Sadler's Wells.
This theatre (which has bee; repaired and considerably improved in its internal appearance sinc;e list season) opened last right with a splendid exhibition of holyday entertainments. Three ' entirey new" pieces were produced fhr the Easter visitcrs-a baUet, a grand romantic mele-drama, axid a pantomime. Idt the first there was a very respectable display of the morps de ba/lt of the establish- ment. The second piece was called Ore; or.thelfrlcan Slaee. It has been already bef'ore the'public at another miror. theatre, under the title of lte ASlave's Revienge. . It'gives its- principal performers immense scope for rant, but nevertbeless posse5ses some interest. The conlusion (as far astheherooftbe piece, Cato,arunaway slave, is concerned) is vcry tragic-; but it produced last nigbt a very comic effect on the audience. By sorne mistake, the troop of grena- diers who were in pursuit of. Ceo, and who were to be the chief instruments of his death, did not co*e on in th-ir proper time, and Cato received only a couple of mortal woutnds, from pistols fired by his master. While he wasreelingabot tbe stage, apparently unde. cided whether be should Wal until he htd received a whole volley, the captain of the troop, or the prompten (we know not wbici), was heard from behind the scenes, callin oatt to the men, " WVhy don't you come forward ?" This unlucky order *as heard by the audience, and produced loud bursts of laughter, in tosnmidastofwhich poor Cato wasS obliged to fall and expire. Thegretattractionoftheevenuigwas (ras is usu al atthis season) the pantomninne; an it would appear that the proprietors wvere determined to mak>e it Ieorthyofits title, 'i Thc Eerier Offering, or }ILrkeuin's Golden e~arvest;` for they produced not fewer than three Clorvne, threeHarkq7Zidnb, three Col'rnbi nes, and' three Pes^teloons on the occasion.' Tothose iiho deEight in sucb ex- hibitions this will be found attractdve. Ir te\ecourse of its perform- ance, there wnere several practical allusions made to the cavalry regiment which has recently made so rmuch jnoise in Dublin. A contemptible coxcomb, in a dashing malitary uuXiform, was madte to represent the membsers of that highly respectablel corps. The recent anecdotes of "The Tenth don't ight-thle 'lI'enth don't dance," were not forgotten, though much lees was made df.them than might have been expected f'roml such a subject.
