scene being one of the greatest suffering-not to the expiring representative of baronetcy-but to the beholders. To watch any rabid animal in the last moments of his existence is not by any means a pleasant task. What then must be the feelings of an audience who have to witness elaborated death struggles, when the actor not only imitates the gurgling in the throat, but actually foams at the month, and as they have it across the Atlantic, "piles up the agony" by spitting at his daughter? With the exception of Mr. Younge and Mr. Tilbury, in the characters of Marrall and Justice Greedy, Massinger has during this temporary season suffered sorry treatment. Another American-if not born in the United States, one who has graduated there-appears in the instance of Mrs. Catherine Sinclair at the HAYMARKET. But whether the school be bad, or some other cause, it cannot be declared that the débutante contrives to invest the characters of Beatrice or Lady Teazle with any particular interest. Far more enjoyment is to be met with in the afterpiece, the revived comedy of "A Cure for Love," in which Mr. Buckstone is most quaint and amusing as Mr. Sadgrove, a disappointed lover, who is constantly deploring the loss of his long-lost Laura. How he gets fuddled, how he attempts to drown himself in the Serpentine, and how he acts altogether in this part, should be seen by all who have the least appreciation of humour in their composition. At the LYCEUM the management of Miss Louisa Pyne and Mr. W. Harrison has been inaugurated under the most favourable auspices. The former is exactly suited to the character she sustains, vocally and dramatically, in "The Crown Diamonds," and this is saying not a little, considering the triumphs already achieved by Madame Thillon and others before her. So with her partner in managerial cares: Mr. Harrison acquits himself greatly to the satisfaction of the fashionable audiences that have distinguished the beginning of the new management.

Eulogist died at Chantilly during the month; Punster, brother to Adamas, after castration; and the stallion Catesby from a broken back. The obituary includes the death of the light-weight Deer, from an accident at Ipswich; of the elder Wakefield, also from an accident; and of Job Marson. Further reference to their several careers will be found in another part of the present number. A very fair settling has followed the St. Leger, of course a far more satisfactory one than could have been the case had either of the two cracks won. Blink Bonny would have ruined many a man in double events. The winning money goes chiefly to a middle class-neither "the gentlemen" nor "the legs," but certain members of the Exchange, who relieve their city business with a little child's play on the turf. The betting on the autumn handicaps is chiefly remarkable for the position held by Mr. Payne's Plush colt, which, selected from the first, has been coming faster and faster during the last few days. It reads like a good thing. Scott's horses, now the excitement of the Leger fluke has a little subsided, are by no means so much fancied; while December, Black Tommy, Saccharissa, and Fright promise to see a shorter price before the race than what they are now quoted at.
