THE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.

The ;management and artistes, one and all, of the
Royal Amphitheatre are set at rest on the question of
preliminary arrangements. The pantomime at this
house on Saturday night was decidedly successful, and
we hope we can predict for it a long and profitable run.
It is entitled " Davy .Jones's Locker," the dialogue of
which we gave on Saturday. Though not presenting
many original features, that,want is fully compensated by
the style in which it has been got up. To the scope of the
story we -need not now refer, The prelude scene is good,
and was well carried out in every point. The bewildered
look and actions of the author, the appearance of the
spirit of pantomime and commerce, together with that
of the view of the River- Mersey, at the touch of the
magic wand' were all done with spirit and effect.
The opening scene of the pantomime, in which the
Lively Lass" is seen foundering at sea, was among
the best pictorial displays in the entertainment, and pro-
duced 'most intense sensation. The labouring of
the dismantled ship, the surging of the billows,
and their angry roar as they broke upon the
coast, and the ultimate enguiphing of the vessel were
thrilling, and, strange as it may seem, were followed by
bursts of applause. The exterior and interior of
" Davy Jones's Locker," the grotto of the Fairy. Queen
and her bower, were likewise all conceived and repre-
sented admirably. So much for the scenic and me-
chanical accompaniments. In regard to the acting and
singing, they were in harmonioas keeping with the
other parts ; all the characters were rendered well.
There was an evenness of effort in the whole; and as a
necessary consequence, the effect was pleasing. The
ballet was tastefully arranged, and so managed as
to reflect the highest credit on Mr. Martin and Miss
Bramah. The introductory groupings and pas in the
fairy grotto were received with deserved applause.
The dancers whirling through their mazy evolutions,
amid the gay and gorgeous trappings of the grot, over
which fell a flood of dazzling light, were almost perfect
in the ideal representation of fairy land. In the comic
portion, there was the usual amount of pantomimic
tricks and jokes which scarcely ever fail to excite the
mirth, particularly of juveniles, to whom, indeed, it is
generally addressed, and never meets but with' a welcome
rteeption. There was, however, no lack of telling points
and pert allusions to current events, both national and
local. The part of Harlequin was well sustained by
Mr. Martin, and Mr. Foster, as clown, saluted the spec-
tators with the usual " Here we are " in such a style as
secured the good opinion and cachinnatory sympathy of
the " house' throughout the night. As a whole the
pantomime is well conceived and cleverly got up. It is
well suited to " shoot folly as it flies," and, as such, has
a claim on the patronage of the public.

MONEY MARKET, &c.

The railway traffic returns of the United Kingdom, for
week ending Dec. 17, show an increase of £37,890 over
same week last year.
The first annual drawing of bonds of the Turkish 6
per cent. loan; of 1858, took place yesterday. 97 bonds,
representing. £50,000 of 1 per cent. on the nominal
amount of the loan, were drawn, and will be paid off at
par by the contractors on the
.Ist March next.—Daily
Hews.

The Mornivg Herald says, there was ft moderately
active demand for. money at the Bank, but it was not of
a character.to lead to any apprehension ,of pressure.
Out of doors the enquiry increased, though only to the
extent of supporting the terms for the negociation of
first-class bills at 2 per cent.

The funds opened at a slight improvement, int showed
dulness in the afternoon. The latest quotations were,
however, a trifle better than those of yesterday. The
principal British railway stocks were strengthened in the
afternoon by the limited supply of stock in the market.
The demand for money has increased, But there was no
pressure. No gold was taken from the Bank for the
Continent. The Russian exchange experienced, this
afternoon, a movement unfavourable to this country.
The Bank return shows that the stock of bullion is
nearly stationary.—Daily News.

Although the political feeling is favourable, and there
is renewed tendency to firmness on the Paris Bourse, the
English funds continue inactive, and nearly all other
descriptions of securities show heaviness. In the general
discount market, to-day, the -demand has been very
active. At the Bank the applications were also com-
paratively large, but less than in other quarters. In the
foreign exchanges the rates on France were slightly
higher. The railway market has exhibited a inner
appearance, chiefly owing to the small supplies of stock
brought forwhrd. The heavier British descriptions
have especially improved.—Ziines.

THE CHRISTMAS PANTOMIMES.

Amon,g the numerous attractions by which Christ-
mastide is harbingered or accompanied, probably none
are more anxiously looked forward to, or more grate-
fully enjoyed, than those derived from the pantomimes,
which are, by the force of inveterate custom, looked on
as part of the garniture of the season. The elegant
and pleasing evolutions—the graceful witcheries of
Columbine, and the magic transformations performed
by the potent sword of Harlequin, have long been
familiarised in the traditions of youth and childhood ;
and the equally striking vagaries of clown and pantaloon
are not less firmly rooted in the popular mind. Boxing
night has therefore numerous and peculiar charms, and
on probably no former occasion was it more fully
relished than on Saturday night. On that evening,
three separate pantomimes, all of great merit, were
produced at our popular theatres, and each was honoured
by houses crowded by admirers. The scenery, the
tricks, the fun and frolic, together with the sly joke
and pungent sarcasm, which, "time out bf mind," have
formed the staple of the pantomime manufacturer's
stock-in-trade had ample scope. To the subjoined
brief notices of these performances, we direct the
attention of our readers, to which, and to the adver-
tisements to be found in our columns we refer them, as
preparatory to witnessing for themselves the gorgeous
fancy and lively imagination which have been enlisted
in the production of these seasonable combinations of
merriment.

THE BIRKENHEAD FERRIES.

The recent and dense fogs on the Mersey have given
rise to many suggestions for keeping a. clear track for
the Woodside fer.ry-boats. Special attention to this
particular service; it should :seem, arises from the fact
that in dense fogs the boats owned by private proprietors
are not run, and the consequence is, that thousands of
people, whose daily avocations require their attendance
in Liverpool, flock to Woodside, and there seek a
passage across the Mersey. The ordinary traffic is re-
tarded in foggy weather ; crowds of contractors and
others seek to be conveyed across the water; thousands
from Rock Ferry, Tranmere, Seacombe, Egremont,
and New Brighton, are added, and great confusion
prevails, life is endangered by thb rush to the
ferry-boats, and the vessel, licensed perhaps for to carry
800 Woodside s s e r s
slip, and
, is crowdtedhebyprlo,b2aoboi.lity Tishetbhoaat t
should
the
she, under the circumstances supposed, foul a vessel at
anchor in the stream, a dreadful loss of life would
almost inevitably ensue.
The surplus revenue of the ferry is £5,000 a-year,
which goes a great way towards paying off the bonded
debt of the township of Birkenhead, and in case of a
serious collision considerably more than this amount
might be swept off by the claims of the shipowner, by
those whe had received bodily injury, and by the friends
