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--sand that is acting. Tears rau down many a fair cheek while he portrayed the harrowed feelings of a son, 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 p leased, —and y et 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.

"Theseus and Ariadne" is the title of the Easter burlesque at this theatre, and teeing that Mr. Planche is the author, and that Madame Vestris acts Theseus, and Miss Kathleen fitzwilliam Ariadne, and that Charles Mathews acts Daedalus (who, like Time in "Henry V.," is the chorus), and 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 concludes, was a perfect " blaze of triumph." Madame Vestris looked and acted and sung archly, charmingly, and delightfully as ever; her Greek costume is most becoming, and we 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 singeo; and is' at present one of the best, if not the very best of ballad singers on the stage. There is a naivete about the acting and singing of this young lady, which is perfectly fascinating. She was admirably supported by Miss Jane Coleman, a young lady who, in the character of Phaedra, made her first appearance here last evening. She has every requisite for success in her profession, pretty and expressive features, a good figure, a sweet voice, and a •perfect knowledge of stage business. What little she had to, d m o je l s ast m n ar ig a h h t all, was u wel c l done. upid, Miss Jane Coleman is an acquisition to the mischievous 1 - god himself, and Charles Mathews as Da2clalus,•' of the piece but not in it, acted with that agreeable nonchalance which and • d looked d um no one can assume but himself , but sa h n i g s , f o a r t • e e r cit a e nd a rather Mathew-ised (for none like), divers comic medley himself could ever do .d t e ima ' able gin Hall was a glorious in the grotesque nessr.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. 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 mazy 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 et 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 fro tither invariable co nsequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap bf7yqbunednttliyie, r b e i a tt , h e r b r f o n a c r t o . us 1 alike e n r t , e s r t t ri a n t a ft n t d these pr pl yg to a qualified' phy s i c i an for relief.

This theatre Was well attended last night, a large p. oportion of th e au di ence, 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 not admit of the customary holiday entertainments. Nevertheless, a courtesy was shown to the season on the part of t h e t rou pe of the Cirque N a ti ona l d e P ar i s, by the intro d uc ti on of several novelties. Th e most striking equestrian ballet, en titl e d " T he Festival o f Fl o wers, in which f o ur cream - co l oured horses, r idden by Mesdemoiselles Car o li ne , M ath i lde, Fl oren tine, and Ducos and four b a y s , carry i ng MM. L o i sse t, Lam. bert, Karll, and D ucos, exh i bited an aston i s hi ng per fection of trai n i ng i n a variety of most comp licated evolutions and inv o l u ti ons, was a gralid„ .. I n mazes intricate, convolved yet regular. Then most when most irregular they 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 ; this was remarkable in the performance of an el egant li tt l e bl oo d s teed, named " Atar Gull ;" this wonderf u l creature appear to an ticipate the wishes of its. exhibitor, M. A dol p he Franconi, with almost human ad ro itness 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. New-come, Sißgrist, and Bassin, called "Rognolet et Passe Carreau," yielded in its broad fun abundant delight to the juvenile part of the audience. The unfor4 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, Newcome, and Andre be longing to the a nc 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- Prss and raciness of the Grimaldi school. The per formances concluded with the " Antipodean Feats" of M. Auriol, who (with M. sLeclair 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. HAYMARKET. The Easter novelty at this theatre is " a grand romanticextravaganza," 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 its 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 (\lr. 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 Vi ncenza. T he , b r idal pro. cession, waiting only to as cer t a i n t h e presenc e of the bridegroom, is disturbed by a no i se i n 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, parodying the noble song that has so often stirred the soul of th e S cot, and beginning— " Specials, who by me are led." This was the first good point in the piece ; it told well, put the house in right humour, and seemed to settle the question of success. The cause of the in terruption of the wedding is—as i n th e romance, the main points of which ar e b roug h t out—t h a t Conrad has been killed by the f a ll o f an enormou s helmet "Which has suddenly been f oun d i n t h e ca stle. Of course, great lamentation is mad e ov er him, "poor little chap beneath that grea t c h apeau. " his loss,' Manfred determi nes to di vorce Hippolita, (Mrs. W. Clifford), or , as h e is pleased to term it, "pass her into pri va t e lif e, " and himself to Th his repair wife, marry Isabella. Hippolita most dutifully consents, protesting that she would even lay down her life for her lord; though, as Keeley remarks, one does not subterraneanst see " where she could lay it." The young lady , how ever, has a will of her ow n , an d h er w ill is not , to pmarrypursued dthe through ßaron. the passages of the Resiin his a dvances, she is castle, and escapes by th e a id o f a youn g peasant, Theodore (Miss P. Horton). A n d n ow Vincenza comes and claims his dau g ht er , b r i ng i n g with him an immense .sword, which seems ominously to match with the gigantic helmet, and, w ith an enor mous leg, which has also startled th e inhabitants of the castle by its appearance, gives token of some ap proaching fulfilment of the prophecy. Theodore proves to be the true heir to Alphonso, and the lady Isabella gives her hand 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 sume' are thenceforth to possess it. The 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," 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_ al lus i o ns most were not parts of .it were the parodies_ .up on ald Ii p o pu l a r in songs , the happiest hits in the piece ; t h e most successful Much of the punning was Wh was 's taste. - not something to suit every y en the ° bation was • curtain fell, a sentence of app given given in from all sides , and there,wa,s no t a..dissen tient voice. quantity of it, it wOuld be v b e h r a y d rd indeed if there such The acting was very good, and the piece will probably have a run: • . ' . entitled ADELPI-11. A grand fairy spectacle for med the Easter novelty at this snug little theatre. It is "Th e Fountain of Zea; or, the Child of Air,' and i s one of those romantic extravaganzas which, compounded o f smart dialogue, absurd situat ions, and g or geous scenic effects and tableaux, form a melan g e no t by an same rendezvous age s , st i ll means inharmonious, and, w hen well g ot up, highl y entertaining. From the bills we learn th at the scen e is laid in the beautiful island of Zea, ce lebrated by Thomas Moore in his " Eve nin g s in Gre„e.,, An antique fountain, at which t he n y m p hs of, the i s l an d existswere wont i n i ts t o original assemble as it was formerly for the y oun g women oft h e island, w h o me t there to dance a nd s ing the " S ongs of the Well," a s they were call ed a mongst the an cient Greeks. This fountain is re g a rded with pecu liar venerati on by the inhabitants , who preserv e as state—the tet—hethe earliest tradition, that—" Whatever good spirit touches its water once, becomes subservient to the will of the demon of evil; but that should the waters touch the good spirit a second tirne, the evil one loses his power, I and, in his turn, becomes the slave of the being b e sought to subdue." Opera tin g u p o n the materials thus set forth in the " legend," Mr. Stirling Coy ne, who is the author of the piece, has strung together, a series of scenes in which poetic justice is done to a 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 touch of the sacred waters of Zea, and all en d s h a ppily. The dialogue was pr e tt y smart and, aided by the superb tableaux, the pieee p asse ,' of f very st.;oee-ssfully. PRINCESS'S. 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 " Esrneralda," a grand ballet, introducing several new artists—besides a couple of pieces already sanc tioned by public approval. Le Bran'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 avid 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 thatis 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 lance, 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 fascinatingsprightliness, 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. H. 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,"' which under the superintendence of Mr. Flexrnore has been most skilfully adapted to the di mensions and resources of this little theatre. Who that has not seen "Esmeralda " at her Majesty's Theatre, that has not admired the graceful Carlotta Grisi, and laughed at the admirable Perrot, has yet to behold and delight in the pearl of ballets, the most ethereal of ballerines, and the most humorous of male choregraphs. We have nothing now to say of the story of " Esmeralda," which finds its ma terials in Victor Hugo's magnificent romance "Notre Dame de Paris." It is enough to re late that the manner in which it has been placed upon the stage of the Princess's Theatre is highly creditable to the establishment. The dances are care fully arranged and executed with infinite spirit by a numerous and efficient corps de ballet, the scenery, by Messrs Brunning and Grey, is characteristic and beautiful, especially the first and last scenes—" A distant view of Paris " and "Notre Dame by moonlight ;" t h e action is well kept up, and the mise en scene altogether in the best taste. Poor. Signor Pugni was the only sufferer, his music being so fearfully ill-used by the orchestra as to be s carcely recognisable. Mdlle. Auriol, a daughter of the celebrated French clown from the Cirque Olim pique, was the Esmeralda of the evening; she is a good pantomimist a n d d ances with great vigour and facility. Mr. Flexmore was humorous and.amusing as Gringoire, but his. performance was occasionally wanting in refinement. The, famous Truandaise, however, was admirably danced by both, and received with shouts of applause, and the pas de deux in the second tableau, where Esmeralda teaches *Gringoire to dance, was encored. Quasimodo was sustained with great melodramatic emphasis by M. Le. Clerq, and M. Deulin made the monk, Claude Frolic., more mysterious and s h a d owy t h an usua l. A mo ng the in termediate dan ce s, w hi c h at t rac t e d m os t attention an applause were a pas de deux by Mdlles.'

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 vihy 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 ga lle r y, were crowded, the latter to the ver y . ceiling ; it was Easter Menday ; 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 4heatie is conducted,—that of an endeavour to create a taste for : the drama ; but' partly 'also, _we hope, despite of the perver - sions - that men of sinister minds would give to the feelings and . tastes of the people,qo the' im proved habits of those who are more particularly ac customed; to siva- themselves of these seasons of relaxation to resort to such places. It would be 'a 4 work of supererogation to speak of N.r. l‘laeready's OLYMPIC. After the play of " Brutus," in which Mr. Gus tavus Brooke made his second appearance as the hero a new Easter Extravaganza, entitled " A Mission to Borneo," was produced here last night. The fun (?) of this " Historical, Indian, Naval, and Military Ballet Burlesque," as the bill calls it, consists in the adventure's of Sinbad the Sailor, the mission to Borneo forming his second voyage. lie is accom panied by a certain Grand Vizier, but what the pur pose of their expedition is we should be loth to state with any pretensions to accuracy. 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. 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 Yarnold, 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 Mr. H. Cooper. Among the new engagements we find Mr. Craven, a painstaking actor, and Miss E. Bew. 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 rr 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 Sadlet.% Wells Theatre, and presented the holiday tolks with an exhibition of his unrivalled ventrilo quical powers, in a series of amusements, which were given under he title of " Love's Entertainments and 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 INlr. 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, cn 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 floor to the ceiling with a somewhat noisy, but, upon the whole, good-humoured aud ience; 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 performances commenced with a drama, acted some five years ago, entitled " The Bohemians; or, the Mysteries o f .Crime," which served for the reintroduction o f several old favourites, including Messrs. E. F. Saville, an T. Hicks, Dale, Lewis, R. Honner, Mrs. Ho and Miss Eliza Terry ; who, at the conclusion of the, pie e c n e t , i w n e t r h e e r n e e c u a a ll iin ed, n a n n n d er. ack a n ,h o e w e le o d n g ie e d d ie t t. h ta e , compli ment Ladies Beware," was not wellreeeived, the audience being impatient for commen cement ap p e a l o t f o theth the pan t o mime.

He has newly decorated and fitted up his theatre in the most tasteful style to welcome Easter and its wonted pets 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 f e e 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 no t disappointed. Van Amburgh and his lions, leopardle and tigers, were the great attraction of the night, an d in order to introduce his wonderful feats, a piece was produced entitled " Morok, the Beast Tamer," founded on Eugene Sue's celebrated work, " Tfie Wandering Jew." The plot is as follows :—Arniand 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 serve 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 o m fortunate e in terventionne quern ` ted with the intentions of the na t ives, and &- termines to save the life of his mistress. In this he asbec succeeds, and bears her to his own retreat. In the meantime Blanval and his companions ha ve been con prisoners, of Armand Cecil rescued p ng a r onlya whoby theh con signed to the tender mercies of the wild beasts as an offering to the Hindoo Deity, Bramah. As they are borne to their doom Cecile rushes in, receives her husband, and expresses her determination to share his fate. At this juncture Armand makes his ap pearance, and the Priest having announced that the Deity would be appeased by the sacrifice of one power e r r iv t a h l at fro c m onv t e h r e ts fe t a h r e f m ul f f r, it o t m e w th h e i i c r h individual who would willingly devote himself to The e offer i sbyactcheeptpedri,eDstuagsaard full l l exposeds asatisfaction b to . save the lives of his friends, he generously offers bhiamsstsefovaesrawvhicotmim, however, o w r e e v s e c r ue h h e i s e q x u e o r n c s a e m s a mistress, m y s t ie into the mildest and most amiable animals. naatwaiv much for the piece, which was a very pleasing interpreted Deity, and all the prisoners are set at liberty. So for the exhibition of the wonderful powers of Mr. Van Amburgh in taming the fiercest of the brute creation, the lion, the panther, and the tiger, made as docile in his hands as the domestic animals seemed to appear before the curtain. Mr. Van Arnburgh 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 operations 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. lie 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, admiribli performed, and elicited 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 plerr:y 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 " It. 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, tilled to the brim and overflowing. oe i tntsfv:ye teret.hohochwi iyedes' VICJ OJ.UA. 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 be 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 several comic gentlemen had opportunities of displaying 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 p easan t 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 withstands temptation, however, 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 ;;o 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 st-en. C.REMORNE GARDENS. These gardens came in ior a fair share of publio patronage yesterday. The new balloon, built by Lieut. Gale, and announced to ascend for the first time from the grounds, being a prominent texture of the attrac tion. The " sight-seers" were, however, doome;l to disappointment in this particular, the weather ren-iPr, ing it utterly impossible for the ascent to take ple.kV,. The disappointment was, however, fully compensa' for by the varied character of the entertainments, an 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 Serenader s , f rom the St. Jamse s Rooms, is announced. THE COLoSSEIIIII. This m agnificent establishm en t was opened yester day lor the season. Durin g th e t i me that it has been c l os ed it has unoergone a complete renovation, and now the whole of the rooms and galleries and all the sculptures and works of art contained in them appear as fresh as when th ey were or i g i na )i v opene d f or public exhibition. 'I he cavern, the conservatories, Swiss cottage, an d t h e external port i ons 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 -1 ever, as many people in the rooms as could have been expected. THE DIORAMA, REGENT'S PARK. This popular exhibition had 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 imacination 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 pi Lure has not the attraction of a scenic or theatrical represen-
