THE STRAND.

The Easter novelties at this theatre consist of three
pieces, all of which were last night entirely successful.
The first is a legendiary drama, in two acts, entitled The
Bnchanted Lake. A Mr. O'Rafferty (Mr. G. Hodson) is
betrothed to Mary (Miss G. Hodson), and the wedding-
day appointed—there being one condition precedent to the
marriage—namely, that O'Rafferty promises to abstain
from whisky, to which he is addicted with more than
Donnybrook affection. It is quite clear, from the charac-
ter of the man, that without some " spiritual suggestion,''
he will never be able to perform this condition. Accord-
ingly the necessary help is supplied by the fairy Titania
(Miss F. Beaumont), who, with her attendant troop, in-
stils into the mind of the drunkard such visions of future
woe and crime that ho firmly resolves to lead a sober life
in future. Mr. G. Hodson made an excellent representa-
tive of a drunken but humorous Irishman, and excited
the risible faculties of the audience in no ordinary
degree. After the Enchanted Lake came a new farce, en-
titled An Advertisement —TVanted, lViees and Husbands,
which, though rather extravagant as a picture of the man-
ners of the day, is not devoid of genuine sarcasm and a
great deal of humour. It is founded upon the principle of
advertising for a husband or wife, which, though generally
exploded, is now and again adopted by the erratic of both
sexes, with the success, we believe, so very cleverly pour-
trayed in this amusing production. The entertainments
of the evening concluded with an Irish operatic bur-
lesque on King Richard the Third. It is certainly a
lively, sparkling production, and in reference to the great
events of the day contained some amusing allusions, which
it is hardly necessary to say were well received. Mr. George
Hodson, as " Dicky of Glo'ster," and Irish gent, who does
much more for a crown than many would undertake for a
sovereign, was most amusing, and the interest was well
kept up by Lady Anne, "a well-looking, ill-used lady"
(Miss Georgina Hodson). This young lady sang a most
amusing song, to the air of " Villikins and his Dinah,"
which, though a broad burlesque on one of the finest and
noblest passages in tho original, was so well and so drolly
executed as to call down thunder 3 of applause, and tho
usual demand of an encore. A. burlesque on Shakepeare's
inimitable productions is a bold and hazardous under.
taking, even it this degenerate age for the " legitimate"
drama ; but the attempt, in this instance, is so unique and
so droll, that it could not fail to succeed. The house was
well filled, though not crowded to au inconvenient degree.

CREMORNE GARDENS.

Yesterday afternoon these gardens were opened for the
season under the most flattering auspices, and it is clear,
from the immense crowds which had assembled during the
course of the evening, that Cremorne is not likely to lose
any of its former attractions. Indeed, no efforts appea
to have been wanting upon the part of the proprietor to
deserve the extensive patronage which there is every proba-
bility will crown his exertions during the ensuing season.
The whole of the gardens have been thoroughly refitted
during the winter recess ; and although of course the prin-
cipal accommodations remain much the same as on previous
years, they have been ranch embellished, and orrery pos.

Bible convenience and 'improverasnt has been' adopts`,
Throughout.. the extensive grounds many, ornamental at
tractions have also been added, and' the illuminations, '
later in the evening, have been altogether re-arranged,
many new devices have been added, and tli= whole ap-
pearance of the' gardens, when lighted OP and the py
scene presented by various groups of speetatori, with
the Oriental platform and its crowds' of: dancers, is
quite unrivalled in its way. Mr. Simpson appears deter-
mined to exceed his previous efforts in the "management,
and has succeeded in presenting —a most varied. and
of amusements ; in the execution
attractive .programme
the' whole resources of his establishment are put in requi-
sition. from three o'clock in the afternoon until nearly
midnight. Amongst the numerous novelties provided by
Mr. Simpson's indefatigable exertions for the public enter-
tainment are the perforinances of Professor Taylor and his
son, the double-ighted youth, and gymnastic display of M.
Bonrdie and his pupil, two very clever exhibitions._ Madame
Culine on the tight rope, assisted by'thehumOurous talents
of the clown, Mr. Doughty. A vocal and instrurninital
concert, in which the comic songs of Miss Storace and the
other artistes were much applauded. After witnessing the
ascent of the Prince of Wales's balloon, the crowd rushed
in hundreds to the theatre, where Mr. Tanner exhibited
the docility and capabilities of his wonderful dogs, whose
feats excited general admiration. The evening's entertsau-
meat was, as usual, concluded by a grand pyrotechnic dis-
may, in the course of which Madame Online made her
perilous rope ascent. No less than three bands contri-
buted greatly to the general attractions of the amusements
—the Hungarian band, Bosisio's band, and the great bras*
band. The gardens were crowded.

OLYMPIC.

No Easter piece was produced here last night, the only
approximation to novelty being the revival of the come-
dietta of The Happiest Day of my Life, originally produced
at this theatre, under the Vestris management. The part
of Mr. Gillman, written for Liston, was played last night
by Mr. F. Robson, who gave a quaint and dry picture of
the miseries and perplexities in which the unfortunate
bridegroom is involved on the " happiest day of his life."
It would be unjust to pass over without special praise the
performance of Miss Stevens, as Mrs. Grimsley, the elderly
female with a grievance.- This small part was admirably
rendered, both as to make-up and acting. Mrs. Chatterly,
as Mrs. Dudley, made an excellent fussy mother-in-law ;
and Miss P. Hcrton, as Sophia, was a charming bride.
The other entertainments of the evening were the come-
dietta, To Oblige Benson•, and the farce of The Wandering
Minstr,t.

SURREY. •
The Surrey management brought out a novelty last
night, announced in the bills as "an entirely original
drama, founded upon the all-absorbing occurrences of the
present day," and entitled Iran Safferi ; or, The Sultan
and the Czar. The piece abounds in striking situations
and stage effects. It was favourably received ; and, ap-
pealing as it does to popular sympathies, and shadowing
forth the triumph of a Popular cause, will probably run
for some time. Thore is a Bulgarian farmer, with a great
deal of patriotism and a very pretty daughter, both strong
inducements for Russian persecution, especially when con-
ducted by a young officer, who is a lover of feminine
beauty, both on his own account and that of his Imperial
master ; the accepted lover of the lady, one Iran Safferi,
a Turkish orphan and patriot, whose name supplies the
first title to the piece—the second being The Sultan
and the
Czar ; a Turkish water melon vender and his sweetheart,
who with a Cossack sergeant do the comic business and great
part of the fighting ; a Turkish spy and Bulgarian pea-
sants, patriots, and Russian soldiers sufficient to make a
formidable dramatis personae. The scenery was appropriate
end the acting generally good—especially that of Arr.
Cresswick, who personated Irun ; Mrs. H. Eirbr, a lady
from the Theatre Royal, Dublin, who, as Sulima, the
aeroine, made her first appearance in London, and who
promises to become a favourite here ; and Mr, Widdicomb,
who was the comic hero and vendor of watermelons. The
other entertainments last night were lien Boit and Vilikins
and his Dinah—the former being an effective dramatic
version exceedingly well acted of the pretty ballad of the
same name,

NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW
DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs,
wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth,
as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer ;
they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to
any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex-
traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will suppart and pre-
serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation
and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mas-
tication.

TALLOW.—TaIIow is weak, and in the absence of ex-

has lately improved, and the price is now cheaper than
Y.C. which will account for the smallness of the delivery
of y:C. tallow ; at the same time, it must not be forgotten
that the quality of town tallow at this period of the year
id very inferior. We have not had much doing today,

GREENWICH FAIR.

A harsh wind, and an occasional monitory speck of
rain, although it did not prevent the holiday makers from
crowding to Greenwich yesterday, yet had considerable
effect in checking the anticipatory exuberance of spirits
which is wont to exhibit itself on the road on sunny
Easter Monday mornings. Everybody wended towards,
his or her pleasure with a serious, business-like air,' as if
determined to go through with it according to rule, like
any other day's work ; but there was little volunteer sing-
ing of popular ballads on the part of the young men, and
hardly any of that display of garcostume into which the
empetresses, soubrettes, and maids of all work of the
great metropolis are accustomed suddenly to blossom on this
their great annual holiday. The general impression lei t on
the mind of the philosophic observer was, that Greenwich
r air Ni as a declining institution—that marvels in ginger-
bread were gradually giving way before marvels in scieet,e
—and that even that inexhaustible witticism in timber,
" the fun of the fair," must before long perish under the
ban of heads of kindred material, but more solemn
,cha-
racter. Greenwich Fair is, in truth, certainly passing
9.way. Richardson's was present in name; but in very
much diminished glory. The theatre
compact look which used to distinguish it in the time of
the great man, or even of his worthy successor. In an-
other corner stood a Lilliputian circus, in front of which 4
au Athlete did gratuitous
w°l3dr:Pslia°tniCaallywoinofdoernmegcllo the 6'

crowd " that although the outside of that theatre was
better than the inside ofanyofthe
other in the fair," it gave
only the faintest
t possiblehni idea
all
for the
sensations that
might be realised r small charge of one
penny?, The crowd whofilled the narrow avenue which is
now all that the buildershave left of the fair ground, were
of the lowest possible description. In the park the
crowd was equally dense, and very little better in
quality. All the traditional forms of fun were preserved,
but the glory of the day had departed. People looked
through the pensioners' telescopes at the Observatory, but
showed no excitement at the wonders they disclosed.
They threw at the three sticks, but neglected to put up
the pin cushions when they won ; and, although young
ladies who stood about the gate invited the people to tea
in their usual friendly way, there was not 'that warmth
about their hospitality which used to distinguish it. People
in short, crowded the railways, the boats, and the busses,
to get to the fair, and having zealously performed their
pilgrimage, crowded with equal zest to get back again,
remarking as a bad omen for Greenwich, that they had
not seen a single menagerie in the fair.

MARYLEBONE.

The Easter attraction provided by Mr. Wallack for the
patrons of this neat and comfortable little theatre, bears
the designation of The Magic Branch and the Golden. Glories
of Fairy Land. The author is Mr. Frederick Daniel Collis.
The plot is very simple. King Blowemup (Mr. G. Cooke),
whose exchequer is in a very sad state, forms the project
of replenishing it by marrying his daughter Brilliant (Miss
F. Garthwaite) to some wealthy suitor, but the lady, who
entertains the idea that she ought to be allowed to choose
for herself, exhibits strong symptoms of rebellion, and
escapes from the paternal authority, with the romantic in-
tention of enrolling herself in the militia. In the course of
her rambles, she falls into the power of Brimeton-sulphuric
(Mr. W. Shalders), a gentleman whose name is as attrac-
tive as his appearance, for his distinguishing ornament is a
prodigious long tail,which generally trails along the ground,
but which for the sake of convenience he sometimes
carries under his arm. From the castle of this demon the
damsel is eventually rescued by Don Constant (Miss
Harriet Gordon), whose efforts nothing can withstand,
seeing that he is an especial favourite of Radiant, the
Fairy Queen (Miss Mashes:l) ; and the headstrong monarch
eventually abdicates in favour of the young couple, con-
ferring on them the sovereignty of an undiscovered city.
The parts were well sustained, particularly those of Miss
Gordon and Miss Garthwaite, and many of the allusions
to the principal events of the day were fully understood
and appreciated. Many of the scenic effects were more
than usually brilliant, and the audience wore so highly
delighted with one of the fairy scenes that the call for the
manager was almost universal. Mr. Wallack, after a little
delay, made his appearance, and having acknowledged the
compliment, the piece was allowed to proceed, and brought
to a successful conclusion. The author was then honoured
with a similar call, and had every reason to be gratified
with his reception. The burlesque was preceded by Clari,
and followed by the farce of
„The Secret.

THE STRAND.

_ The Easter novelties at this theatre consist of three
pieces, all of which were last night entirely successful.
The first is a legendiary drains, in two acts, entitled The
Enchanted Lake. A Mr. O'Rafferty (Mr. G. Hodson) is
betrothed to •Mary (Miss'-. Hodson), and the wedding-
day appointed—there beipg one condition precedent to the
marriage—namely, that O'Rafferty promises fo abstain
from whisky, to which be is addicted with more that
Donnybrook affection. It is quite clear, froth, the Charac:
ter of the man, that without some " spiritual suggestion,'
he will never be able, to perform this condition. Accord-
ingly the necessailY help is supplied bY the fairy Titania
(Miss F: Beaumont), who, with her attendant troop, in-
stils into the mind of the drunkard such visions of 'future
woe and -crime that he firmly resolves to lead a sober life
4i future. Mr. G. Hodson made an • eteellent representa•
tive of a , drunken but humorous Irishinan, and excited
the risible- facilities of the audience in no ordinary
degree. 'After the Enchanted Loke_came.s. new farce, en-

Dern of thi day, is not devoid of genuine sarcasm and a
great deal of.htunour. It is founded upon the principle of
advertising for a husband or •wiferwhich, though generally
exploded, is now and again adopted by the erratic of both
sexes; with the success, we believe, so very cleverly pour-
trssyed in this amusing production. The entertainments
of , the ' evening concluded with an Irish operatic bur-
lesque on . King ...IZOtard the Third. It is certainly a
1 liVely, sparkling production, and in reference to the great
events of the day contained somearausing allusions, which
it is hardly necessary to Bay were well receiiod. Mr. George
Hodson, as 'Dicky of Gloieter," and Irishgent, who does
much more fora crown than. many Would undertake* for a
sovereign, was. most . amusing,. and the interest was well
kept up
,by, Lady Anne, "a well-looking, ill-used lady"
(Miss Georgina Hodson). This younglady sang a most
amusing song, to the sir of " Villikins and hie Dinah,"
which, though a broad burlesque on one of the finest and
noblest passages in the original, was so well and so drolly
executed as to call down thunders of applause, and the
usual demand of an corm-. A burlesque on Shakspeare's
inimitable productions is a bold and hazardous under;
taking, . even in this degenerate . age for . the " legitimate'
drama ; but the attempt, in this instance, is so unique and

well filled, though not crowded to an inconvenient degree.

letter from the Clerk of the Council in Waiting, and of
an order in Council, with reference to the granting of
permission for the exportation of articles prohibited by
the order of the 18th of February last.
" I am also to state that their lordships are pleased to
authorise you to permit the articles adverted to in the
'order in Council to be carried coastwise to ports in the
United Kingdom, and also to be exported to places
abroad situated within the geographical limits described
in the order in Council, in all cases in which you shall
not see reason to suspect the existence of a. clandestine
intention to transmit the articles to places other than
those indicated by the applicants.
" You will observe that a bond' is in all cases to be
taken from the persons exporting the articles that they
shall be landed and entered at the port of destination,
and my Lords desire that the exporters may be informed
that they will be expected to obtain and transmit to the
Commissioners of Customs, within the period named in
the bond (which will be fixed by you), certificates of
landing and entry, as follows.—namely
"In the case of the United Kingdom.—From the Col-

trate, or other principal national public functionary
there.
My Lords desire that you will take the requisite
steps to secure the due fulfilment of the conditions of
the bond, in conformity with the regulations above de-
scribed ; and that you will consider these instructions

given on the subject.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient
servant,

THE DANUBE.

VIIINN-A, APRIL 13.—The last accounts state
that numerous skirmishes of a very sanguiary cha_
racter take place along the line of the Danube.
The national antipathies have reached their ex-
treme point.

Prince Gortschakoff is about to move from Bu
charest upon the Danube.

General Luders has arrived at Hirsova with the
main body of the army.
Tho Turks have evacuated the island which they
occupied near Touschtukai, in order to bring up
their heavy artillery to Silistria.
Omar Paella is manoeuvring for the double pur-
pose of covering Silistria and the Wall of Trajan.
Luders only advances very slowly in Dobroutscha
and with the greatest precaution.

We read in the Corriere Italiano of Vienna :
" Letters from Bucharest of the Bth say that
Omer Pacha had ordered the troops who were
on the line of the Balkans to commence their
march on the 10th towards the Danube. The
corps of 8,000 men, concentrated by Omer Pacha
at Bazardjick was advancing towards the wall of
Trajan. Ten merchant vessels had arrived at
Varna with provisions and military stores, and
others were expected. The Turks were making
preparations to pass the Danube near Turtukai and
Rustjouck. Prince Paskiewitch was expected at
Bucharest on the 15th. He would stop here but
a very short time, and then proceed with Prince
Gortschakoff towards the Danube."

A letter from St. Petersburg, in a Frankfort
journal, states that the Prussian Ambassador, as
well as the Austrian, refused to attend the Te
Deum sung in presence of the Imperial family on
the occasion of the passage of the Danube by the
Russians.

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

This old-established repertory of science and art never
fails to be inundated with visitors when a holyday releases
the public from their avocations. By the younger branches
of the community it is in especial request, and very de-
sirably so, for to an inquiring youth the 'galleri es of the
institution open out topics of boundless interest. the
programme of the present period is of much the same cha-
racter as it has hitherto been. During the inany years of
its existence it has furnished the multitude with much
agreeable instruction, and has, no doubt, stimulated those
yearnings for study which afterlife has confirmed. As a
public haunt the worth of this institution is therefore
great, and it is gratifying to find that its utility does not
weaken as it grows older. or that its resources diminish by
a relaxing patronage. The dissolving pictures, always a
feature of interest at the Polytechnic, treat the Eater
visitor with views on the Danube and the Black Sea—all
the places, in fact, to which the present war is giving no-
mentous importance.

WYLD'S GLOBE.
The patronage bestowed by the public upon this interest•
ing model appears to be of a very permanent character. Mr.
Wyld turns it to very excellent account, and the lectures
which are delivered daily by the gentlemen employed foi
the purpose are among the most instructive that the me►
tropolis affords... The study of physical geography cannot-
be better or more usefully conducted than within the walls'
of this building, the general character of the forMation of
the earth being exhibited as it were in one vast ensemble,
every assistance being given to inquiries of the kind by
the numerous maps, charts, local models, tzc., with which
the vestibules aud ground-20er gallery abound. The lec-
tures now in the course of,delivery are on Turkey and its
relitions with Europe, the Baltic, our conununication
with India, Sm.

THE RIVER, AND THE RAIL.-
Throughout the day the river (to use the nsnal phrase)
" presented a most animated spectacle," and the various
piers, from as, early as, pine o'clock, were crowded with
people from,almOit every part, proposing to pursue plea-
sure at Greenwich. The railway attracted, if posible,
larger number than the boats, and notwithstanding an mi-
ditional pay-office was established at London-bridge for the
occasion, tickets were only to be obtained after long and
repeated straggles, ending, one or two instances, in the
people increased, the bridges became
loss of a coat-tail .or the disfigurement of .a hat. As the
day advanced, the P
of persons might be seen on
waiting for the neat boat or
teihoerepitehrsroanugdeda,tantdholistitnadtiroends
train. As to the redcoated shoe-blacks on the bridges they
worked harder than they had ever done before, using their
blacking with all the recklessness of enthusiasm, gaining
in the end an immense number of " pennies."

NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.

?1/1-R. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
IV I FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW
DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs,
wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth,
a, not to he distinguished from the or ginals by the closest observer ;
they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to
Any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex-
traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will supp)rt and pre-
serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation
And mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mas-
tication.

THE STRAND.

The Easter novelties at this theatre consist of three
pieces, all of which were last night entirely successful.
The first is a legendiary drama, in two acts, entitled The
Enchanted Lake. A Mr. O'Rafferty (Mr. G. Hodson) is
betrothed to Mary (Miss G. Hodson), and the wedding-
day appointed—there being ono condition precedent to the
marriage—namely, that O'Rafferty promises to abstain
from whisky, to which he is addicted with more than
Donnybrook affection. It is quite clear, from the charac-
ter of the man, that without some "spiritual suggestion,'
he will never be able to perform this condition. Accord-
ingly the necessary help is supplied by the fairy Titania
(Miss F. Beaumont), who, with her attendant troop, in-
stils into the mind of the drunkard such visions of future
woe and, crime that he firmly resolves to lead a sober life
in future. Mr. G. Hodson made an excellent representa-
tive of a drunken but humorous Irishman, and excited
the risible faculties of the audience in no ordinary
degree. After the Enchanted Lake came a new farce, en-

titled An Advertisement—Wanted, Wives and Husbands,
which, though rather extravagant as a picture of the man-
ners of the day, is not 41evoid of genuine sarcasm and a
great deal of humour. It is founded upon the principle of
advertising for a husband or wife, which, though generally
exploded, is now and again adopted by the erratic of both
sexes, with the success, we believe, so very cleverly pour-
trayed in this amusing production. The entertainments
of the evening concluded with an Irish operatic bur-
lesque on King Richard the Thied. It is certainly a
lively, sparkling production, and in reference to the great
events of the day contained some amusing allusions, which
it is hardly necessary to say were well received. Mr. George
Hodson, as " Dicky of Glester," and Irish gent, who does
much more for a crown than many would undertake for a
sovereign, was most amusing, and the interest was well
kept up by Lady Anne, " a well-looking, ill-used lady"
(Miss -Georgina Hodson). This young lady sang a most
amusing song; to the air of " Villikins and his Dinah,"
which, though" a broad burlesque on one of the finest and
noblest passages in the original, was so well and so drolly
executed as to call down thunders of applause, and the
usual demand of an encore. A- burlesque on Shakspearo's
inimitable productions is a bold and hazardous under-
taking, even in this degenerate age for the " legitimate"
drama ; but the attempt, in this instance, is so unique and
so droll, that it could not fail to succeed. The house was
well filled, though not crowded to an inconvenient degree.
London, England, 1854-04-18

PRINCESS'S.

No holiday piece was performed at this theatre last
night ; but the patrons of the drama appeared abundantly
satisfied with the performances provided for their enter-
tainment. The play of Richard 111., as adapted to the
stage by Mr. Charles Kean, is a representation which has
always charms for the play-going portion of the public.
The rapid succession of events—the stirring scenes of the
battle-field—the faithful portraiture of a character which,
if not historically impressive, is, at least, poetically cor-
rect, all conspire to make the tragedy one of enduring
interest. Of the performance of last night it will be only
necessary to say that it was characterised by that propriety
of treatment, poetically feeling, and general consistency
which mark all the representations produced under the
management of Mr. Charles Kean. The appointments of
the play were historically accurate, and Mr. Kean was re-
peatedly applauded in the more striking scones. The en-
tertainments concluded with the drama of Pip Lancers.
