DRURY -LANE THEATRE.—Mr. Emery's new comic
entertainment produced for the first time last
night, is divided into three parts, which are
severally denominated " A Tale of a Train, Life in
Portraiture, and Balaklava Bay." In the first
piece there are seven characters, and a kind of plot
is developed. The best thing in the first part was
an American song, which was encored. t‘ Life in
Portraiture " a kind of dress poses plastives, in
which several well-known historical pictures are
realised—Cromwell looking at the dead body of
Charles the l'irst, Napoleon crossing the Alps, &U.
These seemed to be the most popular part of the
entertainment, and were very good. Napoleon at
Fontainbleau was quickly recognised, and much
applauded, as was Lord Nelson in his cabin
before the battle of Trafalgar. Mr. Emery's talent
of dressing, or, as it is technically called, " making
up," is very excellent, and is no doubt greatly
aided by the artistic talent he is known to possess.
The last piece, "Balaklava Bay," introduces several
varieties of soldiers and sailors at the late seat of
war, and also involves a kind of story of a Russian
spy and an English *officer. In the present dearth
of theatrical entertainments there can be no doubt
Mr. Emery will be able to carry out his monstrous
effort, and fill Drury-lane Theatre, and people its
vast stage, without the aid of a single soul but him-
self on it, by his innumerable and varied imperso-
nations—a feat worth seeing on its own account, if
it otid not embody a good deal in itself amusing.
ADELPIII THEATRE.—Picco, the wonderful Sar.
diniau tibicinist, has taken this theatre for a series
of concerts during Holy Week. The first, last night,
was extremely well attended by a fashionable au-
dience, who received the blind minstrel's perform.
ances with unbounded enthusiasm. The pieces ho
played were two, the " Ah ! non giunge" of Bellini
and the " Carnaval de Venise. The latter we
have already noticed ; and the former in every way
justified the terms in which we have spoken of
Picco's musical genius. Mdlle. Cellini sang several
pieces with much taste and quiet expression ; and
the other vocal performers, amongst whom were
Herr de Becker, Signor Albicini, and Miss M.
Keeley, acquitted themselves iu a very satisfactory
manner.

This was a meeting fur adjourned examination.
Mr. Lawrence said that, as the amount in the aggrc-
gate embraced several millions of money, and the profit
and lobs account could be only made out by analysing
the voluminous books of the concern, which Would occupy
two months, lie asked for an adjournment till that time,
when the dividend would be declared at the same time.
The last examination was adjourned accordingly.

BRUTAL ASSAULT.—James Lynch, jobber in Leaden-
hall-market, wag charged with a brutal assault on Jere-
miah Lynch, porter in that market. It appeared from
the evidence of the complainant that the prisoner yester-
day purchased some fowls for 135., but charged the per-
son for whom they were bought 143. for them. This
morning the prisoner and complainant met in the mar-
ket, when the prisoner used abominable language to the
complainant, iu consequence of his having given the in-
4ormation above stated, and struck him a blow on the
face with a couple of fowls he bad in hi■ hand. After
that; he caught the complainant round the neck and
struck him two severe blows on the right eye, which
completely c'esed it. Two salesmen of the market, who
witnessed the assault, gave the complainant an excellent
character. He appeared to be suffering much pain from
the effects of the Wows.

resting subject for upwards of a quarter of a cen-

evinced by the respectable auditory which attended
his display last evening.

THE POLYTECHNIC fNSTITITTION.—This excellent
institution has made several important additions
to its programme in preparation for the Easter
holidays, and it now presents one of the most varied,
interesting, and instructive entertainments in the
metropolis. Yesterday, although the free list was
entirely suspended, the edifice was thronged in
every part. There were the usual dissolving views
and dioramic effects. Mr. Pepper introduced a
new lecture, explanatory of the elemental facts of
astronomy, illustrated by a magnificent dissolving
orrery and diagrams. The portion given last night
was divided into three parts, and the intervals
were occupied by selections from Havdn's oratorio
of the " Creation," and a band and chorus of 50
performers. The principal vocalists were Aliss
Julia Bleaden, Mr. Henry Buckland, and Mr.
Charles Talmin. The institution was crowded to
excess, and the audience appeared highly delighted
with the entertainment.

ROYAL PANOPTICON.—A. selection of sacred
music was performed last night at this institution,
the instrumental portion being confined to the
great organ, under the management of Mr. E. T.
Chipp. The vocal portions were rendered by Mrs.
H. Drayton, Miss Ransford, Mr. H. Drayton, and
Mr. G. Perren. The selections from the popular
oratorios " Eli," " Elijah," and " Jephtha, ' were
judicious, and their delightful harmony well ac-
corded with the events of the season commemorated
by the Church. The concert will be repeated on
Wednesday.

AMATEUR MUSICAL SOCIETY.—The third concert
of the season took place last night at the Hanover-
square Rooms, which were filled with an overflow-
ing audience. The instrumental selection com-
prised Mozart's symphony in G minor, Beethoven's
first pianoforte concerto in C major, and overtures
by Balt.° and Herold. The concert altogether
afforded good proof of the rapid progress which
amateur musical art is _making in this country.
Mr. H. Leslie conducted with his usual care and
ability.
MR. HULLAH'S CONCERT.—TEIO performance of
Handers " Messiah," at St. Martin's-hall, last
night, not only surpassed Mr. Hullah's former per-
formances of that work, but approached as nearly
as possible to perfection. The loading vocalists
were Miss Dolby, Mrs. Sims Reeves, Miss Banks,
Mr. Sims Reeves, and Mr. Weiss. The chorus
consisted of Mr. Hullah's first singing school,
which, under his training, has now become a body
scarcely to be excelled in this country. In the
overflowing and appreciating audience of last night,
Mr. fitillah has the best testimony to the value of
his former labours to diffuse a taste for high class
music among the people at large.
MR. CASE'S CONCERT AT EXETER-HALL.'--•LaSt
evening Mr. George Case, the celebrated performer
on the concertina, gave his annual monster concert
at this hall, which was crowded in every part by
a fashionable company.
