COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. /ITS. Centlivre:s
truly Spanish comedy of The Wonder was performed at this
thesire on Saturday evening. The great novelty of the cast
was the assumption of the gay, chivalrous, jealous, yet noble-
hearted Felix, by the manager. In addition to this attraction
tbe..e were three first appearances—Mrs. Glover, as Flora ;
Mrs. Humby, as Inis ; and Mr. Strickland, as Don Pedro.
The cast was in other respects a good one. F. Vining was
Colonel Briton, and Bartley, Gibby. The volatile Spaniard
is apparently not at all in the way of Macready, who is always
greatest in scenes of intense and agonising passion ; but we
had undervalued his versatility, for though his Felix wanted
the happy levity of C. Kemble's, and the buoyancy and grace
of Elliston's, it was a good, and certainly an original per-
formance—he fairly coquetted with Thalia, and turned his
heart from her graver sister, and in the drunken scene, espe-
cially, he showed that he could imitate the lower vices as ex-
cellently as he can pourtray the higher feelings. Violante had
a solemn representative in Miss H. Faucit ; the character is
not at all in her way, and criticism becomes unkindness. By-
the-bye, with Miss Taylor in the company, why should this
character be cast to Miss Faucit at all ? Mrs. Glover was the
Flora ; the soubrette of Violante would be probably somewhat
more juvenile, and somewhat lighter; but this actress makes
us forget everything but the excellence she can infuse into
parts most unfitted for her. Mrs. Humby played the little
part of Inis very quaintly ; and Mr. Hammond in Lissardo,
though not so pleasant as Harley, was amusing. The comedy
was well received by the audience, and at its conclusion Mr.
Macready and Miss Faucit, being called for, came forward
and acknowledged the compliment.
The tea-totallers of Kendal, Preston, and other
places have been keeping Christmas right merrily. The con-
sumption of soucbong and currant loaf is represented as being
frightful. At Preston 1,400 sat down to tea at the Corn Ex-
change on Christmas-day. The following was the provision
made on the occasion :-7,0001b5. of currant bread, 3641b5. of
common bread, 1301bs. of lump sugar, 601bs. of brown sugar,
81 quarts of cream, 301bs. of coffee, 101bs, of tea, 5011ss. of
butter, 84 dozens or oranges, 800 apples, &c.

At a certain feast lately, it was resolved to boil a
pig whole. But some wicked wag, after the hair was taken
off, seized an opportunity to smear it with Indian rubber.
The consequence was, that after the pig had been in the
cauldron six hours, the water had made no impression on it.
When the carver stuck his knife into it, it started up and ran
away. Yet it had certainly been killed before it was put into
the pot, but it is conjectured that the hot water had such an
effect on it as to renew the vital heat, so that it required only
one prick of the knife to remind it that it was alive. Such
susceptibility of reanimation is not inherited by the pigs of
any country but our own.—American Paper.
