HAYMARKEI"fHEUTRE.

A one act farce called A Bird of Passage, being (a
somewhat rare thing for the little Haymarket!) an
aLptation from the French vaudeville, L' Oiseau de
PaSsage, was produced with the most complete suc-
cess. A meddlesome gentleman, one Mr. Carry
Chick (Mr. Wright), is the principal cbaracta,
the main spring of the whole plot. lie is a mixture
of Paul Pry, Dicky Gossip, and Marplot. Coming
to a country inn, he finds the landlady (Mrs. P.
Matthews) on the point of marri2ge with a horse
dealer (Mr. Bedford), the village lawyer (Mr. Lam-
bert) occupied with the settlement, the mancook
(Mr. Munyard), eng..ged to the chambermaid
(Miss Turner), and, in short, everybody
happy after his and her own fashion.
Though a perfect stranger to all parties, he contrives
to drop a warning here and a suggestion there, till
every one's happiness is completely destroyed—the
landlady deserting her horse •clealer to fall in love with
the lawyer, the cook boiling with jealousy on account
of the chambermaid, 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
rum 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. Oa Monday nest we observe that the
Adelphi company return to their own theatre.
