SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE.

Although the season be somewhat unfavourable for
theatricalA, out of town being the order of the day,
the sterling productions put upon the stage night after
night at " ihia Wells" draw torth large and enthu-
siastic audiences. On Flidav and Saturday last
Sheridan Knowles 's play of William Tell was repro-
duced, in a manner which would have commended to
the applause of the audience a piece of far inferior
merit. The caste included the elite of the company,
and the dresses and scenery were admirably got up
and arranged. Mr. Phelps personified the character
of the patriot Tell with his usual energy, talent, and
discrimination. His acting in this character is too
well known, and too highly appreciated, to admit of
criticism at this time of day. It was admirable
throughout. The other characters were sustained in
an equally creditable manner. Mr. George Bennett
did ample justice to the character of Gesler, while
Messrs. Hoskins, Mellon, A. Younge, and F.
Younge,ja ably represented the characters of Michael,
Seneschal, and Braun. The female characters
gheij
were sustained with equal talent, those of Emma,
Agnes, and Amelia, being respectively sustained by
Mrs. Archbold, Miss E. TraverA, and Miss Marston.
The performances concluded with the popular farce
of Uncle Illark, which is as popular as on the first
night of its production, although it Las now been re-
peated for some fifteen times.

The following inscription may be seen chalked upon
a wall at Bankside, in the neighbourhood of Barclay and
Perkins' brewery :

Near
This Spot,
In the arms of the Police,
And covered with Dirt,
Fell
General Iraynau,
4 Sept., 1850.
The very atones do prate his whereabout."

SUICIDE IN TUE SERPENTINE.—Yesterday morn-
ing, about six o'clock, Griffiths, one of the Royal Humane
Society men, was rowing at the east end of the Serpentine,
when he observed a small reticule basket under the wall
which supports the iron railing placed after the death of Lord
Rivers at this part of the water some years ago, and soon
after he succeeded in taking out the body of a young lady,
not above eighteen years of age, near the north shore, which
he immediately conveyed to the Humane Society's house.
All efforts to restore animation were futile, and it is supposed
she committed suicide during the night. She is about five
feet high, with brown hair and grey eyes. Round her neck
she had a silk watch guard, to which was at•ached a small
silver Geneva watch with no maker's name, but numbered
1,081. There are three small scars on the forehead, and ➢lr.
Woolley is of opinion that when a child she had dislocated
her hip, as the heel of the leir leg was shortened some inches.
A memorandum book was in her reticule, with some scraps of
poetry in a lady's hand and a pen and ink sketch of a gentle-
man. " Miss Harriet Pigeon, Bradley-street," was written
on one of the leaves.

UOYAL ARTILLERY.-- WOOLWICir, SEPT. 14.
Major Askwith's company, sth battalion, an:i Captain Cock-
burn's company, 9th battalion, under orders for Jamaica, and
detachments to fill up the companies at Barbadecs, assembled
in heavy marching order at two o'clock P.M. yesterday, and
were inspected by Colonel Cruttenden, accompanied by
Brigade-Major Bingham and the commanding officers of the
sth and 9th battalions. The gallant Colonel made a minute
inspection of the melt and their appointments, and at the con-
clusion expressed himself highly pleased with their clean and
soldier-like appearance, and wished them a pleasant voyage
and safe arrival at their respective destinations. The bag-
gage of the companies is to be sent from Woolwich on Mon-
day, the 16th instant, by railway to Portsmouth, and the
companies will leave Woolwich for Nine Elms on Tueseay
morning to proceed by the Southampton Railway for embar-
cation on board the Apollo troop-ship, at Portsmouth, that
vessel being unable to come round to Woolwich to embark
the companies here, owing to the repairs and alterations
made in her for file comfort and accommodation of the troops
she is to take out to the West India stations. The women
and children going
out with the companies were inspected on
Wednesday last at the Ordnance Hospital, to insure that
there were no eases of small-pox or other infectious diseases
amongst them.

The Duke of Richmond resumed his annual sale
of ewes and rams, from the Goodwood flock, last Tuesday,
at Chichester. The Surrey Standard says the prices ob-
tained for the ewes were very good, and that the rams sold
well.
