THE EXPIiESS, MONDAY EVNNIIO3I, APRIL 25, 1864: SHAKESPEARE TERCENTENARY. Till STRATFORD FXSTIVAL. VOW OM lIMOIAL 00111115PONDIXT.) BnATIORD-ON-AVON, SWITIIDAT Mawr. late to-day carriages come rolling in by every approach to the town, and the conventional lions sae extensively patted and patronised. Shake ”mus's holies (the custodian of which is a lady pis discharges her trust is the most unobtrusive, albeit perfectly intelligent way), the adjacent zaneenm, with its old sign of the Falcon, its tlocu meats having mention of the poet's name, its pipes dug up from New Place, and through which, pen ally, the poet " drank" tobacco, and its other intim ; the tavern wherein be quaffed and made marry ; the school-hones whither he crept, " satchel whack the church (the clerk of which is also a sin gularly agreeable cicerone), with its vault stone and the world-known inscription, its statue (the garish colouring pleasantly toning down), its font of the period, and its other Shakespearian memorabilia, were all numerously visited. The principal streets of the town have garlands of laurel on their walls, and flags wave from heavy brown gabled, small paned lattice-windowed houses, as well as from others of more modern mould, and if some of such flags bear no distinct relation to Shakespeare, others again have his scutcheon blazoned thereupon, and all are unfurled with but one object, that of doing honour to his memory. At the chief hotel, a monster union jack, a tricolour, and a Shakespeare flag hung side by side, until its landlord learnt this morning that the Paris Tercentenary Festival bad been pro hibited, when with an ardour which will endear bite to many readers he gave peremptory orders to have the French flag taken down, as if to stoutly say to a certain government "the discourtesy you teach me I will execute ; and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction." Shortly before two p.m., in the centre of the High-street, and in the bright ens-light, with vehicles pasting to and fro, with the pavement thronged with gaily dressed wayfarers, with the shops open, and with every sign and symbol of active busy life going on around, our eyes are dazzled by a gorgeous apparition. It looks neither to the right nor left, but waves graciously a huge baton as it sails in dignified silence and with a ponderous grace in the direction of the vicar's house. What seemed to be its coat was of a bright scarlet, its breeches olive green velvet, its stockings silken, its bat cocked and gold laced, and its shoes silver buckled and bright—a looker-on assured us that he only convinced himself that this "thing of beauty," and consequent " joy for ever," was mortal, by narrowly inspecting it from the front. On doing this he failed to see, what Scrooge remarked on looking through Marley ' s ghost in the " Christmas Carol, "the two buttons on is coat behind." Our apparition repudiated transparency with disdain. In truth it was of a substantial mould, and when a polite committee-man replied to a tremulous in quirer as to its meaning, by the single word "Beadle !" he had for response a " Prodigious !" worthy of Dominie Sampson himself. Soon after the appearance of this great creature, his Excellency the Earl of Carlisle arrived with Lord Leigh, Lord Houghton, and the Archbishop of Dublin, in a car riage and four, and proceeded at once to the exhi bition of pictures and drawings in the Town-hall. Here lie was met by the Mayor and the Vicar of Stratford and the other members of the Tercentenary Committee, as well as by a select number of the guests. A cursory inspection of these pictures—a detailed account of which must be deferred—and a procession is formed, not, as many people seemed to expect, up to Shakespeare's house, or to inspect any site, but to the Pavilion. The volunteers with their band led the way, the mayor in his robes of office, the vicar, and the members of the committee with their blue ribbons looking marvellously like orders of the Garter, and other gentlemen, drew up the rear, and the procession then marched along the High-street and through the " Old Town," to the dinner table. Nearly every one in the streets wore a decoration of some kind, a sort of shamrock leaved rosette, with a portrait of Shakespeare in each division, and of any colour chosen by the wearer, being the most popular. Here and there you saw a veteran whose faded ribbon contrasted strangely with the brighter hues around, and learnt that this was one of the few remaining badges from the festival of 1827, and in one instance one was shown which claimed to be of Garrick's time, and to have been in the possessor's family since 1769. The ermine of a visiting mayor contrasted well with the scarlet robe of the Lord Mayor of York, though the brilliance of the latter was somewhat dimmed by the contiguity of the radiant beadle before named, who waves his staff of office—a kind of Brobdiguagnian walking-stick with a huge brass knob at the top—to and fro, regardless of time, and with a placid contempt for the efforts of the band, which is in itself irrepressibly fascinating. At the corner of the road leading to the pavilion an un wholesome looking young man held aloft a wooden board, bearing a quasi religious inscription, at the same time ostentatiously distributing tracts to the passers by. It is superfluous to add that neither the inscription nor the tracts bore the slightest relevancy to the occasion which had brought them forth. Once in the ball, the attention was arrested by some handsome bronze statuettes, lent for the occasion, as table ornaments, by Messrs. Howell and James. The memorial bust of Shakespeare, by Mr. Felix Miller, the statuette of Ophelia distributing flowers, and the figures of Romeo and Juliet, from the designs of M. Carrier were especially admired. These and other works of art form one of the exhibitions which are to be opened during the week. Lord Carlisle took the chair amid the cheers of the gentlemen, and the white handkerchief-fluttering of the ladies, and some of the more notable guests were seated with him at the high table opposite the stage in the fol lowing order : Os the right of the chairman were the Archbishop of Dublin. the Bishop of St. Andrews, the Vicar of Stratford, the Mayor or Stratford. Lord Houghton, Lord Wrottesley, Bee. F. Ponsontsy. Sir L. Palk, Sir E. Wilmot, Mr. Cm. wick, Mr. E. A. Cooke, ILA., Dr. Stephen Ward, Pro lessor Lastest, and Dr. Brockhans ; on his left, Lord Leigh, the Earl of Shreershery, Lord Lptalton, Hight How. C. B. Adderley. t3irJ. B. East, Hoe. F. Brow. Lord Mayor of York, Hoe. E. Chaodos Leigh, the Rev. and Hos. J. Wit, Sir W. Fraser, Bart., M.P., C. M. Caldecott, Sir A. H. Elton, Sir Michael S. Stewart, Gwent !Leslie, Mr. J. C. Ewart, M.P., and Mr. F. Baldwin. That there are some people in the world who have a disinterested love for post-prandial oratory may be iuferred from the fact that the five-shilling seate (for mere looking on) were fairly filled by occupants of both sexes, and though, with the excep tion of Mr. Creewick, we failed to see any very distinguished member of the theatrical profession present, though literature was not largely repre sented, and though representative men generally were decidedly in the minority, still if numbers, if eloquence, if sympathy with the subject, and appre ciation for its exponesta, if euthusiasio, if unani mity. if heartiness, or if all combined, constitute a success, 'float assuredly the inauguration banquet of the Stratford Tercentenary was successful. The room itself looked charming, and though it would be ridiculous toasted that it was crammed to reple tion it was fairly filled from the raised table at one enteto the furthest portion of the stage at the other, and as the tables on such stage bad since the preceding evening been increased from three to five, the inference is that the demand for tickets had fully equalled the expectations of the committee. Mr. Rain Friswell, Mr. Alfred Mellon, Mr. Robert Chambers, and Mr. Martin Tupper were amongst the guests. The Earl of Carlisle, in the dress cost and light trousers which his lordship especially affects, looked exactly like the lithograph published in Yorkshire some dozen years ago, save that in place of the elabo rately flowered long cravat therein portrayed he yesterday wore the blue ribbou of a knight of the garter over his white waistcoat. The quotations in the speeches proposing the healths of her Majesty and of the Prince and Princess of Wales were es pecially happy; while the words "for if we come to that, who ,ZIPI b., deemed worthy to speak in behalf of Shakespeare," were the signal for a loud and prolonged burst of cheering. After the grace had been sung by the local choir, aided or led by the Rev. W. Morton, curate of Stratford, the Chairman peepered " The Queen." The local choir then sang "God save the Queen." "The Prince and Princess of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family," was drunk with enthusiasm, and was followed by the song, " God Bless the Prince of Wales." The Chairman again rose and proposed the toast of the evening. Sir L Palk gave "the Health of the Archbishops, the Bishops, and the Clergy;" the Archbishop of Dublin returned thanks. The Hon. F. Byng then proposed " The Army, Navy, Yeomanry, and Vo lunteers ;" General Ainslie returned thanks for the army, and the Earl of Shaftesbury for the navy. Sir W. Fraser proposed " The Drama," but from the distance he stood from the members of the press it I was impossible to catch more than the substance of what he said. He stated that his earliest recollections were those of the theatre, and that however the sentimental might dwell on the beautiful smell of the honeysuckle, to him that was nothing compared to the smell of orange peel in a theatre. His experience of Euri pidea and Terence only brought to his mind painful recollections, and he never oould understand why the chorus should be introduced to fill up the gape in the Greek plays. Bat our English drama, and especially the plays of Shakespeare, were • source of joy to him at all times, and P.acine, Moliere, and Corneille were nothing to him. Of Mr. Creewick's elocution in delivering his speech, it is impossible to speak too highly. Free from all exaggeration, it was a manly and evidently sincere expression of feeling throughout, and was vehemently ap plauded. It was striking eight as Lord Leigh and Lord Carlisle drove by the illuminated clock of the market house, and the banquet commenced punc tually at three, thus lasting almost five hours. Soon after nine a display of fireworks took place in the Warwick-road, the indefatigable Volunteer band playing meanwhile. The fireworks were well enough, but the popular mind had some difficulty in fitting in the various phases of pyrotechny with the printed programme, and the precise difference between " a grand circumfuse wheel," "a concentric circle wheel, and a "bisecting vertical wheel," are yet open questions to many of the most painstaking students of last night. The grand concluding piece, made expressly for the occasion " the vision of Shakespeare, seemed to be a port rait of the poet, encircled with the cut glass devices which Mr. Poole's illuminations have made so popular, but a malig nant gust of wind blew the smoke between it and the grand stand soon after ignition, and the result was that the grand coup de feu fell co.nparatively fiat. The proceedings terminated shortly before eleven. We have had a bright sun and • cloudless sky throughout the day. SUNDAT Moairnea. The morning was dull and cold up to noon, with a wind which spoke ominously of rain, and the sun shone for the first time at the moment of the Arch bishop of Dublin entering the pulpit of Holy Trinity Church. Every seat was occupied, the approaches and a great portion of the different sialee were filled with people who patiently stood throughout the service ; the porch, the quaint little chamber behind the organ, with its loaves for the • .or, its drums and triangle, its unused flues, its • • rds and ropes speaking with solemn eloquence of the sexton's last office, its damp-covered tablets, and its gaudy in memoriam to a long departed Georgina lief, all mingled in a strange medley, had its quantum of occupants ' • the paths, the grassy mounds, the gravestones of the churchyards, had all their little groups of sitters, whilst stray volunteers in a uniform closely resembling that of the Civil Service regiment, but with a Shakespeare medal on their breasts, much handsomer and quite as martial-looking as the Victoria Cross, and numbers of the county police, were scattered here and there about the ground. There was a full choral service, the whole duty up to the sermon, with the exception of the Epistle, read by the Bishop of St. Andrew's, was read by the Vicar of Stratford, whose voice was distinctly audible at the extreme end of the long church, and by Mr. Morton. It was nearly one o'clock when Dr. Trench commenced his excellent sermon, of which we have no room for even an abridgment. If it be asked whether this festival has been inau gurated successfully, we unhesitatingly answer in the affirmative. There are not the crowds of spec tators which some people expected, and no one need be deterred from coming from fear of not obtaining comfortable accommodation. Plenty of beds are still to let, and more than ade quate provisions for any probable influx during the coming week has been made at nearly all the hotels ; but the weather is now, and was yesterday, lovely, and Stratford is as enthu siastic and energetic, u it is sanguine and unself ish. The programme has been! arranged with in finite care, the arrangements for the comfort of visitors are on no small or niggardly scale, and it will be the fault of England if England does not make an effort to be adequately represented during the next six days. An elaborate history of the Tercentenary Celebration is in course of prepa ratiou by Mr. Robert Hunter, who was for six months secretary to the committee here. P.S. The sermon this afternoon was preached by Dr. Wordsworth, Bishop of St. Andrew's, who took for his text, 10th verse 146th ' All thy works praise thee, oh Lord, and thy saints give thanks to thee." Full choral service was again performed, and the church was as full as in t,e morning. _ _ THE WORKING MEN'S DEMONSTRATION. It was originally intended that the demonstra tion of the working classes in honour of Shakespeare should take place in Hyde-park. But the applica tion made to Mr. Cowper, the Chief Commissioner of Public Works, for the use of the park for this purpose, having been unsuccessful, the Working Men's Shakespeare Committee resolved to cele brate the day by the planting of an oak on Primrose hill. It was part of the programme for the day that a grand procession should be formed in Russell-square, and march thence to Primrose-hill. The time for the formation of the procession was fixed at one o'clock, but at that hour there was not the smallest semblance of a procession, and only a few persons had assembled in the square. It was close upon two o'clock before the procession wra ready to start, but it was altogether so beggarly au affair that it would have been much better if it had been entirely omitted. Some half-dozen banners, probably 1511 " processionista" in out landish costume, and about thirty-six charity boys and girls carrying little white flags with the name of Shakespeare's plays inscribed on them, consti tuted the procession proper. The affair would have been better managed in any small provincial town; and instead of contributing in any way to the apotheosis of Shakespeare, it served only as matter for the jeers and jests of the spectators. The poet was even made, in one of the flags carried in the procession, the author of Crinberline. The whole procession was in bad taste, and seemed to have been got up without the least order or care. The appearance on Primrose-bill was more creditable. Here at least a large concourse of people were assembled. From the crown of the hill to its base on the southern side there was • living ' moving multitude which was in itself a spectacle worth seeing. How many of them came there for the purpose of celebrating the Tercentenary of I Shakespeare it would be difficult to say. Certainly not one in • hundred could participate in the planting of the oak, hear the ode or the speeches ; but as there were hundreds of amusement-vendors on various spots of the bill, each surrounded by his group of admirers and customers, the " mutable many" did not appear to feel greatly the loss of the intellectual entertainment connected with the Shakespeare tree. The oak which was planted on Saturday, and named the Shakespeare Oak, was presented by Mr. Cowper, on behalf of her Majesty. The Chief Commissioner of Works himself selected the tree from the plantation on the eastern side of Primrose hill, where it has been in a state of progressive and satisfactory growth for the last 16 years. It was about four years old wken placed in the plantation, so that it is very nearly "of age" at present. It was extracted, root and branch, in about four tons of its original mould, and conveyed to the spot in tended for the ceremony with the greatest care, so that if properly protected from icououlastio hands, there is every prospect of its "`rowing sate a giant tree." The site selected for the oak is on the south eastern slope of the bill near the base, about 100 feet on the west side of the broad path which crosses from the outer circle of Regent's-park, at the end of Ormond-teams. Two circles were drawn around this site for the purpose of keeping order during the ceremonial—the outer one being fenced with iron, the inner with rope*, and a charge of one shilling was made for entrance. A small platform was raised on the south side of the tree from which the speakers were to deliver their ad dressee. Amongst those present in the inner circle were Mr. B. Webster, Mr. Westland Marston, Mr. Horace Wigan, Mr. Toole, Mr. Bayle Bernard, Mr. G. L. Banks, who wrote a songentitled " Eng land's Minstrel King" for the occasion, and some of the members of the Shakespaar Tercentenary and Working Men's Shakespeare's Committees. Miss Eliza Cook, who composed the Teroentenary Ode, was prevented by indisposition from being present, but in a letter, in which she expressed her regret at not being able to attend, she said she would be at the celebration in spirit. The appearance of Mr. Phelps, who was selected by the Working Men's Committee as the most appropriate person for planting the oak, was hailed with loud cheers. A delay of near an hour was occasioned by the non-a.-rival of the pro cession at the time fixed, but the assemblage was entertained by the music of the Hon. Artillery Company's Band, who played selections from Masaniello, Midsummer Night's Dream, Merry Wives of Windsor, and when the ceremony of the day was about to commence, " The Brave Old Oak," and " England's Minstrel King," the music of which was composed by Macfarren. The oak was planted by Mr. Phelps, and Mrs. Banks. in the absence of Miss Eliza Cook, pee -1 formed the baptismal ceremony. Mr. Henry Mars ton then ascended the platform, and recited an ode written for the occasion by Miss Eliza Cook. The proceedings were brought to a close by the band playing the "National Anthem." apartment is placed s See composition in relievo, by Mr. Lough, representing the apotheosis of Shakespeare, sod with Deena from his playa. In the centre of the Court an. a few objects of interest connected with Shakespeare, co pies of the First four Folios, some of the most interesting the Quarks sod other volumes lent by Mr. Lilly ; else co pies of the recent reproductions of the First Folio— that by Mr. Staunton and Menem Doty in photo-lithography ; and that of Mr. Booth in type. Bonniest' exhibiting the arms of the poet (supplied by Mesas.

The idea which it has been endeavoured to keep in mind at the Crystal Palace is to represent first the humble origin of the Poet, illustrated by the reproduction of the house ; thee his genius, as ex emplified by quotation. from wall-known perigee is his plays ; lutly, the recognition of hie genius, illustrated by the copy of the bust from Stratford Church, and the most famous and recent edition of his works. The priocipal attraction of the af tarnoon was noquestion ably the Shakespearian ocinoert got up in honour of the ocosaion by Mr. A. Hanna and Mr. H. Leslie. This 000- oert took place in front of Shakespeare's house, sod was greeted with the applause of as audience consisting of several thousand persona. Mr. H. Leslie's choir of 120 voices were engaged for the occasion, and sang with great argot the well-known glee from the Mid summer Night's Dream, "Ye spotted snakes with double tongue" (Spofforth), and also a part song by Hay, " It was • lover sad his lam" Mr. Onminiap was deservedly ap plauded for the sweetness and taste with which he rendered the musk of Dr. Arse's " Hods the greenwood tree," from der You Like It, and Madame Parepa, who appeared in excelleat health and spirits nag Bishop's difficult aria, "Bid me discourse," in a manner which brought down thunders of applause sad an enthusiastic encore. What may be termed the first part:of the concert wound up with • madriplian chorus by Mr. Leslie, the words of which we give : Soul of the age ! The applause, delight, the wonder of cm/stage, 0 Shakespeare rise ! Thonart a monument without • tomb, And art alive still, while thy book doth live, And we have wits to read and praise to gias. Triumph, 0 Britain ! thou heat one to show To whom all scenes of Europe homage owe. He was not of an age, but frail time. Sweet Swan of Avon. Just at the conclusion of the chorus, the audience were really startled by Nosing what to all appearance was the veritable ghost of Shakespeare emerge from his house and bow to the audience. The apparition turned out to be Mr. Arthur Young, whose features bear an extraordinary re semblance to the most extensively known portraits of Shakespeare, and who was got up with the most marvellous skill in the well-known tight fitting costume of black velvet. As he stood before the audience, for some minutes it was difficult to believe that the poet himself was not before you. Mr. Young gave an excellent recit►tion of the in centatioo scene from Macbeth, and subsequently the dialogue preceding the battle between Macduff sod Macbeth- In the wood part of the oosoert Mr. Cummiep Nang "Blow, blow, thou winter wind" (Dr. Arse) with great feeling, and received an encore, and Madame Pampa sang the fine stanza from The Merry Wires of Windsor, " Evan as the son with purple-coloured face" (Horn). while the choir for their part gave "Crabbed age and youth," a glee by Stevens, for male voices., "The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces," glee firm The Tempest, followed by Shield's well-known and beautiful trio for female voices, "0, happy fair." Mendelseohn's " Wedding March" by the bend concluded one of the moat pleasing concerts which we have been privileged to listen to. Before separating, the chorus sang the National Anthem with admirable effect. A grand concert of Shakespearian music by the baud on the Handel orchestra, and a performance also of Shakespearian music on the great organ concluded the festival. SPORTING INTELLIGBNCE. THE NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. TO TEI BMUS OF TEI ELPISIS. only one race per day for the public to take any interest in, the programme of the Newmarket First Spring Nesting as distinctly shows they are not catered for, as does the recent crusade spinet the press that they are not oared for ; and to three sot immediately interested in the forty minor events (of which two dozen, yet to aloes, are got up solely for gambling purposes), the five days' proceedings will be slow indeed 4 takes as a whole, the amount of ioduence they will have upon the Derby being limited, as even should Copenhagen, Geasia Peel, or Paris win the Two Thousand, there will be no peed advanced that SoottishChiet, Birchbroom.Cambumn i Ely, Prince Arthur, First Flight, Coast Guard, Baragah, Blair Athol, and Forager are any worse off. The results of the meeting will, in tack leave the Derby quite an epee race, not one of the above-mentioned being likely to show.

Holly's; Claremont, Miner, and Lome don, are all amid to have been tried and found waning ; and the performanoes of Outlaw, the Caliste colt, and Acolyte at the late Craven Meeti ng were only moderate. Thus, this lot may be almost considered out of cant, although it is averred both Hollyfox and Claremont were asked to do too much, and the issue is supposed to rest entirely between the first sight is the above list. Of those, Copenhagen and Balonock have sever been in public yet ; and General Peel met each a moderate op ponent in his only encounter that his pretensions are also dark : while Plead, Knight of Snowdon, and Sir Roger, but moderate horses last year, claim attention on somas% of having so vastly improved during the winWr. This we have had an opportunity of judging of with regard to Planet and Sir Roger, who acquitted themselves with all credit at the late Craven Meeting, but met horses of too moderato a stamp for any idea to be formed whether they are mpable of contending with Hot-class performers like Fills de l'Air and Paris. When handicapping the chief two-, ear-old performers of last seams, the most I could do for Planet was to give him Get 111 b, when Paris had Sat 71b. and File de l'Air Set 41b ; and thug, if he his improved a stone more than this pair, they IWO still bound to bold him safe. Sir Roger is as difficult to measure as are Copen hagen, General Peel, sod Balarnock, but the market indi cations will allow of mygiving the preference of the " dark" lot to Copenhagen a nd Peel, and they also show that their respective friends deem them good enough to beat such " public form" aa was displayed last year by Paris and Fills de l'Air. And yet both these latter did such bril liant things that it would be impolitic to steed against them, when report speaks so highly of their condition and health so that, despite the money heaped upon Copenhagen, I cannot but entertain the impression that if Fills de l'Air (the Blink Bonny of last season, and perhaps the C. ucifix of this) is to be beaten it can only be dams by Paris. On Wednesday, the Two-Year Old Plato, Ave furlongs, may bring together the largest field of the week, the pro mising Grappler, Pirate, and His Royal Highness, with the penalised Brioche, and Amber, all being worthy of respect ; and the dark lot, of which 11 Re Galantuomo, the Star Verderer, and Silverlocks are all highly commended, will have a difficulty in getting over Amber, if she is to represent Baron Rothschild instead of Silverlooks, the selected of the stable, coupled with the Star, being most likely to furnish the winner. - Inr(sl;e Thousand Guineas Stakes, for three.year old fillies, wiU keep • great number of the mend visitors over Thursday, for it promisee an snorting encounter between most of the followum : Ridden by Ridden by Masquerade....

DRURY•LAN& The performances at this house on Saturday wars for the benefit of the Loudon Monument Fund, and in addition to the successful Shakespearian revival of Henry the Fourth, a scene from Twelfth Night wee given, and • pleasant mask, written by Mr. Edmund Falconer, called The Fairies' Festival. This timely little sketch is merely • vehicle for this introduction of a number of songs and &aces, and the chief characters are Oberon (Mies F.. Falconer), (Milli Roes Lecleroq), and Puck (Mader Percy Roselle). The scene is laid in the Forest of Arden. The dames are cleverly arranged, and the mop and con. muted piece were well sung by Mir Poole, Miss Edith Wynne, and Mr. Swift. Master Roselle's representation of Pack was remarkable for paint, spirit, and distinctness, and all the self-possession of an old actor. The mask ends with • slight transformation same, in which • statue of the poet forms the centre-pieess. The house was far from being crowded. HAYMARKET. On the outward walls of this the►tre on Saturday evening the display of the word "Shakespeare" picked out in coloured lamp announced a spacial observance of the day. Within, a performance of one of the plays of the poet which was best suited to the resources of the theatre, was the fitting tribute to the ocession. The comedy of Twelfth Right is almost one of the stock pieces of the Hay market ; and the Sir Andrew Aguecheek of Mr. Buck stone and the Clown of Mr. Compton are performances familiar to the play/ring public. ADELPHL The performances at this theatre on Saturday evening were given in aid both of the fluids for the National Moeument to Shakespeare, and of Mr. Webster's proposed Shakespeare Foundation school in =maxim with the Dramatic College. No play, or scene from a play of Shake speare was selected for the occasion, the management prefer ring to give a Shakesperian flavour to the evening's entertain. meet by the production of en apropos sketch called Shake. *eases House, introducing a diorama illustrative of the poet's life and works, painted expreeely for the occasion by Messrs. Denson nod Sons. The sketch, which is, we believe, from the pm of Mr. Stirling Coy**, was originally produced some years since on the 00:1111100 of a startling anoouncement which then appeared in the newspapers to the effect that the home at Stratford-on-Avon in which Shakespeare was born wee to be sold by public auction. PRINCEEIBI. At this establishment a Shakespearian piece, the Comedy of Errors, wee already in possession of the stage ; but in honour of the Tercentenary, it was reinforced by selections from As You Like It and the Nercitant of Venice. OLYMPIC. Taming of the Shrew was repeated at this house on Saturday with the emu east u the one we noticed on Tuesday. STRAND. The Moony Scene from Romeo and Juliet, and the Fifth Act of the Midsummer's Niyht's Dream were performed at this theatre on Saturday. SURREY. A bold revival of Henry the Sixth—a piece which bee slumbered in the closet for many geoerations—formed the Shakespearian feast at this theatre. The play bas been put upon the stage with much attention to detail, and with a liberal allowance of so. peroumeraries, but several liberties have bun takes with the tut. To make a good part of the Duke of York. Warwick bas been robbed of many speeches and actions, and after performing this coucrete character, Mr. Anderson "doubles" it with Jack Cade. The revival was Tay well received on Saturday, and it promises to bold its place for some time in the bills. On Thursday peek we believe, it will be given for the benefit of the London Monument Fund. SADLER'S WELLS. The Winter's Tale, with Mr. G. V. Brooke and Mint Marriott as Leoates and Ilannione, formed , the chief attraction at this house. MARYLEBONE. The Shakespearian selections at this district theatre remitted of Romeo and Joliet, the third set of Othello, the fifth sot of Maeooth, aad Ketterver and Petruchto. AORTCULTUBAL HALL. On Saturday the three days' "Jubilee" at tb3 Agricultural Hall, ie honour of Shakespears'a Tercentenary. wail brought to what may be considered a triumphant due. The Hall wan by no means packed with so large a crowd u might be anticipated from the quality wed variety of the entertainment and the moderate price of admission, but stilt the audience was unateroos and enthusiastic. The Hall was hung with crimson banner', on which were inscribed the titles of Shakespeare's plays. Very conspicuous and very well frequented were the representations of the famous old taverns, the " Boar's Head" and the "Tabard Inn" on each side of the hall; sod although the character of the commemoration did not go so far as to extend to a supply of the Shakespearian wines, frialmuy, Canary, or sack, there was a demand for " th►t iocom. parable drink, bitter hut," which was quite worthy of the old hostelries. Sentences called from Shakespeare's works were displayed along the galleries. The Programme of the seeping war divided into two parts, and consisted almost entirely of the music of Stephens, Arne, &shop, Locke, kn., married to Shakespeare's immortal TOM. CRYSTAL PALACE. The celebration of the Shakespeare Tercentenary oa Saturday last at the Crystal Palace pared off with great soccer ; the principal object of attraction was unquestioembly the admirable facsimilv, produced by Mr. E. T. Parris, of Shakespeare's house at Strut. foritca-Avoa. We fully described this work of art on Saturday, and therefore it is uneeoessary to reproduce the deseriptice her,. It is sufficient to as, that it brings vividly and actually before such of the waiters of the palace aa have not the opportunity of seeing the mistrial building at Stratford an exact representation of the poet's birth plea*, and certainly suable' them to obtain as correct a* impression of it as if they had visited the °cities!. Another great feature of the occasion was the forma tion of a /3hakespesis Court, which was ao crowded during the day that there was seareoly room to move in it. This court is in the vestibule between the Renaissance and the Italian Courts. The vestibule barn from the first ocetained the bust of the poet, from the monument in the choreal al Stratford Church(' post of honour in strange and mospicsons contrast with the humble room in which the post first saw light), and the tomb of that Virgin- Queen wham be so happily celebrated. At the foot of the bust are orals of the Macriptioas es the grave-stones of Shshaspeare and his wifia In the upper parties of t►e POL YTECLO; IC. A Shakespearian colouring was given to the en tertainments at this popular plans of amusement by the introduction of the " (Aosta of Shakespeare." and by a coooert is which the sow of the poet figured prominently; executed by Mies Lee, Madame fleiake, Mr. Montam Smith, and Mr. George Bucklawl. The aocompanying readings wets delivered by Mr. Gaston Money. 13111111110 HAIL—The members of the corporation and a number of the most ieflunitial residents in Birming ham, on Saturday responded to an invitation issued by the Mayor (Mr. Holliday), to a public breakfast at Hock's Royal Hotel.
