VOITSDEN'S ENTERTAINMENT.

14st night, Mr. Vousden opened the Queen's Hall,
1-street, with his celebrated entertainment, technically
" The Unity of Nations," bu., with all respect to
`alented &lisle, we think the name might be changed
"The Illustration. of Nations," for anything to equal
life-like pictures which this versatile genius presents
la audience, of the persons and character of almost
nations, is nowhere else to be found. There is a
darity about the people of every nation; but the
a-t clflienny on the part of the man who Undertakes to
‘resent such lies in holding "the mirror up to nature,' so
t Show what is intended in a fair and 'honest light.
thing is trequently overdone, ad 10 often underdone ;
the perfection IS to steer clearn of the extremes, and
as near as possible to nature. In witnessing
to4IDPIs of this sort we have frequently had the misfor—
thee to see most lamentable failures t and although, en
14,0lher hand, we have seen excellent attempts made
,)):attis the original, it remained for Mr. Vonsden to
(t,',,t'entrate (as far as possible) in himself the manners
or Personal attributes of other nations to such a degree
olerfection we have never seen equalled, and probably
dolt, never be surpassed. D is a passion or a fashion
4„,,1 un to• see' the- people of other countries distorted
Infr,' us ; to behold their actions held up in the most
llN:enlous light. 'This may make the unthinking laugh,
Ir, the jufatious grieve. Now, when you look on
f41,41r,n as aYankee, it is not the shadow; you see the
V,Xentnekian—neither under nor overdrawn—in all his
Itinness, without the trouble of crossing the Atlantic:
tia,?'°ll want to be amused by a veritable living French
Venig master, go and see Vousden. This is,one of the
t4,st representations—more true to lite theft it is possible
Ipie°neeive, and carried out in every respect' in the true
I „lit- Then come we nearer home. Our Jack tar Is
irli'nrY,lnch of him a sailer. But we must tur to our
Sod John Bull the "Land o' Cakes," and then Green
01*Old Ireland." In these—we say it without joking
Vousden is "at home." In the character of the
Dublin Car Driver," alic's " Jarvey," he has, nor never
kl!Lhave, an equal on earth. In this and the Frenchman
klei Worth going any distance and paying any money to
him. It must be recollected that Mr. Vousden's
Vits does not stop" even at; the perfection which he
tli"igs into all his characters. He combines
in the poet and
e Musician with the actor—a tria juncta tino, and o
kl f
ke„h high character, that one is puzzled as well as
trAted to find the combination so highly developed in
name person. He sings with judgment and feeling.
tad makes his audience feel that he does so. He performs
hith ease and graenfulness, and, above all, he conveys a
bB,t idea of. the person and country he represents ; and
have no hesitation in saying that since his last visit

changes his dress and identity from one nation and
L'-Pson to that of another raises the admiration. The
It„'l,se is beautifully fitted up, and from the excellence
15,1 variety of the entertainment (of which we shall hava
L.sPeak in detail anon) there is no doubt the people oS
T'kverpool will hasten to enjoy a treat .6 rich and rare.

t/"'ELicz °Rum's LvcrunE.—The first of two lectures
thu,,L; the, subject of Austrian misrule in Italy Was riven at
orcert-ball, last night, by the distinguished Italian
th";le, Felice Orsini. There was a very small attendance,
C'Y three or four benches having any occunan's. The
etgre contained many more minute details than were
va~en by Signor Orsini, -at the Clayton-ball, a few weeks
11°, but its subject and character were generally similar:
tuns striking instances were narrated to exemplify the
I!4tetn of e-pionage; and of secret accusation, on which so
4en of Austrian rule in Italy rests.
