On Saturday night was produced a two.act piece from the pc's of Mr.
Lover. The name of the •drama is The White Horse of the Peppers.
and turns on the stratagem of Gerald Pepper (Power) anilrish gentle nan
attached to James IL, whose lands are confiscated and granted to a Dutch
adherent of William 111. Mynheer comes to Ireland to take possession
of his newly acquired property, and inquire after its location; all Pepper's
tenants, as has -been planned by their landlord, fel,m ignorance of the
spot, when Pepper himselfcomes forward, disguised as a ragged bogtrotter,
and offers to guide the Dutchman to Ballygarve, the estate in question.
Ile conducts the unfortunate foreigner through acres of bog, where he
loses his horse; and leads him to an old ruined castle without a roof
makit.Q; him believe that the estate of Bally7,erve is all in this condition,
while every now and then a row is got up among the" pisantry," who give
strong hints of a desire to murder the new landlord. The Dutchmen is
at last an disguled with the property, that he reassigns it to Popper
for.a tine white horse, to supply the place of the one lost in the
bog, and is greatly edified When he subsequently learns that he has only
seen the worst part of the estate, and has Lintel with ample possessions
at so low a price. Scanty as these materials may seem, they form the
foundation of thepieee, which lasts about two hours; but which, far
• from being tedious, is a most happy, amusing, and original production,
and which may vie with any of the numerous narrative works of its
author. Ile has given the character of the light-hearted, ready-witted,
half.impudent bojtrotter, with a full joyousness and richness that
carry on the audience per forOe; and so perfectly adapted the humour
required to be pourtrayed, that the'dialogue, instead of being laboured,
is, as it were, a spontaneous overflowing of native fun and warmth. The
facetious guide is never for a moment at a loss ; scarcely a Minute passes
without his cracking a jelx, telling some " bothering" white lie, or
botching it up with another; and the agreeable accompaniment of a
continued roar of laughter followed the piece throughout. Potter was
completely at home. Mrs. Fitzwilliam as an Irish girl sang some na
tio
prettily. A loud burst of ; polarise followed the descent

Any ifttrinsie ilnportance, was very goad, mid the day would have
passed ofr pleasantly hnt for two accidents; the first arose simply
from a. sudden impulse'' in a, half-broken horse, which, in his
