PUBLIC AMUSEMENTS. traction—is that of the great Oasis and sacred wa ter of Zimzim. In this scene the gradual rising of the sun upon the desert is beautifully managed, as is the appearance of the wild simoom which follows. The effect of the dreaded simoom is presented on the stage, and with it closes the first act of the spectacle. The scene of the second act is laid in France, the time being that of the reign of Louis XV. The act opens with the palace, terrace, gardens, and fountains at Versailles, being a most effective scene. The fountain—a real one—would do credit to the gardens of a real palace. In the crowded theatre, heated as it of course was, the very sound of the water was cooling and refreshing. The second concludes with a very excellent representation of the fair of St. Germain, with its multitude of visitors. In the third act, the scene is laid in England, in the year 1732, and is very effective, concluding with a grand equestrian tableau. The piece has been dra matised by Moncrieff from Eugene Sue's romance, " L'Arabian Godolphin, ou L'llistoire d'un Cheval." The first act is interspersed with portions cf Felicien David's popula ;symphonic ode oriental, "Le Desert." The whole piece is put upon the stage in a style which reflects the highest credit on the management. The dresses are magnificent, After the spectacle came Alons. Tournare's celebrated troop of French equestrians. The performance of these artistes is wonderful, for itz intrepidity and daring, and highly pleasing from its elegance. They perform upon their own horses, brought expressly from France, attended by their own grooms. This engagement must have been made at an enormous expense to Mr. Batty, but we feel confident that the result will amply realise his expectations. Madame Louise is the most elegant horsewoman we have ever seen, and the command slich Madame Klatt has ac• quired over her steed is astonishing, and, as the play bills say, may be termed the ne plus ultra of the eques trian art. Every one ought to visit Astley's. For elegant amusement and delightful recreation it stands now almost without a rival. The house last nigh was overflowing.' By order, JOHN RITHBONE, Secretary, 4, Coleman-street, May 13, 1845. Daily (Sundays included). * Observe ! The Trains start one quarter of an hour before each of these times. LYCEUM. The new burlesque of Cinderella is " a hit, a most palpable hit"—as a spectacle superior to Aladdin, and equal to Valentine and Orson, or Whittington, in wit and fun, and humour and satire. It is a good idea that of making the wandering Prince the identical Rodolph of Gerolstein, who is the hero of the Mysteries of Paris. The idea is well worked out, and the piece is a capital quiz upon Eugene Sue's great work. Wigan as Rodolph and Mrs. Keeley as Cinderella were admirable. They convulsed the house with laughter by their humorous imitations of Macready and Helen Faucit. Never was there a more laughable imitation. The ball scene was gorgeous, and in this, too, Mrs. Keeley gave an admirable imitation of Lucile Grahn in the " Mazurka d'extase, while J. W. Collier, as her partner, was quite "up" to all the mannerisms of Perrot. The last scene, however, was the triumph—thirty-six English children, "Les Danseuses Anglaises," pupils of Mr. Frampton, gave the "Pas de Fleurs " and the ' " Pas des Moissonneurs "—and verily the Viennoise must look to their laurels. There was a perfect hurricane of applause at the conclusion, and it was encored; the audience loudly called for a third repetition, hut Mr. Frampton came forward and expressed a hope that the audience would not insist on an encore, as it might fatigue the children. The justice of this appeal was acknowledged, and the piece was an nounced for repetition by Keeley, who, as Capil laire, the servant of the Prince, had contributed greatly to the success of the piece by his inimitable drollery.

This line, which will eommeuce at Leicester, and proceed from thence by or, near to Market Harborough, Rothwell, Kettering, Wel lingborough, to Bedford, is intended to supply the wants of a very rich and thickly populated district of country lying between Leicester and Bedford, and to afford a much shorter and more direct commu nication between the first mentioned place and London. The existing and projected lines of railway form the most direct route from Manchester, Leeds, Derby, Sheffield, Nottingham, and the North of England to London, by way of Leicester, and the present line will be the nearest one from that place to the metropolis which exists or can be projected. The line will pass through the richest grazing land in the kingdom, and will derive a considerable traffic in the conveyance of cattle from thence to the London markets. The coal-fields of Leicestershire and Derbyshire will supply, by means of this railway, the wants of the counties of Bedford, Hunt iug4on,arlo of c Hertford, Essex, w hich will be reduced i n p r i ce a t l eas t 501. sex, and Cambridge, in this m os t necessary per cent.

Last night this snu g little theatre opened f o r th e summer season, with a new drama, in three acts, called London by Night, and which contains some amusing sketches of low life. Miss Waite and Mr. W. H. Harvey danced the Polka, after the play was concluded, so much to the satisfaction of the audience, that they were loudly applauded, and ob liged to dance it a second time. An extravaganza named Robinson Crusoe, or the Adventures ef a Friday, followed—a laughable sort of hodge-poilge. De omnibus rebus et quibusdam aliis. A good many comic songs are jumbled up in it. Miss Pattison sung one to the air of " My beautiful Rhine," and Miss Bromley another to the air of " By the margin of fair Zurich's waters," in very good style. On the whale, we should say, the piece succeeded—the main object of such a composition being to make the au dience laugh, no matter how or wherefore. The performances concluded with a farce, called Clair voyance, in which Miss H. Wallcott took the prin cipal part, and showed much diversity of humour. Robinson Crusoe, and London by Eight, were an nounced for the week, and the announcement was followed by the plaudits of the audience. . . ~xe . h m iu o it s e t aathes gar dens - , - 1 - C" . . • xll. • 1 4: 4 ' r / 11 . • V . • 1 / 4 10 q' 1 ,5 4 : 1 }- , - • st \,, `i"hris 41444 e. :e 7 _ 4 7:1 '6 . , . - prospe rous. . j :717 - 7:1 g•R - , , r et- . •. 1 . - .\4lbRJ -- , I , j % -- f DiEti i tol 4. cP4 . • • . . . VAUXHALL GARDENS. Vauxhall Gardens, which hare been c 1( some years, were re-opened last night under Alivifif.) nagement of Mr. H. Wardell. The interior has been thoroughly cleaned and painted ; the walks have been newly laid out, and no expense appears to have been spared to make these grounds what they were many years ago--a favourite,place of resort for the middle and upper classes. Many rumours had got about re specting them—it was confidently stated that a rail way terminus, spacious warehouses, and manufac tories, were to be erected on their site. These pro phecies, however, it would appear, were not destined to be fulfilled—and the doors, as we have said, were thrown open to the public last night, and shortly after the gardens were very well filled. A band of 100 performers played a number of national and other airs at intervals during the evening— some pretty songs and duets were sung in the orchestra. A ballet entitled Myra was produced in the rotunda. Among the many attractions offered to the visitor may be mentioned the Golden Temple of Honan, which was beautifully illuminated; the Eruption of Etna, with the destruction of the City of Catena, the dissolving views, &c. The fire-works, under the management of Mr. Darby, were on a scale of great magnitude, and elicited loud applause. Joel H. Diavola d escen d e d f rom a cons i derable height on a single wire during the display. A handsome ball room has been erected for dancing, after the fire works, which presents a view of the Valley of Sweet Waters on the Barbyses. The illuminations, consist-- inn of 20,000 l amps , were, i f possible, on a more mag nificent scale than ever. The covered walks have been greatly extended, and, in the event of rain, the visitors are sure to escape being drenched. The mantle of the immortal Simpson has fallen upon Mr. Widdicomb, for many years the Master of the Ring at Astley's, who is a very efficient Master of the Ceremonies. ROYAL ADELAIDE GALLERY. With very great pleasure we mingled:4lth an exceedingly numerous company last evening, in this most interesting Institution, after its recent much regretted interruption. As it is the first of theltiud established, we believe, in the world, and has always been considered by us with especial regard, and we are sure that the prospect which last night's attendance, philosophical exhibition, lectures and lighter enter tainments open for a retur n o f p a t ronage an d a l ong I career of success, must be hailed with gratification, by all who wish instruction to be made attractive, science popular, and refined amusements multiplied and presented in the most inviting form to the public. The decorations of the Gallery are, in many respects, superior to the former embellishments, and the lighting, by night especially,- is far more agree able now, than we know of in any other building of the same size. The chandeliers are of novel design and peculiar elegance, and whilst the effect of the light is brilliant, it is not dazzling or oppressive. A new and exceedingly pretty theatre for ballets has beeen erew:ted in a situation to place the artistes in clear and conspicuous view to every part of the house. The avowed intention, however, of the new mana gers, is to make the Institution that for which it was originally designed, a " Gallery of Practical Science" —not exclusively, indeed, but to a great degree, mo dified only by the expediency of varying the in struction of the graver kind with musical and other entertainments of a high order. Amongst the most important of the scientific lectures of yesterday were those of Mr. Phillips on his inventions— The Ship Preserver," and the "Fire Annihilator." - -Of these the principles are simple, and the apparatus not complicated. The model in the Gallery is a cylinder having pipes for the water to escape, and is connected with two smaller cylinders in which carbonic acid gas is generated. The pressure of the gas causes the water to rise in the pipes, and to fly up to a height proportionate to the pressure. The power which can thus be obtained is very great, and seems well worthy of trial on a scale of greater magni tude, and for a practical purpose. The in ventor considers that it would be highly useful in the pumping out of ships, and from the immense quantity of water which can be thrown out in a short space of time, it is even supposed that a ship could be kept so dry that an ordinary leak might be reached and stopped. Its use in cases of fire will also be evident. From the rapidity with which carbonic acid gas can be generated under this process the inventor has it also applied for the " exterminating" of fire. This is simply by the introduction of a stream of carbonic gas into any apartment which may be in flames, and of course, the action of the gas is instantly to ex tinguish the conflagration. The trial of this new mode of putting out fire was highly successful. The inventor (Mr. Phillips) generates his gas in both processes by mixing charcoal, nitre, and sulphate of lime, which are ignited by a drop of sulphuric acid. At an opportunity of greater leisure, the im portance of these inventions may justify a more careful detail. The explanatiolls by Mr. Scott, of the habits and structure of the electrical eels, are highly interesting, and not the less so from the tact that it has been owing to his skilful management of them that they have so long lived in this place, and have so thriven under his care as to increase in length from twenty-two inches to four feet, and from a girth of not more than three inches to more than six. They are also the only specimens now' alive in Europe. The promenade concerts, under the very able ma nagement of Mr. Sedg wick, elicited much applause; Several of the solos were encored, and the infant ballet, in which the performers are the Misses Frampton, Miss Falser, and Msster Forrest, merited the loudly expressed admiration of the visitors. The entertainments concluded with a new and beautiful series of dissolving views, not surpassed by any which we had previously seen and were warmly praised NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS AT THE EGYP7IAN-HALL, PICCADILLY. Eleven native Canadian Indians of the 0-jib-way Ode-au-wau, and Mis-sis-sagee tribes, are now exhi biting at the Egyptian-hall, Piccadilly. The party consists of ten males and one female, and their ages vary from 3to 40. They are a finer set of men than the Indians who were exhibiting there last season. One of the warriors is 6 feet 3 inches in height, and two of the others are more than 6 feet. It appears they have been induced to come over by the flattering accounts given of England by the Ojibways who were here last wear. The exhibition opened this day at two o'clock, with a grand Indian council, at which the whole party attended in full costume. The inter preter then delivered, in very good English, a short lecture on the manners, customs, and religion of the Canadian Indian tribes, after which followed the Dance of Wabunnoog, or Sun Worshippers. The chief then exhibited the manner of using the blow gun, and placing one of the Indian boys at one end of the room with an apple on his head, the chief sent three arrows into the apple from the blow-gun with out touching the boy. This feat was much applauded. D Tl:l i e n n ee c , am fo e llo t vi h ,e e d Il b r y ar th S e on c g er a e n rn d on D y an o c f e, B an u d ry t i h n e g ; Pipe he Hatchet and Smoking the Calmet , or Pipe of Peace. This last was a very imposing ceremony. There is another performance at eight in the evening, which varies somewhat from the morning performance s , in asmuch, as in the evening, there is exhibited a fac simile of the scalping. The Indian costumes, orna ments, and arms, which they have brought with them, are of the most curious description, and the exhibition is one which cannot fail to become popular. The performances were very well attended. li - 2-iMUIt and LIEGE RAILWAY. The Directors have the satisfaction of informing the Share holders in the above line, that their Bill was passed by the Belgian Legislature on Friday last, by a majority of 63 to 2. They have the further satisfaction of stating, that the Deputation empowered by them have succeeded in extending the amount pay able to the Shareholders from Six to Seven per cent. before the original "Concessionaires" can participate in any portion, and then only in otice is hereby given that not the Board, alter Monday, the instant. such proportion of the surplus profits as was previously agreed upon. It will be perceived that this is more advantageous to the Share holders than the arrangements generally adopted with Foreign Rail ways; and it is satisfactory to find the conviction of the Fondateurs in the value of the concern so strong that they did not hesitate thus to postpone their prospect of remuneration.

" H IS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the breeding of the Llama, from which a very line wool is obtained. The cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry of a coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of Regent-street, Tailors to the Court, it may be marked that such was made of this material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT, and in its appearance there is nothing very singular beyond a very gentlemanly neatness and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity. Upon being submitted at Court, it met with high approbation."— . . Morning Post, April 19. " This garment is so great an imroVo - on the old wrap-rascal, that its general acoption by men of taste Is Inevitable."—The Sun, April 30. " Amongst the registration of designs, according to the new Act, that of a coat is to be found.

The material is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest Llama wool, and In its fashion is neither trop neglige ni trop habille, but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it can not encumber free movement, worn riding or walking ; it will also, from the neatness of its form, admit its being used as a light Frock Coat—a desirable advantage in our warmest summer month., or abroad,. where heat Is found oppressive. H. J. and D. Nicoll, sensi tive to the importance of that vane mecum—a moderate light over coat—in a climate so changeable as that of Great Britain, would not submit to the public the Registered Paletot till themsetves satisfied of . . its being perfect, and that when used as a pardessus, riding or walking, or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which, g :ined by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, Is of some standing. This they can do with safety; as their new introduction, they respectfully submit, will not compromise that characteristic of an English gentleman, the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a wide extended sale is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas is fixed. Respectable firms will alone be treated with relative to an agency for the sale of the Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount can be allowed. There being a large and increasing demand, many are kept ready in the extensive wareroorns, 114, Regent-street, four doors north of Quadrant. CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS. fIEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully stood the test. six years' trial. Among the 10,000 In use, they have been adopted by the offizial authorities of the Houses of Parliament, Woolwich Dock -3 ard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these meters without regula tion or repair, sad which are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name. on the brass badge in front of all his meters.

ON ENTIRELY NEW PRINCIPLES, TAILORING, WOOLLEN-DRAPERY, and OUTFFDTING ESTABLI SI 29, LIJDGA.TE-HILL, SAMUEL, BROTHEAS, Proprietors. We confidently and positively assert that our system will effect a greater saving to the public in tte article of dress, than has ever yet been realised. The Establishment of SAMUEL, BROTHERS, is the first in the world which has originated the judicious plan to which publicity is now given—a plan which cannot fail to be hailed with admiration, because, while it realises the most sanguine hopes of the economist, will be a source of pride to its Inventors, based as it is on the most enlightened views, and conducted as it will be upon the most honourable principles. We will now state in what the novelty consists; although simple in its details, it is most beneficial to the public in its operation, and is neither more nor less than this,—Every customer will be enabled to ascertain the value and quantity of material required for every, variety of garesent—each and every Cloth, Cassmere, Doeskin, &c. being marked in plain figures at the price per yard, such price being the same as would be charged Pon by wholesale. We shall explain to ou r p a t rons the exact quantity u the purchase of the material that will be necessary for the particul ar ar ti c l e of dress'wanted, and we shall charge separately for the maki n g and trimmings. This system, as a trial of its operation will abundantly demonstrate, will effect a saving of thily one-third of the expense of the articles re quired in Gentlemen's dress. The peculiar advantages of the system of SAMUEL, BROTHERS, may be practicably exemplified as follows: — The average quantity of Cloth for a Coat is IN yards. suppose that selected be Bs. per yard, the material would cost 145., our charge for making and trimmings would be 18s., thus a really good serviceable Coat completed in the best style will be made to measure for 325. Again, suppose the Cloth selected to be 12s. per yard, the material would cost 215., our charge would be 20s. for making and trimmings, and thus a first-r a t e C oat ma d e to measure and com pleted in the best style will be obt a i ned for 41 5 ., few, if any, charge less than 50s or 525. for the sam e art i cle. Th e same saving will be effected in every description of Cl o thi ng. Oar charge for making and t r i mming a Coat fbr Cloths under 10s. per yard is 18s. and for the high er price Cl o ths 20s. In quality of cloths, variety of patterns f or Tronsers--richnes s and novelty in designs for Vestings, we flatter ourselves that wo have a stock that will please eve ry b ehol d er . Noblemen and Gentlemen on i nspecting our mode of transacting business, will be astonished a t th e sav i ng they may effect in their Liveries, in many instances ne ar l y one-hal f . In order to give every s a ti s f action, we promise that should an article, after it has been, paid for, not pl e ase, we will exchange it, or return the money without d emur.

A spectacle, bearing the startling title of Nelson, Wellington and Napoleon, was produced at this theatre last night. Like the generality of pieces in which the probabilities of life are given to the winds, it abounds rather in startling incidents, hair-breadth escapes, the firing of muskets, and blue and red fire, than a connected story, terminating in a catastrophe —in which the machinations of the bad are successful and the good are defeated. The drama is divided into three epochs, each representing some of the most prominent events in the life of the distinguished men whose name it bears. Thus we have the death of Nelson—the Duke of Wellington and Napoleon be fore the Battle of Waterloo, with a mimic represeri tation of which the drama closes. Mr. Waldron sustained the character of Nelson and the Duke of Wellington ; whilst Mr. Broadfoot enacted that of Napoleon. Both gentlemen dressed after the most authentic records of the great originals, and depicted some of their peculiarities in a clever manner. Mr. J. Dunn played the character of an Irish Amazon, and convulsed the - house with laughter by his unfeminine appearance. The other characters were fairly sustained. Upwards of thirty of the Coldstream Guards personated the British army. Of the scenery we cannot speak in terms of praii;e, nor of the delays and mistakes in the substitution of one piece of scenery for another. When accidents of this nature occurred, the gods gave audible expression to their wrath in torrents of hisses. On the fall of the curtain, however, Mr. Fox Cooper came forward and apdogised for the imperfect way in which the piece had been brought forward. He said the house had only been in his possession since Friday ; and although he had made great exertions, he had not been able to accomplish all h e had wished. To morrow night he hoped to remedy all defects, and to put the piece upon the stage as it ought to be. This restored good humour. Many of the scenes were loudly applauded, and the drama was altogether successful. The performances concluded with Lon don by Night, an adoption from the writings of Dickens. The house was but thinly attended. QUEEN'S. Although the holiday attraction at this neat and excellently managed theatre was an " Original Bur lesque" of the far-famed dramatic and fairy spectacle of Cherry and Fair Star, it is required by justice to say a few words at least of the successful and praise worthy style in which the legitimate drama was last night presented. In the most difficult of the whole range of Shakesperian difficulties—the perplexed and perplexing Hamlet—Mr. Grattan Dawson acquitted himself to admiration, and fairly established his claim to the rank of a tragic actor of high qualifications and Miss Waverly Scott's Ophelia was in many re. spects admirable, and in most above medio crity. The discrimination of the audience was proved by frequent and judicious applause. She will, no doubt, give us opportunities of expressing in more detail our opinion that she is advancing to the highest rank in her profession. This very promising young lady was much applauded. Mr. Parry's Leertes was, perhaps, a little too vehe ment, but, on the whole, adequate; and Mr. Royer as Polonius, was, to say the least, respectable. The ex travaganza which followed is entitled Bone Squ rsh, and is written expressly for Mr. Dunn's (the Eng lish Jim Crow) inimitable and peculiar style of acting. It was received with shouts of laughter, and Mr. Dunn's "Nigger songs" were certainly very rich and ludicrous, and 11;s acting was relished deliciously by most part of the audience, who seemed to have a more intimate acquaintance with the peculiarities of nigger manners and drollery than we can pretend to. To those who are acquainted with the genuine wit and truly comic powers of Charles Slomati, the improrisatore, it is scarcely necessary to say that the grand burlesque of Cherry and Fair Star; or, The Children of Cyprus, is one of the cleverest of this kind of extravaganzas, that have lately afforded so much fun and delight at other favourite theatres. The scenery, which is painted by the talented proprietor, Mr. James is varied, picturesque, and often magnificent; it elicited very great applause. The acting throughout was a charming and well-sustained vein of comicality, and was worthy of the expense bestowed in getting up the piece. The songs are all parodies upon well known ditties, both comic and sentimental ; and the vocal power of this well-selected company was never more advantageously shown, than by Miss Louisa Lyons, Mrs. Handers, Miss Rogers, Mr. I\landers, Mr. Norton, and Mr. Royer, in numerous and humorous songs, duets, trios, and quartets, which were allotted them severally or collectively. Nor must we forget the " choruses," which fairly claim their full share of eulogy. On the whole, the" treat of the Whitsun holiday," as it is aptly termed in the announcement, is certain to outlive by weeks, or more, the brief period of festivity for which it has been avowedly brought into existence. STANDARD. The equestrian season of this popular eastern house commenced last night with a piece called The Conquest of Tartary ; or the Eagle Rider and Steed of the Desert. It is from the pen of Mr. D. W. Broadfoot, late stage manager at Astley's, and intro duces some very effective and striking scenes, which would do credit to a more extensive establishment. The theatre is 120 feet in circumference, and is sur mounted with crimson and white tapestry, giving it a lively and beautiful appearance. It should be men tioned that the arena is beneath the stage, and as the curtain rises the audience see the stage raised and drawn off by machinery. The house was full. ASTLEYS. The holiday entertainments at this ever popular establishment commenced last evening with a spec tacle, entitled, The Godolphin Arabian; or, the Rac e Horse of the Desert. This is ono of the most gorgeous and effective pieces which Mr. Batty has presented to the public. It opens with a beautiful representation of the DEsert of Arabia, and the scene representing the desert is particularly striking from its truthfulness, and furnishes the beholder with a very clear idea of the peculiar burning appearance of the desert. The next striking scene —f o r it i s t h e scenery of the piece which constitutes its chief at- SIGHT AND HEARING TESTIMONIALS. 39, AusEataaLE-STREET, PICCADILLY.

We allude to cutaneous cad other visitations of the skin, which too frequently result from neglect in early life. The remedy consists in the constant and immediate application, after washing, of the justly celebrated Chinese coiinetic, called " Meets Fun," or, Celestial Skin Powder, prepared only from Oriental herbs, most harmless in their nature, and used in the nursery of royalty.

Mrs. Davidge has opened the Whitsun holidays with one new, and, if we may believe the play-bill, " ori ginal drama, written by Mr. Fox Cooper, and en titled the Old Fleete Prison, and an adaptation from the French by Mr. E. Stirling, called the Secret Foe; or, the Mason of Abbeville. The American Samson (Mr. Canfield) also exhibited tothe astonished lieges a succession of Herculean feats, perhaps unrivalled since the days of the English Topham. Any attempt to detail the plot of the new piece would, we are afraid, prove sufficiently tiresome to the reader, and, therefore, we shall content ourselves with stating that the play contains the stock characters which have formed the staple of all " original" productions since the days of the earliest dramatists; namely, an elder brother, sensible and selfish, and, therefore, a scoundrel; a younger, handsome, amiable, and a spendthrift; a rich widow, who, wooed by the first, wooes and marries the second ; a young lady in love, sentimental and silly, and a motley group of secondary beings who strut their little hour, not so much with the view of contributing to the " perfect whole," as to exhibit to the audience the abilities which a tyrannical management has in their proper persons condemned to minor parts and unworthy situations. Some excellent scene painting (whether new we know not) by Brunning, Turner, and others, excited universal ad miration, and the rich but formal costumes of the latter part of the seventeenth, or beginning of the eighteenth century, were admirably preserved. After the drama, Mr. Canfield, the strongest man in the world, exhibited his wondrous feats—feats which cer tainly speak well for the degeneracy of our age. He thought nothing of bending bars of iron across his arm; breaking ropes two inches in diameter; carrying cannons of 400 and 600 lbs. weight; waltzing round the stage with a couple of men across his neck, and other sundry and pleasurable amuse ments of a like character. His muscular develop ment affords a study to those persons who delight in physical superiority, and we heartily recommend all such admirers to see this artiste. The adaptation from the French finished the evening. Mr. H. Hughes, Mr. N. T. Hicks, Mr. Fredericks, and Mrs. Honner, sustained the principal characters. The whole piece presented a wonderful resemblance to the first, as if they had—to use the graphic language of a gentleman in the same box with us—come from the same parent nest. The house was very full, and the performances seemed to give great satisfaction. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. This favourite place of summer resort opened for the season last evening. Mr. Tyler, the new lessee, has vastly improved upon the plans of his predecessor. He has a new subject for his fete every year, and al though he thus subjects himself to a greatly increased outlay in catering for the amusement of his patrons, yet we doubt not but that the increase of public patronage will more than compensate him for his in creast d. expenses. The gardens too have been entirely renovated and re-decorated. Several new walks and bosquets have been formed, and the grounds are tastefully adorned by groups of statuary. The gardens. were well filled at an early hour by parties who had come out determined to make the most of Whit-Monday. At half-past four the carnivora were fed ; the pelicans and birds at five ; and at six the promenade concert, under the direction of Mr. Godfrey. Among the other improvements we may mention that the orchestra has been enlarged, advanced nearer the audience, and re-decorated. At this period there were upwards of three thousand people assembled in the gardens, and the colossal pictorial representation of Edinburgh, the chef d'ceuvre of the pencil of Danson, was the subject of universal admiration. " Have you been at Edin burgh ?" "Is it like ?" were the questions that were constantly heard on all sides ; and when any in dividual, who had been at "Auld Reekie," com menced explaining the model to his friends, he was immediately surrounded by an anxious group of inquirers, eager to listen to his explanations, and not back ward in asking him question. Never has any thing been yet produced at these Gardens, which has created anything like the sen , 3atioe. of this colossal model of Edinburgh ; and Prince Albert has proved that he completely understood the taste of the English public, when he recommended the subject to Mr. Tyler. We are not surprised at the admi ration which has been so freely expressed of this beautiful work of art. Scott has done Edinburgh no more than justice, in calling it his " ain romantic town." Whether we regard its situation, or the grand historical events of which it has been the scene, Edinburgh is, " take it for all in all," perhaps the most romantic place in the world. Here we have presented to us, a bird's-eye view of it, as cor rect, as complete, as if the town itself, with its suburbs, had, by some Aladdin-like process, been suddenly transported to the banks of the Thames. There it is—the Old Town—with its quaint medi aeval buildings, the scene of many a deadly deed, and of many a joyful revel—the New Town, with its magnificent streets and squares, a rich millionaire ostentatiously parading its wealth in the face of its poor Nobility. There, too, is the Nor' Loch, as it existed in days " lang syne." The Carlton Hill, Nelson's monument (erected years before the Nelson monument in London, to the shame of the English be it spoken); Scott's monu ment ; Salisbury Cragga, rendered immortal by the Great Wizard of the North, in connexion with Jeanie Deans ; Arthur's Seat; the fine old Castle — who that has read Marmion or Waverley can forge o t f t t h b e C em a s o t r le al ; fo t h r c e e Roy of t a b l e lnstitution—present da3—; as t h e the strong hold Cas tle was of the physical force of a former century, each building emblematic of an age; and, though last not least, the fine old Palace of Holvrood, the scene of the revelries of James—of the misfortunes of Mary—of the short-lived triumph of Charles Edward—there, too, is the river, the silver Forth, " wandering at its own sweet will," and the dark mass of the Bass, proudly rising from the ocean. It is night—the night of the day on which the Queen first arrived at Edinburgh ; one by one lights appear at th e windows; gradually the whole city becomes illu minated, and presents a most gorgeous spectacle, Salutes are fired from the Castle, bonfires blaze on the Calton Hill, Arthur's Seat, and the surrounding mountains ; and then commences a grand py ro _ f t o ec r h m n e i r c wrhhiceh gfararnsiuripmasares i e sc n ert S :it u il t y hb t Y h ' e s triumph of the pyrotechnic art.

This transparency, which is beautifully executed by Denson, is surrounded by appropriate emblematical devices, and is made the centre of one of the most elaborate displays of the resources of pyrotechny ever exhibited. It is impossible to de scribe the various brilliant effects, unfortunately, as evanescent as they are brilliant, which are introduced in this grand finale. We certainly never have seen anything of the sort which can be at all compared with it. There cannot be a doubt but that this will I be by far the most popular tableau that has ever been. w. 13.
