Mr. and Mrs. German Reed's Entertainment,

In addition to the peculiar attractions of the
Royal Gallery of Illustration, in themselves quite
sufficient to insure highly delighted and overflowing
audiences, Mr. John Parry last night introduce&
for the first time, an additional entertainment'
entitled " Recollections, Vocal and Instrumental,',
from his note-book, which must add considerably
to the pleasure derived from the acting of the three
admirable artistes which renders this place of
amusement so fashionably frequented. Mr. John.
Parry's play of feature, mobility of expression, and
accurate appreciation of the ridiculous, his versa-
tality of talent, his adaptation, or rather appropria-
tion, of every shade and phase of peculiarity, Were
never more amusingly displayed than in his illustra-
tions of the Musical Sisters' different styles of pig'
ing. The ease with which he personates the most
different and opposite individuals is quite astonish'
ing, and when from an Italian maestro he meta-
morphosed himself into his soprano pupil, and sub:
sequently into an English school girl, and hammered
forth the Guaxacha Dance so well known to begin-
ners and their unfortunate instructors in music, and
bound up with "Di Tanti Palpiti," arranged with
the most curprising skill in discord. The audience
was positively convulsed with laughter. But per-
haps the climax of his success was when, in illustrat-
ing how great events sometimes arise from trifling
causes, he exhibited the total discomfiture of a sue'
cessful singer when in the height of his triumph he
had the misfortune to strike a nail in the stage with
his toe. The most agreeable' recollection" for us,.
however, is, that the peculiar attractions of Mr.fanct
Mrs. German Reed and Mr. John Parry are inex"
haustible, and that deep in the recesses of Mr:
Parry's fertile brain there still remains an abundant
store of those " recollections " of his which he Sc/
amusingly communicates to the public.

The ceremony of laying the foundat ion-stone °f
