LYCEUM THEATRE.
Under the title of Taking by Storm, a little piece
was produced with complete approbation last evening
at this theatre. Mr. Backhuysen Buff, a painter of
sea-subjects, and an impudent off-hand parsonage,
enters an apartment which, according to the infor-
mation of the windows, is "to let," with the inten-
tion of taking it, but finds that the present occupant
will not quit it for six weeks. At the same time he
discovers that the same occupant is a lady with
whom he became enamoured in the course of a
journey. Oa the strength of this acquaintance he
ventures to make love, but is repulsed, not altogether
with aversion. What is he to do under these circum-
stances ? He consults the lady's abigail, a sort of
amphibious being, who wears a nautical jacket and
hat to symbolize her mistress's predilection for
aquatics, and is advised to win the coy heart by a
peculiarly rapid mode of courtship. The visits
which it would ordinarily take six weeks to pay he
is to pay in as many hours, and he is to pour in
tributes of bouquets and other presents with equal
velocity. The plan succeeds, the lady's father was an
admiral, and she feels bound to love a sea-painter,
especially when he possesses such an irresistible stock
of impudence. This piece is slightness itself, and
mainly depends on the acting of Mr. Charles
Mathews, who revels in the eccentricities of the
facetious painter, and of Miss Julia St. George, who
repels and yields with equal vivacity, but still the
author is entitled to his meed of praise for the in-
cessant smartness of the dialogue. Mr. Charles
Mathews played the cool and impertinent marine
artist with his stereotyped sangfroid, liveliness, and
hustle. The piece is of French
origin, but it is evident that a great deal of English
fun has been infused into the writing.

ORGAN AND SACRED VOCAL _MUSIC
On Wednesday last a series of well-selected sacred
music was given at Christ Church, Spitalfields, for the
purpose of collecting funds to liquidate the expense
lately incurred by the vast increase in the number of stops
and pipes added to the splendid organ of the sacred edi-
fice. The vocalists on the occasion were Mr. Thorpe
Peed, Miss Laura Baxter, and Miss Helen Taylor. The
programme exhibited great taste in the selection, the
compositions being from Handel, Haydn, Spohr, Beetho-
ven, Bach, Mendelssohn, and S. G. Noble. The vocal
department was commenced by Mr. Peed with the splen-
did recitative of " Deeper and deeper still," followed
with the air " Waft her, Angels." We congratulate
Mr. Peed for the manner with which he gave this truly
difficult and beautiful composition; his fine and pure
tenor voic eproduced great and perfect effect. This
gentleman was followed by Miss Helen Tay-
lor with the beautiful air " With verdure clad,"
which we are bound to say this young lady did perfect
justice to ; the roundness of the tone, together with a
freshness of intonation creating a charm seldom to be met
with. " 0 rest in the Lord," was sung by Miss Laura
Baxter, in an exceeding good style; the fine tones of her
voice gave a richness and effect greatly to be admired.
We cannot close our notice of the vocalists without a
concluding remark on the beauty and sweetness with
which Miss Helen Taylor gave the air " Let the bright
Seraphim," which must place this young lady in the first
rank of ooncert singers. The position occupied by the
vocalists must have been truly distressing, in consequence
of the great height of the organ gallery, thereby subject.
ing them to all the inconvenience of the heat of the gas,
and densely crowded part of the church, which in the
latter part must have been highly miserable. The whole
of the vocalists were educated at the Royal Academy of
Music, and received their vocal tuition from Signor
Crivelli, of which they gave good proof of their having
profitted by the instruction of this highly-gifted master.
Of Mr. Noble, the organist, we cannot speak in too high
terms of his admirable performance. The Rev. Mr.
Stone and the committee of management are entitled to
much praise for the manner in which all the arrange-
ments were completed.

WESTMINSTER Immtov. v

ing, for the first time, the new Victoria-street, Westminster,
'was lighted with gas by two rows of lamps,

and respectable for the most timid pedestrians. The new
station of the fire-escape recently placed in Westminster has
been removed to the end of the above-street at its confluence
with Dean-street, Tothill-street, Princes-street, and the
Broad Sanctuary—and as the conductor has a coloured lamp
burning during darkness, attached to the ladder of the
machine, it can be easily seen from Storey's Gate, at the end
of Great George-street. The escape is one belonging to the
Royal Society for tof Lif from Fire, and not a
parochial or local tone, as some of the e inhabitants have un-
derstood.
THE HOUSE or CommoNs.7-There was issued on
Saturday last a Parliamentary paper containing the report
of Mr. Goldsworthy Gurney on the ventilation of the new
House of Commons. The report is dated the 19th inst., and
suggestions are made for cooling the Committee-rooms in
summer time. Mr. Gurney states that the evils may be re-
moved without much expense.
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. —At the
monthly general meeting, held •
yesterday at the society's
house in Hanover-square, the report of the council stated
that the number of visitors to the gardens on Whit-Mond fay
and and Tuesday amounted to nearly 20,000, greatly exeeed
the corresponding days in 1851 or any previous year. The
improvements in the gardens are rapidly approaching a state
of completeness, and the births, donations, and purchases in
the menagerie have raised the extent of the collection to a
higher numerical standard than has ever been attained
before. The most important births noticed in the report
are iraffe and a Leucoryx anteloe. The latter is the
first a ingstance of this beautiful animalp having been produced
in Europe.
