SADLER'S iVELES THEATRE.

Oft
Shakspere's Henry Me FifiJ was produced last even-
ing. play as edited by Mr. Phelps, has been subjected
to considerable reduction, yet it moves somewhat
heavily. As a spectacle, hoi rover, it is highly brilliant.
The siege of Liarfleur ig the bird act, with all its war-
like accessories, had a peculiarly admirable effect. The
general performance was worthy of the peculiar reputa-
tion of the theatre, Care at id intelligence were the
characteristics of the iotlrior elation. Mr. Phelps de-
livered the speeches of the amiable, chivalric monarch
with his accustomed ability ; and in all those passages
in which Macready was wont .to create a sensation—such
as the speech before the battle of Agincourt, and the
bluff, open-hearted address to Katherine—his frank,
manly tone was quite in accordance with the spirit of
the character, sna suffered lilt le by comparison with his
great contemporary. The fine monologues of the
.c Chorus" were bestowed on Mr. H. Marston, who, ha-
bited as Time, ,recited his pr emonitions with due and
emphatic solemnity. The, house was completely
•rowded.

occurred last week at a privat(3 meeting which took place of
some of the leading members of the turf, that a committee
of inquiry will be appointed to take evidence before any
legislative measure is proceeded with in reference to betting-
