ASTLEY'S. Easter has always been a great time for holiday makers and sight-seekers, and Easter Monday has always been a day chronicled with great reverence by the proprietors of Astley's : Astley and Ducrow were always wont upon this festive day to dress themselves in their best attire, in order to please those who were seeking for recreation and amuse ment ; and Batty, the present proprietor, has right merrily followed so excellent an example. He has newly decorated and fitted up his theatre in the most tasteful style to welcome Easter and its wonted pas times. To us it created a pleasing sensation as we entered the theatre to find everything around us wearing a cheerful and holiday aspect, and know ing the persevering spirit of Batty, in catering for the amusement of the public, we were prepared for corresponding exertions having been made by him both on the stage and in the ring for our entertain ment. Our expectations, gentle reader, were not disappointed. Van Amburgh and his lions, leopards, and tigers, were the great attraction of the night, and in order to introduce his wonderful feats, a piece was produced entitled " Morok, the Beast Tamer," founded on Eugene Sue's celebrated work, " The Wandering Jew." The plot is as follows : Armand Dugard (Mr. Van Amburgh), " Hunter of the Pyrenees," is the rejected suitor of a village girl, Cecile Le Brun (Mrs. H. Montagu), whose affections are bestowed on Edward Blanval (Mr. J. Fredericks), to whom she is ultimately mar ried. Armand Dugard, in despair, leaves his native land for India, and buries himself in the solitude of the woods. The favoured rival and his bride shortly afterwards emigrate to the same colony, where the former is raised to the rank of lieutenant, Entrusted with the escort of the Raja of the colony, who leads the unsuspecting subaltern into an ambuscade, where his companions fall victims to this treacherous conduct. Edward Blanval escapes to the settlement, where his wife has been left for security. This asylum is attacked by the Raja's troops. Blanval, and several of his companions, - made prisoners, and Cecil rescued only by the fortunate in tervention of Armand Dugard, who has become ac quainteds In this he succeeds, and bears her to his own retreat. In the the life tio of n s his of m th is e tr n e a s t . ives, and de terminesmeantime Blanval and his companions have been con signed to the tender mercies of the wild beast s as an offering to the Hindoo Deity, Bram ah. As they are borne to their doom Cecile rushes in, receives her to withs ave the th i husband, and expresses her determination to share his fate. At this juncture Armand makes his ap pearance, and the Priest having announced that t he Deity would be appeased by the sacrifice of one individual who would willingly devote himself to save the lives of his friends, he generously offers himself as a victim to rescue his quondam mistress, and rival from the fearful fate which awaits them. The offer is accepted, Dugard is exposed to the wild much for the piece, beasts, over whom, however , he exercises a mystic f p i on o : %so' thee t r h that ee xb mildestci t o i n o nv andeor f ts t hm t e h o e ws them amiablenf r d , oemr wonderful lh powers animals.n a t i o v f e ferocity m This ry a is a A in m te b r p u r r e g t h ed in by tam th i e ng Pr t i h e e st fi a e s rc a es f t u o l f l s th at e is b f r a u ct te io c n re t a o ti t o h n e , And e all the panther, a prisonersnd th e are set madeat liberty. So docile in which was a very pleasing vehicle the ip Y on ) his hands as the domestic animals seemed to appear before the curtain. Mr. Van Amburgh repeated his usual feat with the lion, which elicited considerable applause. It would be superfluous to particularise all his feats, which gave universal satisfaction. The scenes of the circle were unusually brilliant, and in this sphere of the performances Mdlle. Onsinago made a debut as an equestrian, performing all the o p era ti ons which a lady devoted to the cultivation of flowers might be expected, even to the autumnal result of producing bouquets, .which she liberally scattered among the company. Signor Chiarrini also made a first appearance, in the feat of riding six horses. He got through this difficult performance with great skill with five horses, but the sixth, though he formed one of the group in the gyrations round the circle, was not actually under rein. It was, however, admirably performed, and elicit e d general applause. Mr. J. Cooke's transitions and evolutions, in the equestrian representation of an interlude, founded on Mr. Dickens' popular Sketches by Boz, in which were represented, with great dexterity and dramatic effect, Mr. Bumble, vain yet cal culating—Fagan, the deep designing Jew—the Artful Dodger, with his comic tricks—Oliver Twist, the poor innocent workhouse boy—concluding with Hippo crates, the God of Silence, bearing the horn of plenty round the world. This gentleman's feats were most enthusiastically applauded. Mr. Adrian, as clown, and Mr. Rochez, as grotesque—the one by his piquant humour and repartee, and the other by his well-known feats—elicited laughter and admiration in succession. The entertainments concluded with the farce " Is he Jealous ?" which was admirably performed, to the perfect satisfaction of the company. The amphi theatre was crowded throughout, even the stage lent its aid to accommodate a portion of the holiday folks during the scenes of the circle. It was a complete bumper, filled to the brim and overflowing. No. 17,341.] LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING A s GOVERNESS.—A.

LEWES, Esq., Author of " Ranthorpe," " A Biographical History of Philosophy," &c. " Mr. Lewes is a teacher as well rs a narrator. The main interest of the story is at times overpowering. There is no book in our re collection where infirmity of purpose is more keenly anatomised or, more successfully demonstratesl."—Examiner. " This novel shows the working of the motives and weaknesses of humanity as they are in real life ; its men and women have their counterparts in the living world : their aspect and conduct are por trayed with a bold and cunning hand ;,they are stirred with the emotions from which humanity cannot escape. The book has its moral : the critical reader will draw it from the incidents as from life itself."—Morning Chronicle. _ EASTER AMUSEMENTS. THE THEATRES, &c. DRURY-LANE. This theatre was well attended last night, a large p. portion of the audience, as is usual during the holidays, being composed of the juvenile members of the human family. The performances being con fined to the circus, did n o t a d m i t o f the customary holiday entertainments. N evert h e l ess , courtesy was shown to the season o n th e par t o f the troupe of the Cirque National de Pa r i s , b y th e i n troduction of several novelties. The m os t striking was a grand equestrian ballet, entitled " Th e Festival of Flowers," in which four cream-coloured horses, ridden by Mesdemoiselles Caroline, Mathilde Fl oren tine, and Ducos and four bays, carryi ng MIL Loisset, Lam bert, Karl!, and Ducos, exhibited an astonishing per fection of training in a variety of most complicated evolutions and involutions, " In mazes intricate, convolved yet regular, Then most when mo s t i rregu l ar t h e y seemed:' Each rider bore a garland of flowers, and the combi nations formed by the different positions of the horses, their riders, and their garlands were extremely pleasing. It is really surprising to witness the high state of per fection the managers have brought the training of that noble animal the h orse ; t hi s was remarkable in the performance of an elegant little blood steed, named " Ater Gull ;" this wonderful creature appears to an ticipate the wishes of its exhibitor, Al. Adolphe Franconi, with almost human adroitness and sagacity, it runs, jumps, dances, or marches, at his command, and, indeed, does almost everything but talk. An other novelty was the " Dance of the Four Globes," a very astonishing feat performed by MM. Henri and Leroy, who, lying on their backs, contrived to keep four globes, about two feet in diameter, in constant motion by throwing them to each other with their hands and feet (the latter possessing an extraordinary prehensile property), twirling them round their limbs, &c. A comic scene by MM. Newcome, Siegrist, and Bassin, called " Rognolet et Passe Carreau," yielded in its broad fun abundant delight to the juvenile part of the audience. The unfor tunate Rognolet is seized by a very small horse, and carried away by his teeth. The " Pas des Grosses Fetes," another novelty, is an extravaganza, wherein MM. Henman, Newsome, and Andre be longing to the an c i en t family of Greathead, or Gros satesta, accomplish sundry exploits upon three horses, though encumbered with head much larger than the rest of their bodies. The " Clown's Misfortunes" and the " Vanquishing Clown" were short pieces, which approached most nearly to the humour of the English pantomime ' • but the wit wanted the broad ness and raciness of the Grimaldi school. The per formances concluded with the " Antipodean Feats" of M. Auriol, who (with M. Leclair and the younger Auriol) relieved by his eccentricities the more serious business of the circus. In this last scene he was surrounded by a shower of fire whilst standing upon his head on the top of a ladder. 'When the perform ances were over, " God save the Queen" was called for, and played by the orchestra.

Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During ene of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since which I have had no return of the complaint. " I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know hew to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, "MICHAEL NASMYTH." The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Ilair'S Gout and Rheumatic Pills, rhich afford speedy relief to those afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the head and face, and all analogous complaints. The never-failing effects of ELAILL'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past er present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the bead or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence.

Reader, remember, this letter was put Into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoae, of the llerbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hal rem her head, after using itabout four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair In abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops on the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mace it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, v.using it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessar y companion to h e toilet. In cas es of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve dro ps on t the erovrn of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter o f ac hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to Physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused • the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief.

HAYMARKET. The Easter no; : elt - y; , at this theatre is " a grand romantic extravaganza, founded on Horace Walpole's " Castle of Otranto." That romance shot up into popularity at once, and has always retained a good place in the general esteem. It forms a very fair subject for a burlesque, though we almost grudge seeing the fool's cap put upon so many of the heroes of our childhood. All our giants have shrunk up, and as for ghosts, it is as much as a decent man's re putation is worth to mention such things with that respect for them in which people were once brought up. To think of a little fat man, with a fur tippet round his neck, strutting out as Manfred, the stern lord of Otranto! Ho wever, there is no help for it ; the town must have its joke, and will take no denial. And if it must be so, we are not at all disposed to quarrel with the way in which the work has been done in this instance. At the opening of the piece we have Man fred (Mr. Keeley) in possession of Otranto as heir of his grandfather, Ricardo, who had seized . . it under a forged will of its late lord, Alphonso. Manfred lives in dread of the accomplishment of the prophecy that the family of Ricardo should reign in Otranto only until the rightful owner should be grown too large to inhabit the castle, and as long as issue male from Ricardo should remain to enjoy it. There is already a claim put forward by the Marquis Vin cenza (Mr. J. Bland), as the nearest though a distant relation of Alphonso. tut Manfred is expecting to make safe his title by the marriage of his only son Conrad with Isabella (Miss Reynolds), who is the daughter and heiress of Vincenzo,. The bridal pro cession, waiting only to ascertain the presence of the bridegroom, is disturbed by a noise in the castle yard. Manfred calls on the whole company to join in " a tremendous demonstration," to suppress what he supposes to be some rioting, put constables' staves into their hands, and appeals to them in mock heroic verse, parodyin g the noble song that has so often stirred the soul o f th e S cot, and beginning— " Specials, w h o b y me are led. " This was the first go o d po i nt in the p i ece ; it told well, put the house i n r i ght humour, and seemed to settle the question of success. The cause o f the in terruption of the wedding is—as in the roman ce, the main points of which are b rought out—t h a t Conrad has been killed by th e f all of an enormous h e lm e t which has suddenly b een f ound in the cas tle. Of course great lamentation is made over him, "poor little chap beneath that great chapeau." To repair his loss, Manfred determines to divorce his wife, Hippolita, (Mrs. W. Clifford), or, as he is pleased to term it, "pass her int o pr i vate life, " and himself to marry Isabella. Hipp o li ta most dut if u lly consents, protesting that she would even l ay down her life for her lord, though, as K ee l ey remarks, on e does not see " where she could lay it." The young lady, how ever, has a will of her own, and her will is not to marry the Baron. Resisting his advances, she is pursued through the subterranean passages of the castle, and escapes by the aid of a young peasant, Theodore (Miss P. H or t on ) . And now and claims his d aughter, bringing nowVincenza match with the giganti c h e l met, and, an immense sword, w hi c h seems o minously to with him w ith an enor mous leg, which has al so start l e d t h e i n habitants of the castle by its appeara nce , g i ves to k en of some ap proaching fulfilment o f th e prop h ecy . Theodore proves to be the true heir to Alphonso, and the lady Isabella gives her band to him. The form of Al phonso appears dilated to a vast size, bursting through the wall of the castle, and the lawful owners, we pre same, are thenceforth to p ossess i t. Th e piece closes with Keeley, reluctant to lay down his ducal crown, declaring— " E'en for my sovereignty I need not fear, For loyalty is universal here;" whereupon he breaks into— " Here's a health to the Queen, God bless her," such a and calls for cheers, presuming that there can be no mistake about the company being " all charged," or they could not have come into the house. This ap peal and all the political allusions were met right loyally ; and the National Anthem was sung amidst great applause. But the political allusions were not the happiest hits in the piece ; the most successful parts of it were the parodies upon popular songs.

Operating upon the materials thus set forth in the " legend," Mr. Stirling Coyne who is the author of the piece, has strung together a ' series of scenes in which poetic justice is done to 1 Gnome King from whose unholy grasp Algea, the Child of Air, 'represented with her usual grace and vivacity by Madame Celeste, is in due course rescued by the opportune t o uch of the sacred water s o f Zea, and all end s happily. The dialogue was pretty smart, and, aided by the superb tableaux, the p i ece passed off very successfully. S -• N APRIL 25, 1848. LYCEU. "Theseu s and Ariadne" is th e title of the Easter burlesque at this theatre, and seeing that Mr. Planche is the author, and that Madame Vestris acts Theseus, and Miss Kathleen fitzvvilliam Ariadne, and that Charles Mathews acts Daedalus (who, lik e Ti me in " Henry V., " is the chorus), an ,i that Mr. Sloman is the machinist, and that Beverley is the scene -painter, it is almost needless to add that the success was complete, and that " the Constellation of the Crown of Ariadne," with which the piece conclud es , was a per f ec t " blaze of triumph." Madame Vestris looked and acted and sung archly, charmingly, and delightfully as ever; her Greek costume is most becoming, and we r l e a d b ga l wonder not at the weaknesses of Ariadne and Phaedra, when we consider the fascinations of Theseus. Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam was admirable as Ariadne, she sung the songs, including almost all the popular airs of the day, with which the part is replete, with exqui site taste, and was deservedly rewarded with re peated encores. She has improved greatly both as an actress and a singer; and is at present one of the best, if not the very best of ballad singers on the stage. There is a naiveté about the acting and singing of this young lady, which is perfectly fascinating. vpps orhheitPhaedra, etdyh, roaaas:neddmv e made ardx yep S prr h heee s e regsfruie w vcifi • e s a t r i ss t ektaadf features,oe lrw a p pearance Jane Coleman, a young lady who, in the character of here last e b v y e n M i n i g ss . stagefih g e profusion,ruret business. asweetin ess .

Mr. Maddox provided liberal fare for the Easter holiday folks who honoured his establishment with their presence last night. There were two novelties —" The Nightingale," an operetta, in which the charming Anna Thillon made her re entree, and "Esmeralda," a grand ballet, introducing several new artists—besides a couple of pieces already sanc tioned by public approval. Le Brun's " Rossignol" (" The Nightingale") has been a stock piece in every town of France and Belgium where an opera can be mounted for the last thirty years. The libretto is a pastoral, treating of the loves of Lubin and Phillis, two peasants, stamped with the attributes of candour asd simplicity that appertain especially to the age of the Galateas and Estellas, celebrated by Cervantes and Florian. Phillis (Madame Anne Thillon) is fond of singing, and Lubin (Mr. Barker) plays upon the flute with a facility that is the more to be admired considering the times in which he is supposed to live. Lubin woos Phillis by means of his musical talent, serenading her night and morning at her window, and echoing her songs with the tones of his instrument, which are so mellifluous that the neighbours, with bucolic art lessness, mistake them for the voice of the nightin gale. This courtship is carried on so effectually, that in spite of the rival suit of a powerful " baillie ' (Mr. Weiss), who is favoured by Mathurin (Mr. Bodda), the subservient progenitor of Phillis, the lovers bring matters about according to their wishes, and are ultimately united, to the great joy of them selves and everybody else, even the baillie. The music is remarkable for nothing beyond a certain flow of unaffected tune, which rarely fails to captivate the many. The opportunities for display of florid vocalization are successfully used, and these were ad mirably exemplified by Madame Anna Thillon, who, besides her clever and expressive singing, acted with fascinating sprightliness, and looked the prettiest Phillis that was ever wooed by faithful shepherd. She was received with the greatest enthusiasm by the audience, and was, indeed, the main support of the piece, which, through her exertions, achieved complete success. Mr. Weiss, who appeared for the first time this season, made the best of the small part of the Baillie, and , sang the music allotted to him with musician like correctness. Messrs. Barker. and Bodda took great pains with their respective parts. At the fall of the curtain Madame Thillon was recalled, and ap peared with Mr. Weiss and Mr. Barker. The well known musical piece of " The Sultana" (with Ma dame Thillon as the Roxalana), and a farce, called "Mammon and Gammon," followed " The Nightin gale." In the latter, through the non-appearance of one of the performers, Mr. Harris had to read the part (rather a long one) from a book, and accom plished his task with singular facility; the farce was altogether well acted by Miss Villars, one of the most intelligent and entertaining of soubrettes, Mrs. 11. Hughes, Mrs. Selby, Messrs. James Vining (who is as young, vivacious, and bustling as ever), S. Cowell, Wynn, &c., and was received with shouts of laughter throughout. The performances terminated with the ballet of " Es meralda," whi c h un d er the superintendence of Mr. Fi exmore has been most skilfully adapted to the di mensions and resources of this little theatre.

Le Clerq and Ma thilde, in the course of which several steps were loudly encored. The subordinate parts of Aloise, Phcebus, and Clopin were carefully filled by Miss Cuthbert and MM. Zavystowski and Paulo. The ballet was most favourably received from beginning to end, and Mdlle. Auriol was forced to re-appear at the fall of the curtain. The house was very full. MARYLEBONE. The exquisite judgment which Mrs. Warner dis played last night in the entertainments she provided for Easter Monday has never been exceeded since this truly elegant little theatre has been under her management. Instead of resorting to any meritri cious or holiday style attractions, she relied upon the good taste of her friends and the judicious portion of the public for support, and proffered them in return what, now-a• days, unfortunately, is to be rarely enjoyed —a genuine representation of one of Shak spere's plays. To this end she engaged Macready— a name that has not undeservedly become endeared to the lovers of the "legitimate" drama—though why legitimate, by the-by, we never could rightly under stand. Be that as it may, Macready appeared, and performed his part : but before we speak of him let us notice one peculiar feature of the evening. Boxes, pit, and gallery, were crowded, the latter to the very ceiling ; it was Easter Monday . ; and yet not a whisper was heard from any part of the house during the whole of the performance. This is literally true. To what is this to be ascribed ? Partly, no doubt, to the understood spirit in which this theatre is conducted,—that of an endeavour to create a taste for the drama; but partly also, we hope, despite of the perversions that men of sinister minds would give to the feelings and tastes of the people, to the im proved habits of those who are more particularly ac customed to avail themselves of these seasons of relaxation to resort to such places. It would be a work of supererogation to speak of Mr. Macready's performance of Hamlet. His excellencies are already well known, and his faults—for he is not without them—are as well understood; but what avails it to note either the one or the other? He delights, he impresses, he absorbs—and that is acting. Tears rau down many a fair cheek while he portrayed the harrowed feelings of a sop, grieved more for the sin of a mother than for the unnatural murder of a much-loved father. We. enter not into the metaphy sics of the character. Its anlaysis has been done by better hands, and so often repeated that it would be a kind of plagiarism to dwell upon it. Mr. Macready reads the part, in our judgment, most correctly :—we never lose sight of the assumed madnesss of Hamlet ; that assumption, however, though always subservient to his ultimate intent, is never obtrusive or self-be traying. He subdues it "to the bent of his humour." In his soliloquies Mr. Macready has acquired a style that, while it challenges our judgment, nevertheless gratifies our wishes. We are pleased, — and yet criticism would say there was a liberty in it which strict propriety would condemn. He sometimes de scends into a colloquial tone that jars sadly with the passion that the previous passages, delivered with the intensest energy, have excited. It is as if he were exhausted, and lapsed into a momentary state of in sensibility. But time tells with all of us, and Macready is not quite so young as he was when he first delighted London audiences. Mrs. Warner per formed Gertrude ; the character has nothing agree oabwfl le tmaster, probabilityhoingeayh, agree able about it. The chamber scene is the only oppor tunity afforded her for any display, and there that churchyard, with lady sustained the higla reputation she has justly ac alrwaiaay.s the Nr ac quired. Miss Huddart, as Ophelia, acquitted her t self very creditably, but she sang the snatches of which, i songs in rather too ambitious a spirit.

Some tolerable dancing relieved the general tedium of the piece, which would still have passed off tamely, but for four nigger songs, well sung by American Palmer. These snatches were highly relished by the audience, who encored thrice, receiving a new song at each turn. In the early portions of the piece some good hits were made at passing events, espe cially where a facsimile of an ex• Chancellor was brought before the Caliph of Bagdad, praying to be invested with the privileges of a new country, re taining those of his native land. We should deal unfairly were we not to state that Mr. Davidge, as the Grand Vizier, behaved uncommonly well towards an ungracious part, and also did his duty by the man agement—learning the words of his role, a virtue not prevalent last evening. With considerable cutting— most unsparing cutting—this burlesque may be ren dered somewhat more interesting. V ICI O.RIA. The performances here were more highly seasoned than usual in honour of the holidays. The first piece bore the interesting title of " Rose Clinton, the Vic • tim of Circumstantial Evidence." Mr. J. T. Johnson enacted a young mechanic, the " victim " in question, who is persecuted throughout the piece for a murder and one or two robberies, of which he is innocent. His troubles, however, end—or begin, according to opinion—with the last scene, when he is united to the heroine. The latter character is supported by Miss Vincent, with her usual success; Mr. W. Searle rendered a villain of the conventional cast with the requisite breadth of effect; and se vera l comic gentlemen had opportunities of displayin g their talents. A musical drama, entitled " Jean nette and Jeannot, or the Conscript's Bride," followed. It is founded upon the recently-pub lished " Songs of a Conscript," which are so well known throughout the metropolis. It is, of course, a love story: the hero, a peasant of Picardy, is drawn for the conscription, and the heroine expresses in her farewell song to him her fears " that he'll for get all the promises he made " directly he is out of her sight. He withstand s t emp t at i on, h owever, and eventually is united to Jeannette, who has meantime refused several brilliant offers. Considerable amuse ment was created, and not a little confusion, by a noisy and sustained demand by the gallery of a hornpipe from Jeannot, which a pathetic appeal from that gentleman, who represented the incongruity of such a proceeding in a French subject, scarcely sufficed to silence. The audience were as numerous and noisy as could be desired, and occupied every part of the theatre, not only within sight of the stage, but in places where no part of the perform ances could possibly be seen. CREMORNE GARDENS. These gardens came in for a fair share of public patronage yesterday. The new balloon, built by L ieut. Gale, and announced to ascend for the first time from the grounds, being a prominent feature of the attrac tion. The " sight-seers" were, however, doomed to disappointment in this particular, the weather render ing it utterly impossible for the ascent to take place. The disappointment was, however, fully compensated for by the varied character of the entertainments, and the announcement that the balloon would positively ascend on Wednesday next, when the ceremony of christening would take place, was satisfactorily re ceived. In addition to which, the novelty of the ap pearance of the Female American Serenaders, fr om the St. Jamse's Rooms, is announced. THE COLOSSEUM. magnificent establishment was opened yester season. During the tim e th at i t h as been closed n d o a w yT hft This h srg the it e i wholeha as of the ree sand completega galleries erie s and e sculptures and works of art contained in them appear as fresh as when they were originally opened for public exhibition. Ihe cavern, the conservatories, Swiss cottage, and the external portions are as attrac tive as ever, and are very deserving of a visit from the curious and all who admire the illusions by which art and mechanism can copy closely the appearance of nature. Great preparations are being made to produce a grand pictorial view of Paris, in the place of that of London ; and the immense gallery on the south side of the building will shortly be opened with the exhibition of a series of moving views. The inclemency of the weather operated to prevent the usual number of visitors assembling ; there were, how ever, as many people in the rooms as could have been expected. THE DIORAMA, REGENT'S PARK. This popular exhibiadn bad its full proportion of visitors, though the weather was sufficiently bad to keep the great majority of those who generally pay their visits on Easter Monday at home. The new picture, " Mount /Etna," loses none of its attractions by,being seen two or three times ; indeed, it should be seen more than once if a correct judgment of its merits is to be formed. The artist has not indulged in imagination so much as some of his contempo raries, but has been content to give a good copy of nature as it is : consequently, though the picture ha a not the attraction of a scenic or theatrical represen STRAND. The entertainments at this theatre last evening commenced with Boyle Barnard's popular drama of " Woman's Faith," in which we were glad to see our old favourite Tarnold, who sustains one of the leading parts, has again joined the company of this theatre, and last evening he acted with his accus tomed ability and care. The character of De Lisle found an efficient representative in Air. H. Cooper. Among the new engagements we find Mr. Craven, a painstaking actor, and Miss E. Be w. When this lady has become more acquainted with stage business she will be an acquisition. The Easter novelty was a burlesque, entitled " Sir Rupert the Fearless, a Legend of the Rhine," it contains an abundance of excellent jokes and puns on the passing topics of the day—it was quite successful. Oxberry sustained the character of the gallant hero capitally, and Mdlle. L. Blanche acquitted herself with her usual excellence. Romer, as the esquire Tristram, made the most of his character, which was much relished by the audience. The entertainments concluded with "The Crummleses," in which Mr. Bender hit the character of the country manager to the life, it was laughable in the extreme to witness the miseries of a manager during a rehearsal. The house was well and re spectably filled. SADLER'S' WELLS. Last night Mr. Love appeared on the boards of Sadler's Wells Theatre, and presented the holiday folks with an exhibition of his unrivalled ventrilo quical powers, in a series of amusements, which were given under the title of " Love's Entertainments anel Lucubrations." Part the first represented a full length portrait of Mr. Sombre Dismal, who was described as a character who hated laughing, and made the reverses of his life the sources of his plea sure. A Mr. Cornelius Chockfull, with his juvenile grandson and the man-cook Peter, were next intro duced, in which Mr. Love exhibited the extraordinary power he possesses, in associatiag the vocal organs to the different stages in life of youth and old age. The representations of a young lady, a Miss Lexicon, who is always talking, was a portrait accurately delineated, exhibiting an aspiring female, who, from unavoidable circumstances, had been placed in a situation to obtain a livelihood by teaching " the young idea how to shoot." The imitation of a gen tleman, a Mr. B. Hind, " who is always in the rear," caused continual laughter, as did also the impersona tion of a Mr. Patchkettle, " a genuine living London character," or "a classical, poetical, sentimental, and march-of. intellect tinker," who was always discours ing upon political economy. the amusements con cluded with an entertainment, on a novel construc tion, with new costumes and arrangements, written and arranged by Mr. H. Hall, which was entitled " The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing." The plot arises out of a mistake from an admission having been obtained into a dentist's shop by Mr. Wolf, when he practices the art of tooth-drawing upon his master, Mr. Grampus, who submits to the operation, - he, at the time, being sup posed not to be aware that the operator is his own servant. Mr. Love represents, en propria persona, Mr. Grampus, Mrs.. Grampus (who accompanies her husband to support him while the unfortunate tooth is being extracted), and the Dentist, Mr. Crackjaw. The transformations of the characters, and the won derful power of counterfeiting the voice of each person, was done to the life, and elicited the most unbounded applause. Throughout the various re presentations, Mr. Love maintained the most perfect identity of the character he pourtrayed, and the de ception was rendered the more complete by the adap tation of the dresses to the parts. In the course of the evening Mr. Roberts, the Welsh harpist, played several celebrated Welsh airs. The whole of the en tertainments gave the highest satisfaction to a crowded house. SURREY. This house, as a matter of course, was crammed from the fluor to the ceiling with a somewhat noi s y , but, upon the whole, good-humoured audience; and the new season, under the direction and management of Mr. Kerschner, has commenced with every pros pect of success. During the short recess, various improvements have been made ; a considerable portion of the theatre has been re-embellished and renovated, thus increasing the comfort of the frequenters. of this favourite place of amusement. The pertormaneEs commenced with a drama, acted some five years ago, entitled " The Bohemians ; or, the Mysteries of Crime," which served for the re-introduction o f severar old favourites, including. Messrs. E. F. N. T. Hicks, Dale, Lewis, R. Honner, Mrs. Donner, and Miss Eliza Terry ; who, at the conclusion of the pi e ce, were recalled, and acknowledged the compli ment in the ueual manner. The comedietta, entitled " Ladies Beware," was not well received, the audience being impatient for the commencement of the ppl fre to frequent t pantomime. The interruptions were so that Mr. Saville at length made an a ea audience on behalf of Mrs. Saville and expressing a hope that no further unmanly of their duty. Air a s ite D m a p l ts , wo uld be made to prevent the discharge This well merited reproof had s the piece was at length concl uded, meli g tt r l e e at e l ff y ec t t o , and satisfaction of the major pa r t of the audience. The great attraction of the evening was " an entirely new fairy comic pantomime," founded on the well-known
