At an earlY_hour yesterday morning, the reads

who were anxious to ascertain whether any of their
relatives or friends Avere among the' unhappy suf-
„ferers
.who lost their 'lives on Thursday night, last, .
as stated in our Paper Of yesterday: Besides the 18
killed in theTheatre, a great number were bruised
and wounded, several of whom were taken to the
London HoSpital."The Managers of the Theatre be- .
ing aware-of -the great- confusion that might ensue,
as-soon as the fatal accident shouldbecotne known,
, had taken the precaution to keep a set of constables
. during the whole of the night round the how, and •
early ih 'the morning .the Clerkenwell Volunteers
were on the ground, Who 'guarded every avenue'
leading to the Threatre, kept all the gates locked,
and permitted no' person to enter but thoie who
could sthstantiate the cause of their detrianding ad-
mittance—a distinEtion which might be easily as
certained by their sorrowful countenances, as some
appeared in a state of despair. As spoil as the
gates were opened foi their admittance, they were
thewo into the rooms Where the bodies were laid
out, presenting .one of the'moSt terrific and affed-
ing' speEtactes .possible to conceive. In ' the first
room were five men and five' women • they were
placed ' upon temporary tables round the room,
with their clothes on as they met tlieir death; the
faces of some of them were much disfigured, ,being
quite black froni.the elle& 9t suffocatibn. In the ,
~ •
next room "were two women; two bOys, and three ..
rnen,,laid out in the saline Maneer, and in the third' ,
room lay a beautiful little, girl, about eleven .yearti ,
Of age.. -The body appeared as if it had becti Mach
trampled upon. Seventeen of the bodies had, 'beet .
owned before twelve o'clock; each of them having a:, ,
libel pinned on the breast, specifying the name of .'
the sufferer', and some of theM with the' addition of
the place of abode. ' -- ' ..

John -Dobson,' 30, Colemanstreet, chemist ,and
druggist, • deposed, that on Thursday night he went,
accompanied by his wife, one of hii children, and
three or four friends, to Sadler's-Wells Theatre.—
The. Pit was quite fall; so that witness and his
friends .could not get a Seat, but were • obliged to'
stand on the forms at the back Of the Pit. -.About an
hour after Witness and ..his party had arrived at the
Theatre, six or eight men, and two girls, came in,
and were obliged also, for want of seats, to stand :
they stood very near Deponent. A very little time
after they
.came in, they appeared, very riotous, and
wished to quarrel, with those about- them ; but not
finding any person willing to quarrel, they soon, be-
gan to quarrel among themselves ; is appeared to
Witness and several other persons that the condu&
of those persons,was premeditated,and that their quar-
rel was only a pretence.. Several persons on the
spot, who had observed them, when they saw them
shoving one another out, cried, " turn them all
out," and they had just got as far as the door, when
Deponent heard. the noise. in, the Gallery, which
be supposed was caused by the people endeavour-
ing to ger out.,
.After the noise began in the .gallery,
and the riotous persons had got out of the pit, he
heart.l no more of the fight, nor did he hear any cry
of `,`,ire." Those persons in the. pit, who made
the most noise, and were most alarnied, were prin-
cipally ,women and children. One •of his friends
had left the pit. Witness went in ,search. of him,
'fbuna him in the yard, and brought !tieback ;• but:.
side of the house, the confusion was general; he
did not takeparticular notice of the persons who be-
haved so riotously, but thinks- it was owing to their
condtia' that the accident, happened; thinks he
should know two of those persons. With. great dif-
ficulty 'he kept his party quiet,. and in a little time
they.gat out with very great ease.. During the time
the Witness remained, fie saw several persons car.
tied. upon the 'stage, who appeared to be either
dead or very.much hurt. •
George Smith, one of the performers at, Sadler's
Wells Theatre,. deposed, that on Thursday night;
about laall past 10, he was'en the.stage, . when he
heard. a. tumult in
.the gallery, .and saw two men
fighting; he also,saw . several persons come over .the
gallery, and drop ..into the pit : he did every thing
in his power ,to , quiet the fears, of the audience.
When he saw the women fall irito the pit, he jump-
ed in his stage dreSs into the orchestra, and. assisted
in carrying several persons on the stage : he after-
wards went up to his room to change his dress, and
when •he crime -down be save a boy, lying dead,
Witness thinks the first cry of 4 a tight" was Mis-
taken for that of ", fire," and thereby created an
alarm.

William Reeve, Esq. one of the proprietors of
Sadler's Wells:Theatre, stated, that about a quarter
past Jen there was some disturbance at the•back of
the pit, _several persons seemed to be pushing or
shoving one another and. fighting. In about the
space•of a ,minnte, the company at the back of the
boxes were ,observed _by witness looking into„the
lobby. Something it seemed had alar.ned them,
for in a little iime some Ladies in the side boxes,
in. sight of the gallery, stood up, and, lift-
ing up their hands, cried out " Fire I Fire !"
whieli so alarmed ;almost'. each individual in the
gallery, that, every one was anxious to save himself.
Witness- observed several persona get over the,front
of the genet.), and drop down into the pit andboses.
At that instant, several persons in the pit rushed
into
.the orchestra. Witness left the orchestra,
where he had been the greater part of the night, ,
and went upon the stage. The house appeared in
tumult. He heard, atter he got on the stage, a cry
of " fire !" and ladies screaming. Witeess called
out, as loud as he could, " No fire.!" which, it did
pet appear, was heard. ..ak speaking-trumper was
,used, and every means in the power of the Mane-
gers were tried to convince the audience that the
alarm was false and groundless.
Mr. Wm. Sharp,'Surgeen, who resides in
,Isling 7
ton-phice,:being sworn, stated, that at hall-past ten,
on Thursday night, 'he came to the Theatre, having
been sent for to render assistance. lie went into
the music-room, where two persons lay dead; he
examined them; and they were very much , bruised'
abont•the body and lace, The people kept bringing
in dead bodies to the nUmber of eighteen. There
were about twelve wounded persons brought in,
• who received every assistance that possibly could
be procured. Several medical Gentlemen were pre-
sent, 'having been assembled -by the aCtivity of the
Managers, who had used every exertion to give re-
lief, to the sufferers.' Mr: Sharp was of opinion that,
the , different persons had lost their lWes by being
trampled to death.
Mr. JOhn Forrester, who keeps the Islington Spa
public-house, was told by several persons of the eon,
fusion there was at Sadler's Wells; ,in consequence
of an alarm of fire; when he came therb" he found
great outliners of persons,.,in crowds, Vint; in differ-
ent •diredions, some attempting to return to .the
Gallery, and eXclaiming against the villains who had:
spread the.alarm of fire, as there wasiro foundation
for such an outcry,' He iininediatelyWent into the:
Lobby,: and pos.:it-1g through .the Pit, jumped on the'
Stage, and' totted the Proprittof's making every:
exertion to convince the audience-that there was no.
danger. • Witness perceived two stoat men in the
Gallery, one of -them dressed smock-Crock,
and, 'he `believed with a red waistcoat, exclaiming,'
" Open the &ors," and intrclsing the alarm
amongst the people, but could not tell %Ohether it
was m with Jan- intention, of mischief or fro fright.
Witness was confident the' doors were all open,
from the great eui rent of people that came rack into
the gallery.' One of the Proprietors spoke te ,tho'
people with a trumpet, entreating them to ,keep off
the staircase) and that the gallery doors:.Were not--
shut. The people then almost unmediately' seemed
composed. .

Monday, one of the door-keepers, said, that
the doors had not tieen 'shut-daring the whoie even,
logy and eorrobbrated the foregoing evidence in al4
mast every point.

-John Fairbrother, tindertaker, of No. 33, Brown-
low-street, Dewy-taue, depoiecl, 100 wai Thur,_

day night at- the Treasury of the Theatre, when he
heard a great'imise-and•confuOon. He Went upon.
the sine to ascertain the cause, understanding it
was occasioned by an alarm of fire. Upon inquiry;
liOwever, he found the- alarns was without any
cound-sti,n. While he was on the stage, a, man
called (sot to him .from the v,allery by his. name, that
the doors w ere Out_ He Went' -round to the gallery
door, and saw three persinss- slyitig-upo'n the first
.lauding-place. When he came .to raise them,;they
were quite deal He assisted in carrying them to a
room in the .Theatre, -and afterwards in conveying
thirteen, more to the same place;
Several persons were not identified by any of their
frionds; their names were"only made known. Two
young men, in particolar, of the name of Judd and
Bland, were amongst
.those 'whose fri-ends did not
appear.

After every person had been examined who could
throw any. light upon the subje.6l—
HODGSON intimated to the Jury, that the-
friends of some of the unfortunate persons not, hav-
ing appeared, the way to prOceed, with respe& to
them, he conceived, Was tO put their names upon
their coffins, and have thorn buried. It appeared to
him, that, from the nature of the case, the unfor-
tunate sufferers came casually by their death's.- But,
he observed, if it could'be proved that it as owing
to a riot, the persons so occasioning such riot or 'dis-
turbance were guilty of a misdemeanour, and ought
to be pimished.
• The Jury returned .as their verdiEt—Died Casu-
ally, Acciir4intally.and
- - •

After the Jtiry had delivered their verdiO, the
Coroner asked, as a matter of satistaction-to‘t he Ma-
nagers and Proprietors of Sadler's Wells,„whether it
was it.eir opinion that blame could be attached to
them ? when the Jury unanimously 'were of opinion,
that the Mtmagerd and Proprietors were free.: from
any imputation of the sort, and were entitled to
great praise for the promptitude_ they dis-
played, ".in pr&curitig medical aid; and further de- ;
dared, that no exertion which the mind could sug-
gest, or humanity didate, was left 'untried by them..
Whether the persons who were kilted had been
plundered or not, We, cannot tell ; bit( if. we may
judge of their situation by the tittle property they
had about them, they were. in the loWest Class of
life. Not a watch, or other article- of value, tsla-si
foUnd upon theni. 'A single purse; one pocket-book;
and about twenty shillings in money; were all thill
was collected:
. .

This calamitous event happened • only four days
before the closemf the Theatre e ibr.the season. W 6
.understand that the Proprietors have been very.Suc.
cessful. gvery motive of 'delioacy and'of respect to
the Public), has induced them to discontinue the ex-
hibitions for the present.
