HAYMARKET THEATRE.
A new farce, entitled The Irish Tiger, vi as produced
here on Saturday, with compete success. rt he Irish
Tiger is a certain " Maher Paddy Ryan" (Mr. Ilud'
son), who has seen in the paper an advertisement .from
Mr. Alderman Marrowfat, who is desirous of engaging
an Irish servant, and Paddy, in consequence, applies fur
the siWation, which is not only readily presented to
him, but he:is promised 6001. as wages, asked to dine with
his master, and is treated not merely as one of the
family, but infinitely better than any individual member
of it. The fact is, old Marrowfat has been seeking an
alliance for his daughter with a certain Sir Charles
Lavender, and has been informed that Sir Charles, la
order to become acquainted with the true dispositions 0'
the family into which he is about to enter, has deter-
mined to offer himself as a servant, and Paddy 14811
is accordingly taken for and treated as Sir Charles.
When the Baronet himself arrives, lie is of course kicked and cuffed, and treated as though he were the
servant. The fun goes on for half an hour, and doll
of course an eclarissement takes place. It is an *n*
ing trifle, and was capitally acted.
