PRIACESS'S THEATRE.

The highly successful run of Mr. George Ellis's ad-
mirable pantomime of Harlequin Cherry and Fair Star,
terminated last evening with its fifty-eighth representa-
tion, on the occasion of Mr. Cormack's benefit, when
that deserving artist was amply patronised. The per-
formances, of which the pantomime was played the
second, it being a juvenile night, consisted, in addition,
of Charles the Second, and A Roland for an Oliver—Mr.
Addison, Mr. Walter Lacy, and Miss Carlotta Le
Clercq, sustaining the principal characters in both comic
pieces with their accustomed spirit and ability. The
Queen's box was occupied by her Majesty, the Prince
Consort, and four of the royal children, who appeared
to relish the pantomimic whimsicalities in common with
the goodly array of the rising generation that thronged
the boxes, and the joyous elders, packed from floor to
ceiling. Mr. Huline and Mr. Cormack specially dis-
tinguished themselves, and were specially applauded,
vindicating, to the last, their established positions as the
most skilful and best-assorted Clown and Harlequin on
the stage. Mr. Paulo's Pantaloon was
greatly improved
Pantaloonwas orthodox, as
usual, and Miss Desborough,

his master's well-known feats
on chairs and stilts , drew down immense applause. We
never witnessed an entertainment conducted with
greater spirit from first to last ; and we rely on the
ingenuity of Mr. Ellis, and thetalent of rare
named troupe, for as attractive a fund of amusement next
winter as Harlequin
Cherry and Fair Star has proved
to be, at this delightful theatre, for so many weeks.

NEW BRUNSWICK AND NOVA SCOTIA LAND COM-
PANY.—Yesterday, a general court of this company was
held at the offices, Cepthall-court, Throgmorton-street ;
Mr. Moxon in the chair. A report was read, which
stated that the land sales during the year amounted to
7,899, showing a large increase as compared with the
two former years. The average price per acre was
41. 7s. lid., and there remained unsold 515,057 acres,
whilst the arrears due for sales amounted to 5,881/.
4s. 3d. The sales were chiefly to natives. In conse-
quence of the emigration from the district to Australia,
wages had considerably risen, the crops were good, and
the roads were in excellent order for traffic. The House
of Assembly wished to impose a tax upon uncultivated
land, but the Land Company had made representations
to the effect that for the last 20 years they had paid in
effecting purchases 60,2991., and [lliad expended in im-
provements 61,9271., and they therefore considered that
they ought to be excepted from the imposition of the
proposed tax. Since 1837 the population had increased
from 136,000 to 193,000, and the revenue of the pro-
vince had increased from 80,0001. to 138,0001. The
company's balance at the bankers had increased to 8391.
12s. Bd. Under these circumstances the directors re-
commended a dividend of ss. per cent. on the capital
stock. The report was adopted, and the ordinary rou-
tine business having been transacted, the meeting se-
parated.
SAILING OF THE GREENLAND FLEET.—The whole
fleet from Peterhead, excepting one ship not quite ready
for sea, left the North Harbour on Sunday and Monday
week. The sailing on these days of ships bound for the
Greenland fisheries, amounted to as many as 26 sail,
many of them vessels of large tonnage.—Aberdeen
