The members of the National Assembly con tinue to arrive from the provinces. The news of the refusal of Dom Fernando to become a candidate for the throne of Greece has arrived here. ATHENS. D. 24. The uncertainty respecting the future King of Greece causes uneaainess. _ . Acts of brigandage have been committed at Nisi, in Messena. A disordered state of things exists at Argos and Nauplia. The government is taking measures for the re-ee tablishment of order. Coroneoe, the Chief the National Guard of Athens, has shown some dissatisfaction. . It w, however, hoped that the government will be able to arrange the difficulty. TURKEY. CONSTANTDIOPLE. Dec. 25. Sir Henry Bulwer is expected to return to this city very shortly. The Greek residents at Smyrna have unani mously elected Prince Alfred as King of Greece. Intelligence received here from Athens states that the Minister for Foreign Affairs has withdrawn the resignation which he had tendered. THE RF2RERENFATION OF Toye&s.—Mr. Alfred Seymour boa issued his address to the electors of Totem and Bridgetown. He states that be is firmly attached to those great liberal principle* which have so much tended to the increase of the ...lel sal commercial welfare of this gent community. What community Mr. Seymour does not state, but, by the context, we suppose him to roam Tutees and Bridgetown. Mr. Seymour adds that he will support free trade, that he views the war in America with the deepest regret, but approves of the policy pursued by Lord Palmerston in declining to offer mediation. He is also in favour of non-intervention in other countries. He wishes to see the army and navy efficiently maintained, but also desires economy. lie is a churchman, but will vote for the abolition of church•rata . He would like the franchise to be exteeded ie peeportion to the education of the working classes. He is afloat re 'pectin( the ballot. He will give lard Palmerston a cor dial support. lastly, by way of bonne bourhe, be will. if elected, plans his time and services at the disposal of the electors for the promotion of their local interests.

Mr. Kennedy gave his entertainment ons the mop of Soothed, at the ama/1 ball, lee& Night, with great meows. MR. YATES'S The Egyptian-hall is still a popular resort fot fashionable audiences in march of amusement. Many jDdl• thous changes have bees made is the entertainment, and the indentions by Mr. Power and the description' by Mr. Yates are frequently varied, enders very warmly received. THE AG] ONINGTON), This splendid building was opened last nightly Mr. J. Russell with M. Biondi'', ands full orchestra of eighty lindulsas performers, medusted 'ay M. Malady. The mania; talents of M. Haloady an well knows. sod he bee gdvin•ua some of oar moot charming daee►musio. The perfamennees cannisted of a promenade sanest, with a solo an the cosnist, &pistons by Mr. Levy ; singing by those exoellest voralietm Mr. sad 11n. Henri Drayton, and the St. George's Chore of fifty voices ; and M. Bloodin's extraordinary feats on the high sod low rope. The building u admirably suited foe these performances, and they will doubtless be papules for several weeks. The adinimiou charge is low, and the ewe- Annuli is somewhat novel at the north end of Landau. COLOSSEUM. Here the usual liberal Christmas budget was opened before a crowd of delighted patrons. A negro enter tainment, a little majoring, tumbling, and a musical Wince Illustrated with songs and pictures, called " Christmas to the Olden rime," were given in addition to the old and favourite dioramas of London, Lisbon, and Paris, and Use other well-known attractions of the place. A comic panto mime, called " Harlequin or the Forty Thieves," suelained entirely by Mr. Weston, is very clever, "musing, sari ap propriate to the mason. The whole entertainment dorm to be well supported by holiday pleasumesekers. POLYTECHNIC. The Christmas holidays brought crowds, ita maid, to this pleasant reoeptacle for the useful and the amusing. ' Christmas trees, conjuring, and ventriloquism, eempeted vigorously with the old attractions of the place for t►efavour of the young visitors and their protectors. " Harlequin Cinderella, or the Little Glass Slipper," is the subject of the pantomime this year, musically told by that very clever buffo singer, Mr. George Buckland, and illustrated by all those Ingenious optical resources which have made these pa•tomimes so deservedly popular. Hr. J. H. Pepper, the energetic director, gives a new philosophical entertainment, called "A Strange Lecture," in which a new wed startling optical illusion is introduced. The fro distribution of toys, momenta, &c., is still • great treat for the children, and for the mothers, fathers, and nurses who scramble for them in the theatre. The place was crowded both in the morning and the evening. ART EXHIBITIONS. These admirable exhibitions were well frequented throughout the day by holiday parties and regular visitors. Mr. Burford's excellent, truthful, and instructive pianis m. in Leicester-square still maintain their attractions ; the water-colour painters, who have liberally seat in nearly 300 pictures to the German Gallery for the benefit of the Lancashire Belief Fund, were well patronised; and Mr. Leech's Gallery of Sketches at the Auction Mart, Mr. Cruikshanks' at Bieter-hall, and Mr. Frith's great picture of the "Railway Station," shown at Mesas. Leggett's in Oornhill, bad each its. circle of admirera Our old friend —Madame Tussaud—was not neglected, and the novelties which she his added to her &splay, according to her cus tom, were duly appreciated. FREE AND NATIONAL EXHIBITIONS. The British Museum, the Tower of Londou, the South Kensington Museum, St. Paul's, Westminster Abbey, with all the minor exhiketione of the same character, were crowded during the day. Guildhall had its visitors, so bad Greenwich and Chelsea hospitals ; and the Monument at ►raced a number of energetic climbers, who were boot upon seeing all London at a glance. The day being remarkably fine and mild numbers went to the Zoological Gardens, and we know of no more amusing exhibition for children than the noble collection of animals in the Regent's park. LYCEUM THZATB2.—Thia is the only theatre at the West-end which will remain closed for a week or two after Christmas, Mr. Emitter not baying been able to get possession of the house in time to make what be considers satisfactory arrangements. He proposes to open on the 10th of January, with an adaptation of a French drams. called " Le BOOM," which has bad a long nut at one of the principal Penske theatres, sad which has been done into English by Mr. Jobs Broughams. The lighter part of the mitertainmseit will be provided by Mr. William Brougli, who bas wielded a French squib called the " Quemsdoen of Women." In this slimmest's= the women will lie shows as having gained the upper hand, and the men as reduced to perform the homeliest household duties. It is doubtful, however, whether this piers will be performed before Easter.

It was followed by the new Imildhdase, entitled " Riquit with the Taft: or !min* and Mother Bhiptoo." This fairy tali Amp imie the subject of a burlesque at the Cffyinpla during the latter part of the reign of Madame Vote's at that theatre, when Mr. Charles Mathews phlYed the bump-backed lover. As may be welt knows, the story to derived from the popular fairy tale in Mother Bmich's *dilation, and the scenic embellishments are from the pencil of Mr. William Beverley. Notwithetanding that the mese of the intreductim were numerous and rather rapidly slanged, everything worked with surptidag smoothie= for a first night.

ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA. at Covent-garden consisted of "The Bohemian Girl" (minus the Brit set), to/lowed by • pantomime called " Beauty sad the Beset ; or the Gnome Quin and the (iced Fairy." The boom was crowded in every pert ; and Ini *Weedy* sm the WI et fare that doom unable to (Man amides. The audimme were not disappointed 4 and the whole performances el the evening were completely anmeedul. The minion of the first act of "The Bohemian Girl" was leis injurious than it would have bees in the case of most other operas ; for this fint act is of the =tr.. of ► prologue, and tan be left out with little detriment to the templet/sass of the stelae. It was exceediegly well performed—the young ditstaMe, Miss Hike, having gathered fresh laurels—and received as much attention and applause as if it had been the principal object of attraction. The subject of Mr. Byrotes burlesque. " Beauty and the Beset," is well known to every lover, young and old, of fairy lore. It has been brought, in some shape or other, upon every stage in Europe, and has, in particular, been the theme of three line operas—Gritry's " Zemire et Aror," our countryman Linley's "Selina and Ater," and the " Asor and Zero:re "of Spobr. The plot and chief incidents of all times operas are the same, end have been closely followed by Mr. Byron ; and the subject is so imaginative and so full of romantic interest, that it prewsves its poetry and interest even in the midst of the most extravagant bur league. . . In reganl to the mire en scene, the spectacle sosnev, deooratione, dancing, &c., we have never seen any thing MOM brilliant and beautify , in any theatre. The vast stage of Covent Garden presents facilities in this respect greater than say other home in Lon don, and these advantages, in the present instance, have been turned to the best aoconnt. Mr. W. Callcott's pictorial talents shine with all their lustre. The whole scenery is splendid ; but the final scene, in which the light el the moon gradually changes to the full effulgence of day, struck ns as being the most exquisite landscape we had ever beheld in a theatre. Nothing could be more successful than the whole performance of " Beauty and the Beast." The applause, from beginning to end, was vehement and ineement. The harlequinade which followed was ugood as such things now poerally are nowa-days. NW B. Adana was a very pretty Columbine; her movements were light sod graceful, and her dancing warn beautiful. Mr. F. Payne was Harlequin, Mr. H. Payne the Clown, and Mr. W. A. Barnes Nate loom They went through their business with unflagging vivacity, but there was little novelty or variety in their feats, and the affair was spun out to too great a length. It received, however,'Areasoaable quantum of applause; and, altogether, Miss Louisa Pyne and Mr. Harrison bare rea son to be satisfied with the success of their box;.ng-night DRURY LANE. If time and apace permitted, which they do not on a boziofpnight, a volume might be written on the subject of "Old Drury." It has been the scene of Sheridan's dramatic triumphs, of Lord Byron's attempts at manager ship, the subject or excuse for some of the devoid parodies in our language—the "Rejected Addresses "—the school for some of our immortal actors, and the goal to which every country performer once looked forward to with hope. Like every other Landon theatre is has been burnt down a given number of times, and has risen after each disaster with new beauty. Ita size must always have told against it as a pure comedy theatre, and sow that tragedy is virtually dead, we are not lorry to see it in the hands of a rranagement pledged to produce the new order of dramas. Without having been again destroyed by the " devouring element," it has almost been re constructed in its decorative part—one remove in this case having been as good—not as bad—as a lire. Mr. Edmund Falconer—the persevering and successful author of the Peep of Day, a gentleman who has as much unswerving belief in his destiny ea the Emperor Napoleon—has become its new lessee, and with very little time at his command, bat with much determination and capital, has, with the expe rienced and tasteful aid of Mr. Marsh Nelson, made it as brilliant as it is extensive. The theatre now strives to maintain its well-earned reputation for pantomime, end has produced • piece from the practised pen of Mr. L. Blanchard—we might almost call him the " veteran Blanchard"—entitled " Goody Two Shoes ; or, Harlequin Cock Robin." The story is au ingenious combination of the two immortal nursery stories. One peculiarity of this pantomime is the absence of what is called a transformation scene, its place being supplied during the comic action with • gland and elaborate view of the interior of the lntern►tional Exhibition. The great depth of the Drury-lane stage enables Mr. Falconer to give this scene—a view down the Nave—in solid perspective, and the loudest applause greeted the display of this familiar picture. HAY MARKET. An extravaganza, founded on the well-known tale of "Bantalas," written by Dr. Johnson a century ago to Lind the means of burying his mother, was the Christmas piece at the Haymarket. Whether the " budge doctor, " if he were to revisit this scene of London which he described so well, would revoke his denunciation of " paotomine and wog," and accept Mr. William Brougla's version of his tale as an exposition of that "scenic virtue" which he thought ought to be reflected from the stage, may well be doubted. Indeed, Mr. Brough admits that be has at times raised his superstructure " very wide of the foundation, " and Mr. Tilbury, who appears in the course of the piece as re presenting the philosopher of Bolt-court, very naturally objects to the introduction of characters which are not to be found in the original. The scenery, which was painted by Mr. O'Connor and Mr. Morris, was quieter than usual for extravaganza, but it was by no means deficient in merit. The house was crowded in every part. ADELPHL As regards its Christmas entertainment, the Adelphi has been accustomed of late yaw to " vary the monotony of the proceedings," as Mr. Cox says, by pre senting the public with pantomime and burlesque alter nately—pantomime one season and burleeque the nest. Having probably found each a very good thing in its way, the manager this year varies the monotony still further by treating us to both together. The result is the " Gorgeous Burlesque of George de Barnwell," with the pantomime of "Harlequin Folly in the Realms of Fancy" to follow. The so-called comic business is introduced with the usual trans formation scene, but the introduction in this case is to be regarded as a burlesque proper, and not simply an opening to the pantomime. As a whole the Christmas burlesque and pantomime at the Adslphi may be pronounced a great SWOON, and the whole arrangements reflect no small credit upon the masa. ger, and let us add, the stage manager, Mr. Phillips. The house was crammed to the ceiling by a most hilarious audience. PRINCESS'S. At this house the evening's entertainment nomi nally commenced with the drams of "'Bine Tries All," which, *visa iothe nand holiday development of the spirits of the plfsry, was a trial of the patience of all coaceraid. ST. JAMETS. This pretty little theatre was opened lint night seder the Mk aass/eseaN at Mr. Freak Matthews. No ‘..-perlrege, it was thought Dot rantl7 4l 2a tate - bmay, but in its sot &Indy • sketch was performed, in which the mends of Ritzy laud are trades ; for hew could the OZielleCilll d boxier night be met without? The piece is entitled " hair the Good," and the author is Mr. H. J. Byron. The moan is original, sad composed by M+. F. Wal lersteio. Mr. Freak Xatthewe's representation of Ow minothropkel heehaw, the montane bridepoom, sad the disgusted hesteed, wan well rendered, sod elicited much &poison. The other characters, performed by Mim Hubert and Mrs. Freak Matthews, were also well sustained, and partimbuig that of Spillekso, Gruates went boy, who was personated by Mr. Johnson, an motor new to London„ who has long filled a lee ling position in Edinburgh. The piece en put upon the Inge with much taste, and the house was well filled with a gratified audience. • STRAND. This popular little theatre, conducted with a spirit and energy that deserve every reward, is still true to its original entertainmente sod its original author. Hr. H. J. Byron, who first made his bow here as a burlesque writer, still bows as a writer of burlesque, having taken Sir Walter Soott's novel of "Ivanhoe" for his subject at this house Ws armee. A clever burlesque on the same subject was pre duc . d at the Haymarket some few years ego by the Brothers Brongh ; but that is DO reason why another writer, with a distinct style of his own, should not give ano ther version of the same story. Simultaneously with its production at the little theatre in the Strand last night, it was placed on the stage of tho Prime of Wales's theatre at Liverpool, the author taking a double interest in it, both a s writer and actor. The acting in some parts is worthy of the reputation of this theatre—in others it is not. Though the Strand still panorama the best burlesque company in London, the ranks of its performers have been weakened br one or two seam @Mae, and they have not been strengthened by one or two areeseima. Mr. Rice, a new low oomerlian at this theatre, is a very industrious, and evidently well-meaning actor, but his strength is not shown in Sir Brian de Bola Gallbert, a villain of the melodramatic school lie had evidently Do grasp of the character, and his fun was bard and uncertain. He did his part tolerably well in ,tbe singing and dancing, and that is the most we nen say of him. Mr. Jamie Rogers, r Bebooes, made the most of one of thew extravapnt female parte which he now seems doomed to perform, and convulsed the audience with his fantas.in make-up, and his singular command of countenance. Some parts of the pier have almost a pantomimic breadth of treatment, and throe he availed himself of to the error He gave his soup, too, with that dry force which makes a very little matter go a very long way. Mr. Clarke, as lame of York, had a part well suited to his reviler power of sharp, incisive acting. His make•up— always artistic—was in this case strikingly so, and the whole performance was humorous and well sustained. Mr. Turner Was rich and solid in Cedrio the Saxon. The ladies of the company have not drawn very good prises in this particular lottery—at least not good compared with the prizes in some previous burlesques by the same author. Miss Charlotte Saunders did the most for the part of Ivanhoe, and gained an ancore for one of her clever dances. Mies Ada Swanborongh made a charming-looking Rowena, and acted with much spirit, while Miss Fanny Josephs, Miss Raton, and Miss Fanny Hughes, having little more to do than to look pretty, looked as pretty as possible. Miss Polly Marshall, who played the part of Wombs, the jester, has a round laughing face, sings nicely, and is lively in her acting. She had the best part in the piece amongst the ladies, and she filled it very creditably. The burlesque was put upon the stage with care and com pleteness, and the music was well arranged and selected. The house was crowded in every part. OLYMPIC. One of the old Nottinghamshire ballads, recount• log ,aeme of the daring deeds, dangers, and hairbreadth escapes of the hero of Sherwood Forest, bas furnished Mr. F. O. Burnand with materials for a very clever burlesque, which forms the special Christmas attraction at this house. Of course the original story is treated with more than an author's license ; but no one is likely to complain of that, seeing that the result is to produce that which is the only object of this class of dramatic writing, viz., the exag gerated absurd. The scenery is by Mr. Telbin and Mr. Denson, the last-named gentleman being the painter of the wind-up scene, which is es usual resplendent with gold, flowers, and fairies, in every variety of combination, and rendered almost painfully brilliant by the aid of fire of every hue. The music, which is of course a prominent and interesting feature, is arranged by Mr. Tully. WESTMINSTER (LATE ASTLETS). The merits of Mr. Boucicault's remodelled theatre improve upon acquainteece. The house is long rather than broad, but the slightest sound on the stage can be beard at the back of the gallery. The upper part of the audience portion—the balcony, boxes, and gallery—risee in three noble steps one above the other, adding to the effect of the house, and securing the comfort of the audi ence. The model which we believe Mr. Boucicault has copied is the chief theatre in New Orleans. The building is well situated for the West-end, as the new bridge forms • splendid thoroughfare to Belgravia, which is not • mile distant. The pantomime prepared by Mr. Bench:salt for his Christmas entertainment is the first return made for thirty years to the old style of pantomime, the story of the open ing being largely told by action. It is called Ladybird; or, Harlequin Lord Dandreary, and deals with some novel passages in the life of that popular nobleman. The home was crowded to overflowing in every part a few minutes after the doors ware opened, and Mr. Boucicault apologised to these who had lost some of their reserved seats through the unscrupulous eagerness of the first corners. The farce of " Parents and Guardians" wits played before the pantomime. SADLER'S WELLS. The reputation of " The \Vella" for histrionic legitimacy is so well-established that no one will be our. prised to learn that the manager selected " George Barn well" for his opening pieoe yesterday—a piece, "The ex cellent moral lemon to youth conveyed by the represeata tion" of which—we are quoting the bill—" has kept it be fore the public for one hundred years. and entitled it to • place in the Standard Drama." Lino's once famous tragedy has, nevertheless, been so loag out of fashion that, exempt to the dwellers in Islington, ita performance must have been • real novelty. While the pit sad boxes last night notated to ita melancholy fable with rapt attention, and resented with a lime hiss any " cut " of unusual severity, the critic lounging in the boxes must have found it full of the broadest burlesque—burlesque so broad as to reader it a real matter for wonder bow it could ever have acquired the I character of • serious drama.

" Edward the Black Prince ; or, Harlequin and the Magic Feathers," is the IMMO of the gmnd historical pan. tomime with which the new lames, Mews. Frampton and F. Festal, iiiangtuated their first managerial campaign. The story, which has been invented and written by Mr. F. Fenton and Mr. R.

As a =Ow el soars% it has been perverted for pantomime paws& Gilt/SCUM Mr. G. Conquest and Mr. M. Suter have jointly supplied this house with an excellent pantomime, called Harlequin Number Nip; or, the Spider and the Fly. Mr. Conquest b as smotoplished and humorous pantomimist, and he plays the chief part in the opening. BRITANNIA. The manager of this noble tbeatre--which Is one of the Sneet buil.Engs in London--bas spared no expense to give his patrons a treat worthy of the imam. The panto mime is called "Abe* Hansa, the Sleeper al Bagdad; cc the Fairy Elves of the Eechasted Mosque." It le placed upon the stage with great magnificence ; a grand Oriental ballet is introduced ; and the transformation scene is very gorgeous. Mrs. S.

The pantomime at this theatre is called "Cherry arid Fair fear ; or, iterisquin and the Damen Waters, the Singing Apple, and the Little Green Talking Bird." Miss Father Jacobs plays the part of Cherry in the opening, and sings in her beet style. She is supported by an excellent working company. The scenery is very splendid. The ballet scene repreeente an aquarium grotto ; and the elabo rate transformation scene combine* all the well-known mechanical and human effects firstintrodoced in the Lyceum extravaganzas by the late Madame Vestris. The comic' , businen is snstained by Miss Emma Home, as Columbine ; Mr. Arthur Roby, as Harlequin ; Mr. Gardener Bolero, as Clown ; and Mr. F. B. Bolero, as Pantaloon. The Etoile family—five in number—assist as Sprites. The musical accompaniments reflect great audit upon Mr. G. Chapman, jun. ; and Mr. William Gowrie may be complimented on the scenery, which is nch and effective. It is almost needless to my that the house was filled to suffocation. CITY OF LONDON. " Harlequin Sings Song of Sixpence; or Pocket Fall of Bye, Fourand-twenty Blackbirds Baked he a Pie," is the title of Mr. Nana Lee's pantomime at this theatre.
