VICTORIA,

Last night a new nautical drama, entitled " Rattlin the Reefer,"!:
produced at this theatre. The plot of the piece is borrowed froth
popular Novel bearing the same title. To those whose delight it is to 0';
ness " battle, murder, and sudden death," we know not any drama
well calculated to gratify them as " Rattlin the Reefer." In the thfu-
acts of which it is composed, there are not less than two abductioil;
two burglaries, several attempts at assassination, various murders, 310

applause with which it was received was deserved, and there On

The entertainments were diversified and strung together as thics,der,
onions on a rope ; in fact, it was but one uninterrupted series of Won
moving sights and sounds. The rope-dancing was of a most astenvio

finales were as splendid as the occasion deserved, particularly theeterh
