CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR,
Bat although he comes in snow, he still hopes to meet with a warm
reception—but where is he going? Why, to pay his yearly visit to
the Spirit of John Rich, in the
GHOSTLY CITY OF DEPARTED- FUN.
This city is composed of the Tombs of the by-gone Pantomimes—
" Who's dat knocking at der door ?"—Come and see—" J. Andersen's
my Joe, John," and " I am Rich," Chat's more than every one can
say ; we wish they could—How to make a Pantomime I.—" that is
the question"—but the answer, it is hoped, will La satisfactory—

A SPLENDID HALQUEEN BEESL IN T ALACE OF GOOD
We sow come to Historical Facts, therefore, as the Clown at
Astley's would say, " Let us be serious." It is an historical fact,
that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess,
therefore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi-
racy—Sir Walter Raleigh fears his pipe will be put out—Bacon gets
quite in a frizzle, and Lord Burleigh shakes his head—but there's
nothing in that, whatever they may say to the contrary.
It is an historical fact, that Good Queen Bess was assisted at her
toilet by many of her noblemen, therefore the
GRAND PROCESSION OF THE TOILETTE
is introduced, in which the Royal Wig! the Royal Raff ! ! the
Royal Blushes ! ! ! and the Royal Petticoat I ! 1 1 will make their
first appearance on any stage, and trust to the " usual indulgence of
a British Public." These are followed by

in all her royal splendour.—lt is an Historical Fact, that Good
Queen Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers so many that she
scarcely knew upon which to decide"—and it is an Historical Fact
that the following were a few of them.
THE REJECTED ONES :
Philip of Spain, Prince Rupert, Prince of Sweden, Doke of Anjoa,
Prince Alsngan, Marquis of Winchester, the King of Sweden,
Henry of Navarre, Archduke Charles, Earl of Arundel, Sir William
Pickering, Charles Blount, and the Earl of Arran. Good Queen
Bess appoints a meeting of these " woaderous proper men" at
Kenilworth, but declares, that on her way, " A hunting she will go"
—and having got on the " High Horse," the story gallops on to
CUM SOR BALL BY MOON LIG-AT —Wilson.
"Coming events cast their shadows before"—" Rest thee,
my darling "—Ketchy, ketchy, ket aly—" Put out the light,
and then "—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to Kenil-
worth— He stops at Love's half-way house, the Ilobsar Arms—" Oh,
Susanna," or rather " Oh, Amy !"—lt can't be said, "he raakes no
bones about it "—They part, " more in sorrow, than in anger," but,
" being gone, Amy is herself again '
despair," to say, a rather jealous
young lady, who in her " deep introduces her Lovely
Babby, to whom she sins the following t athetic stanza :
" Come my babby, come along with me
We'll go to far-famed Kenilworth,
'Your naughty dal to see."
And so they do

KENILWORTH CASTLE
As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visit.
For further particulars Inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori-
cal fact that Good Queen Bess paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and
' paid the piper." This, his gorgeous fete, hall ruined him ; there-
fore we pity his fate, but must admits his wondrous generosity, for
all he ever hoped for in return was—half-a-crown. The Earl fore-
stalls Shakspere, by discovering " that tin course of true love never
did run smooth," for here he meets with some twenty " oompeti-
tears," and to him they do come " petit ears," for they prove per-
fect bears, or, more proporly speaking, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel
on a grand scale, a sort of " tiff for the million," takes place, which,
although beginning in love, ends in war, and the total destruction of
