough old mare Beeswing won the Cup,
amid loud hurrahs her Majesty, Court, and suite took their
departure. She and the Duke of Wellington were cheered to
the very echo, as they proceeded down the course.
Besides the Royal family and noble persons already named,
attendant on her Majesty, we noticed on the Grand Stand the
following distinguished personages :—Duke of Rutland, Mar-
quis and Marchioness of Clanricarde, Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Downshire, Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter,
Marquis of Westminster, Marquis of Granby, Marquis of Nor-
manby, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl of Wilton.

Lanercost was beaten, and at the turn he was last in the race.
Eringo held the second place to the stand, where The Nob
passed him, and challenged the mare ; for a moment he headed
the race, but the " pride of the north " resumed her position

THOMAS HENRY LISTER, ESQ,

LATE REGISTRAR-GENERAL

Mr. Lister, whose death we announced on Wed-
nesday, in addition to the high official capacity which
he filled, was a litterateur of no ordinary pretensions.
Added to these circumstances, he was related by
marriage, on his own and that of his sister's side, to
two of the first houses in the land ; he himself had
been espoused to a branch of the old Clarendon
family, and his sister to Lord John Russell.
The deceased Registrar was a man constant and
diligent in his studies ; those periods not occupied by
the business of his office were devoted by him to the
steady pursuit of literature and the fine arts, and he
has earned no mean name by the productions which,
from time to time, his pen has bestowed upon the
world. The first work which made him known to
the public was " Granby," which redounded much to
his fame. Few of our readers but are acquainted with
the merits of this excellent performance.
Mr. Lister, no less master of a good and vigorous
prose, had also essayed the heights of poetry, by ad-
vancing into the tragedial line. Shortly after -he
had made himself known as the "Author of Granby,"
he produced a five-act historical play, under the title
of "Epicharis," which was so far a favourite with
readers, that a call .for a second edition was made
upon Messrs. Colburn and Bentley. This historical
tragedy, on the 14th of October, 1829, was repre-
sented at Drury-lane, and the four prominent charac-
ters of the play were supported by Young, Wallack,
and Cooper ; Epicharis, the Grecian freedwoman,
the heroine of the piece, was chastely and exquisitely
enacted by Miss Phillips. The tragedy of Epicharis
is founded on the history of Piso's conspiracy, as re-
lated in the fifteenth book of the Annals of Tacitus.

The chief work by which Mr. Lister became known
to the public was his " Life and Administration of
Edward, first Earl of Clarendon," which was first
published in 1838. A biography of this celebrated
man had long been wanting.to our modern literature,
and Mr. Lister's book admirably filled up 'the gap.
The author, moreover, from his alliance with the ex-
isting house of Clarendon, had opportunities at his
disposal which. other forerunners in the same line had
lacked.; for Mr. Lister married Theresa Villiers, a
niece of the, present Lord Clarendon, who belongs to
a branch of the house of Jersey, who, having inter-
married with one of the feinale descendants of the
Chancellor, was, on the extinction of his male line,
raised to the Earldom of Clarendon. The unpub-
lished papers which he had at his disposal were,
through these means, of consequence and authenticity,
and served. to give his book value and authority.
Mr. Lister's style had the merit of being clear and
unaffected; in his works, especially where matter of
historical research was needed, he showed diligence
in exploring' rather deeper than the surface of
authorities. His views of general questions were
honest and not unphilosophical.
it was soon after the passing of the Act for the
Registration of Births, Deaths, and Marriages, that
Mr. Lister was appointed Registrar-General, an office
which he continued to fill efficiently and well to the
time of his death. This act was originally passed on
or about the third week in August, in the year 1836.
Those who are acquainted with the history of the
times, are well aware of the struggle between the
Lords mid Commons upon several of the clauses and
provisions contained in the Registration Marriage
Bill as it was at first framed ; and the opposition
which was instituted against the measure, the Dis-
senters being the chief parties affected by it. The
subsequent measure, which, however, consentaneously
came into force with it, that of the Registration of
Births Bill, was, of course, by those who could not
comprehend the real honesty of the Melbourne party,
alleged to have been brought forward for the creation
of "an enormous amount of patronage." Be that as
it may, on the creation of its proper officers, Mr.
Henry Lister was selected to act at the head of the
whole. The number, however, of places created
under him, was not more numerous than this excel-
lent measure demanded ; and while himself, by the
Act, was " removable at pleasure," he had at his own
disposal and nomination, in connexion with the Board
of Guardians, a superintendent-registrar in every
union-parish in the kingdom, or about 825 agents.
Each union also was to have at least four registrars,
making a body in all of 3,300.

QUENISSET.—The Droit states that Quenisset, who
since the sentence of death passed on him by the Court of Peers
was commuted was confined in the prison of the Conciergerie,
where he was in the habit of receiving numerous visits, was
awakened on Sunday night last by the gaoler, who informed
him that there was a carriage waiting to convey him to the sea-
coast. In a quarter of an hour afterwards Quenisset was tra-
velling on the Western road, escorted by two police agents. .
The Berlin State Gazette publishes a Royal Ordon-
nance, establishing a new Order of Merit for the Sciences (ex-
cept Theology) and Arts. M. de Humboldt is earned Chan-
cellor, and M. de Cornelius, Vice-Chancellor; and among the '
Knights already created are Prince Metternich, Messrs. de
Savingy, Gans, de Schelling, de Schlegel, Schoenlin, Tiek,
Lessing, Meyerbeer, Schadow, Arago, de Chateaubriand, Gay
Lussac, Listz, Rassun, Thorwaldsen, Horace Vernet, Ingres,
Letronne, Daguerre, Fontaine, architect to the King of the
French ; Mendelsohn, Bartholdv, Herschel, and Thomas
Moore. The German knights are limited to thirty. The
cross is to be worn suspended ronnd the neck by a black ribbon,
edged with silver.
ROBBERY AT THE RESIDENCE OF THE COUNTESS
OF ESSEX.—A robbery has been committed at the resi-
dence of the Countess of Essex, No. 9, Belgrave-square.
On Monday night the Countess of Essex went to a party
at Lord Francis Egerton's. Her Ladyship did not re-
turn until between one and two o'clock on the following
morning. About half-past six o'clock on Tuesday
morning a man named Hatton, who has for some time
been employed to clean the knives and forks, &c., rang
up the servants, and made them acquainted with the
fact that the hall door was open, and declared he
saw it in that situation as he approached the house. The
butler and housekeeper having been called up, searched
the apartments on the ground floor, and discovered that
from the dining-room a quantity of very valuable pro-
p..rty had been taken. The Counte4S of Essex was imme.
diately made acquainted with the fact, and her Ladyship
directly dispatched a note to the Commissioners of Police,
and then ordered a most diligent search to be made.
From the dining-room there were missed a pair
of large silver-gilt candlesticks, a smaller pair of ditto,
both pairs curiously wrought ; an Earl's coronet and
" S. X. S. X." cypher, a silver-gilt oval cover, with an
edge of open work, to cover a china vase ; a gold snuff-
box with coronet and cypher, a mosaic snuff-box, a
silver tea-pot, a gold dish, with the Royal arms, end
Derby, 1836, engraved on it, and worth upwards of 100
guineas ; a curious old blood-stone seal with a coronet
in gold, and three impressions, one a coronet, another a
hare ; a yellow topaz vinaigrette, an ormolu candlestick
with coronet and cypher and long handle, two tea-
spoons, and a pair of silver sugar-tongs. In the fire-
place was found by one of the maid-servants a dark
lantern. In the hall was found a small kitchen table-
knife, a carpenter's chisel and a stone chisel, the end of
which had been softened in the fire, and then turned up,
to represent a " Jemmy," a small crowbar used by
housebreakers. Inspectors Forbes, Moran, and Hughes
were sent to examine the premises, and they reported
that they could find no external or internal marks of
violence. The value of the property stolen exceeds 200/.
Some of the property of Wigney, the Brighton
beaker, who failed recently, is supposed to be concealed
at liamburgh, andevery exertion is making it is said, to
discover if such be the ease,—Globe.
