TROTTING MATCH,
GUILT Panvontrancr.—Yesterday, Mr. Mars undertook to
trot his favourite Arabian mare 15 miles, in a gig, on the Black-
water-road, for 200 guineas, and to carry fourteen stone. The
mare went off at score, and did the first mile under four mi-
nutes. Immense sums were pending upon the match, and bet-
ting, which at starting was two to one on time, was live to four
on the mare after she had done the first mile. She did the next
three miles in eleven minutes and four seconds, with plusity of
work in her. Half the distance was performed in 29 minutes
ten seconds, and-the whole was completed in a quarter of a mi-
nute within the hour. The mare did not seem fatigued; she
performed the distance without making a single break out of the
trot.

*EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCKAIetter from
an Officer of the CONWAY, dated Rio Janeiro, Octo-
ber 2, says;—" In latitude 1.20. N. and' long. 22.
SO. W. we caught a bird called a Booby, With a
piece of leather tied to one of its legs, having.' Henry
e Nantes on it, which we took off, and tied on a
piepe of silver, with' H.M.S. Colova,T,'-and the la-
de and longitude as above markedon it, and then
let the bird fly : and what is very singular, on our
arrival at Rio Janeiro, we found the said ship Henry
de Nantes, loading for France ; and it appeared by
Tier 'log, they caught the bird and let it go again at
least 600 miles from where we caught it."
DRURY•LANE THEATRINThe Play of Marro
'was last night represented to a very numerous and
respectable audience. The part of Rolla was well
suppOrted by Mr. WALLACK, and the other cha-
racters filled with good effect. The very humorous
Afterpiece of Don Giovanni .in London succeeded :
At the commencement of the. second scene a serious
accident occurred, which caused much consternation
throughout the House. On the descent of the dragon,
owing to some mismanagement of the scenery, the
person who was seated on it-fell headlong on the
Stage, from nearly the top of the cieling, and al.
peered motionless: he was immediately carried off,
and the performance was interrupted by loud cries
from all parts of the Theatre, for the Manager. A
delay of some minutes took place, when a performer
came forward, and assured the audience that medical
aid had been called in, tied the result should speedily
be made known to them. At the end of the Act,
the Manager was again called for; and Mr. HARLRY
then intimated that the accident was not so serious
as at first apprehended, and that the person who had
unfortunately fallen, though severely bruised, was
likely soon to recover the performance then went on.
COVENT.•GARDKW.••••• VANDZ3IHOPI repeated
the character of Lear, last night, with increased WC%
cess. The audience testified their approbation of
his great merit by repeated plaudit. 'The iiintio
was well filled.
