That the regular, or, in other words, the tragic
discos has panted esty roach from the welt to the east is
news corarocapleos of recent theatrical history. While the

;sit night the house was meradal in every part, and
Ike direferni of the arndiesee throughout not only
*sty hat teessrksbly discriminating and prat. It seemed
Mbar strange to sea wall-worn hunt= jackets and cheap
tenon prints of unosenin colons, mot only recognising but
applauding a delicate delineation of passion. Such however
was the fact. Extremes meet, and the instinct of a compara-
tively rude and uncultivated assemblage seemed to reach
at once the results of refined and searching criticism.

The exaggerated laudstioos bestowed by the Pa-
dden =mica' feudiskwistes cm Tamberlik's singing, end the
waniacal babbling. =eat his celebrated note, the sit do
iteitriae, en stirred the wrath of a French dramatic author as
tet beam Min tri write a faros turning the entire matter into
the mad profmnall ridicule ; a Woe fa which an elderly gen-
tleman, =ldes with the prevalent mania, is made to give
his daughter and a large sum of mosey to a person whom he
will persist In thinking of and treating a. the eminent tenor.
In a =slob of this piece by Mr. Charles Selby, which was
produced lest night ruder the title of Caught by Me Bars,
Mr. Sirs. Seems does duty for Signor Tansberlik, but the
rest of the original vaudeville is closely followed. This is
60011Wha =fortunate, as our English tenor has no "pedal
este cm which he founds a tour do forgo, mod Mel
pomeasion of which is one of the turning-plots of the action:
Der has he, to the best of our belief, ever appeared in Othello,
the character which he undertakes in the private operatic. at

pally lesaioll nature of the pica Is taken into consideraties,
thassime tat blots et the smallest size which are forgotten
and paved over in the stupendous absurdity of the whole.
The victim of mistaken identity is represented by Me. Jame
Regent, with a quaint Rattled fidelity sad startle rendering
in the first portion, sad a breadth of ludicrous exaggeration
at the end, which have each their :admire= bob

blended, tend to keep the audience in one roar from fits
entrance to the fall of the curtain. It is curious to observe
on bow small a cherry-stone Mr. Rogers can carve, with what
Dutch sernsacy he can pourtray, and then to watch him
using his double-tie brush and mumbling in lights and
shales, indiscriminately, anyhow, eo long as his effect is
prrduced.
Mr. H. J. Turner played the musical enthusiaat with
heartiness and vigour Mr. Mowbray will be improved when
he h. learned that a gentleman talking to a lady in a draw-
ing-room remove. his hat, and Miss E. Hughes when she
'members that her duty le to amuse the audience, not to be
amused herself.

Pella of laughter rang throughout the piety, and Mr,
Rogers and the author were loudly celled for at the fall of
the curtain.

GaosveProit AND WEST-END RAILWAY TERMINUS
HOTEL COMI'ANT.—Tbe ' first annual general meeting of
shareholders in this company was had yeste/day, at the
alba Parliament-etreet, Westminster • Captain Bulksley in
the chair. Mr. Duke, the secretary, nod the report, which
stated that advantageous arrengensents had beeaentered into
for the lease to the company for 99 yam, of a site with a
hostage of about SOD feet by a depth of 80 feet, which would
form part of the Weahend terminus, at Pimlico. Shares

which, 'loth the rum of 30,000/. to be borrowed, makes an se-
gregate of 90,0001., an amount which was considered !UM-
clew tojostity the immediate oomnseacement of the building.
The chairman, in tooling the adoption of the report, oh-
reread that having hod great experience as a director in the
Groat Western Hurl Company, at Peddington, he had
great faith in the prosperity of this company. Ho believed
that every hold built at a railway station laid bees success-
ful. Thin company would embrace Belgravia, a rapidly
improving neighbourhood, uld which had but two or three
hotels at present. At etorting come opposit on had been
offered to the formation of the company, which had damaged
them slightly ' • but they bad now overcome than difficulties.
lie believed the Great Waw' and London end North
Watern were making arrangemenre to cross what was
celled the "Punch" line, therefore their traffic would
merge into their hotel. Messrs. Holland, the enntrectom,
hed offered to take 10,IVO 'Sara, on condition that they bad
the Weighing of the hotel ; and they w ul4 furnish It at
the acme rate as they did oho Great Western Hotel. Mr.

fence feg.ifod all foreign *gates/den, this country " hes a

gladness by the free people of Great Britain."
