SADLER'S WELLS.

Mr. Honner seems determined to back up the Panto-
mime, which is one of the best we ever witnessed, even at
this house, by a succession of novelties, and accordingly
last night, he produced a new melodrama, entitled Noraia
O'Donnell, or the Sybil of the Camp. The scene, as may be
gathered from the name. is laid in the Emerald Isle, and
the action takes place during the Irish Rebellion. The
interest of the piece turns on the adventures of Edward
O'Brien ( Cathcart), a soldier in the King's service, who
is induced by Norah O'Donnell (Mrs. R. Benner),
to desert, and take the command of the rebels
In an action with the King's troops O'Brien saves the life
of Capt. Blakely ( Elvin unde whm he a formery
served, and enables him tope scaperfrom the rebehls.d O'Brieln
himself is subsequently taken prisoner, and sentenced to be
shot as a deserter, but Blakely procures his pardon, Si hich is
brought to the Commander-in-Chief by Nora') just as the
sentence is about to be carried into execution. The
graver matter of the piece is agreeably relieved by the co-
mical misadventures of Marc Antoby Tapes, a tailor from
Tooley-street (admirably acted by Hall), who is travelling
for orders, and kis companion Handel Squall (Mr.
K. Honner), an itinerant professor of singing, who
is indefatigable in his endeavours to get up a concert. The
excellent old farce the " Sleeping Draught" followed, in
which Hall, as Popolino ; Williams, as the Doctor ; and
Miss Pincott, as the waiting-maid, kept the audience in a
continued roar, and the pantomime concluded the even-
ing's amusement. Tho house was literally crammed.
