GALWAY ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

London, Friday Night,
Stn,—As a friend of Mr. Lynch's, I am happy to acquaint
you that his return for Galway is a matter of certainty. His
opponent is Sir Valentine Blake, the oldest Baronet in Ire.
land, and a man of considerable talents, but a mere tool of the
monks and priests, with which that town abounds.
Mr. O'Connell gives his cordial support to Mr. Lynch.
Sir John Burke has patriotically consented to withdraw his
powerful claims on the Galway constituency, and it is melan-
choly to Fee Sir V. Blake acting the part of a "Tory Radi.
cal," with no other prospect than putting his opponent to an
immense expense. _

Between freemen and monks the honest Liberals run the
risk of throwing the borough into the hands of the Tories.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
A. Z.

say, that although the theatre was not crowded, it was yet so
respectably filled as to warrant us in believing that the receipts
would be of considerable advantage to the institution. The
entertainment commenced with The ifinter's Tale, and this
delightful play throughout was well performed. The comic
scenes were well sustained by Bartley, Strickland, and
Meadows. The opera of Fra Diavolo concluded the amuse.
ments of the evening.
