T iIEATRICAL LICENSE.-

Mr. Daniel Lawry, the proprietor of the " Nightingale
Palace," Berington-hill, applied for a license to perform
theatrical representations, the same as the Park, the Colos-
seum, and other theatres. Mr. Bremner appeared for the
applicant. The magistrates presiding on the occasion were
Messrs. Raffles, J. H. Turner, Booth, and Rankin. Mr,
Bremner produced high testimonials as to Mr. Lowry's charac-
ter, and his fitness to carry en the house, which he had done
for some years, and there never was any complaint against
him. Inspector Horne was examined, and he stated that Mr.
Lowry carried on the " Palace " in a creditable and respe:ta hie
manner. The magistrates deemed the case sufficiently strong,
and granted Mr. Lowry the license at once.

THE JULLIEN CONCERTS AT THE
PHILHARMONIC.
We would remind our readers,.of the concert this
evening at the Philharmonic-hall, under the conduct of
Prince G alitz in . The programme is published elsewhere:
it contaitis-some gems of instrumental art. The admirers
of Jullien when he lived were legion ; let us have a
leg,ion of, an audience on both .occasions, and thus
testify our appreciation of the most original and talented
of modern artistes.

CLAYTON-HALL—VALENTINE VOUSDEN.
All those who have gone to see and hear Valentine
Vousden, at the Clayton-hall,—and, as the house has
been nightly crowded, the difficulty would be to find one
who has not,—have asked the question—Who is
Valentine Vousden ? what countryman is he ? Some
will persist in saying "Why, of course, he is a German,
yes, a Gerinan Jew; else how could he so- well sustain
the character of Elizabeth Winkleman, with her Buy,
buv my Broom ; '" another will have it that he mast be
a Yankee, or he never could go-a-head so fast ia the
praise of his country both in tak and action; and after
enumerating the wonders that they have perftrmed,
which would certainly tend to make all believe that
America is a nation which licks creation. When he sings,
"I'm a Yankee." they are perfectly convinced that he is
an importation from that country. But he no sooner
assumes the character of " Monsieur Jacques Alphonso
de la ChaSsen" than. some doubt appears to exist, and
he is at once put down as a Frenchman. Who but a
Frenclinia.n they say, could be so obsequiously polite—
who could dance with such grace and elegance, and
who but a Frenchman would attempt to illustrate by
dancing, the peculiar characteristics of each nation.
Others will have it that he is an Englishman, and go so
far as to assert that he was in his early youth appren-
ticed to the sea, but ran away and turned "strolling
player," because he " looks every inch a sailor." But
when he makes his appearance as " Padd • Brannagau,"
those who first believed he was a 'German, or an

Could any but an Irishman tell the grief and woes
or the pleasures and enjoyments of "-Ould Ireland's
sons" with the same zest and feeling ? Could any but an
Irishman sing, and give with such peculiar and national
anecdotes, in illustration of an Irish cabman's life as a
regular born Irishman, " The Irish Jaunting Car ?
and when he says, " Do you want a car, Tour honour,"
all are perfectly satisfied that he is an Irishman. But
in the entertainment lie also appears as " Sandy M‘liaty."
in full Highland costume, and then all Scotchmen would
boldly flaim him for their own, as their " plain soldier
laticlie." It is not for us to say to which nation he
really belongs. Suffice it to say that his entertainment
of " The Unity of Nations," is complete ; and whether
representing the. type of one nation or the other, Mr.
Vousden is equally happy and at home, in the per-
sonification and peculiarities of one and all. The
immense success, and the crowded houses he has drawn
to Clayton-hall, is a sufficient proof of his popularity.
