NEW NOVEL BY TIIE AUTHOR OF " RANTHORPE."
It 0 SE, BLANCHE, AND VIOLET.
By G. H. LEWES, Esq.,
Author of " Banthorpe," " A Biographical History of Philosophy," &c.
" Mr. Lewes is a teacher as well es a narrator. The main interest
of the story is at times overpowering. There is no book in our re-
collection where Infirmity of purpose is more keenly anatomised or.
more successfully demonstrated."—Examiner.
" This novel shows the working of the motives and weaknesses of
humanity as they are in real life ; its men and women have their
counterparts in the living world • their aspect and conduct are por-
trayed with a bold and cunning hand • they are stirred with the
emotions from which humanity cannot escape. The book has its
moral : the critical reader will draw it from the incidents as from
life itself."—Morning Chronicle.

EASTER AMUSEMENTS.

THE TIIEATRES, &c.
DRURY-LANE.
This theatre was well attended last night, a large
p. 'portion of the audience, as is usual during the
holidays, being composed of the juvenile members of
the human family. The performances being con-
fined to the circus, did not admit of the customary
holiday entertainments. Nevertheless, a courtesy
.
was shown to the season on the part of the troupe of
the Cirque National de Paris, by the introduction of
several novelties. The most striking
was a grand
equestrian ballet, entitled " The Festival of Flowers,"
in which four cream-coloured horses, ridden by
Mesdemoiselles Caroline, Mathilde, Florentine, and
Ducos and four bays, carrying MM. Loisset, Lam.
bert, Karll, and Ducos, exhibited an astonishing per-
fection of training in a variety of most complicated
evolutions and involutions,
" In mazes intricate, convolved yet regular,
Then most when most irregular they seemed."
Each rider bore a garland of flowers, and the combi-
nations formed by the different positions of the horses,
their riders, and their garlands were extremely pleasing.
It is really surprising to witness the high state of per-
fection the managers have brought the training of
that noble animal the horse ; this was remarkable in
the performance of an elegant little blood steed, named
" Atar Gull ;" this wonderful creature appears to an-
ticipate the wishes of its exhibitor, M. Adolphe
Franconi, with almost human adroitness and sagacity,
it runs, jumps, dances, or marches, at his command,
and, indeed, does almost everything but talk. An-
other novelty was the " Dance of the Four Globes," a
very astonishing feat performed by MM. Henri and
Leroy, who, lying on their backs, contrived to keep
four globes, about two feet in diameter, in constant
motion by throwing them to each other with their
hands and feet (the latter possessing an extraordinary
prehensile property), twirling them round their
limbs, &c. A comic scene by MM. Neweome,
Siegrist, and Bassin, called "Rognolet et Passe
Carreau," yielded in its broad fun abundant delight
to the juvenile part of the audience. The unfor-
tunate Rognolet is seized by a very small horse,
and carried away by his teeth. The "Pas des
Grosses Fetes," another novelty, is an extravaganza,
wherein MM. Henman, Newcome, and Andre be-
longing to the ancient family of Greathead, or Gros-
satesta, accomplish sundry exploits upon three horses,
though encumbered with head much larger than the
rest of their bodies. The " Clown's Misfortunes"
and the "Vanquishing Clown" were short pieces,
which approached most nearly to the humour of the
English pantomime ; but the wit wanted the broad-
ness and raciness of the Grimaldi school. The per-
formances concluded with the " Antipodean Feats" of
M. Auriol, who (with M. Leclair and the younger
Auriol) relieved by his eccentricities the more serious
business of the circus. In this last scene he was
surrounded by a shower of fire whilst standing upon
his head on the top of a ladder. When the perform-
ances were over, " God save the Queen" was called
for, and played by the orchestra.
