Picturesque groupings and lively dances were interspersed, at fitting intervals, during the performance; and the closing scene, show ing the " Fairy wedding-cake" properly mag nified and illuminated with coloured fires, de serves commemoration for graceful design. This closing scene is brilliant enough to form an attrac tion by itself; and the extravaganza generally will probably become a public favourite. when the said publie are able to understand it. plucE 4D .

Mr. Rogers, who has lately emerged from the grotesque, resumes it in the personifica tion of Clotilda, the Baron's eldest daughter. The weight of the piece is in great measure throw n u p on him, and certainly his make-up and womanly tricks* were amusing in the extreme. Mr. Clarke, as the Baron, was a trifle beyond Falstaff, stuffed an d padded in imitation of his prototype, with BON* addition suitable to the character, Hewes as pom pous and mean at the same time as became a neces sitous old curmudgeon at his wit's- end for his next shift. The second'sister was played. with much spirit and character by Miss Lavine, Miss Oliver made a charming Prince with all the aid that silk and velvet could lend her. Cinderella was enacted by Miss Maria Simpson. She was a little too shrewish for the amiable damsel which a heroine ought to be.; but lively, piquante, and well up to her situations. The page to the Prince--envious .and disgusted with his position—became, in the hands of that very clever actress, Miss Saunders, a groat assistance to the piece. Mr. Turner was the domestic flunky of the Baron's dilapidated house hold, .and made the most of his capital make-up of green and buttons. The piece was perfectlysuccessful, and the usual compliments were paid at the end to Mr. Byron, the author, and to Messrs. Calcott and Broadfoot, to whom the scenic arrangements were due. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. The Christmas entertainment at this house is one which, whether we regard its composition, its gene ral getting up, or its ensemble hat reflects the greatest credit upon the author Brough), the management, and indeed all the parties con nected with its production, or engaged in its illus tration. It is entitled " Endymion, or the Naughty Boy who Cried for the Moon," and is an extrava ganza, or burlesque, more than ordinarily hu morons, and affords ample scope and verge enough to the clever artists who represent the several characters in it to indulge themselves to the top of their bent in all the features of fun,whether as regards dialogue or situation. The plot is founded on the exquisite legend of " Endymion," the Shepherd Prince (Miss M, Taylor), whose love for Diana, or the Moon (Miss Herbert), has been immortalised in Keats's charming poem. The scenery was in many respects beautiful. We may especially notice the summit of Mount Latmos, the effect of the rays of the moon upon the sleeping Endymion, and the closing scene where Endymion ascends to the silver throne of Luna. Upon the whole, we have to congratulate the management upon the production of this extravaganza, which is sure to obtain the genel-al approval of the public. The intensely interesting drama of " The Isle of St. Tropez" preceded the burlesque, and enchained the attention of the. audience throughout its repre sentation. Mr. Wigan's acting of the part of Henri Desart was of the highest _order, and met with deserved approval. THE ADELPHI. The holyday entertainments at this favourite place of public amusement were the new farce by Mr. Thomas J. Williams, called" An Ugly Custo mer ;" a new and original drama by Mr. Dion Boucicault, " The Colleen Bawn ;" and a new and original burlesque extravaganza by Mr. H. J. Byron, entitled " Blue Beard from a New Point of Hue." Of the first two pieces now represented, the former for the 17th and the latter for the 92d time, it were idle to express commendation. The hearty laughter with which the " Ugly Customer" was received by a very full house and the intense interest sustained, during the three acts of " Colleen Bawn" was as fresh and absorbing as on their first production. The water cave scene at the end of the second act was so admirably rendered that Mrs. Dion Bouci cault, as Eily O'Connor, and her deliverer were called before the curtain, amid great applause. The characters throughout were admirably sustained, and the scenic and mechanical contrivances were often novel ,and always effective. But the great attraction of the evening was the burlesque extra vaganza of " Blue - Beard," the "new point of hue" in which he appears arising from his action under the influence of the green-eyed monster—a kind of Oriental Othello as well as tyrant. The bashaw Abomelique, alias Blue Beard, Mr. J. L. Toole, has persuaded Fatima, Miss Woolgar, to become his bride in consideration of his foregoing a bond he has over her insolvent father Ibrahim's (Mr. C. J. Smith's) estate, but her sister Anne (!Liss Kate Kelly), whom she has supplanted in the affections of Selim (Miss Emily Thorne), a dashing young officer of Spahis, suspects Fatima after her nuptials of continued at tachment to Selim, and plies Abomelique with sus picions of her fidelity, to which he lends too ready an ear. On the eve of a journey he delivers to Fatima the keys of all his treasures, but to test her fidelity charges her as she loves him not to venture near, above all things not to enter the Blue Cham ber, where are his 19 headless wives. Sister Anne urges Fatima to enter the proscribed Chamber under the belief that it is a seraglio, from which her husband wishes to exclude her. She enters, but drops the key, which receives a stain she can not efface. On Abomelique's sudden return, in an excited stilt* he demands his keys, and discovering the proof of his wife's disobedience, he threatens to despatch her instaxtly; but a short parley ensues, and in the meanwhile Selim arrives, wards off the fatal blow, wounds Abomelique, and a happy re conciliation takes place. Some of the rhymes of which the piece is composed are rather rugged, but they have often considerable point and occasionally some brilliancy. Mr. J. L. Toole was the life and soul of the representation. The scenery was very beautiful, the dresses were splendid, and the music and dancing extremely pleasing and attractive. LYCEUM. Madame Celeste's Christmas Extravaganza of " Chrystibelle, or the Rose without a Thorn," has turned out a most triumphant success. From first to last the applause wa s loud, long, an d immense. The plot has already appeared at length in The Sun, so it is unnecessary again to repeat it. The principal performers Miss Ternan, Miss Thompson, the Misses Collinson, and charming corp s de ballet, acquitted themselves admirably. The, Amazonian dance by..the latter was one of the most novel compositions w itnessed for a long time. The great feature of the evening, however, was the grand concluding scene, and with truth, it may be said, Madame Celeste and her talented scenic artist, Mr. Calcott, have eclipsed all their former magnificent efforts. To adequately d esc ribe the grandeur of this reful g ent d azzlin g scene would be impossible. The stage is lite rally one blaze of golden light, in which the branches of a magic bower unfold themselves, and display to the wonderi ng and asto nishe d audience a coup creeii of unsurpassed magnificence. The gorgeous effect when the whole was lit up with brilliant emerald and ruby coloured fire cannot be describ ld . , it must be witnessed to be fully admired. The "V . • ision of the Rose," as it is named, is a most original and gorgeous • display, fully sustains the t g raditions of the Lyceum as the fairy hom e oa, f extravaganza. OLYMPIC.

TEE CERISTMAS A mUsENEN2s. DRURY-LANE. This theatre last night commenced its season in earnest with a grand comic Christmas pantomime, entitled "Peter Wilkins; or, Harlequin and the Flying Women of the Loadstone Island." The first scene represents the interior of a Cornish mine, where Peter Wilkins (Mr. W. Templeton) is dis covered to be rather.of a lazy turn, and receives " more kicks than halfpence" as his reward. On the visit of Earl Trevanion (Mr, R. Power) to the mine, which is his property, accompanied by his fair daughter Consttntia (Miss Conway), Peter falls in love with the lkttcr, and is beloved by her in return. Hereupon the captain of the mine and his brother miners vent their spleen upon poor Peter by shutting him up for the night in the mine, and here, in the midst of his solitude, he is visited by Feldspar, the chief of the Kobolds, or Goblins of the mine (Mr. Barsby), followed by an immense retinue of pigmy Kobolds, who stretch, in picturesque array, diagonally across the stage, and, considering their tender age and tiny pro portions, perform marvellous manoeuvres. This leads our hero to " A Visit to Elfin Land in the Crystal Sphere"—a magnificent Turneresque scene, filled by elves, fairly bedight in gold tissue, who throw him into a sort bewilderment with their fairy-like music and maty dances. This scene was the first great hit of the evening, and one of the most successful efforts of Mr. W. Beverley, who was summoned to the footlights to receive the enthusiastic congratulations of the audience. Another scene, on terra firma, at the gate of Trevanion Castle, leads to an incident which results in Peter Wilkins engaging himself as cabin boy on board the " good ship Adventurer," sailing on some distant voyage to or via the South Pacific. A storm at sea follows, amusingly diversi fied by the introduction of a variety of marine cu riosities—such as John Dory, Dogfish, a real mer maid, and the original whistling oyster which delivers itself of an accompaniment obligato of a well-known air, the name of which we do not at the moment happen to recollect, with remarkable fluency and clearness of tone. But the attractive power of the Loadstone Rock is irresistible ; the Adventurer is wrecked and goes to the bottom, leaving Peter Wilkins perched on the point of a reef. The transformation scene which now imme diately follows completely eclipses the Elfin Land effect already described, and in many particulars surpasses any similar effort of stage decorative structure which we have hitherto seen. It repre sents a great gathering of the Winged Women at the trysting place by the spreading Banian Tree, with beautifully winged glumms and gwaries de scending through the air, in glittering array, in a grand scene of fairyland, illuminated by rays of light of varied hues. Here again the audience were so taken by storm that Mr. Wm. Beverley was again vociferously called for, and appeared in obedience to the summons to be overwhelmed by a perfect hurricane of plaudits. According to the custom at this theatre we were treated to a double pantomime company—Harlequins, Messrs. Cormack and St. Maine ; Columbines, the Misses Gunniss ; Clowns, Messrs. Huline and R. Power, besides a little one by young Huline ; Pantaloons, Messrs. H. Naylor and R. H. Martin. Taken as a whole, this Christmas pantomime may be pronounced suc cessful. The house was crowded in every part from the very opening of the doors. HER MAJESTY'S. The pantomime proper has just now received an immense addition to itsprestige in the fact that for :he first time, thanks to the enterprise and radical predilections of Mr. E. T. Smith, it has found a home in that great shrine of Apollo, the temple of the Opera in the Haymarket.. The stage that vas once made vocal and reverential by the ainging'of the " glorious quartet," Grisi, Rubini, Tamburini, and:Lablache, now reverberates with the shouts, bumps, thumps, and vociferations of the less "glo rious quartet"—but still glorious in many eyes— of Harlequin, Clown, Pantaloon, and Columbine. Mr. Smith, however, did not last night present the first pantomime at her, Majesty's Theatre without prefacing it with a musical performance—one, too, of no ordinary kind—thus preserving, to a certain extent, the operatic character of the great establishment in the Haymarket. By this he has shown that not only does he not intend giving up opera during the run of the pantomime, but deter mines to abide by it as pertinaciously as ever. It is impossible to surmise that he would, under any other conditions, have produced a new opera on boxing-night, when every other theatre in London was bringing forward some piece of little worth, or used up, as good enongh on such an occasion. The new opera, " Queen Topaze," is an English version of M.Victor Masse's " La Reine Topaz," introduced some few seasons ago at the Opera Comique of Paris with moderate success. The pantomime written by Mr. E. L. Blanchard, " expressly," as the bills assert, "to employ the vast operatic and choregraphic resources of this establish ment," is founded upon the familiar old English story of " Tom Thumb," and is en titled " Harlequin and Tom Thumb; or, Merlie the Magician, and the Good Fairies of the Court of King Arthur." The miniature hero, per sonated by Miss Lilla Ross, goes through all the traditionary adventures recorded in the memorable narrative. He is brought out of a magic album by the art of the great wizard of the northern climes, is shaken up in a bag of cherry stones, tied up in batter pudding, swallowed by a red cow, absorbed into the system of the giant Hurlothrubo, devoured by a salmon, and finally brought before the table of the great King Arthur, by whom he is knighted, and who appoints him a residence in the palatial mousetrap, whence he sallies forth, on a docile rat, on the expedition that leads him to his legendary fate. Here, however, the good fairy interposes, and he is transformed into Harlequin, whilst the rest of the principal characters undergo the usual magical metamorphosis. The celebrated Lauri Family sup pos t the humours of the harlequinade, and the ballet and the choral departments figure conspicuously in the opening. Mr. Wm. Beverley has invented some most effective scenic contrivances for the embellish ment of the opening ; and Mr. Tully, by original music, has given some striking features to the vocal illustrations; the masks and characteiistic costumes are, as a matter of course, in any theatre under the management of Mr. Smith, by Dykwynkyn, a merry sobriquet the manager has given to his in spector of robes and tailor general. The Lauri Family undertake all the principal personages in the harlequinade, Miss Jenny Lauri being Columbine, Mr. J. Lauri Harlequin, Mr. C. Lauri Clown, and Mr. H. Lauri Pantaloon. The great scene of the piece takes place in the presence of the King and the Distinguished Representatives of the Ancient Days of Chivalry above alluded to. It changes from the banqueting hall of the Palace to " The Chameleon Temple of the Fairies," which we pronounce without hesitation to be the grandest ' and most magnificent tableau we ever beheld in pantomime. To describe the scene is utterly beyond our power. One exquisite effect is the manner in which the same scene, re presented in the most brilliant lustre, is first given in pink light, then in blue, and finishing in dazzling gold. The excitement following this scene was immense, and a loud cry being raised for Mr. Beverley, the scene-painter and designer, when Mr. E. T. Smith stepped forward incontinently and was saluted with hearty cheers from all parts of the house. Boots it not to dwell upon the peregrinations and vicissitudes of Clown and Pantaloon, attended upon by faithful Harlequin and graceful Columbine. These may be left hope fully to the imagination of the reader, seeing that the old routine was not violently departed from, and that the quartet adhered to the good old stock tricks and practical jokes, without which indeed the pantomime would be a misnomer. COVENT GARDEN. The Covent-garden version of M. Victor Masse's " Les Noces de Jeannette," lightest of light operas as it is, was heavy enough for a Boxing-night lever de rideau. In some respects, indeed, it is specially adapted for the purpose, the action partaking some what of the spirit of pantomime—witness the pol trooneries of the lover, with his furniture -breaking propensities, and his craven fears of wedlock. But whether specially fitted or not, " The Marriage of Georgette" was quite to the taste of the audience that crammed Covent-garden last night. Miss Pyne was in capital spirits and voice, and poured out her wonderful bravura, " At my cottage door," with all her old inimitable fluency. Mr. H. Corri was in his best state of perverse unloveableness, and allowed himself to be coaxed, and fed, and mollified into loving the pretty and only too forgiving Georgette, with all the relenting surliness of a fuddled bear cub. So entirely well did the tiny opera go off, indeed, that very possibly even the most juvenile portion of the audience had not been impatiently desiring to see the curtain down for more than half an hour before it fell. Of course the pantomime was the attraction of the night—as of course it will be for many nights to come. The subject, violently seized, wrung and contorted by that able pantomime-wright, Mr. J. V. Bridgman, is the history of our old enemy, " Bluebeard," who, by the way, is not the only wife-killer of that hue of beard, who parades his reprehensible mode of domestic management this Christmas—for there " be" two Bluebeards in the pantomime-field. As our readers are already in formed, Mr. Bridgman's story of the many-wired hero is not exactly according to the orthodox narra tive with which we were once all of us so excitedly familiar. Last night we found Bluebeard in com pany with a certain interpolated King Despotino, and attended by a personage with whom fami liarity would certainly not, under any circumstances, "breed contempt," namely, the Demon of Remorse. Bluebeard's royal acquaintance, King Despotino, is an impersonated warning to monarchs with a taste for governing their subjects according to rule of thumb-screw—if, indeed, it is permissible, even in pantomime, to imagine any such regal impossi bility. Britannia, whom we find also imported into the story, is, of course, our own genius, whose mis sion (in t his present pantomime) is to foster the boldest and furthest-going efforts of Freedom every where and for everybody in the world ; and the way in which she aids Freedom (who is not too strong for her work) to overthrow King Despotino (who is very " strong in his wrong") by assuring her that she (Freedom) has her (Britannia's) "best wishes," is a sentiment calculated to reach to the depths of a British Boxing-night audience's patriotism, and it reached it accordingly. Of the scenery throughout it is hardly possible to speak too highly; it is worthy of the artists(Messrs- Grieve and Telbin), whose old renown is associated with the so-called palmy days of pantomime. The dark scene which precedes the "transformation scene" is a design full of poetry and feeling; it re presents a wreck-strewn sea-shore, on which there is a lightless lighthouse, giving a look of awful desolation to the view. The transformation scene itself is, we are quite sure, one of the most beautiful soenes of the kind that has ever been seen. It is a very wonder of ingenuity ; but it has a charm which is mostly wanting in such scenic displays—it is most beautifully harmonious in colour, and fault lessly graceful in every arrangement of form, for it takes many new forms in the course of its deve lopment. The applause was loud,- long, and thoroughly spontaneous. We need not add that it was well deserved. The harlequinade was what all harlequinades must ba, we suppose. It has the merit .of being carried on by a double set of Clowns, &c., among whom are several old favourites, as Harry Bolen°, M. Milano, W. A. Barnes. The only fact notice able in this performance was the occurrence of an accident which, for a moment threw the audi ence into a state of alarm. A mass of the scenery fell forward with a crash, overthrowing a number of persons who were upon the stage. Mr. Harri son, however, came forward to announce that no one was hurt, and after a few minutes the business went on. Considerable retrenchment of the harle quinade will, no doubt, be made, and then we have no doubt that for a long succession of nights " Bluebeard" will run along " as merry as a grig" whatever that may be. HAYMARKET. The bill of fare at this house judiciously com menced with Goldsmith's glorious old comedy " She Stoops to Conquer," at once appealing to the better senses of a Boxing-night audience, and in troducing Miss Fanny Stirling to the boards of the Haymarket. Of this young lady it is impossible to speak too highly. She is so thoroughly lady-like, and she evinces such genuine feeling, that if her stage education were less complete than it is, one could not help being pleased with her. The rest of the characters were cast as usual. The title of the pantomime is " Queen Lady Bird and her children ; or, Harlequin and a House on. Fire ;" and it gives rise to some very novel effects by a combination of fire and water, of whioh Mr. Fenton, the much-esteemed scene painter, makes the most of. He is ably assisted by Messrs. O'Connor and Morris; and the pantomimic part being committed to the Leclercq family, it is admi rably carried out. The introductory or fairy portion consists of twelve scenes, all charmingly painted, and some with extraordinary and entirely new effects. We may particularise the cell of Aphis and the effect of an April shower, Allegorical Palace of King Aphis and the Children's Bedroom, where a grand bolster ing match takes place, to the infinite merriment of the smaller portion of the audience, though the laughter and enjoyment are by no means confined to them. Then comes the burning of the bower and the transformation scene, where arises a new house from the ashes of the former. Here real water is seen in every form, and makes one of the most beautiful and fanciful scenes ever produced. The harlequinade that follows is well kept up by Mr. Arthur Leclercq as Harlequin, Miss Fanny Wright as Columbine, and Mr Charles Leclercq as Clown. Of course none of the principal incidents of the past year are forgotten. The excess of rain ; the contest with street musicians ; the new road in Kensington Gardens—and of course the Prince of Wales's visit to the capitol at Washington, which gives an opportunity for a grand finale, typifying the brotherhood of John Bull and jonatfian ; and the curtain is brought down to " God save the Queen," and " Yankee Doodle." There can beano doubt this elegant and fantastical production will become a great favourite with the frequenters of this theatre, who seem to look for prettiness and gaiety, rather than a more monstrous pdoroudaucetffioecnt,af.ulllotf boisterouswa a crowded and d author was duly honoured b y a m iz,ah h a u p m p o l a n u r d e a d n , a s n t d u p tehne fashionable audience. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. The Christmas entertainments at this house opened with " Ernestine," which was performed with the same caste of character as en former occa sions of its representation. It was performed in the most perfect manner, and at its conclusion was greeted with applause. The pantomime is entitled " Robinson Crusoe ; or, Harlequin Friday, and the King of the Caribbee Islands," a burlesque by Mr. Henry J. Byron. The first scene opens with a charming view of the Hard, at the seaport of Hull, where we find Pretty Jenny Pigtail (Miss Murray) the object of ambition to Capt. Will Atkins (Mr. J. C. Shore), a pirate, who, Examples of Bonus up to May, 1855 : Sum Bonus in Bonus bi Permanent Policy taken Age. Assured. addition Reduction Cash. to Sum of Annual out in Assured.

Several of the scenes are really magnificent—indeed, the closing scene, representing the voluriteer review in Hyde-park, is of itself sufficient to make the Surrey pantomime a favourite with the public; ASTLEY'S. The pantomime, entitled " Harlequin a.nd the Wonderful Horse ; or, Graciosa and Percinet," is from the pen of Mr. T. L. Greenwood, a gentleman well known in the theatrical world as having be en connected as lessee with Sadler's Wells. The desigl' of the plot—which of course has a strong dash of the horse element ill it—is to show the folly and inconvenience of evil passions, as illustrated by the Ugly Duchess and the Greedy King, and the success attendant in fostering these nobler qualities of our nature, as exemplified by Graciosa and Percinet. Groguan, the Ugly Duchess, and the Greedy King persecute Graciosa and Percinet to the utmost extent, until rescued by the aid of the Wonderful. Horse, who by the Spirit of Pantomime Are wafted to a state of happiness, elaborately displayed in the grand transformation scene, entitled " The Apo theosis of Apollo," in the sunlit region of the Fairy Muses. The Spirit of Pantomime here appears, and, as psual, commands the several metamorphoses— " Calling on Yercinet, light, elegant, and gay, As lively Harlequin, to lead the way." Graciosa thus becomes Columbine; the Ugly Duchess, Pantaloon and the Greedy King, Clown; to each of whom she addresses the following lines:— " The course now ready, I the signal give, In scenes of mirth for one short hour to live." Harlequin here takes his magic wand, and by its all-powerful aid performs the several pantomimic tricks. The small part that Miss Emily Scott had assigned to her (Prince Percinet) was very credit ably performed. Miss Dalton was most painstaking as Columbine, and the applause she received was well merited ; whilst Mr. James Cooke as Clown (his first appear ance in that character), Mr. Sylvester as Harlequin, and Mr. G. Perks as Pantaloon, kept up the spirit and mirth of the performance. The scenery, by Mr. H. Cuthbert, was beautifully painted, and met with general admiration. The tricks and contrivances were clever and ingenious, and under the inspiring power of the Spirit of Pan tomime, Mrs. Thorne, the entertainment —through out a very excellent one—ended with the grand scene entitled the " Apotheosis of Apollo in the Sunlit Region of the Fairy Muses," and a _hearty round of applause from the house. Mr. Batty de serves well, and we hope his Christmas enterprise will meet with the success wh ich it merits. SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE. The new Christmas pantomime is entitled, " Harlequin Sinbad the S ailor, or the Fairy of the Diamond Valley and the little old Man of the Sea," the title of which will call forth many happy re collections of juvenile days, when the Arabian nights' entertainments unfailingly charmed and fascinated the youthful mind. The opening, in the form of an extravaganza, has been entrusted to the experienced hand of Mr. E. L. Blanchard, who has drawn upon the commercial treaty with France for some of his humorous incidents. The characters in the pantomime consist of Mr. Martin, as Harle quin ; Mr. Frederick Lauri, Clown ; Mr. Edward h e r good filled d t a o n dancing overflowing i a n gnumerous everya v a i c l o: l s e Lauri, Pantaloon ; and Miss Phoebe Lauri as ich The pantomime, on the whole, went oft Columbine.
