ADELPIII THEATRE.

Last night a burlesque of Legrave's tragedy of
"Medea" was produced here ; and when we state tha.
Wright sustained the character. of Medea, and Paul
Bedford that of G'ance, sorbs idea of the humour of
he piece may be inferred. . The tragedy is 'travestied
with much whimsical ingenuity, and Wright's minrcrie,
.1 the inimitable Ristori vviis • highly comic, and carrie
he burlesque to a successful termination. Miss M.
K,,eley and Miss Wyndham enacted the parts of Orpheus
ind Jason. The scenery of the Lyceum has been exactly
lopied, and the other appointments of the buresque
were excellent. The burlesque was followed by the per
.rmancea of Mr. and Mrs. Williams, the American
‘3,medians. Such has been the success of these talented
artistes that the production of a novelty, of which report
peaks highly, has been for the present pustpoaed. The
liouse was crowded to excess.

BELGIUM IN ENGLAND.—It is said that Icing Leopold
visits England expressly to obtain the advice of Prince
Albert relative to the new project of law for the Belgiau
press, a project gently pressed upon his Majesty by
Louis Napoleon. Plrinoti Albert's fears, expressed last
year as a fishmonger, as to the strain put upon constitu-
tional government by the too much freedom of the pres,
is not forgotten. Therefore, at this juncture, old an
astute a, Leopold may be, Albert may nevertheless be
able, in his c,,nflict with the French Empercr, to teach
his uncle to suck eggs—even the eggs of an Imperial I
eagle.—Punch.
