lIAYMARKET THEATRE.

A one•act farce called A Bird of Passage, being (a
some %%hat rare thing for the little Haymarket !) an
adaptation from the French vaudeville, L'Oiseau de
Passage, was produced with the most complete suc-
cess. A meddlesome gentleman, me Mr. Carry
Chick (Mr. Wright), is the principal charact( r,
the mainspring of the whole plot. Ile is a mixture
of Paul Pry, Dicky Gossip, and Marplot. Coming
to a country ian, he finds the landlady (Mrs. P.
Matthews) on the point of marriage with a horse
dealer (Mr. Bedford), the village lawyer (Mr. Lam-
bert) occupied with the settlement, the mancook
(Mr. Munyard), engaged to the chambermaid
(Miss Turner), and, in short, everybody
happy after his and her own fashion.
Though a perfect stranger to all parties, he tontrives
to drop a warning here and a suggestion there, till
every one's happiness is completely destroyed—the
landlady deserting her horse-dealer to fall in love with
the lawyer, the cook boiling with jealousy on account
of the chamber• maid, and so on down to the less impor-
tant personages. When the confusion is at its height,
and all have discovered the author of their woes, he
runs considerable risk of being torn to pieces
for his interference. Throughout the piece
was extravagantly amusing, and Mr. Wright
especially seems to have emulated the success
of M. Grassot, who took the same part
in the original. All the other impersonations, from
the Mr. Chaunt Ginger of Mr. Bedford to the Earnest
Hopeful of that clever actor Mr. Worrell, were ex-
cellent. The curtain fell amidst general and genuine
applause. On Monday next we observe that the
Adelphi company return to their own theatre.

coast of Scotland, steaming along the Caithness coast in
the bustle of that strange and busy scene, the herring
fishery,—lnverness Courier.

Reflection is a flower of the mind, giving out a
wholesome ingrance; but reverie is the same flower,
