CHRIST 'JAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR,
But although he comes in snow, he still hopes to meet with a warm
reception—bnt where is he going? Why, to pay his yearly visit to
tlhe Spirit of John Rien, In the
GHOSTLY CITY OF DEPARTED FUN.
This city is composed of the Tombs of the by-gone Pantomimes—
" Who's tiat knocking at der door r —Come and see —" J. Anderson's
my Joe, Joha," and " I am Rich," that's more than every one can
say ; we wish they could —How to snake a Pantomime ?—" that is
the grtestion"—but the answer, it is hoped, will Le satisfactory—
Poor Tra-ge-dy meets with no clemency, se we fly by night" to
' A SPLENDID HALL IN THE PALACE OF GOOD
QUEEN BESS.
We now 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 Bum loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess,
therefore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi-
racy —Sir Waiter Rele•gli fears his pipe will be put out—Bacon gets
quite in a frizzle, ant Lord Burleigh shakes Isis head—but there's
nothing in that, whatever they may say to the contrary.
It is an historical fact, that Good Qacen Bess was assisted at her
to:let by many of her noblemen, therefore the
GRAND PROCESSION OF Tim TOILETTE
is introduced, in which the Royal Wig! the Royal Ruff! ! the
Royal Blushes ! ! ! and the Royal Petticoat !I! ! will make their
first appearance on any stage, and trust to the " usual indulgence of
a British Public." These are followed by
GOOD • QUEEN BESS
en deshabille, as she Is represented in a picture at Hampton Court.
—What comes next will certainly follow—and then will be seen
• GOOD QUEEN LESS
in all her royal splendour.—lt is an Historical Fact, that Good
Queen Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers so many Via she
scarcely knew upon which to decide"—and it is an HistonSPlE Fact
that the following were a few of them.
THE REJECTED ONES :
Philip of Spain, Prince Rupert, Prime of Sweden, Dnke of Anjoa,
Prince Alengon, Marquis of Winchester, the King of Sweden,
Eenry 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 " wonderons 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
CUMNOR HALL BY MOONLIG-taT—Wilson.
"Coming events cast their shadows before"—" Rest thee,
my darling "—Ketchy, ketchy, ketchy—" Put out the light,
and then "—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to Kenil-
worth—Ho stops at Love's half-way house, the Robsar Arms—" Oh,
Susanna,"• or rather " Ob, Amy !"—lt can't be said, "he makes no
bones about it "—They part, " more in sorrow, than in anger," but,
" being gone, Amy is herself again "—that is to say, a rather jealous
young lady, who in her "deep despair," introduces her Lovely
Babby, to whom she sings the following bathetic stanza :
" Come my bobby, come along with me
We'll go to far-famed Kenilworth,
Your naughty dad 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, half ruined him ; there-
fore we pity his fate, but must admire his wondrous generosity, for
all he ever hoped for in return was—half-a-crown. The Earl fore-
stalls Shakspere, by discovering " that the coarse of true love never
did run smooth," for here he meets with seme twenty " competi-
teurs," and to him they do come " petit ours," for they prove per-
fect bears, or, more properly speaking, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel
on a grand scale, a sort of " tiff for the million," takes plate, which,
although beginning in love, ends in war, and the total destruction of
