DRAMA.

LYCEUM. Last night Mr. James Bennett, a
gentleman who has achieved soma reputation in America and
the provinces, appeared at this theatre In the character of
Lego. Mr. Bennett has a perfect knowledge of stage tra-
ditions, mixed with *certain amount of original conception
and thought/dame, which will render him a useful mans-
bee of any metropolitan company; that he will ever take
a leading position and shake any of the existing favourites
from their thrones, or the Dii ',Wares of the past from their
hold on the memory, we strongly doubt. At the present
day, however, it is a pleasant thing to be enabled to record
a Ent appearance which evinces talent and appreciation of
the author, and is totally =disfigured by tapeless and 0:1••
onto. Of the manner in which the other =anon= weft
sustained, and of the scenery and appointments, we as chari-
tably silent.

ADELPHL—Mr. Alfred Wigan has appeared in

ing a ruperintendeat to manage the garden at Chiswick as a

The Gardeners' Chronicle comments upon the
extent to which the London market for fruit and vegetables
has become supplied, through the superior advantages of
climate, with French produce. The French asparagus,
"slide, apricots, cherries, unchain, tomstoer, and similar
article, that slimly feed Covent-genlen are declared to be
merely the heralds of what is coming. "In the department
of Oen, a &atria due west of Toulon/ e, preparations are
milting for a kale with the earth ; sad a Gw detail', ex-
Veining the tenons of out-of-door crops. published by M.
Dumas, the superintendent of the model farm of Bun' in
that country, show plainly enough what may be expected
from One akne. In the first place, at the end of March or
