SADLER'S WELLS.

At this theatre, which was greatly crowded, a new first-
piece (which, we believe to be a translation from the
French) was produced, entitled The Iron Collar, which
had reference to the denouncement of a respectable mer-
chant (Blondel), who, it seems, thirty years before, had
escaped from the galleys, to which he had been condemned
for murder. Dumont, the person who gives him up to
the civil power, is his bosom friend, whom he had raised
from indigence, and assisted with loans of large sums of
money ; and the time chosen for the treacherous act is the
very day e.f his daughter's marriage; when, in order to
provide her with a portion, Blondel claims the sum due.
in order, therefore, to get rid of a heavy debt, as well as
to be revenged on Blondel for preferring another suitor
to his nephew, Dumont, denounces his friend and bene-
fit:tor as a felon. Much confusion, of course, ensues; the
marriage festival is interrupted, and the unfortunate mer-
chant is in the act of being dragged to the galleys at
Rochelle, when the King's pardon (granted some years
before) is found in the bureau of the informer, who had
concealed it, and it is generously brought forward by his ne-
phew, who chooses thus to evince his attachment to Blondel
and his daughter, although rejected by them as a sou-in-law
and husband. Upon these materials, a rather interesting
plot has been constructed ; but the unruly disposition of
the " gods abive," prevented us from being fully ac-
quainted with it. The performers, generally, played
well, particularly PALMER, who is a very clever and su-
perior actor. Miss FORDE and W. H. WILLIAMS were
very comic as the Colin and Cdinette of the piece ; but
we did not a little regret that the character of the former
afforded her no opportunity of exerting her musical
powers. The piece that followed, however, which was
an operetta entitled Pay to my Order, and similar to
The Chaste Salute of the Olympic, compensated in
some degree for the disappointment. Here the lady in
question sang, as she always does, divinely. Mr. HUNT
appeared to labour under a cold and boarseness,which pre-
vented him from singing as we, and himself, no doubt, could
have wished. By the bye, such being tho cane, we did
not see any particular necessity for the energy and ar-
dour with which he saluted Madame Thebeaut. The
report sounded to us more like a pistol-shot, than the kiss
of a gentleman in a state of indisposition. It was too
much of a good thing. The piece was, upon the whole,
most creditably performed, and warrants the ge-
neral opinion, that the nearest road to wealth for
the managers of this house, is to get up a series
of the best operas : they may rely on it that the musi-
cal taste of the inhabitants of the northern districts of the
metropolis is not far behind that of those at the west end.
the Pantomime which followed, under the title of
Bumpty Dumpty, was the grand feature of the evening
with the holyday folks, whose sides shook with laughter at
the grotesque appearance of the characters, and who
shouted their hearty applause of the fanciful and really
splendid scenery, as well as of the new and very curious
tricks introduced. Harlequin and Columbine were ex-
cellently played by SUTTON and Miss GRIFFITHS ; and,
indeed, the other pantomimic characters performed their
somersets and other gymnastic evolutions with an adroitness
which gave general satisfact ion ; we may instance particularly
three very clever young men, who, in a kind of clock-work
dance, gave proofs of muscular elasticity very little inferior
to that of the far famed Manumit. But if the gods and
,he yroundlings were delighted with the vagaries of Poll-
ehinello and his comrades, the few who preserve the
happy medium between earth and sky were no less so
with a most beautifully executed Panorama (painted by
Cocas) which was introduced ; in it were displayed splen-
did views of Portsmouth with its shipp:ng, the British
Channel, Forts Bathz, Lillo, and Phillippe, on the coast
of Holland, and the now so much talked of city of Ant-
werp. We had no idea that so charming a production
of art could be afforded for exhibition at a Minor Theatre
—it is really worth going ten miles to see. We trust that
as soon as the fever and excitement of the holydays are
over, the managers of this establishment will return, as we
have hinted above, to Operatic performances; in doing
which we wish them a continuance of that success in their
career which has so auspiciously marked the commence-
ment of the present season.

ANOTHER SLAUGHTER OF THE

PEOPLE.

(From the Tipperary Free Press.)

We have received a detailed account of the sanguinary
slaughter which took place near Galbally, on Friday last,
but as the investigation of the horrible affair will take
place to-day, we Shall await the re4ult, and briefly state
that, early on that day, Mr. W. O'Grady, brother to the
candidate for the county of Limerick, accompanied by Mr.
John Lowe, of Spring House, a Magistrate of this county,
and Mr. G. Gubbins of Kilrusb, arrived at Galbally for
the purpose of having some freeholders of that parish
escorted to the hustings by the military. On the appear-
ance of these gentlemen, the people of the village groaned
them, and used some opprobrious epithets. as " Riginan,"
&c., the military were then ordered out of the barrack,
when one of the Roman Catholic clergymen of the parish,
the Rev. Mr. Lilian, remonstrated with the people, and
they having promised to desist, he retired. Soon after the
gt-Iplemen before mentioned, accompanied by an officer
and •about sixteen Highlanders, were seen escorting
either an obnoxious character named Bishop, th,
son of a tithe proctor, who is, it seems, a sort
of Caleb Quotem in that neighbourhood, being clerk of
petit sessions, sexton of the parish, &c., when about
two miles from Galbally, some stones were thrown to-
wards the military. Mr. O'Grady immediately called on
Mr. Lowe to order the army to fire, which Mr. Lowe
declined to do. Mr. O'Grady then said, he would give
the order (though he was not a magistrate of the county
of Tipperary, in which the party then were); and ac-
cordingly did so—it was the work of a moment—the
military fired—two of the people were shot, one man
through the head, and the other through the body; the
former died instantly, the latter lingered until night. The
excellent parish priest, the Rev. Mr. Cormack, happened
to be attending his parochial duties near the place, and
being sent for, promptly !came, and administered to the
dying sufferer the last rites of his holy religion. Several
of the people are reported to have been wounded by the
fire of the soldiers; but neither the gentlemen, their pro-
tege, or the military, appear to have sustained the slightest
injury. The two men whom they shot were interred on
Sunday, and were accompanied to the churchyard, which
is near the barrack of Galbally, by the largest assemblage
of the people ever teen in that part of the country.
