TEETH.-By MR. ESKELL'S INVENTION
(Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial
Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and
imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by tee closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed tc last a life
time, as well as for mastication and articulation. Mr.

NEW ROYALTY (OR SOHO).

" Harlequin Humpty Dumpty; or, Simple Simon
and the Maiden Blueize and the Fairies
of the Silver Dell," is the elaborate title of the pan-
tomime at this theatre. The story of the Christmas
novelty turns upon the misfortunes of that unfortu-
nate gentleman who encountered a pieman, accord-
ing to the nursery rhyme, on his way to the fair,
and further deals with the love-passages in the life
of the blue-eyed maiden who has given her name to
the title. The pantomimists are—Mr. Lauraine
(Harlequin), Mr. George Beckett (Clown), Mr.
Burgess (Pantaloon), and Mrs. Jenny Beckett
(Columbine). The pantomime has been produced
under the direction of Mr. Emery, the manager.

THE CAUSES of PREMATURE DECAY.--

the
resistance ; and this effeminacy they trace chiefly to vicious
habits acquired in early life, by which, in our own time, an
influential journalist has endeavoured to account for the de-
cline of population in the Asiatic provinces of Turkey.
The peculiar source of physical and moral degeneracy al-
luded to has at all times been specially deprecated by philo-
sophers and philanthropists. It besets inexperienced youth.

cup with bitter malignity; destroying health, curtailing life,
and making it, during its brief career, a scene of anguish,
from
the consciousness 01 humiliating, infirmity.
The evil is but too rife in our age and country ; and expo-
Hence can often discern the dad results in the early deaths,
the hereditary and perpetuated ailments, and the matri-
monial discords and scandals, described, in convential par-
lance, as " unaccountable" and "mysterious." In cases of
threatened injury to or suspension of faculties whose sound-
ness and vigour form sfrh a prominent constituent in human
happiness, sufferers may have their fears removed, the mis-
chief, however severe and inveterate, eradicated, and their
warmest hopes of restoration to life's prerogatives fully
realised

treatment of these disorders, and his treatise on "Self-Pre-
servation" describes how all the attributes of Manhood are
lost or suspended, and how they' can be restored and main-
tained in health and vigour to an advanced period of life.

CRYSTAL PALACE.

This favourite resort of holiday loungers was
crowded yesterday with a multitude determined to
enjoy all the beauties of nature and art provided by
the managers for a shilling. The amusements pecu-
liar to the season have not been overlooked by Mr.
Bowley. The naves were brilliantly lighted with
Parisian lamps by Messrs. Defries ; the great or-
chestra was gracefully decorated, and a large Christ-
mas tree, upwards of 100 feet high, was filled with
toys for the gratification of the young visitors.
M. Blondin gave some of his extraordinary and
popular performances, and there was a continuous
round of amusements from twelve o'clock till night,
under the direction of Mr. Nelson Lee. The musi-
cal part of the entertainment was chiefly sustained
by the orchestra, Mr. Levy, and the Bianchi family,
and the comic part by Miss Kate Harley, Miss
Lizzie Watson, Mr. W. Randall, and Messrs. Uriah
and Parry.„ Mr. Arthur Barnes went through some
clever gymnastic performances, assisted by Mr.
Chadwick as a grotesque clown ; and Mr. E. Mar-
shall sustained a pantomime of eleven characters
single-handed with marvellous activity, fun, and
vigour. Everything seemed to give unbounded
satisfaction to all present, and the present holidays
promise to be highly profitable to the management.

THE SURREY.

" Harlequin Old Mother Goose ; or, the Qeoen of
Hearts that made some Tarts, and the Knave of
Hearts who stole them," makes a capital title for the
pantomime. Miss Julia St. George, who has been
engaged for the opening, played and sang with all
her usual grace and spirit. No expense or care has
been spared upon this Christmas production by Mr,
Shepherd, and it promises to have a long and pros-
perous run.

WESTMINSTER (LATE ASTLEY'S).

The merits of Mr. Boucicault's remodelled
theatre improve upon acquaintance. The house is
long rather than broad, but the slightest sound on
the stage can be heard at the back of the gallery.
The upper part of the audience portion—the bal-
cony, boxes, and gallery—rises in three noble steps
one above the other, adding to the effect of the
house, and securing the comfort of the audi-
ence. The model which we believe Mr. Boucicault
has copied is the chief theatre in New Orleans.
The building is well situated for the West-end, as
the new bridge forms a splendid thoroughfare toßel-
gravia, which is not a mile distant.
• The pantomime prepared by Mr. Boucicault for
his Christmas entertainment is the first return made
for thirty years to the old style of pantomime, the
story of the opening being largely told by action.
It is called " Ladybird; or, Harlequin Lord Dun-
dreary," and deals with some novel passages in the
life of that popular nobleman.
Mr. Huline makes a very good clown, is active
and funny, and the Harlequinade was amusing and
spirited. Very few hitches occurred in the ma-
chinery fora first night, and the performances were
over punctually by the hour promised—eleven
o'clock.

The house was crowded to overflowing in every
part a few minutes after the doors were opened, and
Mr. Boucicault apologised to those who had lost
some of their reserved seats through the unscru-
pulous eagerness of the first comers.
The farce of'` Parents and Guardians" was played
before the pantomime.

SADLER'S WELLS.
The pantomime at this theatre is frill). the pen of
Captain Horton Rhys, and it is entitled" The Rose
of Blarney, or Harlequin Dannymanoranyother-
man."
The harlequinade, which is throughout remark-
ably spirited, went off exceedingly well, except
that the new Agricultural Hall would not let itself
down nicely from the sky—an awkwardness that
of course appeared to grate considerably on the
local prejudices of the Islingtonians. That mishap

evergreens, and a giant Christmas tree towers to
the roof of the great central hall, from which a
gratuitous distribution among the juvenile visitors
will takr place every Thursday morning and even-
ing, commencing on New Year's Day. Mr. Pepper
has added " a Strange Lecture," which includes a
new and curious series of optical illusions, produced
by concave and convex mirrors, and especially by
the beautiful optical apparatus, invented by Mr.
Rose of Glasgow, and called the Photodrome (Light-
runner, or Lightcause.) Some of the devices are
truly marvellous, and present the best illustrations
of persistence of vision which has ever been brought
before a public audience. The spectral apparitions
produced by the use of mirrors, in illustration of
Mr. Dickens's idea of " The Haunted Man," is
quite in keeping with the traditions of the sea-
son, when " the Christmas tale is told about gob-
lin, ghost, or fairy," and the whole lecture will
certainly impress alike the aged and the youth-
ful spectators with the conviction that they
" can't believe their own eyes." As an antidote
to foolish credulity and superstitions nothing
Jean be better. The special addition, however, is a
new comic optical pantomime, " Harlequin and
Cinderella, or the Little Glass Slipper." The old
-well-known tale is capitally told, orally and musi-
cally, in the popular airs of the day, by Mr. Buck-
land; and the dissolving views, dioramic and sha-
dow effects, by which the story is presented to the
eye in its various phases, exceed in beauty and
finish any of a similar description produced at this
establishment, by Mr. G. Hime. The Polytechnic
deserves, and will no doubt secure, the support of
all who desire to combine instruction with amuse-
ment.

COLOSSEUM.
The Christmas arrangements of Dr. Bachhoffner
include pantomime founded on the story of the
" Forty Thieves," nigger minstrelsy, wizard illu-
sions, dissolving views, musical and pictorial enter-
tainments, &c., besides the usual attractions of the
place. Juvenile fetes are also interspersed, with
periodical distributions of toys from a Christmas
tree.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE...-.
HEREFORD, Friday Morning,—Yesterday morning a fear-
ful accident occurred on the Merthyr and Brecon Railway,
by which ono life was lost and several persons seriously in-
jured, some of whom are not expected to recover. It ap-
pears that some workmen hurriedly got into some empty
trucks at the commencement of a steep incline without at-
tending to the break. The wa,ggots started off down the
incline at terrific speed—the foremast was thrown off the
rails, s
and the other trucks coming along, a concussion en-
sued, and the whole were shattered to pieces, the occu-
pnthrown about in all directions. One of them,
named Thomas Griffiths, was killed on the spot, and nine
or ten were very seriously injured. One of them has been
obliged to have his leg amputated, and there are but slight
hopes of his recovery. An inquest was held this morning
upon the body of Griffiths, when the jury returned a verdict
of accidental death.

MUSIC HALLS.

These popular 'places of entertainment have no
occasion to grumble about a want of patronage.
Most of them put forth special attractions at this
holiday season, and are crowded with those visitors
who seek for more variety than can be always got
at a theatre. The Alhambra introduces us to an
unrivallc d feast of first-class gymnastics, including
Olmar, the Talliotts, and the Brothers Conrad. The
Oxford shows its strength in operatic selections and
general music, with character songs by popular
comic vocalists. The Canterbury—belonging to
the same pr oprietor s—follows in the same path,
and is more or less imitated by Weston's, the Isling-
ton Philharmonic, Turnham's, the Raglan, and
Highbury Bern. The London Pavilion gives good
music and a graceful gymnastic performance by
Little Corelli, besides a variety of other amuse-
ments. These halls are spreading rapidly in the
east, west, north, south, and centre, and they pro-
mise in time to outnumber our theatres. They are
all well conducted, their managers are enterprising
and liberal, and they deserve all the patronage they
get.

OLYMPIC

"Robin Hood ; or, the Forester's Fate," is the title
of the Christmas piece presented last night, at this
favourite theatre. The drama is full of startling
incidents; it is well got up, and the scenery by these
superb artists, Messrs. Telbin and Danson, is mag-
nificent. The extravaganza is smartly written by
Mr. Burnand ; and when it is stated that the music
is arranged and composed by Mr. Tully, enough
will be said to show that excellence in that impor-
taut branch of the entertainment is achieved. The
sylvan extravaganza appropriately begins with a
beautiful scene representing Queen Mab and her
special maids of honour. It is very enchanting.
The Queen is personified by Miss Needham ; Puck,
" a very puck-ulian little sprite," Master Needham ;
then we have no end of fairies, Hop, Mop, Snip,
Pip, Trip, &c., cleverly sustained byMessrs. Cham-
bers, Davis, Hicks, Hayward, &c. Robert, Earl of
Huntingdon, " who early in the piece appears as a
peer," and subsequently as Robin Hood, was well
played by Miss Latimer, a debutante at this theatre.
She sang prettily, and was encored in one of her
songs ; an honour which was also conferred on Mr.
Atkins, another first appearance at this theatre,
who played as Sir Gilbert De Mountfacon ; Mrs.
W. S. Emden acted with her accustomed spright-
liness in the character allotted to her, and Mr.
Horace Wigan ably represented Friar Tuck. The
other personages in the burlesque were cleverly
enacted by Mr. H. Cooper, Mr. H. Rivers, Mrs. St.
Henry, Miss Hughes, Miss F. Haydon, Miss Con-
way, and Mrs. W. H. Stevens. The incidents
brought forward in the extravaganza are familiar
to most readers ; they are brought out in bold re-
lief, and tell very successfully. The scenery de-
serves particular eulogy, the opening scene already
referred to—fairy gambols among sedges and water
lilies; the grounds of Clare Castle; Sherwood
Forest and country around Nottingham, are mas-
terly pictures, and their exhibition produced loud
applause. An archery scene is well managed; suc-
cessful competition is rewarded with the fair hand of
Marian, the daughter of Lady Clare, a noblewoman
in pecuniary difficulties. By the author's skill Sir
John Little becomes the Little John of the old
story, well supporting its interest. In the end
Robin Hood, the outlaw, obtains the Royal pardon,
is restored to his earldom, and the pseudo holder of
the title is very properly disgraced. Queen Mab
and her attendant fairies invest the piece with
much grace and romantic beauty. It is a Christ-
mas entertainment worthy of the character of the
OlympieTheatre, W--c_ hi h
was crowded to the ceiling.

STRAND.

This popular little theatre, conducted with a
spirit and energy that deserve every reward, is
still true to its original entertainments and its ori-
ginal author. Mr. H. I. Byron, who first made
his bow here as a burlesque writer, still bows
as a writer of burlesque, having taken Sir Walter
Scott's novel of " Ivanhoe" for his subject at
this house this season. The writing of this bur-
lesque is in Mr. Byron's happiest style, containing
less of what—for want of a better term—we are
compelled to call word echoes, and more of those
verbal repartees which approach nearest to pure wit.
Some of the puns are, as usual, very starling and
daiing—some are good because they are so bad, and
others are absolutely good. Most of the parodies
are happy; and the practical business of burlesque
is arranged with all the author's knowledge of the
stage and keen eye for fun. The burlesque was put
upon the stage with care and completeness, and the
music was well arranged and selected. The house
was crowded in every part.
London, England, 1862-12-27

CRYSTAL PALACE.

This favourite resort of holiday loungers wog
crowded yesterday with a multitude determined to
enjoy all the beauties of nature and art provided by
the managers .for a shilling. The amusements pecu-
liar to the season have not been overlooked by Mr.
Bowley. The naves were brilliantly lighted with
Parisian lamps by Messrs. Defries ; the great or-
chestra was gracefully decorated, and a large Christ-
mas tree, upwards of 100 feet high, was filled with
toys for the gratification of the young visitors.
M. Blondin gave some of his extraordinary and
popular performances, and there was a continuous
round of amusements from twelve o'clock till night,
under the direction of Mr. Nelson Lee. The musi-
cal part of the entertainment was chiefly sustained
by the orchestra, Mr. Levy, and the Bianchi family,
and the comic part by Miss Kate Harley, Miss
Lizzie Watson, Mr. W. Randall, and Messrs. Uriah
and Parry.lMr. Arthur Barnes went through some
clever gymnastic performances, assisted by Mr.
Chadwick as a grotesque clown ; and Mr. E. Mar-
shall sustained a pantomime of eleven characters
single-handed with marvellous activity, fun, and
vigour. Everything seemed to give unbounded
satisfaction to all present, and the present holidays
promise to be highly profitable to the management.

The Governor of Virginia has addressed a letter
to the Richnzond Whig, stating that Virginia will
never entertain any proposition from any quarter
having for object the restoration of the Union, on
any terms or conditions whatever.

The Richmond _Examiner considers it extreme
absurdity to suppose that any Confederate State
would listen to the proposal contained in President

The hip George Griswold is loading with grain

The New York National War Committee has
petitioned Congress to authorise the granting of
commissions to private armed vessels to capture
the Alabama, and similar cruisers, and to offer a
reward for their capture.
A resolution has been introduced in the Federal

Congress, instructing the Committee on Foreign
Affairs to inquire whether some method cannot be
adopted to show the sympithy of Cotlgres with
the Laneas-i,ire operatives.

The House of Rcpresentatives has adopted a re-
solution, stating that in their judgment their
should be no legislation changing the law providing
for the payment of interest on the public debt in
coin.

Another resolution, authorising the Secretary of
the Treasury to pay in coin the bonded public debt
due previous to January, 1862, was referred to the
Committee of Ways and Means.

A bill has been introduced reducing the duty on

paper to 10 per cent.
The Committee of Ways and Means have been
instructed to inquire into the expediency of increas-
ing the duty on foreign goods not of prime neces-
sity, so that the importation of foreign goods shall
not exceed the amount of American manufactures
and growth exported, exclusive of specie.
The House of Representatives has endorsed Pre-

ADELPHI.

As regards its Christmas entertainment, the
Adelphi has been accustomed of late years to " vary
the monotony of the proceedings," as Mr. Cox says,
by presenting the public with pantomime and bur-
lesque alternately—pantomime one season and
burlesque the next. Having probably found
each a very good thing in its way, the manager
this year varies the monotony still further by
treating us to both together. The result is the
" Gorgeous Burlesque of George de Barnwell," with
the pantomime of " Harlequin Folly in the Realms
of Fancy" to follow. The so-called comic business
is introduced with the usual transformation scene,
but the introduction in this case is to be regarded
as a burlesque proper, and not_simply an opening
to the pantomime.
As Folly, and after wards in the assumed charac-
ter of Lady Milwood, Mrs_ Mellon looked perfectly
charming, and played with a power and force far
above the ordinary standard of burlesque acting.

Forest, is possibly, even in the
se days, one of the
most charming things of the kind ever produced.
The unfolding of its endless beauties evoked the
most uproarious applause, mingled with loud calls
for Mr. Webster, who appeared, and bowed his ac-
knowledgments. The comic business has the advan-
tage in Mr. Hildyard of a most excellent Clown—a
real grinning, mugging, filching, blundering Clown,
such as old playgoers tell us Grimaldi was. And it
is only just to say that he was most ably seconded
by Mr. Paulo, who seems to have caught the spirit
of his Venetian prototype to perfection. Harlequin
and Columbine were represented with much agility
and grace by Mr. J. Lauri and Miss Caroline
Adams, and the pranks of the legitimate personages
of pantomime were supplemented by some marvel-
lous tumbling and juggling by the two French acro-
bats, Arthur and Bertrand. As a whole the Christ-
mas burlesque and pantomime at theAdelphi may be
pronounced a great success, and the arrangements
reflect credit upon the manager, and, let us add,
the stage manager, Mr. Phillips. The house was
crammed to the ceiling by a most hilarious audience.

ST. JANIES'S-HALL.

The Christy Minstrels gave their amusing en•
tertainment last night with undiminished success.
Many of their eccentricities are in the best style of
faniastic humour, and their musical performances
are eminently satisfactory. A burlesque scene, in
which the Rocky Mountain Wonders and all other
acrobats are caricatured, is highly ludicrous.

ANOTHER. ACCOUNT.

NEW YORK, DEC. 17 (Morning).
General Burnside with his whole army, has eva-
cuated Fredericksburg, and recrossed theßappahan-
nock.

The movement commenced at dark on Monday

night. The artillery crossed first, and the last of
the infantry brought up the rear soon after day-
light. The heavy rain storm and the darkness
appears to have prevented the Confederates from
perceiving the Federal movement. All the wounded
were brought across th© pontoon bridges, which
have been raised, and all communication between
the two shores of the Rappahannock cut off. The
river is rapidly rising.
It appears that the engagement of the 13th inst.
was a general battle, in which all the divisions were
engaged, resulting in the failure of the Federals to
accomplish their object.
The Federal loss is not exactly known. The esti-
mates range from 8,000 to 20,000 killed and wounded.
No estimate is given of the Confederate loss; but
as they fought nearly behind entrenchments, it is
supposed to be comparatively small.
The press generally attributes the Federal defeat
to the bad management of the war department.
Gen. Burnside is but little censured, as the respon-
sibility of his movement is attributed to the Federal
Cabinet, the immediate reconstruction of which is
urged by the piess.
The Federal expeditions, which left Helena and
Memphis for the Mississippi, have returned to their
point of departure without obtaining any material
result.

Several steamers have been seen south-east of
Cape Hatteras, and passing Port Royal, botand
south. It is supposed that they belong to Gen.
Banks' expedition. It is rumourefl that he will
operate in the Gulf, and replace General Butler in
New Orleans.

Th© report cf troops landing in North Carolina
is not credited. One steamer of Banks' expedition
put into Port Royal disabled, and another has re-
turned disabled to Philadelphia.
Twelve Federal regiments have left Newbern,
North Carolina, it is supposed for an attack on
Weldon.

Three hundred Confederate cavalry have again
dashed into Maryland, and retired after doing some

damage.
President Davis is travelling in Tennessee, where
he has made speeches, stating that he left the issue
in Virginia with General Lee, and that his own
presence was not needed in the south-west. At
Murfreesboro' he declared that Tennessee must be
held at all hazard.

It is said that President Davis will concentrate
his troops on the west bank of the Mississippi, and
will hold conferences with the Confederate generals

MR. YATES'S INVITATIONS.

The Egyptian-hall is still a popular resort for
fashionable audiences in search of amusement.
Many judicious changes have been made in the en-
tertainment, and the imitations by Mr. Power and
the descriptions by Mr. Yates are frequently va,
ried, and very warmly received.
London, England, 1862-12-27

PRINCESS'S.

The story of " Riquet with the Tuft," one of
Mother Bunch's fairy tales, has supplied the man-
agement of this theatre with the materials for a very
successful pantomime, which was received by a
crowded audience with hilarious delight and un-
measured applause. The opening is written by

PR1CE.....—..4d.
STAMPED ....sd.

Mr. E. L. Blanchard, and develops with comic
fidelity the incidents of the well-known story, the
plot of which it is unnecessary now to recapitulate.
The dialogue is smart and witty, and abounds
with puns of the most excruciating character.
The acting was all that the most fasti-
dious could require. When we state that
the scenery was painted by the inimitable
Beverley, we do but convey an inadequate
idea of the beauties and gorgeousness cf
this department of the pantomime. On this
occasion he has excelled his previous efforts,
and astonished the audience into a rapture of ap-
Planse, which resulted in his immediate and unani-
mous call before the curtain, To describe the tt ans-
formation scene, with all its effects, its artistic
groupings, its marvellous developments, and its glo-
rious culmination, would bbillo anyone. All we
shall say is that it is the most complete thing of the
kind we ever witnessed.
