London, August 10.  On Thursday night a man intoxicated with
liquor was so elated with the performance of Columbine at
Sadler's Well's, that he, after expressing the greatest
admiration in the most vociferous terms, jumped from the top
of the balcony to the stage, where he broke his arm, and
terribly bruised one of the musicians, on whom he fell; he
was immediately taken care of by Mr. King's people, and
carried to a neighbouring surgeon's.
