HA Y MARKET.

The entertainments selected for Boxing-night at
this theatre comprised Mr Robertson's new play of
"David Garrick," already too favourably known to
require eulogy at the present time, although the
performance of last evening was altogether so ex-
cellent that it would be unjust to pass v. ithout
notice the exquisite acting of Miss Nelly Moore as
Ada Ingot, in which part she evinced a delicacy of
feeling and deep pathos that brought moisture into
many eyes. 'Mr Sot hern, who was as much at home
as ever; was cordially received on his return from
his long provincial tour. He also enacted Lord
Dundreary in his married capacity with the full
breadth of his comicality.
rine new piece complimentary to the season was
a fairy extravagar 7,1 founded on the Ceuntess
d'Aulnoys' story of the Princess Print aniere, and
entitled, " Princess Spring Time ; or, the Envoy
who Stole the King's Daughter," written by Mr
11,.J. Byron. The story relates to the daughter—
Princess Spring Time (Miss Nelly Moore)—of King
•okolorum (Mr Compton), who, by the enmity of
the fairy Carabossa (Mr Clarke) is destined to be
unforinnate until she attains 20 years. To protect
her from evil the King c)olines her in a subterr.A.

nean palace, and the second scene opens at the end
of the 20 years, when the young Princess is brought
to the Court, and the Envoy of Prince Brown Fan.
farinet:(Miss Louise Keeley) appears to demand her
hand in marriage for his master. The Prineess and
the Envoy fall in love with each other, and after a
grand banquet and a very pretty dance by the corps
de ballet, the young folks elope,] are pursued, and
overtaken. After some trials on all sides, the King
consents to the union of the truants, and the piece
ends happily, amidst the glow of coloured fires and
all the combined beauties of tropical scenery, real
and imaginary. Miss Louise Keeley played and
sang with great spirit, and Miss Nelly Moore, as
the Princess, was sufficiently fascinating to carry
away more hearts than that of the Envoy of Prince
Brown. Mr Compton, ad the King, exorcised his
great powers of burlesque with his usual success.
Mr Clarke, as the wicked old fairy, was humorously
spiteful, and Miss H. Lindley was judicious as the
attendant of the Princess. Miss Fanny Wright, as
the Enchanter, acted the part of Chorus to the
entertainment.

The scenery, by Messrs. O'Connor and Morris,
was extremely pretty, and the banquetting hall of
the palace and the view of "the Beautiful Islands,"
with which the piece terminates, were admirabie
specimens of scenic excellence, and obtained a cor-
responding amount of applause. Altogether, it
may be taken as a successful production, and as
such was received by the audience, and no doubt
will be appreciated by the young people who are
taken to this theatre with a certainty that a pretty
and elegant piece will be presented to them,
London, England, 1864-12-27

LONDON, TUESDAY, DEC. 27, 1864.

There are few things more difficult than to make
a reply in a case where angry recriminations have
given a false turn to a subject, and invested a case
with an aspect that is foreign to its original pur-
pm and character. It must be confessed, however,
hat Lord WHARNCLIFFE has succeeded in his
arduous attempt, and that his letter which com-
ments upon:Mr• SEwARD's note is admirable in
its way, and fully answers the requirements of
the question. Conclusive, indeed, are the argu-
ments which are put into this statement, and the
most devoted partisans of the North, who possess
impartiality and diserimination,must allow that his
lordship's remarks are unanswerable, Perhaps it
was a consciousness of the real weaknbss of his
eve which induced Mr. SEWARD to M3ko the
haughty and uncourteous rejoinder to his reply,
which stated that henceforth the communications
must cease between the correspondents. It never
answers auy purpose to stifle explanatione, and
those who do so will prove that they are either
ashamed or afraid of whet they are about. Be
this as it may, it is very satisfactory to peruse

NEW ROYALTY.

In consequence of the success and recent produc-
tion of " Snowdrop ; or, The STven Mannikins and
the Magic Mirror" no change was made here, but
on Monday, January 16th, a new and original
comedy, in two acts, by Mr John Oxenford,
titled " Billing and Cooing,' is to be produced.

ASILEY'S.

The pantomime at this theatre is entitled " Hark
(train Jack Sprat ; or, the Three Blind Mice, and
Great A, Little A, and Bouncing B, the Cat's in
the Cupboard and She Can't See." The opening,as
wehe Brotherst are informedGri
nn.,
by the playbill, is written by
First
we are introduced
to Tom Tiddler's gold and silver grounds in the
centre of the earth, where we are shown how Tom
Tiddler behaved on the arrival of Merry Christmas
time. We are then introduced to the Abcdo of
Amusement, with preparations for the rejoicings on
the New Year's coming of age. This is followed by
a grand procession, the cars being drawn by horses.
Next we have a grand ballet, pourtraying the four
seasons of the year. The story of the pantomime is
founded on the adventures of the famous Jack Sprat,
" who could eat no fat and his wife could eat no lean,
and so between them both they licked the platter
clean." Jack falls in love with Joan, a miller's
daughter, but the lovers are thwarted by a mischief
making Tell Tale Tit, a servant of a potentate
gamed Robin de Bobbin, a great gourmand. Jack
is befriended by Mother Shipton, who promises
Jack that he shall marry Joan if he can bring to
her Tell Tale Tit's nose. Jack obtains admission to
Robin de Bobbin's castle, and seeks to propitiate
Robin do Bobbin by the bribe of a blackbird pie.
" Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie."
" The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,
When out pop'd a blackbird and picked off her nose."
The blackbird flies off with it to his nest, brit Jack
eventually obtains it and with it his promised bride,
and then we have the grand transformation Beene,
and Jack Sprat is changed into harlequin, hand-
some Joan into columbine, the miller into pantaloon,
and the great De Bobbin becomes clown.
There are ten scenes altogether, each of which
may be pronounced good, but the transformation
scene was gorgeous in the extreme, and drew forth
the loud and deserved plaudits of the house, which
was crowded from pit to ceiling. The tricks of
course followed ; they were of the old amusing de-
scription, and were rendered the more amusing by
the addition of a diminutive clown, harlequin, and
pantaloon. The tricks were divided into scenes,
the first representing a preparatory reboot, which
is quite a novelty. Mr Milano made a very good
clown, albeit it was his first appearance in that
character. Miss Annie Cook acquitted herself wel.l
as Columbine, and Mr Deulin Johnson as Pants,
loon. Miss Caroline Parkes, as Joan, sang an ex.
cellent song. and accompanied it with a dance, in
imitation of Taglioni, and Leon, and Milano which r
got an encore. -We should also not omit to mention,
though they are omitted in the Wit, a troupe of
acrobats, who filled up the intervals:with marvel-
lous feats of agility.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

BOXING-DAY DISORDERLIES,—A number of persons of
both sexes, as usual on the morning after Boxing-day, were
brought before Mr Tyrwhitt charged with drunkenness and
disorderly conduct. The magistrate, making a little allow-
ance for the occasion, discharged most of the defendants,
and in other cases imposed light fines. Some of the de-
fendants were charged with assaults, the only noticeable
case being that of William Coslett, a letter carrier, and
John Robinson, no occupation, who were charged with
assaulting police-constables 126 and 143 C. The defendant
Robinson wont into an oyster shop in Dorset-place, Pall-
mall, and behaved in a very unruly manner. He struck
and spat in a constable's face, and then Coslett came up and
interfered on behalf of Robinson. Mr Tyrwhitt committed
Robinson to prison without a fine, and fined Coslett ss. On
the whole, the charges of drunkenness were less numoraus
this year than for some years past.
COMUITTAL WITHOUT A FINE FOR AN ASSAULT.—Wm
Crowdy, a tailor, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with
violently assaulting Sergeant Cole, 23 C.
The Sergeant said that between 8 and 9 o'clock the pre-
vious evening he was called to the Red Lion public-house
King-street, Regent-street, by the landlord, in consequence
of there being a fight going on between some tailors. Ho
assisted in clearing the house, and separated the prisoner
and another man who were fighting together, the prisoner
being very violent, and saying that if he bad his scissors he
would put them into the man he had been fighting with. He
persuaded the prisoner to go away, and he pretended to do
so, but ran after the man and struck him in the eye. He
(the Sergeant) then took the prisoner into custody, when he
gave him (the Sergeant) a severe kick in the groin, causing
him great pain and sickness all night. Two persons having
come to his assistance, he succeeded in getting the prisoner
to the station, on the way receiving severe kicks.
Mr Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for a month with
hard labour.

THE OXFORD.

Boxing-night was signalised at the Oxford in the plea-
sant strains of the cantata "King Ohs istmas." The work
had been heard at the last anniversary; but, as Christmas
fare has a strong family resemblance in all years, there
was no reason why this excellent composition, devoted
specially to the season, should not be again produced.
King Christmas" and the mirth exciting Orphee aux
Elders," were the chief musical featnrea ct the evening.
Offenbach's vivacious little piece of satire has become a
permanent source of attraction, and the saucy couplets Of
the various mythological personages—from arch Cupid to
Jupiter in his less severe moments—were immensely relished
by the, teeming audience, the fine, rollicking laughter of Mr
Greene communicating itself to and being E enerally shared
in by the assembled spectators. Comic opera, rendered con
amore, as this one is, by all concerned, is better suited than
sentimental for display in the music halls, and it is to be
hopei that the facetious repertory will soon furnish another
sample as rich in humour as "Orphee aux Haas.' Music
on tho larger scale was last night, as usual, varied by en-
tertainments which more proverbially appeal to holiday in-
stincts. Four French comic dancers, from the Paris
Cirque, were added to the programme for the occasion.
They carry the grotesque style of dancing and mimicking
of characters in a bal viasque to a high point of extrava-
gance. Sextillion, an astounding and graceful contortionist
(also a rare importation for holiday consumption), per-
formed some extraordinary feats of agility and dexterity.
Silvester, likewise one of the filleted, or boneless school, of
acrobats, conveys food to his mouth in a manner never yet
dreamt of in any book upon table etiquette, In Little Bob
is to be found one of the best exponents of nigger characte-
ristics in London. He has a capital tenor voice, which he
skilfully employs in several parodies, and is effective in his
nigger and shakedown dances. Mr W. Randall is an esta-
blished favourite at the Oxford, and now and then reveals
signs of dramatic power which might be manifested with
advantage on older stages. His combat with the clever Mrs
Randall with four cutlasses was a triumph of comic en-
counter. The "Descent of Mercury," by Mr Jas. Talliott,
is an elegant performance down a perpendicular rope, a
classic outline of figure and grace of attitude being preserved
throughout. Mr Gaston Murray has gone into the domain
of comic song, and has a wide field for the display of his
abilities, vocally and histrionically. The whole of the
entertainment, including the elegant solo violin playing of
Mr Viotti Collins, gave entire satisfaction to one of those
vast assemblies which the metropolis only sends pleasure
fiading on red letter days.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

The Christmas novelty produced at this theatre
is from the pen of F. C. Barnand, Esq., and is en•
titled' Cupid and Psycho; or, Beautiful as a But-
terfly ;'' and if it is not one of surprising novelty,
it is yet so well and so admirably acted through-
out, that its success was completely established.
The scenery, dresses, and decorations were all of a
very superior order. The scenery was especially
good, particularly Cupid's Botanical Gardens, a
Pretty Spot of Greece, and the closing scene, the
Temple of Hymen. At the termination of the bur-
lesque the author was called for. He appeared
upon the stage and made his acknowledgments.
The drama of "The Hidden Hand" preceded the
burlesque, and was as efr:ctivo as ever in its repre-
sentation.
London, England, 1864-12-27

STRAND THEATRE,

Oar readers will recollect that some years ago a
drama was produced at the Adelphi entitled " The
Green Bushes," which was favourably received by
the public, and had a considerable " run." The
novelty introduced to public notice last night at
the Strand is a burlesque on that very successful
piece of Mr Buekstone's. Its author is Mr Henry
Byron, who designates it "The Grin Bushes," and
the boisterous merriment which it provokes fully
justifies the word in the title. The travestie
pursues the original with wonderful closeness,
extracting, as it advances, an amazing quantity
of merriment from every incident. The origis
nal melodramatic performance is so well known
that a very brief outline will suffice to explain the
burlesque. Connor O'Kennedy (Miss Raynham),
a rollicking Irish blade, as the name sufficiently
indicates, finds himself implicated in certain
treasonable transactions which render an excur-
sion from the Emerald Isle a prudent and desirable
enterprise. Before he is able to effect his escape
he is betrayed to the British soldiers by Phil
Murtogh (Miss Maria Simpson), but nevertheless
succeeds in reaching America, where he marries
Miami, a huntress (Mr James Stoyle), although he
has left a wife and daughter in " Ould Ireland."
His Irish wife pursues him, and Miami, finding
she has been deceived, attempts to shoot him, but
although the shot took no effect, Connor pretended
otherwise, and, being considered dead, Miami threw
herself into the Mississi2pi, but was rescued from
drowning by a pissing raft. Several other sensa-
tional incidents are introduced, and a variety of
puns, parodies, and comic dances, which altogether
make an agreeable entertainment. There are some
excellent scenes by Mr Fenton, and the musical
illustrations are by Mr F. Musgrave. The dresses
were provided by Mr May and Mrs Richardson,
and the general arrangements were under the
management of Mrs. Swanborough and Mr.
Porsche.

THE AGRICULTURAL HALL.

This hall certainly did its share in providing amusement
for the holiday-makers. In the afternoon, and again in
the evening, large as it is it was filled with the crowds
thronging to see the equestrian performances. We have
already noticed at length the various actors and their doings:
suffice it that yesterday the clowns joked and tumbled to
thoroughly appreciative audiences, if loud and long laughter
be any criterion. Nor were they alone in their power of
evoking applause. Scarcely one of the performers, from
the lions to Mr Frank Pastor, failed in eliciting hearty,
and, be it added, well-deserved applause. Those who ad-
mire feats of horsemanship, and spectacles in which horses
take a great part, have an opportunity afforded for the
gratification of their tests, at the Agricultural Hall, such
as can rarely be equalled.
London, England, 1864-12-27

STRAND MUSICK HALL.

Tho audience at this, the latest of the groat popular em-
poriums of music, was extremely large, and highly demon-
strative of its delight at the Christmas entertainment pro-
vided for its delectation. Not only was the hall itself, but
likewise the adjacent supper and refreshment rooms, con-
tinually filled with crowds which, though inconveniently
numerous. were at all times orderly. Mr Vance, the new
comic star, was heard more than once throughout the
evening, as well as many other popular singers, who,
together with a well.-trained and effective band, make up
a strong and attractive company.

has a local colouring, which will add very mate.

few nor small. Mr Charles Millward is the author,
and he has chosen for his title "Sir Hugh Myddel-

transformation scene was gorgeous in the extreme,
and elicited rounds of applause. Miss Marriott

ST. JAMES'S.

Last evening an original classical extravaganza,
entitled " Hercules and Omphale," was produced at
this theatre. It is from the pen of Mr Brough, and
the classical scholar will he as much amused by the
English style in which Greek deities and heroes are
represented to him with their cockneyisms, vul-
garities, and absurdities as the very wildest of the
City Arabs will be entertained by their " frisks and
vagaries," Terpsichoran or otherwise.
There were several fine scenes; the interior of
the Brazen Tower, the Palace and Gardens of
Omphale, and the Apotheosis of Hercules and
Omphale, which were highly creditable to iMr.
Telbin, the scenic artist. Altogether, the new
Christmas piece gave decided satisfaction to a
numerous and respectable audience.
