HAYMARKET THEATRE.

A sprightly new farce, entitled 'William Thompson ;
or, Which is He 7 from the pen, as we were led to un-
derstand, of Miss BO ADEN, was last night produced at
this theatre. The plot of this piece is ingenious, and
turns chiefly on the mistakes oecasipned by the same
names of the two Thompsous, personated by Mr.
ItErve, and the other by Mr. Vpittso. jioth.gentlernen
went through their respective parts with ability; but the
jwmpur and merriment were decidedly in favour of Mr.
REEV-E, without whose rich, oily, grotesque conceptions of
pprformer to greater advaii-,

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1929.

We have no arrivals from the theatre of war,
nor indeed from any other quarter ; in a few
days, however, we may expect intelligence of a
decisive character from► the East. Events are
momently pressing on to a crisis.

New South Wales Papers have been received
this morning to the 20th of April inclusive.—
Flour was 18s. to 20s. per 100 lbs., and Wheat
9s. per bushel. Maize sold at 4s. 6d, per
bushel, and Barley at ss. 6d. Hay per ton was
171., 411(.1 Straw 21. per load, These Papers
contain no news worth extracting.

Mr. OTWAY CAVE, we understand, is in a
few days to be entertained at a public dinner, at
Tipperary, on which occasion, as the Free Press
assures us; he intends to announce his determi-
nation of standing for the county on the next
vacancy. We are glad to hear of this announce,
ment. It augurs favourably both for the Ho-
nourable Member and his constituents. Young,
active, and enterprising, shrewd in detecting
public grievances, prompt—unflinching in ex-
posing them, 'and anxious only to see fair play
between the public and the Government, Mr.
OTWAY CAVE is the man of all others best
fitted to represent an extensive county like Tip-
perary. We do not approve of this gentleman's
notions of Reform ; we think them too wild, too
sweeping, more in fact to be commended for
their seal than their discretion ; but this we will
say, that the very enthusiasm which hurries him
into precipitate extremes in the one instance,
will in the other, as a Member for Tipperary,
enable him to overcome all difficulties, grapple
with all local prejudices, and see justice done to
a county, which, by the late resolutions of its
Magistrates, has been declared in a state of in-
surrection, though with what truth, in the ab-
sence of positive and impartial information on
the subject, we cannot pretend to declare.

We are sincerely happy in being 0410 to

The motives fer the journey of an
press to a frontier town, have, we are assured, heen most
grievously misrepresented. The secret treaty in agitation
will be of a matrimonial rather than of a political nature,
and the confederation which has excited so much alarm,
will terminate in an indissoluble compact between two
persons WhQ have e4cii;ed consikaraille attention by the
characters they have already enacted in the nuptial drama.
It will be borne in mind that the continental emigration

helvetic excursion of the Imperial relict.
