Splendid View of Old London Bridge, conducting to an Antique Court, prepared for the receptim of Richard the First on his return from Palestine. How Richard arrives over London Bridge under a vast escort, which in those days consisted of Knights mocnted on their battle steeds, and surmounted by their battle-axes, attended by Heralds, Pursuivanta, Standard-bearers, English, Irish, and Scotch Troops (who made the Moors Troop), Archers Pikeinen, andlmen (re gular stickers), Templars, Men-at-Arms (who have footed it all the way), Attendants.

How the King wishes them joy at the Bridal, and bow the Old Woman of Finchley, don't a bit.

Ghelia, with his three highly-trained Steeds, M. Nieolo Plige, the great Barrel Equilibrist, and the 13: o thers Francisco, from the Hippodrome, Paris. To conclude with an entirely new and original grand historical Equestrian Christmas Pantomime, written expressly for this Theatre, by the author of " Bluff King Hal," to be entitled HARLEQUIN AND O'DONOGHUE ; or, The White Horse of Killarney. _ _ To say that this Equestrian Pantomime will be superbly " mounted," is to say no more than must be expected ; coming, as it does, surrounded with such favourable auspices. It has been said by some authors, that Ci'Donoghue (but I don't know who) was a good Prince of Ireland; who, eschewing whiskey, was always chewing water, and kicking his eels (heels) at the bot tom of the Lake of Killarney, excepting once a year when, findin; himself taken with a swimming in the head, he would pop up to the surface, and mounting his charger, would charge her to gallop across the Lake. Many expected that so much galloping would have thrown him into a galloping consumption ; but such has not proved the case, for some assert that net only he, but his Horse too, is "still alive and kicking." This hard galloping, or Galloparding, always occurred on the Eve of May-Day. The description of him is that he was tall—but not at all too tall—that he was handsome, and would hand some whatever they desired—that his appearance was even in the light of Day—that of an Electro-plated Knight ; for he was covered all over with a thin Coat of Silver—this Coat he could never wear out, because he was always at home. But now to the Pantomime : SCENE THE FIRST. THE GLEN OF MISCHIEF. The Hag of Mischief, over a Peat Fire, is still trying to elicit from an Illicit Still the Evil Spirit of Ireland, in the form of WHISKEY : who, though still in the Still, won't be still, but " busts his biler," and stands confessed the REAL POTEEN ! This powerful Spirit is sent by the Hag of Mischief, under the disguise of Paddy Carey, to tempt and ruin the followers of " Father Mathew" and the " Water Cure," whom, she says, are the especial favourites of the " Water Drinking Fool," O'Donoghue. Whiskey swears he'll de her bidding, for he'll fire them with drink, by making them as drunk as blazes.' Mischief parts from Whiskey with " a drop in her eye," but Whiskey is not so affected ; for he is sure that where Whiskey is, Mischief won't be far Off. SCENE THE SECOND. THE LAKE OF KILLARNEY. The entrance to the Mansion of Lord Bullfrog is on one side, on the other a little inn. It being in Ireland, the sign was to have been " a Bull," but " bulls" not being in fashion at present, it has been changed to the " Queen's Head." It being May-Day Eve, the Fairies of the Lake are seen dancing and strewing flowers on the water, as if sweetly M'Adamizing the road, preparatory to the ap pearance of O'DONOGIIIIE ON HIS WHITE HORSE. He gallops across the Lake, says much that is well worth hearing, puts on the habit of a Beggar, and, " 0 Charming May," what a time for making a little lave ; so think the fair Kathleen and her Lover Dermot Astore, but instead of making a little, they make a great deal. She relieves the Beggars wants, and then wants to have a little more love. It has long since been an established fact, that even Cupid, who can change any man into a goose, sometimes has his own " goose eooked," and so it proves now, for Lord Bull frog's Cookey, discovering the Lovers, flares up, a " broil" ensues, and all are thrown into a perfect " stew." At this critical moment, Lord Bullfrog, with his jovial companions, return from the chase. Lady Bullfrog (to see her is to love her), with her interesting little family, comes to meet him. She files into her husband's arms—and thus (as many married ladies have done before) stands " in arms against her husband." Lord Bullfrog is enraged with the Lovers, so to punish Dermot, who is in his debt, he seizes his only friend, his Horse, by way of payment, but gets " more kicks than ha'pence." O'Denoghue, as the medicant, aids the Lovers, and Dermot's Horse is restored. Lord Bullfrog, being determined to get rid of his pla,ue of a daughter, pur s her up as " a Prize," which makes her look very " blank," as he exclaims— Whoe'er to-morrow brings the fsirest steed, The one that leaps the beat, has greatest rp' ed; Shall have fair HAthieen— yes, ,he and all her t'n, So try your lucks, and let the best Fl orse win. All disperse, leaving Dermot alone with his Horse, by whose aid, ho feels certain to win his heart's dearest hope. But, alas ! " tile course of trus love never did run smooth." Whiskey comes in the way, aad whisks away his senses—then his money—and, at last, his Horse; Whiskey mounts the Horse, and, setting up a horse laugh, gallops off with it. Dermot in despair determines t try the " Water Cure," by drowning: himself, but: is prevented by O'Dono ghue, who promises to lend him another horse for the morrow's race, and at on.e takes to the bottom of the Lake. SCENE THE THIRD. THE CORAL STABLE OF THE THOUSAND STEEDS. Here O'Donoghue's White Horse is seen quite at home enjoying his banquet, waited upon by Ponies and Water Fairies. He is in the prime oflife. " None of your has-beens," for he " never has beans," but dines off his three courses like a gent, consisting of a TUREEN of PUMP SOUP, a dish of STEWED HORSE LEECHES, and a plateau of CORNED BEEF, the whole washed down by a bottle of CLOVER WINE. Having a turn for taciturnity, he stands no " chaff," and having cut his corns, has no objections to a little dance. Dermot chooses a Horse, which, as might be expected, proves " one in a thousand." Tie feel'; " quite up in the stirrups," and as ho is changing his clothes, he is closed in by changing the scene to SCENE THE FOURTH, THE LAUGHING FOREST. Whiskey and Mischief meet again. The Evil Spirit tells the Bag that he has obtained Dermot's fay.urite Horse, and on it he hopes to win the race, and thus bring Kathleen within their power. The trees enjoy the fun, and though precious old ones, " laugh like new 'uns." SCENE 'THE FIFTH. MAY-DAY IN THE HILLS OF KILLARNEY. _ _ . Here we find Dorris Danchg, Running in a Sack,Grinning through a Collar, and ether delicate amusements previous to the GREAT TRIAL 1 All the competitors seize their stirrups, and some of them "put their foot in it." But where is Dermot? If they start withi,ut him, there will be a start wFh a vengeance. But no ! he is coming, and very becoming he comes. All is prepared; off they go. This proves true enough, for many go o 1 over their horses' necks. Der mot leaps his Lordship's "gate" after a "style" of his own Whiskey being a lad of " spirit," is not at all behind. Now for the Race, which is to decide all ! Kathleen trembl s. Whiskey must put his strength to the proof. Kathleen takes courage, for to her Dermot is far too winning to lose—nor does he; but Whiskey getting possession of Kathleen and the Fairy Steed, flies off with her. All consterna tion—" Pursue, pursue." SCENE THE SIXTH. THE PURSUIT THROUGH THE LAUGHING FOREST. O'Donoghue again befriends Dermot, by lending Ulm his own White Horse—Cooky has mounted her Arabian steed, which, clever as she thought him, proves a perfect ass. SCENE THE SEVENTH. THE LAKE OF KILLARNEY (as before). The Evil Spirit and Kathleen fly across. The Horse knows his own stable, so vanishes beneath the Lake, and thus water overcomes the power of Whiskey. Dermot, on O'Donogbue's White Horse, flies to the rescue of his love, and brings her safely to land again— when, as might be expected, Dermot is ct anged to Harlequin, Ka li leen to Columbine, Lord Bullfrog to Pantaloon, and lSlousabella Brisket, the Fat C ok, to Clown.

The unfortunate difference between the engine drivers and directors of the London and North-Wes tern ltailvvay still continues, although there has been as yet no overt act of hesillity to increase the difficul ties of the case, and perhaps render an amicable ar rangement impossible. Matters still wear a very menacing aspect, and there is but too much reason to fear that the public may be seriously inconvenience d by the withdrawal of some of the existing facilitie s for traffic on that important line. The men have not, it is true, sent in any notices to quit the company's service, but it is more than hinted that they may altogether dispense with that form, and withdraw simultaneously, without giving any previous intimation of their intention, and at a time when it would be almost impossible to provide competent substitutes, leaving the company to seek its remedy as it best could. .The dri vers on the southern diyision, although hav ing no personal SUN, Several of our cotemporaries have directed the at ention of the public to the necessity of being pre pared to afford all requisite accommodation in the shape of lodgings and restawrante to the host of foreigners who may be expected to visit London during the Exhibition of 1851, but none of them have as yet considered the necessity of providing for the foreigner that which to him is almost a necessary of life—amusement. Whoever has sojourned on the continent knows that to the Frenchman, the German, and the Italian, the spectacle is an absolute necessity, a large portion of every evening of his life is passed in the theatre, and we hope that the benefits which our own theatres cannot but derive from the presence of these foreigners will tend greatly to the resusci tation of the drama, not only by an increased flow of specie into the treasury of the managers, but by in ducing a large and wholesome reform into our whole system of theatrical management, without which, although a foreigner may visit an English theatre Once, he will assuredly not go there a second time. The generality of educated foreigners admire and un derstand SHAXSPERE and our elder dramatists, and to the theatres in which SUARSPERE is properly represented they will flcck, while those theatres which content themselves with producing bad translations of foreign dramatic productions will be deserted; no foreigner who had seen the original of a play would think of seeicg the translation. This, by rendering the trade of the mere translator an unprofitable one, cat not but render an immense service to the cause of the English drama. Our managers must, if they wish to attract foreigners, adopt stringent measures to prevent the extortions of box-keepers and of bill sellers, and pursue in that respect a plan similar to that adopted at the Olympic at the commencement of the season of last year. But, above all, they must do away with that which has been the ruin of the drama—the " star" system. As we have before said, educated foreigners admire and understand SHASESPERE. In germany literal translations of SHAKSPERE are constantly performed, and in France the Barbare of VOLTAIRE has become the model of VICTOR HUGO ; but they will not tolerate such a rechauffee as the star system renders ab solutely necessary ; they would be disgusted . were they told that, to suit the purposes of one actor not only was every other actor sacrificed, but the drama itself truncated. They who love the drama for itself consider, and properly consider, that the actor is the mere exponent of the author, and should make his love of display, or even his genius subordi nate to the perfect representation of the piece. On the continent the star system is happily unknown, and there the drama flourishes as it used to flourish here before the star system was introduced, and as it will flourish again when the star system shall be destroyed. It is not so much the inordinate salary paid to the star, thus rendering it impossible for mana gers to engage other actors of talent, which does the mischief, as the necessity which this system imposes on dramatic authors to write monologues fur the star, instead of tragedies or comedies for the company, and the insuperable difficulty which it places in the way of the formation of a dramatic training school. In the sister art of painting the greatest genius that ever lived la ould fail to become a great artist if he changed his drawing-master once a fort night ; and for the same reason no actor, however great may be his genius, can be come a great artist if he is acting with a dif ferent star every week. Let us look at the working of the system, and we shall find that the star system has ended in the ruin of every management that has adopted it, whilst those who have eschewed it have been as uniformly successful; as a proof grievances, nothing, in fact, on which to ground a plausible complaint, have expressed their determina• tion to make common cause with their northern brethren ; so that if the latter should proceed t o extremities, and refuse to perform the duties for which they had contracted, the others would pursue a similar course. The directors, on the other hand, exhibit a calm and steady resolution, suited to the emergency. They have issued notices to the effect that in consequence of the threatened strike, it is probable that a very considerable reduction of passenger trains may be temporarily made on the line, and requesting attention to the time bills which will be issued in a few days. It is manifest from this significant intimation, that there is a firm determination on the part of the board not to yield to the illegal demands that have been preferred; and that if the warfare be once commenced, it will be carried to the utmost extremity, so that no man who has participated in the movement will ever be restortd to the employment which he voluntarily abandoned, and we are much mistaken if the directors of every other line in the United Kingdom will not enter into a similar resolution, and thus the misguided men will find their names tabooed, so that they cannot hope for other employments on this side of the Atlantic. Let them, therefore, pause for a moment in their reckless career, and hesitate before they involve themselves and families in sufferings and privations, of the intensity whereof they have at present no con ception. And, first, let us ask, what is the real cases belli? For what are they contending ? Is it worth the formidable risks they must necessarily encounter in the struggle for its attainment ? We believe that there can be no difference of opinion among unprejudiced persons on these points, and that even a majority of the men themselves, if they ventured to express their own views, would coincide with the public generally. It is, however, one of the misfortunes incident to all similar confederations, that the more turbu lent and unreasonable spirits obtain an ascendancy over their more rational associates, and that mis chievous resolutions are carried, contrary to the wishes of the great majority, simply because no members are found with sufficient moral resolution to stand forward and oppose the insane projects of those who have usurped an authority to which they are by no means entitled over their more moderate brethren. There is, then, but one point really in dispute be tween the directors and enginemen, and that is what i 3 termed the "three months' notice system." It is true that four demands have been put forward by the deputation, but three directly relate to the in creased notice required, and the fourth naturally follows from the same cause, being framed for the pur pose of compelling the firemen, who in case of emergency might discharge the duties of drivers, to join in the confederacy and co-operate with the malcontents. The temperate answer of the directors must have completely removed all misapprehension, if any such existed, as to their objects in introducing this new re gulation. They emphatically declared that the system was not adopted "in order to bring about a reduction of wages, but simply with a view to obviate the acknowledged evil of a sudden stoppage of the line, occasioned perhaps by some misunderstanding between the enginemen and the locomotive superin tendent." They clearly show the propriety of this new rule, which it must be borne in mind only applies to candidates for appointments, none of the old hands being required to enter into the undertaking ; and even with respect to these persons the utmost latitude is given, for it is expressly provided that "for any engineman who dtsires to make a bond fide engagement with any other company, or who shall propose to go abroad, or, in fact, shall wish to leave the company's service fur any valid reason altogether unconnected with a general strike, the usual fortnight's notice would be deemed suffi cient." The object of the enginemen must therefore be to keep the directors and shareholders altogether under the control of a select body of drivers, who should have the power at any time to tyrannise over their employers, and to deteriorate property of enor mous value at their mere will and pleasure—perhaps we should rather say " caprice." Is this just or reason • able ? Is it a matter in which they can reasonably look for public sympathy or public support ; and without that support what can they hope to achieve ? They may be assured that if once they enter upon the contest they must be defeated, and that the consequences to themselves must inevitably be of a very serious character. They must consider the stringent nature of the laws against combinations, and that if they leave their employment with cut giving the stipulated notice the directors will not be restricted to a civil remedy, but that each man so offending may be summarily punished, on conviction before a magistrate, with three months' imprisonment and hard labour. Let them ponder on these matters before they enter upon a course of action fraught with ruin to themselves and to those that may be dearer than life itself. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, of the first portion of our proposition, we would adduce the cases of Drury-lane and Covent garden, and of the second, those of the Adelphi and Sadler's Welis. What is the secret of the great suc cess of the Adelphi pieces? Why, that there are no stars there, that the company has been a permanent one for years, that the artistes are thoroughly used to each other, and know exactly how and when to play up to each other, so as to produce the greatest possible effect with the least apparent effort, results the attainment of which the star system renders impossible. At Sadler', Wells, again, we have had recently our old sterling plays re presented in their entirety, instead of in " starry" fragments, and with a unity and com pleteness that gives much greater pleasure to the man of cultivated taste than could the isolated efforts of the most resplendent star in the dramatic firma ment. The approaching retirement of Mr. MACISEADY renders the success of an united effort on the part of all managements to put down the star system most hopeful ; and we trust they will unite, and, once for all, effectually destroy a system which is ruinous alike to manager and actor, to artist and to art. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The trial of ALLAIS commenced on Tuesday at the Police Correctionelle, and was likely to last several days. It is made quite a party affair; the judge con stantly interfering to bully the accused and the wit nesses, more especially M. YoN, the Commissary of Police of the Assembly, who denounced to M. Durex, the Bonapartist plot (real or pretended) for his assas sination, which ALLAIS had revealed to him, whilst M. DUPIN takes M. YoN under his protection, and by his conduct shows that he at least believes in the truth of the revelations of ALLAIS. This trial is the com mencement of the open contest between the PRESIDENT of the Republic and the Assembly. On Tuesday the Government narrowly escaped a vote of censure for jobbing in the contract for cloth ing the army. The majority in favour of the order of the day was 44 only, the numbers being 345 to 301. The Constitutionnel has the following on the failure of the negotiation for the loan : "That the adjudication has not taken place is with out doubt to be regretted, but what is certain is that the fault is not that of the Government. Every one, on the contrary, was glad to see it fix its minimum at a rate in proportion to the present quotation. The Bourse was of that opinion, for after having fallen lf. the quotations began to rise before the end, and closed 80a. lower than the last prices of Saturday. It is to be remarked, also, that the strange incidents of Saturday's sitting in the Assembly, and the apprehension of seeing a new conflict arise between the two Powers relative to M. Yon, reckoned for much in that fall. What will the Govern ment do ? We cannot say; but we do not think it to be very uneasy concerning the further results of this matter. The capitalists will not fail probably to admit themselves that they have esteemed our credit a little too low. Already, it is said, offers have been made to the Minister to take the roues at the pica of his minimum. At all events the Government can wait, as the Treasury has never had more money in hand. It is besides well known that th 3 two millions of rentes were offered for sale less on account of any present want, as to be prepared for eventualities abroad. At present, seeing that the diffi culties which were apprehended have been in a great measure removed, there is no hurry, and the Government can take its time." There was not much business transacted at the Bourse on Tuesday, except in railroad shares, but Go vernment Stock was more firm than on Wednesday. The Five per Cents. opened at 95f. 15c., fell to 95f. 10c., rose subsequently to 95f. 60c., and closed at 95f. 50c.; the Three per Cents. closed at 57f. 60c. Orleans Railroad Shares, 860 f.; Rouen, 690 f.; llavre, 272 f. 50,.; Great Northern, 487 f. 50c.; Avignon, 195 f.; Vierzon,4lof.; Basle, 136 f. 25c. • Bordeaux, 407 f. 50c.; Pari s and Strnburgh, 358 f. 75c.; Tours and Nantes, 252 f. 50c. ; the New Pied montese Loan, 85f. 55c. On Cbristmas•day the Bourse remained dosed. The Five per Cents., however, were done out of doors at 95f. 60c. PORTUGAL. Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to the 19th inst.

From Munich it is stated that the Diet of Bavaria has been convoked for the 3d of February. The Neue llessische Zeitung publishes an article in explanation of the compromi,ing resolution of the Chief Court of Appeal. Ic appears from this ex planation that, on the 16th instant, the two Commis sioners arrived at Cassel, and agreed as to the mea sures which they were prepared to take. They were waited upon by a deputation from the Chief Court of Appeal, and to these General Peucker pointed out, in the name of all the German Governments, on the ground of the Olmutz Convention, and with reference to the impending definitive decision of the ques tion at issue, that the two Commissioners must expect a provisional obedience to the ELECTOR'S de cree of the 4th of September, if indeed the members of the Chief Court of Appeal wished to prevent ex treme measures. This communication led to a re newt d consideration of the points in question by the Court ; and, finally, it was resolved to submit to the will of the Commissioners. Two battalions of Bavarian Foot and one division of Light Horse have passed through Cassel, on their road to the villages on the right bank of the Fulda river. The Prussian troops at Cassel are—two battalions of the 13th Regiment, two squadrons of the 9th Hus sars, one division of Jagers, and half a battery, under the command of Major-General VON COLLN. Accounts from Cassel, of the 23d, state that the Bavarian General Prince TEURN and TAXIS had es tablished his bead-quarters in that City. The ELECTOR has appointed M. BATMIBACH to be his representative at Dresden. On the 21st the King of PRUSSIA published an amnesty for smaller transgressions and misdemeanours in the case of those of his subjects who have entered the army in obedience to the decree of the 6th of November. ITALY. The synod of the Bishops of the Lombardo-Vene tian kingdom, lately held at Milan, had addressed a circular to all the clergymen of the different dioceses, enjoining them to forbid in their respective jurisdictions the reading of the political writings which had caused the revolution of 1848, and of prohibited Bibles. The Count DE CHAMBORD arrived at Venice on the 13th. Military executions still continue, in the districts of Italy which are under Austrian rule. Three unfortunate individuals were shot at Bergamo on the 17th, for having arms in their possession. Letters from Rome, of the 13th instant, state that the tariff of taxes on professions has been published ; advocates are to pay 30 scudi (7 1 ) per annum ; attorneys, 24 scudi ; notaries, 12; physicians of the medical college, 24 ; and practising physicians, 12 ; surgeons, 9 ; barbers, 6; engineers and architects, 20 scudi. In its sittings on the 19th, the Senate of Turin commenced the discussion of the Bill for the aboli tion of a feudal right which still exists on certain lands, where the tenant is obliged to grind corn at his landlord's mill. The Chamber of Deputies brought the first debate on the house-tax to a close, by adopting the order of the day proposed by Signor MENABREA, in which the interests of Savoy are particularly recommended to the attention of the Cabinet. SICILY. The Concordia of Turin of the 20th confirms the accounts which we had previously given of an out break in Sicily ; the districts of Suana, Dorleone and SC. Joseph were in possession of the patriots, who had defeated the troops of King BOMBA in a series of actions, and compelled them to retreat. T URKEY. THE HUNGARIAN REFUGEES. The Gomer Polski announces that the affair of the Hungarian refugees has been finally arranged—America has offered them an asylum which they have accepted, and has undertaken to provide for their wants ; the Ottoman Govern ment pays their expenses to Liverpool, and the English Government their expenses from thence to America. This arrangement was proposed by the Ottoman Government and acceded to by _England and America.
