DRAMA.

UIU UY-L.tNE.

The short, but brilliant, dramatic season having
terminated at Drury.lane, the 1.... re IT•Optlfildi.lo theatre
last evening with an entertainment which. however dero-
gatory it toiAtit appear vs old-taabiosied stieklers the
' legitimate," Will sufficiently ctractive to fill that house to
ovirdawing with the general public. Tke transformation
was as complete Ai it was soileb-n. The tragic cage,
eo-
vend with green liaise, had .I:•ippeare I to make room
for the circle, sprinkled wit's siwdust ; the or-
chestra had migrated t the first Sat ; and
the biped actors of the prer:.lirig wee• had
given plate to "Tie Horse of the Sun" an.l the " Wild
Courur. of *the Prairies," both of which famous stud. were
represented by certain venerable loosing spotted quadru-
ped., with wivi.e appearance we rAf•iiiil ourselves rather
hmiliar. The pi rform 412C0, although taki..g place entirely
is the circle, was Yaril.:l and bigh:y entertaining, and sue-
tained the interest of the audience without flagging to the
close. The hr Acres Elliot were hugely amusing with
pair of beer barrels, which they caused to perform the
moat gratr.que evolutions on their tees, and Sting from
one to another with a fearless d.sregard of broken BOWL
&ram 'Gammon tumbled his "two talented sous" about
and Wessel them inside our, with a stoicism Vial was edify-
lag in a parent and )ir. Barry, the c:owa, made a meek
parliamentary *pewit which was ao dull as almost to pass
for a real one. Heraledi 1, a. usual, exhibited the very
poetry of equitation ; and Mr. Eaton Stone tamed the Wild
He of 111 Pit/4101 with,lie wonted vigour and dexterity.
The docility aad prom of the horse was exhibited to peace-
tioo by Mr. J. Itu..rl and Msdlle. Negotiant, who managed
two beautiful anim..is in a manner that drew down thunders
ef applause, and the creoing's entertainment wound up
with a double act by Messrs. Heenan& s and W. 0. Dale,
is which tfuie two famous equestrisns strove manfully for
She palm. The au helve we. highly pleased with every-
thieg tut the cleans, who it was generally felt talked when
they ought to tumble, and thus protracted a performance
which otherwiee wn'sld have terminated at an hour suitable
far the juvenile portion of the sudirsee.
