ZooLoorcAr. GARDENS-71f any corroboration of what
we, have already stated, iegzrding the spirited enterprise
of Mr. Atkins, the proprietor of these favourite gar •
dens, were required, we might refer to the fact that he
has succeeded in arranging with the celebrated Delavanti
family, and Mr. Wallett, the renowned jester. These
were before a Liverpool public some two months past, at
Hengler's circus, and caused quite a sensation in the pub
lic mind at the time. Mr. Atkins has so arranged that
the public can, at the lowest passible expense. have an
opportunity of witnessing these gifted artistes, but it must
be remembered that their stay is short, and when the
publicare made aware of that fact, and the excellence of
the entertainment affordr,d them, no doubt they will avail
themselves of the opportunity to enjoy as rare and rich
a treat as was ever offere I them.

Cowell brought his " last" visit to a close by one of the
most successful and crowded concerts he has given. To
say that the "most comic singer in the world," Mr.
Cowell, was as great as•ever, would only be to announce
what everybody knows : but really he outdid himself (in
the occasion, for the audience was most vociferous
their applause, and never tired of his inimitable travv;ties.
Mr. Bridgeman on the pianoforte and concertinP, was all
that could possibly be desired, and his F ant asia on
Scotch Airs, upon the latter instrument, re believe never
to have been equalled. in this town. Mr. B. Bowler's
" Come into theSiarden, Maud," 5,1-01.._" My Pretty Jane''

evidently gave great satisfaction. Miss G. Willoughby
was also well received, and the entire evening passed off
in a manner that must have proved highly pleasing.
HAYMARKLT THEATRE.-Mr. Buckstone's lengthened
season continues to be is successful as ever, and his desire
to produce talent for the amusement of the numerous
audiences who constantly visit his theatre are evincod by
the novelties produced. During the past week, Miss
Anna Maria Quin, a pretty and remarkably intelligent
little girl, of not more than thirteen years of age, who has
achieved extraordinary success as a juvenile actress
throughout our Australian colonies, made her debug
in the old personation piece of " The Actress of All
Work." Tom Taylor's comedy of the " Victims," con-
tinues to be as successful as ever, in which Mr. Bucksto'ne,
Miss Reynolds, and Miss Lavine come in for a pretty
considerable share of applause. The " Victims" is also
continued this week; and the "veteran of the stage,"
Mr. T. P. Cooke, re-appears in Douglas Jerrold's play
of " Black Eyed Susan," sustaining his original character
of William, and Miss Lavine will play the part of BNB
Peter, singing several songs, and, amongst them, that of
"All in the Downs? This lady having been a general
favourite during the whole of so long a season, ne
doubt, in conjunction with Mr. Cooke, the piece
will, at the present time, have a particular charm to 0
metropolitan audience.
