ENGLISI! OPERA HOUSE.—Poor Barnes, for s°
many years the favourite Pantaloon of our Christmas Panto-
Times, and who, in his own quaintly humorous line, was on
y
inferior to Grimaldi, takes his benefit and final farewell of The
Stage to-morrow evening at the English Opera House.
entertainments provided for the occasion are excellent le Pdiend
of quality, and sufficient of themselves to draw a err

house, but when, in addition to this, the claims of the molt
amusing Pantaloon of his day are considered, we feel con-
vinced that the Theatre will be crowded to overflowing.
NEW STRAND THEATRE.—A clever anti stn isirt
though occasionally somewhat tedious, piece of extravagents
was produced at this theatre last night. Mr. Moncrieu'
author, calls it (in the play bills) " An entirely nevi a
original ad cap-tandem burletta of passing characters, learin,;fme
and incidents, exhibiting existence as it runs ;" and the 'l,l
he has bestowed upon it is Up and Down, or the Boti 10
Life. To detail the story of his Up and Down " dramas
would be the most arduous of tale-telling tasks, It has

whip, and a sort of duplicate of the illustrious Weller, sen\?r,

ANOTHER FIRE AT MANCHESTER.--'
night, between seven and eight o'clock, the wadding glair
factory belonging to Mr. Jenkinson, in Edge-street, Sheol
hill, was discovered to be on fire, and the flames spreacliw
such rapidity, that by the time one of the engines arrivela•
hopes of saving it bad vanished. Mr. Rose, the superill
dent of the police fire-engine establishment, heppened ,deit
going in that direction at the time, and, olnerving the Pt"-rer
was on the spot early. The premises consisted of a t-
story building fronting to Edge-street, and closely WWI ig,
with other buildings, having Thomas-street at the back Ow.
Perceiving that there was no chance of saving the ela°llol'
tory, Mr. Rose directed his attention to cutting off the
munication ;op
with the adjoining property, and with I°

The fire was extinguished by nine o'clock; and the pet,
engine Niagara, which had been sent to the fire, was rant?
way back to the police-yard by half-past nine. The bell ol'
which we understood to be the property of Mr. Lee, I'l'4*
sterer, was completely gutted. The loss is not exactly kjicel4
but it is supposed that it will not amount to more (inwu
the building) than about 3001.—Manchester Times. 0 A
