THE QUEEN'S THEATRE.—It appears that the legiti-
mate drama, which for a time, at least, has ceased to reign
at Sadler's Wells, has taken refuge at the little Queen's
Theatre, in Tottenham-street. Mr. Abington, a gentleman
and a scholar, who has for some years past endeavoured to
revive a taste for the drama in the provinces, and whose
spirited management of the Southampton and Norwich
Theatres will be long remembered, has taken the Queen's
Theatre for a short period, with the intention, as we under-
stand, of representing the plays of Shakspere and our older
dramatists as they ought to be represented—that is, as a
whole, and not, as is too often the case, as monodramas, in
which the play is cut up and carvedand sacrificed for thesake
of giving undue prominence to one particular character. As
yet, we know not the composition of his corps dramatique,
but we understand that it will number among its members
Miss Clara Seyton, whose lectures on the drama have recently
created such a sensation. This is an excellent beginning,
and if this accomplished artiste is properly supported there
cannot be a doubt of Mr. Abington's success. His stage-
manager is Mr. John Lee, Kean's John Lee, an excellent
light comedian, and one whose thorough knowledge of stage
business is a sufficient guarantee that every play represented
will be "mounted" in the best possible style. From the
judgment shown in making these engagements we are in-
clined to augur favourably of Mr. Abington's talents as a
caterer for the public amusement, and as enthusiastic lovers
of the British drama we hope his efforts will be crowned with
success.
WESTMLNSTER HALL STILL IN DANGER. An in-
structive corollary on our quotation from the Times in last
impression, respecting the wooden erections surrounding
Westminster Hall, has occurred at Bristol, where the ex-
tensive military arrecks, now approaching towards corn..
pletion, ran au imminent risk of immediate destruction by
the conflagration of s co, at of wooden buildings which
surrounded them —The Baler.

Egypt, and to; remain abroad for a year. We are not sure
