A something was produced last evening at this theatre,
entitled Apartments, " Visitors to the Exhibition may be
accommodated, 6-c,." which, although in dialogue or

personated a Maid of all Work, in that spirit of life-like
comicality in which the wonderful little woman stands
unequalled on the stage. The attractions of The
Alhambra continue undiminished. The transcendent
Flexwore gains nightly laurels as the most marvellous
of long-tailed monkeys. Mrs. Keeley collects "
the
browns" for her stupendous brother Acrobats, whose
unutterable antics are hailed with shrieks of delight.

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
;i-,„a,Testing and useful addition has been made to
the curiosities of the Royal Polytechnic Institution, in
the shape of an extensive apparatus for illustrating the
lapplicability of gas to culinary and heating purposes.
ra. apparatus has been supplied by the Gas-fitters' As •
sociatien, who were unable, from one of the clauses of
the prohibition regarding machinery in action, to exhibit
their works at the Great Exhibition in Hyde-park.
They felt, however, that it was but right that the public
should know to what parposes gas could be applied - and
in order that this branch of ingenuity and industry ektould
be fittingly represented in 1851, they have rented one
of the rooms of the Royal Polytechnic Institution,
and have collected in it numerous curious and in-
teresting specimens of the machinery by which gss,n2g.
be applied to the ordinary purposes of life. Tbeuf'will
