THE lIIGHLAND DWARFS.
THE HIGHLAND DWARFS, who have had
the honour of exhibiting before her Majesty and his Royal
Highness Prince Albert on two different occasions, are now to be
seen in the Cosmorama Rooms, 209, Regent-street, every day from
twelve to two o'clock, and from three to five ; and from seven to nine
in the evening. The dwarfs are three in number, two males and a
emale (brothers and sister) they are folly equipped in the High-
land garb, and perform a series of national, martial, and festive
earices. The two males, who are remarkably active, excel in the
celebrated Gills Coullam, or Sword Dance ; and so extraordinary is
the muscular development of the eldest that he can wills ease carry
two 561 h. weights about the room. He and his brother exhibit all
the positions of the broadside exercise with a precision that would do
honour to the first school of fence. And in addition to their other
accomplishments, they, in conjunction with their sister, sing the
beautiful airs of their native glens with exquisite taste and feeling.
As Mr. Mackenzie. who has these singular creatures under his
protection, can (in consequence of his other engagements) remain but
a short time in town, the admirers of the wonderful in nature are
requested to pay an early visit.
Admission from Twelve to Two and from Three to Five o'clock,

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

As customary, Don Giovanni attracted an overflowing as-
semblage, the pit being so crowded at one moment as to be
impassable. The comparative coolness of the house, with such
a crowd in so warm a season, showed last night the good
result of having consulted scientific men in the new ven-
tilation of the edifice, in all respects, essential as well as
ornamental, so admirably restored. The heat, unbearable
in most edifices, is here kept down by currents of the out-
ward air, so subdivided and so general,• that no draught
is felt. Thus is salubrity combined with recreation.
The pressure of matter will not allow of our doing justice to
the performances of the night. It suffices to say, that the
dances as well as the lyrical portion of the entertainments
met with repeated applause and encores. One encore alone
failed—it was that of the shadow dance—the treacherous
moon would not light itself again, and consequently the
heroine of the pas, although recalled twice running, and en-
ticed with bouquets, could not gratify her admirers. Le
&lire d'un Peintre, admirably enacted by Grahn, and a new
pas of the graceful Taglioni, finished triumphantly the per-
formance of the night. •

TILE SCENARIO OF TIIE NEW BALLET OF LALLA SOOKH.*

EPIGRAPH.
" The imperial Selim held a feast
'Vas magnificent shalamir,
In whose saloons when the first star
Of evening o'er the water trembled,
The valley's loveliest all assembled;
All the bright creatures that, like dreams,
Glide through its foliage, and drink beams
Of beauty from its founts and streams ;
Here, too, the harem's inmates smile;
Maids from the west, with sun-bright hair,
And from the garden of the Nile,
Delicate as the roses there ;
Daughters of love from Cyprus' rocks
With Paphian diamonds in their locks ;
Light pens forms, such as there are
On the gold meads of Candahar ;
Everything young, everything fair,
From east and west is blushing there.
The board is spread with fruits and wine,
With grapes of gold, like those that shine
On Cusbin's hills ;—pomegranates full
Of melting sweetness, and the pears
And sunniest apples that Cabool
In all its thousand gardens bears ;
Plaiutains, the golden, and the green ;
Malaya's nectar'd mangusteen ;
* *
Every thing young, everything fair,
From east and west is blushing there."
