ROYAL SURREY THEATRE.
Lessee, Mrs. F. Davidge, No. 1, Davidge-terrace,Kensington-road,
Surrey.
Mr. BUNN has the honour of announcing to the public at large
that, in consequ nce of the two national theatres, Drury-lane and
Covent-gar .en, of which he has for many years, jointly and severally,
had 11,. Management, having both passed into the hands of foreigners,
he has entered into an arrangement with the lessee of this theatre,
whereby he has become its sole manager, and with the view of sub-
mitting to their approbation every va:iety of attrafition, especially
all the popular productions of his recent management, he begs leave
to submit the names of many of the eminent performers who will
have the honour of appearing before them. The artistes, whose talents
have so long contributed to the public entertainment tat Drury-lane
Theatre especially), have, at the sacrifice of every consideration, con-
sideration, consented to devote their services to the furtherance of
Mr. Bunn's, and the list will altogether comprise a phalanx of names
never before attempted to be brought together in such an undertak-
ing. While the chief aim of the direction will be devoted to the ad-
vancement of English Opera by native talent, the performances will
be interspersed with every other class of entertainment, and while it
may appear almost incredible to bring together such an array of ta-
lent, with comparatively confined means, there will be no advance of
prices, but the free-list will be altogether done away with, as it would
be an insult to make any gentleman a present of 2s. to the Boxes, is.
to the Pit, and 6d. to the Gallery.
The theatre will OPEN on MONDAY NEXT, September 27, 1847,
on which occasion Miss Romer, Miss Rebecca Isaacs, Mr. W. Harri-
son, Mr. Borrani, Mr. Rafter, and Mr. H. Horncastle (all from the
Theatre Royal Drury-lane) will have the honour of making their ap-
pearance. The performances will commence with the celebrated

LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1847.

The inquest on the bodies of the unfortunate suf-
ferers who lost their lives in the shocking accident
that happened on board the Cricket steamer, on the
`_'7th of August last, has at length been brought to a
conclusion. The jury, after a patient and careful
investigation, continued during a period of four
weeks, have returned their verdict, finding that the
several parties came to their deaths by the bursting
of the boiler of the Cricket, and that HENRY Hats-
MAN, the engineer on that day, is guilty of man-
slaughter ; and they further state that " they con-
sider CLARKE (the man by whom the practice of
tying down the safety-valves was first introduced)
highly culpable, and unfit to hold the situation of
engineer ; and that Mr. SMITU'S conduct was shame-
fully negligent in not properly investigating the
complaint against CLARKE." Nothing that could
by a possibility have thrown a light upon
the subject-matter of the inquiry was omitted—
every fact of the slightest importance was adduced.
A gentleman of high scientific attainments, holding
the important situation of chief engineer and inspector'
3f machinery of the Royal Navy, was deputed by the
Government to inspect and make every necessary
experiment anti calculation, in order to test the ma-
terial of which the exploded boiler was constructed,
and to explain the principle on which it acted, the
amount of pressure per square inch that must, in all
human probability, have arisen before the explosion
eeuld have taken place, and every point on which in-
formation was desirable. The proprietors were re-
presented by an eminent Queen's Counsel, who at-
tended every sitting of the Court. The person by
whom the boat and the machinery was supplied had
also a barrister of considerable ability to watch over
his interests. Every person in any way connected
with the company were permitted to come forward
and to make their statements exculpatory of them-
selves. CLARKE and lIAISMAN were, at their own
request, sworn, and allowed to record their evidence,
although as parties implicated in the transaction, and
who might possibly have been made criminally re-
sponsible for their share in the unfortunate occur-
rence, they were not required to do so. In fact no
pains were spared by the Coroner (in justice to whom,
and that he may receive the full credit to which his
judicious, patient, and disinterested conduct, during
the whole investigation, so eminently entitle him, it
should be stated, that he will not receive any higher
remuneration for the time and labour devoted to the
, plot f r shortest and most trifling inquiry
