MARY LEBONE THEATRE.

Last evening was produced, for the first time at the
above theatre, the popular romantic spectacle of Peter
Wilkins; or, The Flying Indians—in which Signor Mar-
tini, the celebrated man monkey, made his first appear-
ance. Peter Wilkins, the hero, was personated by Mrs.
Cowie, in a very artistic manner, as was also the Non-
descript by Signor Martini. Some of the feats he per-
formed were of a very astonishing nature. The mecha-
nical and scenic eff-cts were most effective, and reflect
very great credit upon all concerned in the manage-
ment, more especially Mr. E. Laws, the stage manager,
under whose direction it has been produced. A grand
ballet followed, arranged by Mr. Cormack with his
usual ability and taste; and the entertainments con-
cluded with a romantic drama, entitled The Robber of the
Alps, in which Mr. Henry Fraser appeared as the hero.
The house was well attended, and the frequent applause
testified the approbation of the audience.

The first appearance of M. Jullien, with his unri-
valled band, and a repertoire well stored with novelties,
attracted an unusually large audience to the gardens

a very crowded and fashionable company, at the above
rooms ; and were supported by Madlle. Falconi, Signor Gar-
dcni, Mr. John Thomas, and Mr. Hausmann. Mr. Gollmick's
Sinfonia (in C minor) was admirably executed by the or_-.
chestra, conducted by himself, and was greatly applauded.
In the grand Duo Concertante (Thalberg) the feeling and
delicacy of Mr. Gollmick was well responded to by the power
and spirit of Mr. Floss. Madlle. Falconi and_Signor Gar
doni received much applause, which was also extended to
Mr. Thomas and to Mr. Hausmann, in a solo on the vio-
loncello.
