PRINCESS'S THEATRE,

MR. WALTER MONTGOMERY.

This gentleman, whose appearance had been so
long announced at the Lyceum Theatre, and against
whose performance at the above an injunction had
been obtained, which was so properly removed on
Friday last--made his debut on Saturday evening
in the character of Othello, and was very favour-
ably received. Mr. Montgomery's version of the
Moor has great simplicity and earnestness, which
he supports with the advantages of a manly person
and a powerful voice. He was ably sustained by
Miss E. Terry, from the Haymarket, in Desdemona,
Miss Atkinson in Emilia, and by Mr. H. Marston
in lago. The house was very full, and the satis-
faction very marked, Mr. Montgomery being
warmly called for at the end of the third act, and
at the close of the play.

On Wednesday next Madlle. Stella enilas, from
the Theatre Francais, will make her debut on the
English stage in the character of Juliet.

ADELPHI THEATRE.

On Saturday the drama of the" Haunted Man"
was revived at this theatre principally for the pur-
pose of introducing Mr. Dirck's invention of pro-
ducing reflections by the aid of mirrors which
Professor Pepper had adapted to the production of
spectacle illusions, and who has excited for the past
month or two such wonder at the Polytechnic In-
stitution. Of course the part has been compressed
very much, the great object being to give as much
of the ghostly element as possible, and under such
eireamstances we need only say that Miss Woolgar
as Mrs. Tetterby, Mr. Toole as Mr. Tetterby, Mr.
Billington as William Switcher, Mr. Phillips as
Mr. Itedlaw, and Miss H. Simms as Mrs. Switcher,
all supported their respective parts with great
ability. In the drama we have no less than four
appearances of the ghost, and at the outset we may
mention there is nothing ghostly or revolting in
it, but the completeness of the illusion occasicned
the utmost surprise. The rotundity, perfection,
and full dimensions of the figures, their absolute
life and natural action and yet their unsubstan-
tiality, the arm of a person being seen through
their impalpable though substantial bodies, are
marvellous. Their instantaneous appearance and
disappearance is also another wonder, but the
astonishment of the audience was wrought to the
highest pitch when two of the illusions gradually
melted away from view, and that which to all ap-
pearance but a few moments previous were living
talking beings became in the presence of the whole
audience " thin air." The applause was tremen-
dous, and Mr. Webster will, no doubt, reap a
rich harvest from the new discovery, as certainly
the spectral illusion to be appreciated must be
seen.

The house was crowded in every part.

The Indicator of Wurzburg states that a French-
man who was descending the Rhine, one evening
last week, in the Hereditary Prince steamer, when passing
the great mill at Mentz, told the passengers that he was
about to show them an excellent practical joke, He had
scarcely uttered the words when he put his hand upon a
bench, jumped into the river and was drowned. In his hat
was a letter stating that he had lost all he possessed at the
gaming .tables of Wiesbaden, and cautioning the public
against playing there. When his body was recovered, his
purse Was found to contain only if, 27c.
