MUSIO.
YIIBICAL!MILRTAMIANTS.

_ .
Mr. Kennedy—well known as the man on whose
shoulders the mantle of John Wilson los fallen—los been
giving, during the seasoe, his entertainment, The Soap
of Soothed," at 'the nsiehall in Store-street, the locality
so long occupied by his celebrated preammeor. This eater-
tabut.ent he brought, for the prompt, to a close on Monday
evening. His farewell performanosdrew together a crowded
audience, of whom no small portion oessisted of our
brethren " Wyatt the Tweed ; " but their tooth us isem esoned
to be nearly squalled by that of the " louthron " part
of the assembly. The lyrical poetry of Burns is no longer
what it was in his owe day, a sealed book to the people of
Ragland. His songs, so fall of his owa spirit and the spirit
of his country, as well u the beautiful melodies to which
they are married, are now well known among us, and esti-
mated at their just value ; and the same thing is benne
more and more the rags with the more =cant poetry and
music. Mach of this change may be ascribed to the labours
of Wilson, daring his long and successful career;
and Mr. Kennedy walks in his footsteps with
congenial energy. Mr. Kennedy, like his predesemor
it a thorough Plootchman--Bostoh in heart and soul, in sea-
amens and feeling, and especially in the love of the mimic
of his edgy, land. He is gifted with ths requisites to be
its interpreter ; be has a yoke if great power and beauty,
• delicate ear, sad enough of musical acquirement to
satisfy the demands of art. He sings, as such music ought
to be rang, with great simplicity, and everyone who hears
him is struck with the beauty, clearness, and force of his
musical elocution. Perhaps he falls short of Wilma in
richaess of humour, while in serious declamation be goes
beyond him. Wilson never reached Kennedy in the lofty
grandeur thrown by him Kato thelfamous battle song of
Bomockburn.

Is his entertainment of Meaty evening Mr. Kennedy
introduced Burns's famous cantata, " The Jolly Beggars,"
a poem esteemed one of the poet's happiest achievements.
"Such a collection of humourous lyrics connected by a
vivid poetical description," said the Qsarterf y Review, "is
not, perhaps, to be paralleled in the Haskell language."
This poem, previously little known, was Winded in Thom.

state of the Deptford Theatre—once • respected home of
the drama—has shacked =ay • speculator with theatrical
aspirations. Whatever has been the muss, however, which
bee kept Grawarish as keg without • playhouse, It is sow
thoroughly defeated. sad Ur. Settee Parry last sight
opened hie sow house with as evident determination to
make it roooseeful. Oar sew manager has studied the
signs of the time to some purpose. He has not regarded the
Greenwich of Use present as the Greenwich of the past, tad

past genius al the place, is thi;shape of a few ballet (imams

light and elagaat vaudeville theatre, which reminds us
somewhat of the Olympic, though it is not quite as large.
His company is well chorea, his dream, sainsery, sad stage
aceesecries me brilliant aced faultlass, and he opened whit
a new burlesque by Mr. F. C. Barnard, called Peed and
Insoyess, the little drsam of the Pod Boy, sad the old
fame of the Lottery Ticket.
The Post Boy was played first, Mr. Parry mprewecting
old Joe Sparrit—the character which the late Jaram
Rogers made so popular at the Strad. Mr. Parry's per-
fortnaom was natural and pleasing, aced Mien Bessie Foote
