DRAMA.

HAYMARKET.

Mr. Sothern's accident boa had the effect at this
theatre of miring two, at leant, of those standard English
comedies which no company in Leedom is so well prepared
to perform. For the last fortnight Sheridan's Rivals has
taken an alternate share with Goldsmith's She Stoops to
Conquer, in attracting the public, the principal parte being
sustained by Mr. Backstops, Mr. Chippendale, Mr. Forma,
Mr. Howe, Yin Angell, Miss Soowdee, and Mrs. Fitirwilliant
The Haymarket Theatre, setting aside a few faults of Goa-
'traction, is exactly the size for a perfect comedy house ; not
so large that the actors are compelled toexaggeorate their acting
in optimum effects to the audience, and not too small to
keep that audience at a respectful distance. it is neither a
spouting arena, nor a "g►ff ;" and though Its scenery is
always good, and sometimes brilliant, it never degenerates
into a mere peep-show.
We have so lately spoken of the great and almost maim
merits of Mr. Backstone's Tony Lumpkin in She Stoops to
Conquer • a perform►nce which we are glad to am will be re-
peated several time, this week—that there is no need to en-
large upon them now. Mr. Backstooe, like the late Mr.
Wright, and a very few others, is amotally a low comedian
or humorist, and everthiog he does overflows with this
pommel quality. Many performers man or are pushed
forward as low comedians who are character-actors—men

whose personal humour is either small or bard, bat who
are clever io manatee-taring stage denim sad versatile in
expression. We remember seeing Mr. Bucks Woo is
any form in which his personal identity was destroyed by
wigs, paint, and dresses ; and we may conscientiously add
that we never wish to see him in each a form. As a gamine
personal humorist be represents one of the rarest orders of
actors, and represents them with a spirit which bee in-
creased rather than diminished.

Yr. Bothers will probably make his re-appearance about
the middle of the week in a little piece in which be will
sustain the only visible character. The idea of such a piece,
worked out by Yr. Craven, we believe is his own ; and if
something more than a mere " monopolylogue " (to um a
piece of theatrical fine language) is gives on, it ought to be
suoesufuL

As Imam Amin:max Caar..—The "Sligo ab-
duction case" is the latest rural romance. Mrs. Moran and
Ler daughter Mies Homes mane to the watering-place of
Strandhill, adjoining Sligo, last August, in the hope of be-
nefiting by the invigorating breezes of the Atlantic, and
as the young lady was fair, and reputed wealthny, she wee
mach admired. One night, while at • "dance, • manage
came that a young man wanted to see her at **door. On
approaching • few paces outside to speak to him, she was
seized by • number of persons and spirited away. Next
morning medical aid had to be obtained, the young
lady's health being in • most precarious state. On the
following day four men were arrested on informations.
One individual, said to be of the party, went by
steamer to Liverpool, but the eye of a constable wee on
him, and he was arrested when stepping oat of the Sligo
steamer on the quays of Liverpool. Last Michaelmas
Term an applimtion came before the Court of Queen's
Bench to admit the primeem to ball, bet the crown being
inexorable in its opposition, it was refused by the court.
gines then the prigooers, who bear the mamas of Lanett,"
Foley, and Flynn, have remained in pol, and sow await
their trial at the coming amines. On Thursday three
other men were arrested. Thee had goes to the resideece
of Mn. Moran for the alleged purpose of compound. the
offence of their confilres by the usual offer of run wring.,
but the young lady rejected the proposal in the most in-
dignant terms, and properly insipid, that the law shell bike
its course. It is stated that their conduce was so gross on
this last omission that the stipendiary magistrate, Mr.
Rowley, declined wept* Mil until the "law advisor" at
the Castle was consulted.
