ARETIRED PHYSICIAN, whose sands of life have nearly run out, discovered while in the East Indies a certain cure for Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, and General Debility. The remedy was discovered by him when his only child, a daughter. was given up to die. He had heard much of the wonderful restorative and healing qualities of prepara tions made from the East India Hemp, and the thought occurred to him that he might make a remedy for his child. He studied hard, and succeeded in realising his wishes. His child was cured, and is now alive and well. He has since administered the wonderful re medy to thousands of sufferers in all parts of the world, and he has never failed in making them completely healthy and happy. Wishing to do as much good as possible. he will send to such of his afflicted fellow beings as request it, this recipe, with fall and explicit direc tions for makin it up and successfully using it. He requires each applicant to enclose hire six stamps—one to be returned as postage en the recipe, and the remainder to be applied to the payment of this advertisement: Address to H. James, 11.

To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life within Life,' and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examination, the cause and effect of every variety of thew complaints, with numerous engravings and cases., BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in youth, degradation in Man - hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, end who are conscious of having hazarded the heslth,happincss, and privileges to which every human being is entitle(' It Is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical intrmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

LONDON, . ONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 28, 1857. pßovm ENT OLE] ASSURANCE ASSOCI RKS' MUTUAL LIFE ATlON.—Established 1840. Jack to give heed to " Intelligence," and strives to allure him from the dangerous temptations of " Igno rance," who haunts our hero as pertinaciously as Za mid dogs Caspar in the opera. "Proverb" eventually triumphs. Endowing his pupil with the sword of "Perseverance," excites him to attack and conquer the 1 various "parts of speech." With the letters of the alphabet and all that they generate at his command, Jack carries everything before him, until " Ignorance" perplexed and baffled, as a last expedient, despatches him on a sham mission to the depths of the ocean. But the depths of the ocean cannot escape the searching power of "Intelligence," who by aid of the electric cable comes to the rescue of her protege, and entertains him in her Palace of Coral, or "Fairy Aquarium," as it is designated in the imaginative vocabulary of panto mime. The contest terminating in this victory carries the audience through a succession of grotesque scenes, in the course of which all the letters of the alphabet and all the parts of speech are personified, while the familiar incidents of the nursery rhyme are represented in action. Suffice it, the "trans formation" (if "transformation that may be called where the pantomimic characters spring from nowhere) occurs, suddenly and unexpectedly atthe" Fairy Aquarium," one of the most gorgeous, ingenious, and magnificent of all those elaborate scenic combinations for which Mr. W. Beverley is specially celebrated. No description can do justice to this decorative display, which must be seen to be appreciated. As its wonders gradually revealed them selves, and the ciroumambient air, no less than terra firma, became densely peopled with floating nymphs and soaring fairies, the applause was vociferous and continu ous, and a summons, first for Mr. E. T. Smith, the manager, and next for Mr. Beverley, the artist, repre sented the climax of excitement. A halo of blue fire and . 1 electric light from the " wings" then theew an unearthly glare over the whole ; and the aonclusiaa unanimously.' arrived at was, that such a scene would alone have in sured success. The harlequinade (and this, after all, most nearly con -1 earns the abstract love of pantomime), though unneces sarily complex on account of the multiplication of the 1 characteristic personages, is, on the whole, the liveliest, most amusing, and varied that has been witnessed for years. So excellent is it, indeed, as not merely to war rant but to render advisable a very considerable abridg. merit of the far less diverting introduction, in order that no one may be deterred by la a hours from remaining to the end. The dramatis persona in this legi timate and traditionally-respected section of the enter tainment include Harlequins (Messrs. Milano and St. Maine), Dandy (M. Detilin), Sprites (Messrs. Elliott), Clowns (Messrs. Boleno and Fiexmore), Pantaloons (Messrs. Nash and W. A. Barnes), Harlequina (Ma demoiselle Agnes), Columbines (Madame Bolen° and Mademoiselle C'eristine)—au " ernbarras de richesses," it will be admitted. The Messrs. Elliott are remarkably clever, but their services are almost superfluous, since now that our clowns themselves ars expected to assume, and in most instances do assume, the functions of acro. hats, what need is there of tumbling, attitudinising non descripts, whose connexion with the regn!ar " business" is worse than problematical I Again, Harlequina is out of place where there are two Columbines—neither of whom take any notice of one whose relationship to their spangled mates, from its suspicious nature, would natu rally excite their jealousy. And this, without depre ciatieg the talent of Mademoist lie Agnes, decidedly the most sprightly and fascivatiug of the three belies. The rival Harlequins, Clowns, and Pantaloons may be admitted without protest, as they may figure in alter nate scenes, while their respective adventures have nothing in common. Moreover, there is plenty for them to do in the Drury-lane pantomime ; and the untiring energy andspirit with which they perform their arduous tasks is creditable to one and all of their representa tives. Declining to venture on a detailed account of the various incidents of the harlequinade, we may single out from many stirring scenes one in particular—" Mrs. Soapsud's Laundry and Drying-ground' as fuel of life and bustle, admirable in every respect, in short, a veritable " side-splitter." Here Mr. Flexmore—who to the supple attributes of our modern clown, a hybrid, inconsistent, posture-making buffoon, unites a large share of that sly humour and loutish demeanour of Joe Grimaldi, when to represent Clown successfully be longed only to real histrionic talent, were regarded as the essence of that personage—exhibited his several accomplishments with singular felicity, eliciting roars of laughter without intermission. Mr. Flexmore indeed is the life and soul of the pantomime, and the audience hold him in such esteem that whatever he attempts is sure to find favour. Unqualified praise may be also awarded to Mr. Barnes, a Pantaloon of the good old type—infirm and shattered, yet instinct with mischief, and always a victim of scrapes, in which he becomes entangled by his more versatile and flexible companion. Nor must the racy type of a dandy of fashion, by M. Deulin, pass unnoticed. The tricks and trangformations are more ingenious and in more rapid alternation tlliew than r.rm . o n f c l p a , t w er .r y o en i N e d d his w w w"b ith.liv fi L i derkal good- villia ,...eonsider....:mt sinus to prevalent topics embraoet almost every subject that has lately attained notoriety ; and the number of supernumeraries is so large, their acting so natural, and their forbearance under countless hardships of the "spill and pelt " so magnanimous, that it might almost be believed Mr. E. T. Smith kept a choice preserve of them somewhere in the neighbourhood of his establishment. To conclude, pains and expense have evidently not been spared in the endeavour to provide the holiday folks with a surfeit of enjoy tnent ; and nothing is required but a judicious use of the pruning-knife in certain lengthy passages of the introductory, burlesque to insure for " Little Jack Horner, o r . Harlequin A B C " (afternoon representations of which, by the way, are announced for every Wednesday) a long and prosperous "run. --------- Thomas Baring, Esq., M.P. I Wm. Geo. Prescott, Esq.

Mr. Buckatone, o f w h om , loth in his managerial an d puts his hand t o h e em b e lli e hes—nil tetigit quod non ornavit —has worthil y su , ta i ne d the reputation of his it may b e justly said that w hatever ho theatre by the production of the patiteruitne of "The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood, or Harlequin and the Spiteful Fairy." Among those pretty nursery tales which are never altogether forgotten in after-life by chil dren of a larger growth, that of the Sleeping Beauty is one of the most pleasing and attractive ; and in the Haymarket Pantomime its well-known incidents are in• geniously and effectively treated by Mr. Bucketone, in a vein of the richest burlesque, and beautifully illus trated by the magic pencil of Calcott. Miss Louise Leclerq, the celebrated Tepsichorean star, as the Sleep ing Beauty, bo re away the fi rs t henours of the evening. With an extr eme l y pretty f ace a nd figure, a clear, sweet delivery, and fai r y f eet t h a t beat the ground with even more sparkling rap id ity than those of Perea Nena her self, she W £.B i n a ll respects a c h a rming repro entative of th e enchanted heroine of the legend. Miss Fanny Wright, to whom was assigned the twofold duty of per sonating the Spit e f u l F a i ry i n the opening, and sub.e quently the gay ae l gra ceful Columbine, acquitted herself in both p arts to per f e ct sa , iefaci ion. In the comic portion the two most arduous charaott re were filled with great ability and success by Messrs. Arthu and Charles Leclerq, of high provincial reputation. The former, as Harlequin, displayed extraordinary activity and lightness of action, together with the utmost pace and precision in dancing. The other is an excellent clown, possessed of wondrous agility and muscular pliancy, as well as a fertile vein of humour, never dege• nerating into vulgarity. Both are unquestionably first, rate pantomimists, and were ably assisted by the fair Columbine, and by Mr. Mackay as Pantaloon. The transformation scene was particularly splendid, and the entire was a perfect success. The house was densely crowded. DIRECTORS. EDMOND SIIEPPARD SYMES, M.D., Chairman. Wm. Kenworthy Browne, Esq.

(From the Times Tho audience which assembled at this theatre on Saturday evening to do honour to Boxing night was one which might well gratify the eyes and gladden the heart of a manager. It was made evident that no tightness in the money-market can deter the lovers of pantomime from celebrating this their f e t e p ar excellence, for the opening of the doors was the s i gna l for a general rusb, which in a very short time filled the theatre from pit to ceiling. The large assembl age, h ow ever, conducted itself with the utmost decorum, and but for the crowd and the number of juvenile faces the ab sence of the usual noisy d emonstrat i on from the inhabitants of the upper reg i ons m i g ht have led any one to doubt whether we were go i ng, as our friends on the other side of the Channel say, to "assist" at the inauguration of a Christmas pantomime. One gentleman, indeed, under theinfluence of the drama or of drams, thinkin g th a t hi s genius for the mimic art excelled that of the ac t ors on the stage, during the progressof one of th e acts of the fi rs t pi e ce treated the company to a different reading of the play, but his efforts en amateur were brought to an ignominous ter mination, for they ended in his summary eviction from the theatre, and consegeent loss of the pantomime, but whether ho continued his oration for the benefit of the neighbouring cabstand this deponent knoweth not. The first piece performed was Mr. Morton's comedy of " Speed the Plough," which, strange to say, considering the onea;:ion, was listened to with great attention, and, stranger still, a rustic dance in the second act was actu ally encored—a fact perhaps without a parallel in the annals of Boxing night. At the close of the comedy it was evident that every one considered that the real business of the evening was about t o c ommence, and after a short interval the symptoms o f i m patience which had become very apparent and very no i s y among the dii majores were pat an end to by the orchestra performing ,n overture arranged by Mr. Spillane, and which com prised a very judicious selection of popular airs. The pantomime, which is from the pen of Mr. Buckstone, is entitled "The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood, or Harle quin and the Spiteful Fairy," and is founded upon the welt-known story of the Sleeping Beauty, the produc tion we believe of Monsieur Perrault. The opening ; , - - • ;74, . 411111 t,.., z , • - •4 ~; .

Great was the royal gra tification, and, in order to celebrate in a becoming manner so auspicious an event, invitations are despatohed to all the fairies of 'standing in the neighbourhood re questing them to stand godmothers to the princess. One old fairy, however, whose general amiability of character and disposition had earned for her the sebri pet of Old Spiteful, was accidentally or designedly omitted from the list, and therefore, bent upon revenge, acts the part of a wet blanket upon the occasion of the presentation of pre sents upon christening, making her appearance and de claring that when the princess arrived at woman's estate she would prick her finger with a spindle and die in consequence. Wickedness at least in a pantomime is always doomed to disappointment, and the vengeance of old Spiteful is frustrated by the superior power of a beneficent fairy, who promises sOte arrange affairs that the princess should not die, but only sleep 100 years, then to be awakened by a King's son, who, of course, was to fall in love with her at sight.. The King forbids the use of spindles throughout the land, bat it is impos- Sible to avoid destiny, so that when the Princess grows up she escapes from the guardianship of the paternal eye, and, finding an old woman spinning, in her endea vours to assist her she receives the fatal wound. She falls asleep, and with her, to keep company are all the Maids of Honour, gentlemen, officers, stewards, cooks, scullions, running footmen, guards, porters, pages, and valets. The hundred years!, although a lengthened period 'fora nap, is not interminable, and in due course the King's son arrives, becomes enamoured of her, wakes her, and claims her as his bride. Old Spiteful, however, vows to destroy their happiness, and upon the arrival of the fairy the transformation takes place. Old Spiteful becomes Pantaloon, one of her familiars Clown, the fairy Columbine, and the Prince himself Harlequin, the final result, of course, being the triumph of the Prince and Princess who are made happy by the friendly fairy. Such is the outline of the story, and the opening scene .displays Old Spiteful (Mr. Clark) seated on a warm gridiron, which unpleasant position she has been com pelled to occupy for 16 years, but release is at hand, and same unknown agent frees her from her uneasy chair. We than have the royal nursery and the model nurses— Sairey Gamp, Betsy Prig, and Mrs. Harris, who greatly delight the younger members of the audience by the gro tesque and ludicrous manner in which they first perform the duties of their nursery office, and then get comfert able after—very drunk indeed upon tea. In the visit of the royal parents to the 'nursery the remarks of their attendants created a great deal of merriment, after which we are introduced to little fairies, middle-sized fairies, and large fairies, who, under the Samphire cliffs of fairy land, are celebrating the joyous event of the birth of the princess. The banquetting-hall of silver columns is a striking piece of scenery, and here the spiteful fairy makes her appearance and utters her weird prophecy. We are then carried on in gradual stages to the awaken ing of the princess, and are introduced to the golden groves of the seven fairies, and amaranthine arcades, which constitute the transformation scene. Then begins the comic business, the whole piece terminating with a view of a baronial hall, with Christmas ai celebrated in the olden times. It is rarely that on the first represen tation of the pantomime everything works well, and those little delays, which appear almost inevitable, un doubtedly occurred on Saturday. In the preparation of one scene—the golden groves—so great was the delay that the audience displayed unmistakeable signs of im patience, but they were quickly appeased by the com pletion of the tableaux, a magnificent spectacle, which reminded one of the gorgeous magnificence of the Lyceum under the management of the late Madame Vestrie. It is but justice to say that the scenery, which is painted by Mr. Calcott, is very effective, and in the scene of the Golden Groves the artist received the well-merited tribute of a call. As regards the harlequinade, the tricks are neither very novel nor very numerous, but the dances are exceedingly well arranged, and the parts of Harlequin, Columbine, Pantaloon, and Clown are most effectively filled by Mr. A. Leclercq, Miss Fanny Wright, Mr. Mackay, and Mr. Charles Leclercq. We must not omit to add that, among he other advan tages of the Christmas entertainments at this theatre there is this great one, they are brought to a conclusion at a seasonable hour. The title of the piece de resistance for the Christmas holidays nt this elegant little theatre in Oxforl. , treet, is " Harlequin and the White Cat ; or the Princess Blanche• Sower and her Fairy Godmothers"—and, for beauty of scenery, taste and splendour of costume, and general effectiveness, it must maintain a foremost rank amongst the entertainments of the season. In the opening' we have the infant Princess at the court of her father, King Simple Simon, monarch of the Verdant Islands, and is accompanied by the well-remembered incident of the spiteful Dragonetta, in revenge for not being invited threatening vengeance on the babe. How this action goes on to execution by the transformation of her and her six attendants into white cats, and how the king is changed into a rat, i 3 pleasantly demonstrated by the skill of the mechanist. Tne White Cat has sat in the lapse of sixteen years, when we meet with one Downinthsmoutb, King of the Oh ! Oh I Islands, who proposes to his three sons that it one of them will bring him the largest pearl in the world, and show him the figure of a lovely young prin cess of sixteen, of whom no mortal has had a peep, he will abdicate his throne in favour of the fortunate finder. The conditions are fulfilled by the pearl being given by King Salmon, who is caught with a hook, and who re deems his life by the early pearl offered for and the Princess being disenchanted of her feline form according to the original story. In the transformation scene the acme of elaborate splendour is reached, in the pro duction of "the Fairy Christmas Tree," which became gradually expanded, and became dazzling by the glistening ornaments upon it, and the glittering of the gorgeously-dressed ladies amongst its branches. This scene, as a work of art and as a graceful design erace fully wrought out, elicited quite a tumult of applsuse. Miss Kate Terry, who has rapidly shot up from fairyh od into a tell, graceful girl, with high pr Anise of being speedily distinguished as an excellent artist, was The White Cat, and the fortunate Prince was most amusingly enacted by Mr. Saker, whose copiousness of broad hu mour is invaluable in such extravagant characters. Mr. Cormack was, as usual, a superlative Harlequin, and Miss C. Adams a most charming Columbine. Little Huline, the elfin Clown, achieved many marvellous gymnastic feats, and Vie veteran Paulo bore with impe netrable hide a bountiful amount of buffets and mishaps. The masterly arrangement of the choregraphic depart ment reflects exceeding credit upon Mr. Cormack, whose value and ability as a maitre de ballet are specially evinced in the Fairy Dance in the first scene, and in a dance of hop-pickers, entitled "La Garlandaise," sin gularly pretty and picturesque, and which was greatly applauded. A clog dance by Mr. Huline, and a rattling performance by Mr. Woodhouse on the new regulation drum, were received with best favour. Notwithstanding the customary impatience of the " gods "on a B .xing night, the never-fading attractions of the " Corsican Brothers" commanded their reverential behaviour, and the incomparable acting of Mr. C. Kean, in a part which he has made his own as much at he has that of " Louis the Eleventh" or "Richard the Second," has lost none of its enthralling powers over the sympathies of the Princess's audience. The pantomime at the Lyceum this year is exactly on the same priuciple as that which made such a sensation at the same house last Christmas. The introduction is a complete burlesque, acted by a regular dramatic com pany, without the addition of grotesque masks, and so great a stress is laid on the so-called " transformation scene" that when this has been exhibited, with all its glories, the spectators may at once retire, satisfied that they have virtually seen the whole entertainment,without waiting for the two or three scenes in Harlequin and Co. which appear for the mere purpose of allowing the word " pantomime" to figure in the bills of the day. " Lelia Rookh" is the title of the piece, which is con structed by an ingenious interweaving of the tales told in verse by Feramora to the princess with the prose ro macce of which the prince-poet is himself the hero, the main part of the action being occup ied b y the journey of Lalla Rookh from her father's court to Bucharia, where the story attains its close. The adversaries who molest the travellers consist of a band of Ghibers, but they have a constant protectress in the banished Peri, whs always makes her appearance when escape by natural means has become impossible. On the canvas a series of beautiful Oriental views has been wrought, each of which outshines the preceding in magnificence, tiil all are eclipsed by the " Aerial Amphitheatre," in which the benevolent Peri receives the objects of her kindly protection. Accustomed as the Loudon public have been to the most elaborate displays of fairy magni ficence from the day when Mr. W. Beverley first asto nished the world by the never-to-be-forgotten scene in the "Island of Jewels," this new combination of me chanical ingenuity with gorgeous decorations can scarcely fail to become the popular theme of gossip during the whole of the present holidays. To attempt to give a description of its peculiar (unless indeed we borrowed a technical account from a theatrical mechanist) would only show the limit at which black and white must cease to be efficient when employed to express the visible creation of an unbridled fancy. We will therefore say, in all brevity, that an abode apparently of solid gold, after the conversion of its massive columns into living women is melted into an etherial paradise of Paris, the silver brilliancy of which is wonderfully contrasted by the heavier splendour that has preceded it. The change is of course effected as gradually as possible, the object of scenes of this description being not to startle the eye b y the suddenness of the transformation, but to fascinate t it by the slow evolution of one beauty out of another. The burlesque is written by Mr. W. Stough with a [P RION 4i. STAMPftI) .5 D.] great deal of smartness, some of the puns being at once so novel and withal so elaborate that their force can not be always apprehended at once, but is no sooner perceived than an applauding roar testifies the felicity of the hit. To give the work dramatic importance, nearly the whole strength of the company is employed in its representation. Mrs. C. Dillon is the fasci natingiLalla Rookh ; Mrs. Alfred Mellon (late Miss Wool4ar), as Feramorz, is the smartest of Oriental trou badours • Mrs. Buckingham White is an "exquisite" captain Of Ghibers, whose chief assistant is a burlesque villain, played after the Robsonian fashion by Mr. Toole; Mr. Barrett, as the father of Lalla Rookh, is it tliorong,h paced despot of the old school ; and even more portentous is Fadladeen, the chamberlain, represented by Mr. S. Culhaem, with an enormous protuberance of stomach, and a turban like the " great globe itself." The principal Peri is acted by Miss Eliza Webb, a yoang lady new to the London public, and endowed with vocal capabilities above the common order ; and, as another success ul beginner, we have Miss Esther Jacobs, who represents the Princess's waitingni,ld Hinda. The performers in the trifling harlequinade consist of the veteran Mr. T. Matthews, Messrs. A. apd R. Stilt, Mr. Ricketts, and Misses A. Malcolm and Marian Lees, with the addition of Herr Zeliski and sons as posture-making "sprites." However, as we have already said, the great matter in "Lelia Rookh" is the scenery in general and the trans formation scene in particular, and therefore to Mr. Fenton, the painter, is the decided success of the work mainly to be attributed, Although anticipating the rest of his brother managers, Mr. C. Dillon opened his theatre on Christmas-eve, and proved the expediency of the operation by the - :lmmense audience that he attracted, he will not make his appear ance till to-night (Monday), when he will represent Richelieu in Sir B.

A larger concourse of people probably never assembled within the wails of Drury-lane Theatre than on Saturday night, to witness the new Christmas pantomime, which under the vigilant auspices of Mr. E. T. Smith, hail been for some time in preparation. To render the occasion still more interesting that enterprising gentleman—" pet lessee" of the Drury-lane Committee (in consequence of his strict veneration for rent-day I) had busily employed himself during the recess in renovating the interior of the house. An aspect of splendour combined with cleanli ness is now presented, and, in addition, the new decora tions are not merely bright and cheerful to the eye, but appropriate and in good taste. If on the first night of Christmas festivities managers could be persuaded to commence at once with the chief incident, and allow the pantomime to reign unmolested, such a course might lead to many desirable advantages. To begin, there would be a good chance of seeing the curtain descend before midnight an innovation greatly to be coveted. The first performance of a pantomime Li, at best, a rehearz-al, to witness which the (paying) public) is invited. As this is only a preliminary to the curtail- neents that invariably ensue ; it generally conruines at least an hour longer tha❑ subsequent representations, when, the indispensable " cuts" having been effected, the action marches with greater rapidity, the mechanical contrivances are realised more glibly, and the whole works " closer." In the next place—and this is worth consideration—actors and actresses who enjoy the esteem of the public would be spared the ungrateful labour of gesticulating through a play in dumb-show, amid the deafening exclamations of an impatient crowd. The French have what they term lever-de-rideau"—a short piece, during the performance of which, at their great theatres, the audience have time to get comfortably seated, in anticipation of the real attrac tion of the evening ; but the " lever-de-rideau" which acts the part of usher to an English pantomime has not to encounter the silent indifference of straggling and late arrivals, but the absolute scorn and noisy oppositio❑ of a multitude that fills the house before the orchestra has struck the first chord of the overture. Seriously, those respectable artists who are made to figure in such an exhibition are exposed to useless humi liation The farce of "Too Much of a Good Thing," in which the principal charact , rs were " mimed' by Miss Mary Oliver, Mrs. F. Matthews, and Mr. Roxby (for not a word they were presumed to utter could be heard, even in the stalls)—all well-deserving favourites of the public —suggested the above reflection. On Saturday night the inhabitants of the "upper regions" were more unruly, uproarious, and overbearing than in any previ ous instance we can remember. The unfortunate "pit" was never more aptly the symbol of a " dust-hole" (a chosen epi.het of the aggressive "gods"); and it was highly creditable to the occupants that they submitted to incessant annoyance with such rarely perturbed good humour. How easily these excesses might be averted by limiting the spectacle on Boxing night to the pantomime —and how reasonably, since not a man, woman, or child in the theatre bad come to see anything else—will be evident to the plainest understanding. The name of the new comic pantomime—the introduc tion to which is by Mr. E. L. Blanchard, the music by Mr. J. H. Tully, and the scenery by Mr. W. Beverley— is se long that our readers must be satisfied with a slice of it—" Little Jack Horner ; or Harlequin A B C." The opening is a burlesque allegory, which we hold to be a mistake. " Ignorance," " Intelligence," " Imagination," "Perseverance," "Anagram," "Proverb," &c., may do famously as symbolical personages in a poem ; but in a pantomime they are rather bores than otherwise. Thus the commencement of the builesque, where " Intelli gence " is engaged in strife against " Ignorance," only becomes interesting when " Imagination," en listed on the side of the former, conveys us to one of her own airy castles, in the precincts of which we are treated to a splendidchoregraphicdisplay. Here "nearly 100" fair daughters of Terpsichore, with that clever and vivacious " scorner of the ground," Miss Rosina Wright (" Rosy Wright," as she is familiarly termed by her admirers) as Queen, arrayed in etherial and sparkling costumes, executed a series of evolutions, under the name of " Grand Ballet of the Belles Lettres," which, allegorical or literal, mattered little to the audience, since it was the first thing to rouse their enthusiasm. ' Miss Rosina Wright danced in her most animated style, and (not for the first time by many) put the house in good humour with the pantomime, which from that mo ment never once " flagged " What part is enacted by Little Jack Horne/ in the burlesque may be briefly told. Jack has a good and a bad demon—" Intellgence" and " Ignorance," besides a hoary Mentor, in the guise of !‘ Proverb."

Polley taken Age• out in 1 1838 1841 1845 1848 18151 ward ADELPHT: Mr. Charles Selby, the author of the burlesque portion of the Christmas entertainment at this theatre, the " Loves of Cupid and Psyche," in the note attached to the play-bill is pleasantly .facetious upon " incipient critics," who may venture to demur to his adaptation of Apuleius' story, and deprecates animadversion by quot ing from Ovid, " Parva levee capinnt animos." We might return him his quotation, and tell him that the jokes in a burlesque, " non numero judicantur sed pon dere," and that fifty heavy old Joes are not worth one novel, double-sounding, double-meaning pun. But we have no fault to find with Mr. Selby, who has done his work with much smartness, tact, and good humour—the parody on Lempriere, in the playbill, being specially funny. It will be scarcely necessary to follow the plot, for every one knows that Cupid declined to marry Minerva, hay ing already fallen in love with Psyche ; that Venus was enraged, and Jupiter appealed to in solemn conclave of the other gods. And every Adelphi playgoer will guess at once that if Jupiter were to be represented on that stage, none other than Mr. Paul Bedford ceuld be found so aptly to embody him, that Miss M. Wilton would make a nice little Cupid, and Miss Mary Keeley a very charming Pysche. Mrs. Billington, however, who played Venue, made her debut here, and made a most favour able impression by her handsome appearance and spirited acting. After the transformation Miss Wilton and Miss Keeley, as the Watteau Harlequin and Columbine, veined and sang with much spirit. The Clown was a Mr. Henderson, who wore a moustache (shade of Grim aldi, a clown in a moustache 0, very active, wonderfully agile, and singularly unfunny. The Pantaloon, Mr Beckiugham, was the most respectable old gentleman we have ever seen, and had be but concealed his pigtail might have gone to court without causing anybody the slightest astonishment, The transformation scene is very brilliant, and the whole harlequinade, the difficul ties of the first night being surinouuted, will doubtless prove very attractive. OLYMPIC. After the "Tragedy Queen," in which Mrs. Stirling in her old character of Ann Bracegirdle was as excellent as ever, Mr. Robert Brough's burlesque "The Doge of Duralto was produced. It is hardly fair to the author to criticise ♦ery strictly his production when it is placed before the public for the first time on a Boxing right, so many contretemps may occur interfering with the harmony of the whole, and diminishing the favourable nature of the impression which might otherwise be pro duced. As a whole the burlesque is good, and it con tained some of Mr. Brough's happiest hits. Mr. Robson's performance was, as it always is, inimitable. The curtain dropped amidst rounds of applause. SURREY. " It is a well accredited fact that the Surrey panto mime has always been the best in London." So says the ma alter, who of course ought to know best, and all wo have to remark it , that if that were true in former years, the pantomime he has now produced will do no dh;cro.dit to his former reputation. He bas chosen his plot this year from Shakespeare, and he and his assist. ants have worked in a manner not unworthy of the im. mortal bard. The pantomime, Queen Mab,or Harlequin Romeo and Juliet, was prefaced. breSir:Tohn To biz?* fine old comedy of "The noneymoon," compressed into three acts, which was acted in dumb show. At last the curtain drew up upon the " Glen of Gloom," in the Demons of Mischief and Despair were introduced, meditating mischief, and beat upon making everybody as uncomfortable as possible. This was soon changed, however, into the more cheerful view of the " Holy Grove of Christmas," and that again into " Queen Mab's Fairy Retreat in Happy Land"—one of the most gorge ous scenic representations is has ever been our lot to witness. Mr. Glover was a capital Harlequin ; Miss Willtnott showei to still more advantage as Columbine. Mr. Buck, as Clown, was the source of exquisite merri went ; and Mr. Bradbury took the kicks and cuffs that fall to the lot of Pantaloon with a meek simplicity that was truly edifying. In addition to these there was a "Sprite," personified by "Young Bond," who made it matter of doubt whether nature had endowed him with the usual amount of bones in his body or no ; be seemed an aggregation of gristle, managed to shove himself with his foot where more ordinary people use their h n is, and performed a variety of other feats that, upon the whole, were morn wonderful than pleasing. We must not forget that political allusions, without which a panto mime is always insipid, went off with admirable effect. Even a Surrey audience had nothing to object to the Princess Royal's dowry of 40,0001., while the patriotism of the audience rose to fever pitch when the ,Clown, in the dress of a British soldier, had a terrific combat with Nana Sahib, slew him, as a matter of course, in single combat, rammed him bodily into a mortar, and then fired him off and bespattered the wall with his members ; while every allusion to Wilson and Havelock and our other Indian heroes was received with immense ap plause. Upon the whole, we can warmly recommend the Surrey pantomime this year. We do not kuow whether it is the beet in London, as the manager pre tests it is ; but we can truly say that if it is among the worst, then the brains of our theatrical artists have this year been much more than usually fruitful in pantomimic devices. ASTLEY'S. I❑ addition to the fine military spectacle of "The Storming and Capture of Delhi," and the elegant scenes in the circle, which are always so gratifying to the juve nile visitors, they were presented with an equestria❑ comic pantomime, entitled " t3u Quixote and his Stud Rosinante ; or, Harlequin Sancho Psnza," which was produced with all that regard for artistic effect for which this establishment is so justly celebrated. The panto mime, which is from the pen of Mr. Nelson Lee, opens in the ball of chivalry, where certain Sprites, named Brighteye., Pelle), Sparkle, and Brilliant, full of the spirit of mischief, are enjoying a mystic revel, which is suddenly interrupted by the entrance of the demon chief Enchantment, who relates his adventures, and states that he has succeeded in securing a victim in Don Quix ote, whose brain he has turaed with stories of enchant ment, and who firmly believes himself to be a true and knight. At this juncture the fairy, Truth, steps in, and declares that the Fairy Queen, Sincerity, has de termined to protect the Don, whereupon the demon lo es his temper, and bets his crown that he will foil the Queen's intentions. The scene changes to the Land of True Happitiess and Delight, the residence of the fairy race. Here a council is held, and the joy bells proclaim the arrival of au equestrian fairy procession, followed by the ear of state, containing the Fairy Queen,who alights and secures the services of the Don for her festive sport. Returning to common earth again, we are introduced to Don Quixote's study, where we find his housekeeper consigning his books to oblivion. Then we have a wild and desolate heath, whereon the Don and Sancho, mounted on their respective steeds, are on the look-out for adventures. The encounter with the flock of sheep, the attack on the Benedictine monks, and the battle of the windmills, follow in rapid succession. Next we are introduced to a double•bedded room at the inn, without satisfying the innkeeper, and the tossing of Sancho in a blanket. Once mora the scene changes to the amphi theatre of the ducal palace, where the hero is fairly over thrown, and then restored to reason by the Fairy Queen. The transformation then takes place to the Temple of Beauty, in the City of Splendour, and the fun and frolic is carried on to a sufficient extent to satisfy even those who take the greatest delight in the exhibition of fantas tic tricks, and gambols, and evolutions. The changes were effected with great cleverness; and the " monster expanding car," drawn by " twelve milk white steeds abreast," was not the slightest attraction of the evening. Harlequin was played by Mr. EL Hemmings, Columbine by Miss Julia Weston, Pantaloon by Signor Lupino, and the merry Clown by Croueste. ST. JAMES'S. Professor Wiljalba Frikell here astonished and per. plexed his visitors by his display of physical and natural magic. STRAND. The pantomime here, "Harlequin No ve lty ; or, The Princess who lost her Heart, is from the pen of M r. Leicester Buckingham. It is full of satire, and is also well crammed with puns —some good and some so exe crably bad as, the business being to excite mirth and laughter, to be much better than the good ones. The 1 performers seemed to enter with much spirit into their parts, but it would be unjust sot to mention Miss Craven as an excellent Columbine, and Herr Keit as a Sprite likely, by his extraordinary agility, to throw most clowns C !' ,r el — , r- - 7 u ----,/ -, --- (---:--,' .....,..^e• e- e.-40: ...

It is entitled "Joe Miller ; or, Harlequin Mirth, Jollity, and Satire." Doughty was a capital Clown ; while Mr. F. Charles as Harlequin, Mdlle. Theodore as Harlequina, Mr. Halford as Pantaloon, and Mr. Wright, as Sprite, were very efficient in their respective characters. A gorgeous closing scene brought to a conclusion a most deservedly successful pantomime, which appears to have every prospect of a long and suc cessful ran. SADLER'S WELLS. The title of the pantomime produced at this theatre is " Harlequin and Beauty and the Beast; or, Goody Two Shoes and Mother Bunch's Book-case in Babyland." We confess our inability to afford our readers any cor rect idea of the plot. If the proprietors would cut the whole thing down by one-hal , and reduce the time of speaking from prestissimo to moderato, the pantomime might be made an acceptable one. The house was crowded to the ceiling, and the whole of the stage man agement was faultless. GREAT NATIONAL STANDARD. The pantomime here is "Georgey Porgey, Padding, and Pie; or, Harlequin Old Daddy Long •Legs," for the beauty of scanery and decorations might certainly vie with the production of many whose resources in that respect are generally supposed to be much more exten sive than those of the Standard. There was the usual noisy interest of the pantomith after the transformation by Messrs. Duon and Enderson as Clowns, Mr. H. Bird as Pantaloon. Miss A. Cushnie, the accomplished danseuse formerly of the Haymarket Theatre, as Colum bine, and Mr. W. Smith as Harlequin ; the tricks and changes were numerous and pleasingia variety, though they certainly sometimes exhibited a tardiness of mo tion which somewhat diminished their effects. WYLD'S GLOBE-DIORAMA OF INDIA. This most instructive and entertaining of the exhibi tions of London has never yet received in a single day such a 'large number of visitors, not less than 10,000 persons having attended the different lectures and diora mas at various portions of the day. The magnificent Indian Diorama was 'of course the great feature of attraction. The Indian Diorama shows first a general view of Lucknow from the river Goomty, &c., a series of views of old Delhi, a general view of modern Delhi, its fortifications and environs, from the English can tonments—including the Chandne Choak, or principal street, and the scene of the insurrection, native bazaars, and other scenes of great interest. The grand palace and gardens of the old Kings of Delhi, the great Selimghur Fort, and the glorious and successful attack on Delhi, bring the diorama to a successful close. The principle scenes and events are lucidly explained by lectures. The view of Russia and Turkey, lectures on physical and other features of geography, illustrated by the Great Globe, divided with the Indian Diorama the attention of visitorsl K'HN'S MUSEUM. The alterations which have been made by Dr. Kahn in his museum, have served greatly to increase its sphere of usefulness. Instead of being, as was formerly the case, a mere anatomical museum, there is now added to this valuable physiological collection all the apparatus necessary for the elucidation of the truths or experimen tal science, and, in fact, every adjunct which can render it really super-eminent as a gallery of science. Among the many objects which were examined with interest, were the large electrical machine, a number of Leyden jars and batteries, a very ingenious piece of mechanism for showing the revolutions of the earth in its orbit, the moon around the earth, and ti►e manner in which night and day succeed ea.'h other, and how light and heat are diffused over the surface of the globe. Among the curio sities of the physiological collection, is a series of prepa rations showing the various stages through which the frog passes in arriving at its complete development. It is an exceedingly interesting series. The microscopical series is also highly interesting. Lectures on Natural Philosophy, including one on the air we breathe, physio logy, electric phenomena, and the philosophy of repro duction, are delivered at different parts of the day by Dr. Kahn and his assistant. The lecture and museum were attended on Saturday by an unusually large num ber of visitors. CANTERBURY HALL. Double wag the triumph achieved by Mr. Morton upon Rixing-day, his spacious ball being crowded both when opened in the day time and the evening. Tole double performance, a real boon to the holiday million, was a most happy hit on the part of the spirited and popular proprietor, and the excellence of - the entertainment pro vided on the occasion redounds greatly to the credit of the establishment. Each concert consisted of elections from " La Traviata" and others of the most celebrated modern operas, in which Madame Marietta was particu larly distinguished, and of divers ballads and glorious comic songs, in which the drolleries of Macknay and Sam Collins were rewarded with uproarious laughter and applause. By the general excellence of its arrange ment,, and the high talents of its company, the Caoter bury Hall has deservedly attained a foremost position among those places of metropolitian entertainments which possess a genuine claim to the patronage of the public, and to such of our friends as are as yet strangers to its attractions, we can recommend a visit with pe , rfeet safety. They will ther e encoun ter nothittihat can offend either ear or eye, whilst they will enjoy a rich harmonic treat, probably excelling-, bat oertainly not falling short of their most sanguine expe.-tations. Mr. Morton from the be;inning of his career has made it his study to deserve success, and, we are glad to say, he now commands it to his heart's content ALBERT SMITH'S MONT BLANC AND VESUVIUS.—It is almost superfluous to say that a single place has not been vacant any evening since Mr. Smith resumed his p pular entertainments at the Egyptian-hall ; nor need we dwell upon the excellence of the monologue on Mont Blanc, Naples, Pompeii, and Vesuvius, since the public are already aware of its striking peculiarities, and ever ready at the opening of the doors to fill to overflowing the elegant Salle in which the wonders of these localities are so cleverly indicated. In addition to his usual per formance., Mr. Smith appeared on Saturday afternoon at three o'clock. Every day during the week a morning representation is to be given. MADAME TUSSAUD'S ExHlßlTloN.—Another highly interesting addition has just been placed in the museum of this popular establishment, consisting of a portrait of General Havelock. This gallant soldier is represented in the present uniform of a lieutenant-general, decorated with numerous military orders ; among them, the Order of the Bath. The lenebs is considered truthful, and the figure is admirably constructed. The public flocked, as usual, on Saturday to this most attrac tive and enduring of our London exhibitions. THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, in the vicinity of the Colosseum, were crowded, beyond precedent of any former year. The extreme mildness of the weather, and the reduced price of admission from a shilling to sixpence until Jan. 6, as a ell as the increased attraction of this most interesting collection, contributed, doubtless, to the lariat, attendance of vi-itors, amongst whom were a goodly proportion of juveniles, whose delight was expressed in shouts of laughter, especially in the vivacity of the drinking bears, and the monkey. THE NATIIONAL GALLERY, Trafalgar-square, and the English portion of the collection at Marlborough-house, Pall-mall, were fast closed on Saturday, to the great disappointment of some tb usands of persona , many from distant parts of the country. The House of Lords was visited by upwards of 7,000 persons. Also the East India-house Museum, the United Service Museum, Scotland-yard ; Geological Museum, Jermyn-street; St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, the Tower, and other objects of interest. DR. W. B. MARSTON'S MUSEUM 07 ANATOMY.—The wondrous mscbanism of the human frame, illustrated by beautiful preparations and models, is one of the most curious scientific exhibitions in the metropolis. CASINO DE VENISE.—This elegant place of entertain ment will doubtless, during the coming , holidays, re ceive its fair share of public support, which should be considerable. The hall is one of the moat elegant, in every respect, in London—handsome as many of the new ones, constantly springing up, are admitted to be. The greatest order and decorum is, at all times, ob served; and the band, which is under the direction of Mr. Packer, is of a very high order. CHRISTY'S IMINSTRELS.—We know of no entertain ment that will so well repay the trifling cost and time of a visit to the renowned Christy Minstrels, who are per. forming nightly to delighted audiences, at the Poly graphic Hall, King William-street, Strand. CLIFTON SUSPENSION BRID44E.—The scheme for com pleting this structure has been abandoned for the pre sent session. Some negotiations which took place between the provisional directors and the legal representatives of Mr. J. H. Greville Smyth, of Ashton Court, having proved abortive, sufficient time was not left for obtaining the amount required to be deposited in compliance with the Parliamentary standing orders, and the pro ject has therefore been of necessity deferred for another year.
