Once more the great th eatrical festival bait gold a bat e d entirely mate the lallitence of Ulf, tin-toil, gauze p etticoats, bismuth, gas-tens, ! however, s and all the heterogeneous elements which compose 1M Puldtittemos. a stage "Christmas piece " has come round, and the liriglish language is found to be too poor and too limited to describe in play-bills the brilliant scenes ; and gorgeous spectaelea which last night were set before tee admiring British public. Hitanical dic tionaries, Greek Lexicons, Italian, German, and Trench word-books, the nomenclature of natural history, repositories of medical and chemical knowledge, and other books in which long and full-sounding words are to be discovered, I have been ransacked managers to find titles for glittering " transfor m ation scenes." Troops of pantomimists from various parts of the country said somewhat unfashionable quarters of London have suddenly cast off their nationality, aid with the gaudy garments of pantomime have put on names that savour more of Florence, Tim buctoo, or Constantinople, than of Whitechapel or Stoke-in-the-Hole. That very useful, but very re tiring labourer in the theatrical vineyard—the stage carpenter, pale and fishy-eyed with overwork and want of sleep, worried by the scenic artist and ' nervous figurantes, who object to be suspended in mid-air, or to descend in the quivering mass of ironwork which represents a fairy oar in the eyes of the audience, blames the hour when the last pans of coloured fire are lighted at the wings for the final tableau, and he is free to seek his uneasy couch, and dream over his triumphs and his failures. Dressmakers, property men, and the crowd of people who work for theatres, feel sudden relief, , followed by a want o f occupation, an " aching void" which it is difficult to till up, and gas companies are alternately beseeched and commanded by excited managers to increase their illuminating power. In pieces which depend so much upon gas as these Christmas spectacles the explosion of a gasometer at a gas-works is a serious calamity, which may cut up a scene, and may probably close a theatre. The pant o mimel this year am still in the ascen dant. Drury Lane and Covent Garden are faith ful to these en tertaiuments ; all the local theatres, from the Marylebone in the far west to the Pavilion in the far east, are dependent upon harlequinades with burlesque introductions. The transpontine theatres—the new Surrey, Astley's, and the Victoria—rely upon similar attrac tions ; the new Highbury theatre produces its first pantomime ; and it is only the central houses which are satisfied with the lighter form of entertainment —the extravaganza, without the pantomimic addi tion. Those who want broad burlesque will find scarcely anything to suit their tastes this season. Operatic burlesque has possession of the Strand and the Prince of Wales's ; classical burlesque is found at she New Royalty ; extravaganza at the Olympic ; the Haymarket has taken French comic opera, with a burlesque rendering by Mr. Planchti ; the Adelphi promises to adopt the same course ; the Lyceum relies upon its new drama, produced on Christmas eve ; the Princess's upon drama, and the St. James's upon a piece of the " Critic " order, which is a mixture of farce and burlesque. The music halls, emboldened by a recent legal decision, which was not remarkable for firmness or a knowledge of the subject, have produced bslleta where their stage-room would permit of such per formances ; and horse-riding flourishes at the Agri cultural Hall. The Crystal Palace and the Polytech nic each offer special Christmas a ttractions, and holi day-keepers can hardly complain that Loudon is backward in providing amusements to suit every taste and every pocket. ADELPHI. A Boxing-night andienee, soberly exuberant with Bed's -eight pod temper, and without the &Moieties of Mr ordinary 13ozing-idght phallus, was aseembled here lest night.

Indeed, the success of Master Roselle as King Pippin is the only possible justifi cation for keeping a perfect myriad of children on the stage when the poor little things ought to have been put to bed hours before. But these juvenile spectacles seem to be growing more attractive every year, and we suppose it is melees to imagine • demand for exhibitions of this kind will fail to produce a corresponding supply, In the harlequirsade no falling off was visible, and those graceful Columbines, Mesdames Boleno and L.

CRYSTAL PALACE. If there existed yesterday morning any incredu lous individual who doubted that the business of pleasure wee very hard work, be should have taken his statiop ou the outskirts of the Taal oe'o w d who pressed whet the rostrum-doors of the Crystal Palace Railway from any res. seeable hour in the forenoon to say unnameable hour in the afternoon. They seemed to represent all claims in society, so varied was. the ossttune, so extraordisary the ejaculations, eo energetic the collective deportment. At 2 o'clock there were assembled under one roof a crowd of somewhere near 40,000 people, the population of a good sewed-rate continental city, all well-dreesed, sad with mosey in their pockets, as jolly, se civil, and SE good humoured as parable, filling the atmosphere with their ringing laughter, and then—with desperate energy—them selves, at the various refreshment counters, which stretched "many a rood" is every direction. When the popular raid upon park pies, cold roast beef, and other favourite edibles wee one, the Public eat calmly down to watch Signor }hillside in his elegsat and some what perilous ascent. They were spectators in their own estimation, but in fact they formed themselves a most magnificent and suggestive Ejecta:la The whole transept wee full to suffocation, the Handel orchestra was densely packed, Wag rows of eager bless peered along the galleries, and the naves were populous as far dews each way, as permitted of the most distant view of the performance. Signor Ethardo, who, now that he has become famous, will have no objection to be established as en Englishman, or' &hair, was quite equal to the escallop. He made hie perilous ascent with wonderful certaiaty and agility, laughing at then oscillations of his uncertain footing, and coming every few yards to a full stop, to warm his hands and exchange courtesies with the cheering crowd. On the first day he found the haulers cold after the viva@ of the lively Florentines, who, we are told, forgot all about Dante and the Inferno, in their admiration of Ethardo and spiral amen/ion. But it was all made right yesterday, the performer and his audience had become acquainted, and the cheering was such as to stimulate the mo dern Sysiphus—whose striae, by the way, doge DOt roll back on him—to freehand extraordinary exertion. When the iralitien had terminated, the breaking up of the crowd wee a curious sight. So great were, so thickly pecked had been, the burner masses, that anything like individual re liniment wee, for at least a quarter of an hour, quite out of the question. Two great i gulph streams surged slowly along--one towards the tropical region and the monkeys , the other, with truer instinct, to the Bertram territory and the provisiore, and on the top of both could be seen float ing ladies' bonnets and shawls,and stray infants, the flotsam and jetsam of these two great high tide' of holiday humanity. It looked grand, almost awful, the slightest accident might have caused • panic and a nob, and a prink and a rash would have mused hundreds of the weak and the little to be trampled under foot ; but the police ead the barriers were abundant and well placed, and Mr. Bewley in person marshalled with his usual tact and coolness forty thousand undisciplined men, IIDDIS•ODdliO women, and unmanageable children out of the Palace without the slightest hitch, interruption, or serious accident. In the fifteen minutes we have before narrated the circu lation was completely restored. There was at the tannins, ties • crowd nowhere, but people everywhere, at the stalls, la the pieture gallery, paying a visit to the great ox, or learning to skate under difficulties, but free from all danger of immersion. Byend•by the performances began in the transept theatre, the " Lofty Ladders," the " inimitable" Stead, Chang and Chow, the Freshen and the Bevan!. There were the "great little Hotline " and his gifted family, the Christmas pantomime, and the grand organ. At dusk the palace was lighted up, to look like the Hall of Ellis, and • little later, we pre some, the assault of retiring thousands on the railways commenced. We cannot state from personal knowledge how all the visitors got home, but we saw in the course of the evening one gentleman, who having left the palace at half-pest four, had arrived at London-bridge at half-past eight, so we presume that nothing like indecent hest' or precipitation marked the retreat of the forty thousand. ROY AL SURREY THEATRE. The scene presented on the outside as well an the ulterior of this theatre last night was of an unprecedented description. Long before the opening of the doors a crowd of persons bad congregated so large that it was hopeless to expect for a moment that anything mote than a small minority would be able to obtain admittance. Notwith standing that a sort of semi-private door pear the stage entrance had been opened previously to the principal doors such a rush occurred to every part of the theatre as to teat to their utmost extent the capabilities of the pumps and corridors. It is not probable that they will ever receive a severer strain, and the manner in which 'that test was sustained gave abundant proof not only of their stheegth, but of the extraordinary advantages which the sew Surrey possesses for the ingress and egress of the people. Probably from the opening of the doors to the filling of the theatre in every part, the time occupied wan not more than ten minutes, and from the facilities afforded for the instantaneous removal of all barriers in the case of • sudden alarm, it is quite evident that the building can be emptied In a very few minutes. There were above 4,000 visitors at this theatre last night, but, thanks to the excellent system of ventilation adopted by Mr. Ellis, by which • current of cool air passe. continually acmes the body of the house, • pretty equable t emperature was maintained, and although a few in the pit and gallery doffed their coats and waistcoats with a view to the more comfortable enjoyment of the pantomime, the great body of the people in the pit and gallery were content to abetaie from a custom which used to be pretty generally adopted in the old Surrey. After settling themselves down in the hones and taking a look round, a general cheer testified the joy of the pithes sod the gods at finding themselves in possession of a more mageificest theatre than ever on their side of the water. The ceiling and sunlight seemed to attract great atteatioci, it being admitted on all bands that the latter was a vast improvement upon the old fashion of lighting by means of • cumbrous gaselier. There was scarcely standing room in soy part of the home, sod its extent may be gathered from the fact that 1,500 eau be accommodated in the pit, '2,000, nearly, in the gallery, and about l:00 in the boxes. Besides these there are the pit stalls, • new addition, and the passages and corridors, which were also crowded. When the curtain drew up shortly after 7 o'clock, the whole company appeared on the stage, and sang the Nations' Anthem, but such was the noise and confusion in the build. ing that • few bars only of the solo parts could be dietiootly heard. The whole of the oast audience, however, rose and remained standing while it was being sung. Afterwards "God Bless the Priori of Wales" was gives, the sliming of both pieces being applauded at the close. Mr. Shepherd than cams forward, and amidst the most iDthugiutie theeriog delivered an address. The entertainment commenced with Mark Lemon's little drama of " Honesty the Best Policy," bat it was quite evi dent that the new pantomime wee what the people bad come to see, and although they listened pretty quietly to the first piece it passed off rather flatly. It was quite evi- dent that in this piece the actors were trying the proper pitch of their voices and the capabilities of the new theatre for mound. In regard to this paint it was setisfactory to find that, whether for instrumental or vocal musk, the sew Surrey is at least equal to the old playhouse, and this was subsequently made quite manifest by the excellent singing of Miss Goodall sad Mies Webster in the pantomime. The subject chreen foe the Christmas entertainment was, as i s usually the Ca" of the flimsiest possible deseriptioa, and served as a mere peg to hang the @pinta& upon. Th e scenery altogether is of au extremely beautiful cha racter, especially the new drop by Tahiti and the painting of Dame Daw's haesselsed by Gates. ledepeudeet of the playhouse being Dew, the character of the pantomime is quits sufficient to secure it • long and enoceesful run. There were a few hitches lest night, but, as • whole, la went remarkably well and elicited the hearty applause el all wrath AGRICULTURAL HALL. There is, perhaps, no building in London which lathe course of each year is put to so many different uses es the Agricultural-hall, in Islington. We go there to see the cattle show, the horse show, poultry shows, exhibitions of flowers, fruit, and vegetables ; last year there was the North London Workmen's Industrial Exhibilioe, and during the aumner we had a donkey show going on within its walls. For them and many other princess the build ing in well adapted, but for none does it appear so exactly suitable as for that of • Hippodrome. The apses of the arena is so vast, the shape of the interim no admirably adapted for horsemanship or racing, and the amornmodatioo it affords the public so ample, that the woad*/ Is some enterprialeg individual at the head of an equestrian company does net abetter the ball as a permanent circus, and make it the breed quarters of the kind of perfonsauns now going on there. Yesterday, being Boxing-day, Mr. Bodkin commenced a Christmas campaign in this immense building, having for the army under his command a company of equestrians and other performers, numbering, as he informs us in his programme, no lees t h an 500 individuals, with 100 hones. He began with two performances, the ant at half-peat two, the wooed at ••••11, end this ensegement will be contioued during the Christmas week. And U the public had no name to complain of what has leen provided for their Christmas entertsiamest at the great building lo Islington, neither has Xr. Ruffin muse to grumble at any want of petroeage. From the roof to the floor, all aloes and all round this immeese hall, there was yesterday not a seat to be had. There Dodd not have been lam than seven or sight thousand people in the place at iamb representation ; but although quite full, it was by no means inconveniently cro A more salient equestrian company has never been brought together is London, and although there are many ROYAL ENGLLSEI OPERA. There wits bat little of the tumult throughonliTthe even- I lag that wu once inseparable from Boxing-night, although between the opening piece and the pantomime one or two altercations of a:pensooed character apparently occurred in the upper regions; but thole were very soon over, and on the opening bars of Mr. Montgomery's over ture being heard there was a general settling down into places, and an evident and good.humoured determination to be amused. The subject chosen for the pantomime this year is by no means a new one, the adventures of Aladdin having been represented many times on the stage under various guises. Mr. Blanchard hen acquitted himself most admirably. Not ooly has he infused as many original notions in his treatment of the story as is possible in one so thoroughly familiar to everybody, but he has likewise most ingeniously devised scenes, whereby en idea of the " manners and customs" and "inner life" in the Celestial Empire, may be attained. The dialogue, though not abounding in puns after the modern burlesque school, is sparkling and funny, and the jeu.e de etas, when they do occur, provoke much laughter, their com plications in some instance. being enough to "take one's breath away." From the commencement to the end the eye is i constantly dazzled by some fresh combination of colour, and a succession of splendid processions or beautiful ballets are only interrupted by the inimitable drolleries of Mr. W. H. Payne and Mr. F. Payne, wbo as usual have most of the actual fan to themselves, although they are now meet ably satiated by Miss Rachel Sanger and by Mr. Charles Steyne, the latter's impereon►tion of the widow Ching-Ching being exceedingly amusing. The other characters were all well sustained, bat being tuniinportant require no special remark. HAYMARKET. At the Haymarket, "Brother Sam" formed an excellent foreground to the Christmas novelty, which eon- misted cf an "Opera Buffou," from the Preach of IL Cremicux, and rue into rhyme by Mr. Plancht , .
