SKETCHES OF LONDON ACTORS AND

TURKEY.

YEE. ALFRED MELLON, LATE MISS WOOLOAR.
It is but little more than a twelvemonth back that
the theatrical world was threatened with the loss of

one of its popular favouri•es. No " farewell benefit" I
or "last appearance" waa announced, but quietly
the name of Miss Woolgar disappeared from the bills
of the Adelphi Theatre, where for mauy seasons she •
had been one of the attractions. To those conversant
with theatrical gossip the cause of this secession was
no secret : the lady had entered into another engage-
ment, and bad made her first appearance in what Mr.
Buckstone designate. as the comedy of "Married Life."
It takes a very long time to get accustomed to a new
name when the old one has been so familiar to the
tongue, and Mrs. Alfred Mellon must for some sea-
sons to come submit to be called Miss Woolgar on the
playbills. It was with feelings of real satisfaction
that on the opening of the Lyceum Theatre, under
Mr. Charles Dillon'. mansgement, the public found
the name of an old favourite on the roll of the new
compny.
Miass iVoolgar's style of acting affords but few
points for critical observation, it. general tone being
pleasing and satisfactory rather than brilliant.
Without ever being great, she is always amusing.
Her mirth and gaiety, if not a portion of herself, are
at least so cleverly put on, that they do not appear
as if adopted for the mere purposes of acting. Miss
Woolgar, without ever having made a positive/wore
in any of the characters which she has assumed, has
in most of them contrived to leave upon the audience
an impression eminently satisfactory. This may be
ascribed to a certain smoothness in the acting, and
an absence of that straining after effects which so
frequently defeats itself. Among the personal ad-
vantages of Miss Woolgar may be mentioned regu-
lar and pleaeing features, easily lending themselves to
most varieties of expression, bat better suited on
the whole for the gay than the sentimental; a voice
capable of much modulation ; and a graceful, well-
formed figure. Although this active. has not made for
herself a long list of characters by which she can
be specially identified, she has accomplished
that which is no easy task—viz , acted many parts
with eclat, while the recollection of the original repre
mutative was fresh in the memory of the public. To
do this, and to do it successfully, requires not only
great study and thought, but a careful avoidance of
anything like imitation. Thu, as Cleopatra—the
character in which she inado her debut, in the farce of
Antony andeleepatru, and which Mlle Emma Murray
had rendered so popular, Miss Woolgar acted with a
freshness, gaiety, and esprit, which were all her own.
Agaie, as Nelly O'Neill, in The Green 8e,!,.., a cha-
racter Mrs. Fitzwilliam had played wish such marked
applause, Mies Woolgar suffered in no way by the
comparison. If we did not find all the warmth and
breadth which characterised the former lady's
style, we had in their place youth, earnest-
is., and sincerity of purpose. Perhaps the
best original dramatic part which Miss Wool-
gar has had is Lemuel, in The Flowers of the
.Forest. Her delineation of the gipsy boy could scarcely
have been more real had she studied the phases of
character in the tents of that wandering tribe. In
burlesque, Miss Woolgar has been the representative
of I long succession of princes, gay and chivalrous,
(=tulle aid captivating, as befit the denizens of that
" quint fable land" which generally furnishes the
subjects for this class of entertainment. In this
particular line she possesses a particular merit—that
of letting the rhyme flow trippingly from the
tongue: the points are made without apparent
effort, as if unconscious of uttering a pun, yet
failing to make it tell; while her sing-
ing, if lacking operatic pretensions, is all that
is required for the occasion. The character in
which Mies Woolgar re-visited the glimpses of the
footlights is Florizel, in the burlesque upon the
Winter's Tale. It was of the usual class to which
this lady has been so long accustomed, and has been
toted by her with all her former excellence. Her
retirement and rest, while it has given her health and
more freshness, has not deprived her of any of those
"sirs and graces " with which she was wont to delight
us on former ()unions. With the exception of one
season, when Miss Woolgar played at the Lyceum
Theatre under the maosittmeat of the Keeley., she
has been throughout her theatrical career a member
of the Adelphi company.

MUSIC.

DRURY-LANE ITALIAN OPERAS.

The performance of the Barbiere di Siviglia leetl
night was marred by an untoward event, the sudden India
rattles of the charming Rosins, Madame Gassier. The
part was taken (as was announced) at an hour's notice by
Mdlle. Berti, a young lady who appeared list season, at
Her Majesty'aTbastre, in several small parts, and acquitted
herself very creditably. The indulgence of the audience
was earnestly entreated in her behalf, and she required it,
for the part was quite beyond her strength, and she got
through it rather than performed it. The weakness of •
part which demands so much spirit and brilliancy damped
the whole opera, and was especially irjurioos to Reichardt,
who appeared for the first time u Count Almaviva. He
acted and sang admirably, and is evidently one of the best
representatives of the ter we have seen. We hope be
will have an oppsrtunity of repeating the part with better
support.

LA Roos DE FLOSINCS—Few operas which have
lately appeared o• the Parisian stage have obtained a more
genuine sancta this the above place, which was produced
last week at the Grand Opera. It is the work of Signor
Biletta, a young Italian cowpoxr who resided some yean
in London, ►ere he was admired in our musical cite.=
for his genies, aid esteemed for his excellent qualities. His
English opera, The While Mope, brought out here during
that period, notwithstandlog a very Imperfect performance,
nude an impression which is not yet forgotten. Ile has been
mere fortunate now ; and his aew opera, aided by the means
red appliances of the great French musical theatre,
has already laid the foundation of • reputation which
it only lies with himself to maintain by future works. The
Judgment of the public has been confirmed by that of the
press. The most eminent entice ate unsoimons in their
opinion, and vie with each other la the warmth of their
commendations, and among his eulogists is Rector Berlioz
himself, one cf the most illustrious of living zunoicisne.
The subject of the libretto, which is by M. de St. George,
is vary like that of oar well-known Adeiphi drama Vlc.
torine. A young woman, on the eve et marriage, has
admitted into her heart or fancy a liking for another man
than her Aimed. Giving way to this weakness, she fells
Into • course of folly, sinks deeper end deeper, till she
resolves to end her woes by suicide. She throws herself
into the river, aid waking, finds it was all the dream.
Of course she takes the lemon, and is happy. This
subject, if not now, is interesting, end is so nested
as tv give room for excellent musical effects. The composer
leas not throws the opp7rtunity away, and the manic is
dramatic as well as beastifal. We find in Gefismain the
following estimate of its merits, which may be taken as a
concise ezpremion of the general opinion of the Parisian
critics Opera plots are little subject to criticism, and
the prineat 14 Leith= better nor worse than the average ;
the best point in it is, that it affords due opportunities for

Mr. Jcyee appeared fir the plaintiff, and Mr. Serjeant
Ballaatine for the defendant.
. .

Both the plaintiff end defendant were in the employment
of Mr. Hayes, the distiller, and the action was brought to
recover compensation in dameges for an assault. It
appeared that the plaintiff intend Mr. Hayes's
service In July last, and lit the following
August be received • notice to leave, and, in
pursuance of that notice, left in the September fol-
lowing. Conceiving that the defendant was the
primary cause of his removal, he wee greatly aggrieved,
and charged him with being so. Angry words passed
between the parties, the defendant eitigmatieing the
plaintiff as a liar, and he, on the other hand, calling the
defendant a sneak. On the evening of the 4th of October
the defendant called at the plaintiff's house twice, but
on each occasion failed to obt4in an interview;
but, subsequently, he received • note from the plaintiff inti-
mating that en interview might be had. Accordingly, the
defendant calls.' again, saying he had Came to demand an
apology, adding that it was a lie to accuse him of being
the cause of the plaintiff's dismissal. To this the plaintiff
replied that be had no apology to make, and desired the
defendant to leave his house. An altercation ensued, and,
according to the plaintiff's version of the case, the
defendant struck him • violent blow when le►ving the
house, and challenged him to come out in the street.
This friendly proposal was not acceded to by the
plaintiff, and the defendant thereupon demanded his hat
and umbrella, w►ich he had lost in t:e onelie. They
were thrown out into the street by the plaintiff and his
wife, and, on the plaintiffs retiring within doors, the defen-
dant struck him • blow on the head with the umbrella. The
plaintiff, In his crove-ezemination, said t'• at when he called
the defendant &sneak he meant to insult him, and that be was
afterwards made aware by Mr. Hayes, his employer, that
the defendant had not been the cants of his rem.val—the
true moo being that Mr. Hayes considered him incompetent.
He also admitted that he, in the course of the struggle, spat
upon the defendant. The substantial defence set up was
that the pnvocation which the plaintiff bad given i• the
first instance, by making an unfounded charge, was suffi-
cient to justity the a•aeult which w.• committed, and that
the defendant had struck the plaintiff for having offensively
spat upon him. . .

such eases into the superior courts, and expressed hle

ment charging him with the wilful murder of Richard Cope.

The prisoner, who did not appear to exhibit any emotion.

moved.

anxiety appeared to be evinced to hear the procer dings.
Shortly after ten o'clock, Mr. Baron Alderson sad Mr.
Justice Coleridge took their 'eau on the bench, and the
prisoner was then again placed at the bar.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clerk appeared for the prosecution;

s:toad :

Mr. Frederick Berry, examined by Mr. Clerk-1 am •
jeweller, and reside at Stafford-row, Pimlico. My Shop is
in Parliament-street. It prGjews beyond the house, and

there is no room over it. The shop is not more than three
feet and a ball deep. The door of the shop swings on two
poets, and I generally est on the left hand aide as people
entered, end the deceased worked oa the opposite side to
me. The counter in the shop is about two feet wide, bat
the deceased had ncthing before him but a work-board.
and be was sap d from the shop by a glass
partition and door. The deceased hat: been In
my service for ten ycare. My custom was to have the stook
of jewellery packed up every night, and pat in a saeret and
mare place. No one slept upon the premises. The deceased
and I generally left the shop together ; but if I went first be
used to bring the keys and • box in a blue bag to my houses
If we left together, he aset to carry the bag and bon.
Tn. box was empty. I was at the shop on the night of
the 20th of October. The stock consisted of wetches and
jewellery that were exposed in the window for sale. I want
away from the shop • few minutes after eight on the 20th
of October, leaving the deci seed in the usual plate
where he worked, behind the ekes door. I returned to the
shop a few minutes past nine on the some evening, and I
then found the deceased an my side of the shop. I
stayed about ten or twelve 116111801,, and when I left the
shop was stilt open, the got burning, and the
deceased had commenced packintt up the stook.
and had put away the/ watches 1. ft to repair. The
stock on my side was all in the window and counter. I
brought • flag basket with me, sentaining a cod-fish, when I
came back, and I placed it in front of the counter, and told
the deemed to bring it with him to my house when he
came with the keys. This basket conid Woe been seen in the
plum where I left it when the door was opened. The decewed
was quits well when I left him, and he only complained of
a pain in his knee. lie was a cripple and a very small man.
lie ought to have been at my house by about twenty
minutes to ten, but he did net come; and the next morning
1 heard he was at the hospital. . .

20th Oct., stoat bet past nine o'clock. My attention wu
attracted by bearing & grosn from tte inside of the shop.
It was like that of some one who wu sufficing. I saw three
men minding close to the door ef the shop, and apparently
lookieg in. The right-hand side of the door was open about
an inch, and quite sufficiently to eneb'e soy one to se•
the counter of the shop. I naked the men what wu the
matter, and they said it was a man sad his wile quer-
relhog, and I walked on, leaving them behind. When
I had got about sin yards on, and not quite as far as the
mews at the back of Itichnson.l.tvirace, I returned, not
fading satisfied with the answer the man had given me, and
west again to the door of the shop. AU three men were
still there. I opened the door. There was a gat-light is
the shop,"and I saw the prisoner standieg en the left
band aide, and leaning over t►e counter, with a life-pre•
server la his band, with which be was striking
'the deceased, who was crouched down behind the
counter. Ms struck him on his bare bead on the left tides

and I /111 him strike three or four blows. I then appealed
to the pusees•by for assistance, end at this time the three
men I had drat wen had gone away. The persons I applied to

the man be was striking, picked op a parcel from the floor

♦ MAW SHOT 131 11121.2111 T.

A great manypcTsooeat;end;dtiie court and its avenue,
in eoesequeece of • report that • man had bees
shot in fiti pney, and that the attempted sir-
der., would be brought before the magistrate. It appeared,
however, that so person was is custody for each ea offesto,
and that the rumour bad its origin is the following dream-
stance :—Yesterday evening, about seven o'clock, a woman
dropped • silver fourpenny piece in John-street, Stepney-
causeway, and • labouring man named J. Daly, who was pase-
lag, ass avid ber in looking for it. While he was so engaged,
a mischievous boy, who had been playing with a pistol
loaded with powder and ball, either by accident or desists,
fired It on the opposite side of the road, sod
the ball lodged in the leg of the man who
was looking for the foarpeney-oiste. The IBM fell
and reclaimed, "I am shot." He was immediately
taken to the surgery of Mr. Monks, is the Commer-
cial-road, who dressed the wound and desired that the
unfortunate man should be removed to the Lon-
don Hosp:ttl, where the ball was extracted. On
making inquiries at the Rani's% thla morning our
reporter was informed that the isaa was going
en favourably. The author el the mischief ran away
directly he fired the pistol, and, notwithstanding the eater.
Vona of the police, en trace of him hes been discovered.
Two detectives of the H division have beta in search of the
boy all day.
