SADLER'S WELLS.

This pleasant little theatre still continues its prosperous
career, under the able management of Z .Ir. It. Homier.
We visited it on Saturday evening, and witnessed the
performance of the new drama of Jai.:k Ketch. This
new drama, which is from the pen or '4lr. G. Alman, is
of the Jack Sheppard school, and is :illustrative of the
career of a certain John Ketch, fronathe days of hia
hiS apprenticeship to a rope-maker, viten he sees and
falls in love with the hanginan'a dauuliter, through a life
of crime as a highwayman and traitor up to the termi-
nation •of his career, when, in order b save his own
neck, he consents to become the finisLr of the law to
one of. his old associates in treason atid:piraev, a certain
Jacobite knight, known as Sir Gregoini with the Gash.
In justice to Jack, however, we shoria.' state that ho
sturdily refuses " to accept office" until it is clearly proved
to him that the said Gregory! had, in h:®
earlier days, murdered his (Jack's) father. ina
