The Rosalind of Miss Clara Seyton was a chaste, correct,
and lady-like performance. In the scenes ha thd forest,
she exhibited an admirably subdued spirit of fun.
The " swashing and the martial outside" was
well put on, yet ever and anon the woman's
ftars and woman's tenderness could not remain
hidden in the heart, but would, spite of every effort,
make themselves manifest. This is undoubtedly the
true idea of the part, and very tastefully was it deve-
loped by Miss Seyton. Her declamation was beautiful,
and she gave the cuckoo song with an archness and a
coquetry. that won for her an unanimous encore. She
was called for at the conclusion, and the enthusiastic
applause of a crowded house, and showers of bouquets
rewarded her exertions. She was excellently
supported by . Miss Huddart as Celia. This
young lady is a very promising actress. Mr.
1% H. Lacy entirely mistakes the part of Jaques,
and makes him " the wild Boar of Ardennes, the tierce
brigand," instead of the contemplative ibilosopher.
There is " stuff" about Mr. Lacy out of which to make
a good actor, but he must not only learn, but " unlearn,"
much before he can become so—more especially must he
unlearn his tendency towards what old Richardzon used
to admire as bould speaking." Emery, as Touchstone,
was quaint' dry, and humourous ; and Mrs. Selby
dressed and acted Audrey admirably. The scenery was
good, and the piece was well put on the stage. The
National Anthem was sung at the conclusion of the
play ; and the farce of Ask no Questions concluded the
evening's amusements. The house was exceedingly well
attended at the beginning of the evening, and before the
conclusion of the play it was crowded.

The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the first toast of the
evening, that of " Her Majesty the Queen Victoria;"
said its reception, by the company ;
r-s•ng• and with the
honours, would be the only instance in which he should
ask for a similar compliment to be paid to any other
toast on his list, with one exception. I now, my Lords
and Gentlemen, therefore, beg leave to propose, with all
the honours, " Our most amiable and excellent Queen
Victoria."
The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm.
The toast of "The Royal Family" having been drunk.
His LORDSHIP then rose and said, that the opportu-
nity afforded him this day of receiving so distinguished a
guest as his Highness Ibrahim Pacha, had contributed-
to him the highest pleasure and gratification that had
occurred to him since he had the honour of presiding at
the Mansion-house of the city of London. He was con-
fident that the result of his Highness's visit to this coun-
try would be conducive not only to the commercial in-
terests of the nation over which the illustrious Prince
must one day rule, but also to the prosperity and welfare
of Great Britain. With these sentiments, he begged to
propose " The health of his Highness Ibrahim Pacha."
The toast was drunk amidst loud acclamations.
IBRAHIM PACHA. rose and communicated with great
earnestness for some time with his interpreter, who, in
French, addressed the, Lord Mayor and company to the
following effect:—He said, that by the command of his
Excellency, he had to attempt to convey to the company
his -Excellency's desire to express that, although he had
been generally received by all classes in this great coun-
try with the most marked feeling, he had not ex-
perienced a reception more agreeable to him than that
which had been afforded to him on this occasion by the
Lord Mayor, the magistrates, and the chief merchants
