CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.

We understand that this spirited management has
entered into an engagement, for a limited number of
nights, with the great African tragedian, Mr. Ira Ald-
ridge. The Vienna Times says :—" Mr. Ira Aldridge is,
without exception, the greatest European stage actor
that ever lived, not only from the powerful energy of
his representations, which fascinates and rivets your
attention, but from the beautiful intonation of his voice,
which he manages with the most artistic skit'. It is
seldom we meet with an artist who possesses the im-
mense power of declamation of 'Mr. Ira Aldridge, who
followed by his audience from scene to scene, until

it reaches the acme of enthmiasrn. The' sudden and
perfect changes from the doating to the jealous husband,
is realised in all the fondness of the one, and the rage of
the other, and we doubt whether Shakspere himself
c.)tild ever have met with a mora perfect and masterly
delineator." This engagement commences on Monday
the 12th.

ROBBING AN EMPLOVER.—Three men named Snipe,
Breilley, and Wright, were placed at the bar before the
Lord Mayor, charged with being concerned in robbing
Ur. Bower, 101, Irenchurati-street, wine, spirit, and ale
merchant, of a large quantity of goods.
It appeared from the evidence, that the prisoner
Snipe was the prosecutor's foreman, and Wright had 00.
cationally worked fur him, During the temporary ab.
eence of the prosecutor he took advantage to rob
him. O examining his cellar he found a consider-
able quantity of goods had been stolen, and from
information he received he gave the prisoner
into custody. The charge against Breilley was for
receiving some of the goods, knowing them to have been
stnlen, and against Wright for aiding and assisting Snipe
in ill-. robbery. The charge was not sufficiently strong
against Breilley, and he was discharged. The other
priSoners were committed for •rial.
