LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1852.

THE ABERDEEN CABINET.
England is at length once more provided with
a complete Ministry. Fortunately the time has
passed by when the country could have reason to
dread the organisation of a Cabinet pledged to a
policy of a retrograde character. There is no longer
any question among our statesmen as to whether
or not we should, as a nation, persist in the de-
velopment of the great system of our constitu-
tional Government. All are united in the con-
viction that the principal object of every Admi-
nistration conducting the affairs of the Empire
under the authority of the British SOVEREIGN,
must henceforth be that of a comprehensive and
progressive scheme of improvement. Occasionally
we may have a Prime Minister having some ana-
logy to King Loo, and may then change him for an-
other, having some resemblance to King STORK--
but all are at any rate united in - the opinion that
the line to be pursued nowadays is that of ad-
vancement, and not of retirement. The only
difference between them is this---the selection of
the right or the left, perhaps we should rather
say, the selection of the right or the wrong, road
of advancement. In illustration of this truth, it
has only to be observed, that the Ministerial
change recently effected is, in most palticulars, a
change of men rather than of principles. Instead
of the Earl of DERBY and his colleagues, we have
the Earl of ABERDEEN and his colleagues distri-
buted among the various offices of the Government.
Instead Vof the Tory .Reformers, we have the
Liberal Conservatives. Although Sir WILLIAM.
MOLESWORTII has hitherto been classed among the,
independent Liberals—although Lord PALMERSTON
is the last of the CANNINGITES—aIthough Lord
JOHN RUSSELL and his friends have heretofore
been known as Whigs, while Mr. GLADSTONE and
his friends have been wail now alluded to col-
lectively as PEELlTEs—there can no longer be any
question that their diversified titles are
merged in the one comprehensive phrase of " Li-
beral Conservatives." The new PRIME MINISTER
has said it—the christening of the olla podrida
Cabinet may be said to have taken place yester-
day in the House of Lords, in the course of •that
speech of the noble Earl's which may be regarded
as the programme of his Government.

An authentic list of the .New Ministry may at
[ength be given, as subjoined :

First Lord of the Treasury Earl of ABERDEEN.
Lord Chancellor Lord CRANWORTH.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Mr. GLADSTONE.
Home Secretary ' Lord PALMERSTON.

The pantomime producedlast night at this theatre
derives its name, not from the nursery sources
or stores of Arabian Nights' Entertainments, from
which, for so many years past, the title and mate-
rial for Christmas pantomimes have been drawn.
Mr. Nelson Lee has chosen the famous Nell
Gwynne, or Harlequin Merrie Monarch, as the
name of his " historical, instructive, whimsical,
comic pantomime," Of " pretty, witty Nell," as

ST. JAMES'S.

The management of this attractive theatre has
not failed to cater novelties for the Christmas Holi-
day folks. " The Marionettes," in all their
acknowledged glory, are in full play and patronage
here, and by their performances last night sustained
their past reputation. Don Giovanni was in his
glory in comic, heroic, opeiatic, tragic, pantomimic,
burletta extravaganza, under the gay title of his
name, or, a A Spectre on Horseback, and was admi-
rably performed. The next entertainment of the
evening was the Ethiopian, by the " Ebony Ma-
rionettes." Ali Baba • or, a Night with the Forty
Thieves, followed, and lost nothing of its pristine
attractions in the hands of the little Marionettes,
whose mechanical art and mimic power elicited
enthusiastic applause. The scenery was strikingly
beautiful, and met with the general admiration of
a house crowded in all parts.

DR. WURZER'S TESTIMONIAL.

Benn, 19th July. 1852,

This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most excellent,
nom' shing, and restorative remedies, and supersedes, in many cases,
all kinds of medicines. It is particularly useful in confined habit of
body, as also in diarrhoea, bowel complaints, affections of the kidneys
and bladder, such as stone or gravel; inflammatory irritation and
cramp of the urethra, cramp of the kidneys and bladder, strictures,
and hemorrhoids. This really invaluable remedy is employed with the
melt satisfactory result, not only in bronchial and pulmonary com-
plaints, where irritation and pain are to be removed, but also in pul-
monary and bronchial consumption, in which it counteracts effectually
the troublesome cough ; and I am enabled with perfect truth to ex-
press the conviction, that Du Barry's Revalenta Aralica is adapted
to the cure of incipient hectic complaints and consumption.

GRECIAN SALOON.

This favourite place of public amusement was
thronged at an early hour in anxious expectation
of the promised pantomime, the peculiarly attrac-
tive feature of " boxing-night." The entertain-
ments commenced with the " new grand opera" of
the Queen of Spades, but all was impatient for the
advent of Harlequin and his magic wand. The
pantomimic extravaganza of last night is called
The Fairy and the Fawn, or Harlequin and the
Dog Star, which combined in its production all the
available talent, in the pantomimic department,
of this well-conducted establishment. The open-
ing scenes are exceedingly good, and the tricks
were - all well managed. The whole performance
gave much satisfaction, and was loudly applauded.

WOODIN'S CARPET BAG & SKETCH BOOK.

This popular and highly-interesting entertain-
ment came in for a fair share of the holiday
patronage last night, and the Theatre Royal,
Adelaide-street, was crammed from the roof to the
ceiling. Mr. Woodin appeared much pleased with
the crowd of happy laughing faces before him, and
he managed somehow to throw additional gusto
into the various funny characters that he drew
from his Carpet Bag, which, as the Cabman re-
marked, " aent of the ordinary size," but a tre-
mendous affair, fit to go side by side with M.
Jullien's famous monster drum. It would be an
unpardonable waste of space to go into the details
of the entertainment, as we did on a former occa-
sion. Besides, there is no necessity for it, because
everybody who has witnessed Mr. Woodin's as-
tonishing performance, is so full of its merits, that
there are few people in the metropolis who have
not been made acquainted with its varied attrac-
tions. In proof of this, witness the enthusiasm
with which the gentleman himself is nightly greeted
by old and young—the grave and the gay—while
the array of beauty and fashion that seem to be
ever present in the stalls and boxes, affords an in-
contestible evidence of, the high favour in which
he is held by the patrician denizens of Belgravia.
And well does Mr. Woodin deserve all this

patronage, for as a cotemporary truly remarks, it
is " not the least attractive, but certainly one of
the most meritorious entertainments to be found
within the bills of mortality." Unheralded by
puff, and unaided by prestige, Mr. Woodin has
acquired a remarkable hold upon the laughter-
loving portion of the town by his versatility and
rapidity of personation. , We cordially recommend
a visit to what was once the Marionette Theatre,
but is now the Theatre Royal, Adelaide-street,
where the new version of the " Man with the
Carpet Bag," is rapidly becoming one of the lion's
of London.

VICTORIA.

The prelude to the great gnu of the even-
ing was the Victoria version of Uncle Tom's
Cabin, and. which, to quote the bill, was a
ccnew romantic drama of ,powerful interest,
most truthfully illustrating negto life in the United
States." George Harris was tremendous, in a pair
of crimson and white trousers, and fought a ter-
rific combat with Haley and his men in a manner
that can be seen nowhere to perfection except in
the haunts of the old domestic and nautical drama.
Visions of jack-tars shivering their timbers floated
before one's eyes as the click-click of the one, two,
three, and under, and double cuts all across the
stage struck on one's ear. George was quite the
hero of the piece, for, besides this combat, in
which whenever his cutlass was used up, he fired
pistols like minute guns, he had no less than two
more, in all of which he distinguished himself to
the great delight of the spectators. Haley, during
part of the drama, invested himself in a high fur
cap, and, what with that and his whip, during this
phase, looked more like a Russian or Bolartrian
than the American slave-driver. The escape over
the ice elicited the loudest applause, and Uncle
Tom's piolis moralities, which from the Babel of
sound were
almost the only parts heard, anA. Le-
gree's death, that gentleman being shot by Cassy
in the last scene, were also highly prized. Then
followed a number of impromptu fights in the pit
and gallery, and at last the Christmas pantomime,
began. This was entitled:the World of Flowers,
or .Harlequin King Nosey, and the Old Woman
and her Six Daughters from Babyland, and was
really got UP very well, the dresses being very
handsome and new, and the decorations and scenery
tasteful and good. The opening scene, " Star-
glitter's Court in her aviary of humming-birds,
butterflies, and parrots of brilliant hues," and the
one where the transformation was effected, " the
diamond temple of Starglitter were very effective.
In the interlude to the comic ;art of the pantomime
there was the usual assortnaent of fairies who
danced and sung and watched over CoraYiva, a
young lady who was beloved by Candor, and who,
of course, was enchanted by the wicked King
Nosey because she would not marry him, and was
ultimately released by her lover through the assis-
tance of the Fairy Queen Starglitter and her sylphs.
After the transformation the regular pantomime
business began, the whole of which (by the bills)
was to be concluded by a "grand tableau, illustra-
tive of a nation's gratitude to her warriors (Nelson
and Wellington), a gorgeously triumphal war-car,
surmounted by Fame, and coronation of the brave
with wreaths of laurel amid a radiant and dazzling
flood of golden splendour," but which, mindful of
the time the overcrowded theatre would take to
disgorge, we did not remain to see. Comparative
silence reigned during
the pantomime, and, so de-
lighted were the beholders, that in one of the
scenes they called for Mr. Johnson, the stage-
manager, who appeared and bowed his acknow-
.edgments.

OLYMPIC.

The Olympic is certainly not behind it more aris-
tocratic brethren ; and the spirit and the liberality
of the management are evidenced by its growing
popularity. The performances commenced with
Buckstone's admired drama of Abelaql and He-
loise, which was followed by a capital pantomime,
entitled Romeo and Juliet ; or, Harlequin and
Queen illab. The plot. turns upon the villanous
designs of Prussic Acid, British Brandy, Verdegris,
Copperas, Strychnine, and Laudanum, who have
fallen out with Queen Mab, and desire to spoil her
Christmas festivities by slaying the hero of her panto-
mime. Some clever hits at the passing events of the day
were well received by the audience. Mr. Edwards, the
Clown, put his dogs through their wonderful tricks,
and exhibited some new feats, which were perfectly
successful. Mr. George Thompson, who made his
first appearance as a Sprite upon this occasion, won
his spurs in a more than creditable manner.
Amongst the scenes more particularly deserving
notice, we may mention Queen Mab's House of
Call, situated in Fairy-land ; the Masquerade
Carnival Ball, and the Revolving Palace of Crystal.
Too much praise can hardly be bestowed upon the
admirable manner in which the raise en scene was
arranged, the credit of which, it appears, belongs
to Mr. Bender. In conclusion, we have only to
express a confident belief that the Olympic panto-
mime will have, to use the slang of the coulisse, 'a
lengthened run ; and that Mr. Farren will have
no occasion to find fault with the discernment of
the public.

A large and, considering the occasion, an un-
usually quiet and orderly audience assembled last
evening at the Royal Ainphitheatre to welcome the
Christmas novelty. The first part of the perform-
ance consisted of Uncle Tom's Cabin, a piece which
is brought forward at this theatre with remarkable
effect, owing to the admirable training of the
horses, which are made to bear a part amongst the
dramatis persom. This was succeeded by some of

SURREY.

The performances at this theatre last evening
commenced with Uncle Tom's Cabin, which received
but a very small share of attention, as the audience
seemed in haste to exchange the sentiment of the
melodrama for the fun of the pantomime. Never-
theless their patience was subjected to a more se-
vere trial, for the curtain remained down for more
than an hour after the termination of the first
piece, and it was not until very decided marks of
dissatisfaction at the delay had been repeatedly
given, that Mr. Shepherd, one of the lessees, came
forward and craved indulgence for a first repre-
sentation, a request which was immediately ac-
corded by the good-humoured audience. The
pantomime, which is by Mr. E. L. Blanchard, is
called " Harlequin and the World of Flowers, or
the Fairy of the Rose and the Sprite of the Silver
Star." The first scene opens in the glittering re-
gions of the Silver Star, of which No Wun No Zoo
(Miss Lebatt) is the presiding genius, a young gen-
tleman who announces to his companions that he
is in love with a beautiful mortal, Rosabelle (Mdlle.
A. Cushnie), daughter of the Baron Zourkroutz
(Mr. W. Buck)—
"A burgomaster's daughter, quite divine 0,
But, though so near the Rhine, with little rhino."

The suitor descends to earth to win the young
lady, but his designs are opposed by Rosalia (Miss
C. Doria), the fairy Queen of the Roses, who pro-
tects Rosabelle and favours her love for Rodolph
(Mr. Milano), the head gardener at her father's
castle. The rival chiefs of the White and Red
Roses are sent by Rosalia to the Baron's palace,
where No Wun No Zoo arrives with his attendants
to propose for Rosabelle, who, however, declines
his hand, and decides in favour of Rodolph. The
Genius of the Silver Star, incensed-at her refusal,
attempts to carry her off by force ; but on plucking
one of the red roses which the guardian of the gar-
den had pointed out, the fairy chief of the red rose
appears to her, and she and her lover Rodolph are '
protected from danger by a bower of roses which
spring up around them. The shelter lasts only un-
til night, when the star again regains its influence,
and the angry Sprite, seizing on the lovers, carries
them off to the cloudy realms of gloom," while
the Baron goes mad for the loss of his daughter.
The final triumph of No Wun No Zoo is prevented
by Rosabelle placing the bouquet of magic white
roses, which she retains, to her lips, when the scene
suddenly changes to the 4, Valley of Bluebells, and
the Exotic Home of the Fairy Flowers," where
the Queen Rosalia appears, and the characters im-
mediately undergo the usual transformations. The
favourable reception which the paniomime certainly
obtained must be attributed rather to the great
beauty of the scenery than to the humour of the
dialogue or the novelty of the pantomimic inci-
dents. Some of the stage effects are really magni-
ficent, and well deserved the applause of a house
which was crammed from the floor to the ceiling.

MARYLEBONE.

----
The title of the pantomime at Mr. T. E. Smith's
minor theatre is Un,dine, the Spirit of Water ; or,
Harlequin Teetotum and the Chinese Cup and Sor-
cerer. The story of the plot forming the opening
runs thus :—Undine, the Spirit of the Waters, fa-
vours Young Hyson, Prince of the Green Teas, who
loves Miss Sue-thong, the Emperor Congou's daugh-
ter. The Chief of the Black Teas also claims her
hand, and so does King Coffee. With Young Hy-
son the Emperor will have nothing to do, but re-
mains in a state of indecision as to the claims of
Black Tea or Coffee. In the City of the Green
Tea Mountains, the abode of the Emperor, we learn
the decision of the parent, which being apparently
not the thing for the young lovers, Congou is set
.at defiance, Chicory attempts to usurp the throne

TURKEY.

According to correspondence from Constantinople
of the 9th, an end is put to all question about the
Turkish loan. The terms are rejected, and Prince
Callimaki will be withdrawn from his embassy at
Paris. A loan has been opened by four Armenian
bankers, to which Ministers themselves are subscrib-
ing.

DENMARK.
Among the bills just laid before Parliament by the
Finance Minister, is one empowering the Government
to abolish the Customs line between Schleswig and
Holstein, or, in other words, making the southern
Customs line of the Danish monarchy the E lben-
stead of the Eider. This measure, with all itsrisks,i
has been long looked for from the present Ministry.
If adopted, may it succeed better than is expected.
One section of this bill is interesting in a commercial
view ; it reduces the duty on refined sugar into any
part of Denmark, Schleswig, Holstein,from 6rbd. 24sk.
to 4rbd. 663 k. per 1001bs.; on woollen goods, from
66rbd. 64,k. to 50rbd. per 1001bs.; and the present

Since its introduction into this country have been as
favourable as reasonably could be expected. In
1851-2 (March to March) the number of letters
posted has increased 35 per cent., and the Finance
Minister himself (no over-sanguine authority) reckons
the increase for the two fellowing years at 25 per
