THEATRICALS EXTRAORuINARY Ar Livry.•
POOL.

The andience at the Liverpool Theatre were amused last
Monday by the performance of two gentlemen—being, as :t
is presumed, the " first appearance" of rather " on any
wage." In the ploy bill of that evening, it was announced
that after the performance of Damon mid Pythias, " •
frentleinari of Liverpool" would be found " At Houle" in
m of Mr. MATIJIMS."

When Dr.Johnion was told of Foote's intention to rite
a personification of his figure, dress, anal manner, on ti ,e
stage, " What (said be. turning to Tom Davies, tie
informant,) is the price of a gool stick ?" The reply W4l
"Sixpence." " Then, Sir, (rejoined the Doctor, drawing
his luind from his pocket) huy me a shilling one,with whi! Is
I shall appear in the stare box on the night of the perform•
ance ; and if the rascal has the impudence to execute li.s
threat, I will do myself justice on his carcass in the face
that audience, who having witnessed my di';race shall *ls*
he spectators of his punishment." Foote, learning this
determina,ion, prudently abandoned his intention. Fortu-
nate had been for the stage struck gentleman of Liverpool.
had he followed Fooie's example, for immediately on the
appearance of this Amateur imitator of sir. Mathews, h
in ligriant father, leaping from a side box, applied a goud
asb plant so vigorously to the young aspirant for biEtnic
fame, that be quickly vanished from the stage.
The manager interposing, then Caine in for his share of
the indignant parent's resent, and bad the honour of
receiving, in the face of the audience, a quantum cuff of
castigation. The father, whoss feelings were thus crueni
excised, is a mercantile gentleman of unsullied reputation
and respectability.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
THE OR iND STEEPLE CIIASE.—The Steeple Chase between
Mr. HILIISON'S Rambler, Cept. Salter's Ellen, and Mr.Humtut.'s
Pedigree, made after the Hunters' Sweepstake at Bagshyt
Heath on Tuesday, for 43 soy. took place yesterday, from the
Bri xton mill, where the race seas run, to Maidenkead thicket.
The hunters is the former race stood thus:—
Rambler I 4 1
Elen 4 I 3
Pedigree ....3 I 2

The distance of the race is about ten miles, and much money
was pending upon it. The view across the heath, over the eh-
ceropioent ground, on Windsor Forest, was grand, from the
number of horsemen on full stretch. At Winkfield the compe-
titor► were lost on the narrow defiles, where they all separated,
end encountered some daring leaps, in a straight direction.—
Mr. Hanson got too much to the right, and was thrown out.—
Mr. Hodson entered the thicket in the south west corner, t,,t-
lowed closely by Captain Salter. The race was to a selected
half mile on the Beth road, crossing the thicket, and Pedigree
won it by three minutes, followed by Capt. Salter. The
ground was done in 42 minutes.

TROTTING OVER SUNE/CRli COMMON.—A bay horse, the pro-
perty of a Gentleman in the Borough, was started yestereny
for VO3 sovereigns, to trot in harness twelve miles in fifty nine
minutes. Tne match was won cleverly by a m mite and a had
within time.

The American roan started on the same ground to do one
mile in three min ges and six seconds, upon the trot, for St) soy.
The match was won with two seconds to spare.

Last week a Lady of colour appeared before the Magis•

Ltareetce, Dec. 6.—As no boat could venture into
Mutton Island till Thursday last, we have this day as-
certained the particulars of the . I wrecked there.—
She was the Glenaldele, of and for Liver') Rol, from the
river liambia, Richard Jones, Master, laden with raw
hides, bees' wax, ivory, gum-arable, copal, African timber,
and a quantity of other goods. The captain and crew are
still under quarantine in the island; the captain is the
only person sick. There were about 2000 skins and three
tons of bees' wax saved from the wreck, which has beat
sent to Kilrnsh, and lodged in the King's Store.
We have to record a most frightful and melancholy cir-
cumstance that occurred on the evening of Wednesday
last, as the people were returning from the fair—when a
man of the name of William Grady and his wife Were
passing the road at Glenary, in the County Waterford,
and abont two miles from this town, they were carried
away by the mountain flood which pours along the glen
with such destructive impetuosity. Yesterday the bodies
were found at Russelstown ; that of the woman was
dreadfully mangled, and the cloths a were torn fr on
the body by the stones with which it came in contar, and
with many of which it was precipitated along. The death
of this unfortunate couple was owing to the humanity of
the man ; for before the Iluo3 hail acquired its overaheloi-
ing body and velocity, he assisted eighteen persons in.
crossing this dangerous place ; when these were in safety,
lie took his wife under his arm, and had not
proceeded far when a sudden gust of wind sit
an increased body of water swept them ---
other persons--the Wi low Wail, of fib
Dungarvair, and Edmond Tirreen, her serf
drowned the same craning, as they were at
Noir, near to, and as they were returning ft
From the circumstance of finding a di

piece where lirady's wife was found, it
young woman, who is miss'ng, was drowi
tnen►ng.—Brady was a strong, active, and
