ROYALTY.
A clumsily-constructed farce called COllll6
Adonis, oontaining a peppery major of the aid doge type,
a black marmot, two young ladies, a lova", and a " pew-
•ation" character for the low comedian, wee produced at
this house last night, and performed with the omateat as-
sistance of the prompter. The young ladies appeared to

sr. JAYS'S% HALL, PICCADILLY.
Commodore Nutt and Miss Minnie Warren, with
Genoa Tom Thumb sad bit wife sad child, have Maned
to this ball alter a very sucemsful tear is the provinces.
They sew give three perform/ men every day of a very mis-
cellaneous character, the object being to display the dra-
matic versatility of the two little gentlemen, and the wool
West of the two little ladies. Commodore Nett is
geoulne comedian, of cooidderable humour, reminding us
very forcibly of Mr. Backstops ; sod the General, though
sornewkuit larger io body and heavier io style, is exceed-
ingly amusing. Hill stump-speech is one of the peat
features of the entertaintoest.
