The nomination of candidatt•s for the vacancy in the representation of the borough, caused by the elevation of Mr. Mellor, Q.C., to the judicial bench, took pace yeatenlay morning, in front of the Exchange.

Henry Pelham Alexander Pelham Clinton, uummunly called the Earl of Liocoln, and Sir Robert Jukes Clifton, Bait, of Cliftou Hall. He now demanded a show of hands for Lind Lincoln. Great groaniog followed the request of the Sheriff, and scarcely a hand was held up in the crowd. r hie man in the very middle of the vast multitude had the temerity to hold up his hand, but he was immediately subjected to booneting that drove Ws hat down over his eyes, and he was compelled to take down his hands to protect kits head. There were some heeds raised on the platform among the adherents of Lord Lincoln. The Sheriff then demanded a show of hands for Sir Ro bert Mies, end a scene unparalleled in the annals of elec tioneering wee witnessed. The immense multitude raised t►eir bands as if by one common impulse, and cheered with a noise like Awake, while they clapped their hands shove their beads. About twenty thotpuud people cheering and applauding with the full power of their voices sad the cx• tram strength of their hands, made up a combination of scene and woad which has never before been witnessed iu Nottingham, and we hardly believe in any place else on any similar occasion. Sir Robert Clifton took off his hat and repeatedly I "Boxing-night," and the first night of a new bowed, the crowd each time lemming the volume of WOW ! masagement, do not often come together ; but yesterday to a deafening height. . evening the St. James's Theatre witnessed both occaaions.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 27, 1861 THE CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENTS. We do not recollect to having seen a more general suspension of Wainer on " Boxing.*" than that which prevailed yesterday. The holiday keepers were fortunate in the weather; for excepting a slight fog which partially enveloped the metropolis in the rooming, it was all that could be desired by those wham testes led them out of doom-tad these wee not a few, for over 39,000 visited the Crystal Palace alone. The Zoological Gardens and other places in and about London in which out-of.door amuse meets were offered had also a goodly number of visitors, The great Ohm:ties, however, was of course the theatres in the evening. raising words and phrases, Mr. William Brunet has ac quired marked distinction, Dot only in conjunction with his late brother but by himself. The extravaganza which lad night saw the gas for the first time will fully sustain his reputation. STRAND. The Christmas entertainment at this favourite resort of the lovers of dramatic fun has been well selected, sad may be pronounced a complete emcees. The opening piece yesterday evening being the comedietts of Obseresami and "nation, it was succeeded by a fairy burlesque extra vaganza, from the pen of Mr. Henry J. Byron, entitled Pais in a New Pair of Boole, in which all the comic forte of the establishment has fell play. The plot is familiar in nursery lore, deviating but slightly from Qs original basis. The several parte Sr. well-sneteined throughout, while the ballet, singing, and scenery are ex ceedingly effective. Puss is admirably represented by Min Saunders, and the Ogre is almost equal to the monster of juvenile imagination. Another merit, which belonP Mil lis/1y to this author, is that the piece is of very niedsrate length, and coming as it does between the °peeing and concluding parte of the evening's programme, terminates soon after 10 o'clock. The concluding performance was The Meal Welke, by the same author as the estrum pass. The pantomime at Astley's le founded on the well•keown story of Jamey Gilpie's tide, so amusingly told by Cowper. In the story the hone takes Jobasy faster and farther than he iotended to go, being impelled by the awkwardness of the rider, but in the pamkerainze, el course, sprites and fabies are the directors of lie move ments, and the cootrollits of his destiny. The louse wee well filled, and the pantomime woe well received, the traasformation scene which is really beautihd, asigig forth great plaudits. DRURY-LANE. The title of the pantominie at thin theatre is Harlequin and the Moore that Jack heat ; or, Old Mother Hubbard and her Wonderful Dog, and is the production of the regukr pantomime* writer of the theatre, Mr. Blanchard. There won a tremeadeue kale ; sad it say be mistimed that " God Save the Queen," elm played at the sod of she overture, was received with etearig fading by the audinuie, and on their uDequivocel dewed played a seeded time. ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA, 00VENT-GARDEN. The entertainments here were the Pitritam's DougAter and the pantomime, Ifierkapk, asikwer. near esmi ea mierimone boom crowded from the or shartra to the highest regime. The Open was mock cur tailed foe the sake of the pantomime ; too much cast ailed, we thought, for it was performed with great spirit and effect, and most warmly applauded from beginning to sod. We regretted the minion of several MOMS= which have hum specially distinguished by the favour of the public, pm , tioalarly Mies Louisa Pyse's meg, " Pretty, modest, lowly Swenor," which ie the gem of the open-- the of the best Llano that Balfe has ever written—and which the fair sonipitrees warbles with incomparable brilliancy and beauty. The potassium is from the practised pen of Mr. J. M. Mortca. The transformation scene, which, as usual, forms the coonectiog ►ink henries the drama sod the harlequinads, is of such marvellous brillisocy—so nch and gorgeous—that it is quite sufficient, of itself, to draw crowds to the theatre for many night. to come. Certainly we have never before seen on the stage aoy such combinations of light and colour. The scene represents the bottom of the ma, with shells, groves of coral, and the other objects which poets describe as filling the caves of the ocean, and moo( them sea nymphs mimed in making their toilet. Never boa the pencil of Callcott been more truly magical. The last pert of the performanos—the harlinninsda-- was very good ; but such things are an alike, and their constant sameness shows peat poverty of invention. The pantomime characters, however, were excellently sustained. There were two Hialequise—Mmars. F. Payne and 8. Lauri ; two Clowns—Messrs. H. Payne and E. Lan ; Mr. H.

He bogies his evening with en mthrtainment whisk is so good that no oasis in an unseemly burry for the pinteminie, and he makes his pantomime, when it coma resod, Joel the sort of thing which chiles. and yeses peel& Ms, with a nice juvenile story, beautiful soseery, and plenty of tumbling aid dancing by the dra matis persona , . Mr. Sterling Coyee's comedy of Mirk Steep was immensely relished yesterday evening. The ladies, Mesdames Young and Wilkins acted splendidly: Mr. Compton was as dry and la humorous as usual, and the lesnee himself acted in a manner showed how little he re flected that it would be his painful duty to spend the kat, part of the evening in a stets of frantic collision with the corpeMene and soenselofters. Everybody wee died before the curtain at the end of the play, and nobody skewed any impatience for the panto mime. The latter, however, was quite up to the Hay market standard of excellence. The innocent love of " MillP buffet " for the " Little Boy Blue" was the theme, and it was worked out with a eompletesses and splendour which most have delighted the whole juvenile audience. PRINCEMPet. The renowned bourgeon legend of Whittington and his Cat be, furnished to Mr. H. Byron the raw MAO" rials from which he has worked op the introduction to gee pantomime of this thesis,. It may be doubted whether a smart young lad arriving pensileas within the mood of Bow bells do these days weald ever dream of enpging in a specu lation like that el Dick Whittingtoo. Unhappily the fell/aspen penalties of too many of them takequitia different directiom as the reoords of the police court/ bear testimony. Still who %hall my how many reputable and wealthy chimes, without having exactly iavested in "cat's meat," may not have their imagination kindled and their purisms strengthened by the deep import which often "lurks in the legend told their infant years." However this may be, this " Lun'un Legend" has furnished an inexhaustible supply et the very best material to the constructors of pantomime. LYCEUM. The manager. Mr. FAlmuml Falconer, appears to have gone in without metre for the Hibernian drama, to which the fortunes of the Golder', Bars at • neighbouring theatre have of Lite given so decided an impetus. With the Peep o'Dny, which is having quite • run, be has pre sented to hie Christmas pain= • new version of Little Red Riding Hood, with an Irish episode and • double "tre mendous header.* The writer of the piece is Mr. Leicester Buckiogham, who by a sort of Niebuhr Lin process has re solved the famous myth of our nurseries into an amatory persecution, of which • barna bight W.. 11 is guilty. The scenery, including a panorama of the Lake. of Killarney, ley Mews. Grieve mid Telbin, is superb. The dresses are also very gay, and admirably emanated, so that, on the whole, the piece is of an exceedingly plemant and cheerful character. OLYMPIC. The King of the bferrows ; "r, the Prince and the Piper, is the title et the piece which, plot constructed by Mr. Pa!grave Simpson, and joke furnished by Mr. F. O. Borland, is presented as the Christmas festivity for the Olympic audience. All the character. did their beet, and a very beautiful " hat scene" brought the curtain down amidst loud applause. No Christmas novelty was produced at this house, the Octoroon and the undying Cohan Barn being con sidered sufficiently attractive. In consequence of the illness of Mrs. Boucicault, the part of the:heroine was played by Miss Ranee, an adopted daughter of the late M. Jullien, and a member of a well-known theatrical family, who exhibited great promise. The house was crammed. BT. JA M EA'S. CRYSTAL PALACE. The Christmaa fair, which ham now become an annual institution at the Crystal Palace, woe yesterday inaugurated in the presence of upwards of 39,000 visitors, who, attracted within the bounds of the central transept, proved rather too numerous for that large area. The attractions were of that widely popular kind which, at all events during Christmastide, may be considered allowable here ea elsewhere, for the powerful reason that the peo ple want them, will have them, and refuse to go anywhere without them. It seems difficult, while look ing at the surging, seething flood of humanity which rolls and roan below the great Handel orchestra, to believe that, in the public ta'te, this kind of enjoyment is preferable to quiet sauntering' among statues, fountains, beautiful plants, monuments of art sod history, fairy-like parterres, and objects which delight the eye at every turn. But if everybody, or if any important majority of the public at large, were to take a hieing for such calm diversions, it is plain that all their calamine would disappear. We should then have crowding and struggliag, and pushing and elbow ing to explore the revived antiquities of the Pompeian Court, or the reproduction of the West Frost of Guieborough Cathedral, or the carved door of Prince Arthur's chapel, or the Cellimi gates, or the sculptures from Fontaloebleau. Taking the Crystal Palace as we find it—which is to take it in a merry mood just at present—we will merely tell what was going ea then) yesterday, and will go ea in the same manner during the Christmas holidays. First came Id. Blondin, on the high rope, in the central transept. His performance was of the usual character, and was only remarkable for one novel variation. This was the feat of getting is front of his pole, tieing with it behind him, •ad curing it in that position. The Blondin exhi b4iou was followed by • mirage of nigger aingiug, dancing, and amalag baffeeaary, tie chief actor in which were the " iniadishle Ilsakare and the Perfect Core, lastly, are a plod ballet pantomime on a stage erected oppaaita the Budd arabostrs. This ballet introduces H. Morin as an ape, sad Mims Adele Biondi& • pretty little child, as a boy, whoytb•rgaeioua and benevolent brute eaves from drowning sad ajoyde wt parental tenderness. There is a tragic sad to this ballet ; for the ape is shot just before the discovery of his good deeds is made. N. Birdie astonished the spectators, not only by • marvellously close imitation of monkey manners, but in • much greater degree by feats of strength and daring. Having run op a rope from the pro aceeium to • side pllery of the transept, be seized another rope, which was suspended from the centre, sod, holding it as a bellringer would do, took a flying lap across the immense width of the transept; in the same way ►e afterwards regained the stage. The effect of the. astounding feats on the spar tater was @retrial A breathless pause followed them, aa if the pair could scarcely believe the reality of what they rw ; and it was not till after some oximeats that the applause broke forth. Apart from the extraordinary per formers of H. Blondln, the ballet was very well salad, sad was set off by some admirable scenery. The Palace is decked with holly —on which, alas! there are no bright red berries this yesr —sad is also ornamented with devices which bid the visitor, cherish all the kindly remembrances of the season. There is • Christmas tree of unprecedented sine, and covered with a bountiful crop of toys. In short there is everything to make the Crystal Palace • favourite resort of holiday-makers, young, old, ad middle-aged, for weeks to come. MC AND 3110.

Germain Reed and Mr. John Parry was given morning and evening yesterday. Mr. John Parry's musical story of the Caren Bairn, and Mr. German Reed's song, " Mamma won't bring her out," were enjoyed by large audiences. CANTERBURY 11•1. L.—Thia Hall and Fine Arts Gallery were brimful last night, an additional isdueement to visit this particular place being found in some striking novelties, the principal of which was a pantomimic sketch called the Enchanted Hark in which the sole performer was Mr. Marshall, who last year, with Mr. Bell, essayed Dearly the same performance, which was stopped because it wee held to be a portion of a "siege play." As represented bye single individual, this little piece of merriment is sot opss to the same objection. It was completely stmeseetul, the actor playing sonic grotesque characters in a panto. mimic "introduction," and afterwards essaying a clown, pantaloon, he. Some capital hits at the American imbroglio told immensely with the audience, who were very patriotic, of course. A round of comic minstrelsy otherwise agreeably diversified the more "classical" por tions of the entertainment, which, of course, consisted of operatic selections, in which Miss Russell, Mr. H. Herbert, Signor Tivoli, and others, took the principal parts, aided by the invariably efficient chorus, the whole being under lir. Jonglimans's direction. During the intervals of the music or as a separate treat, crowds visited the picture gallery,, and renewed acquaintance with the famous collection of pictures there. MADAMIC TURNAUD'S. This exhibition was crowded yesterday from morning till evening, to an extent almost unprecedented in Raker•street records, the peat mem, adorned with gilding, armourial trophies, costly hangings of scarlet cloth, and studded with the Gores of monarchs, war riors, sad heroes of all countries and of many ages of history, being the chief attraction. The figure which drew most attention was that of President Lincoln. POLYTICHNIC. —We lieftliibed yesterday the= re erestiee provided at this inetitutioo. which was throoghost the day.

A PRODIGY IN THE PULPIT. —On Slllolay a lad, 'sixteen yeah of age, Master Norris, of Wrightiogton, Lan cashire, preached two sermons in the Primitive Methodist Chapel. Melbourne street. The chapel was crowded to excess on each occasion, and the large audiences listened with breathless interest to the sweet and captivating elo quence of the young pulpit orator, who descanted on his Gospel themes with an appropriateness and a telling power that, in n lad of ouly sixteen, seemed almost marvel lous. The Rev. Mr. Stroud, at the close of the sealing sermon, gave some particulani With* youthful preacher. It appears that young Norrie is the son of a poor man, and that the lad himself is a son of toil, having daily to travel five miles to and from his employment. Notwithstanding these disadvantages. he finds time to read and study, and the result is that be speaks grammatically and reasons logically.
