A STLEY'S THEATRE.

The history of Eleanor and Fair Rosamond affords
ample materials for the development of all the pecu-
liar resources of such an establishment as the one now
under notice, and it is not surprising that Mr. Rod
well should have selected it as the subject of a new
historical spectacle. Commencing with the arrival of
Henry Plantagenet at the Court of France in order to
pay homage for his Dukedom of Normandy, the
author describes Queen Eleanor as at once struck by
his noble bearing, and from that moment he becomes
her constant chevalier and attendant. Fired by the
powerful preaching of St. Bernard, not the King
alone, but the whole Court of France, with the Queen
and her ladies, proceed to Palestine to do battle for
the cross. Henry follows, disguised as a Turk
named Saladin, and the devotion which in that capa-
city he bestows upon her is not inconsistent with an
intrigue of which the haughty Amazon is said to have
been guilty. Fair Rosamond accompanies the Prince
in the disguise of a minstrel. The blood relationship
of Eleanor with Louis is laid hold of by the church—
a divorce is procured, and the marrisge of Eleanor and
Henry follows. The well-known incidents of Rosa-
mond's checkered life are adhered to pretty strictly,
and, eschewing the notion that she perished by poison,
the more agreeable alternative is adopted that she
died in the nunnery of Godstow. Whether she ever
became a nun or no, it is pretty clear that she bore
two sons to Henry. We have briefly sketched the
outline, to show how closely the piece adheres to the
generally received history of the period. As a
spectacle of the first class, we must say the piece is
highly successful. The scenery end appointments are
gorgeous, and the concluding tableau is one of great
brilliancy. Among the actors we recognized nearly
all the old hands, including Mr. Crowther, Mr. Barry,
Miss Fenton, and Mr. Stirling, and there are several
recent acquisitions; Miss Garthwaite especially from
the Cheltenham theatre, will, no doubt, be found a
very valuable addition. At the close of the spectacle
M. Villespy performed a series of novel and daring
performances upon the Globe Celestial. The scenes
of the arena succeeded, and the whole concluded with
the laughable after piece of the Two Gregories, in
which Miss Garthwaite again played with decided
success. We cannot conclude without bearing tes-
timony to the beautiful decorations, the perfect clean-
liness, and admirable ventilation of this theatre.
Everything about it appears to be spick and span new,
and for this at least Mr. Batty deserves our good
wishes. It is astonishing how so complete a revivi-
fying of the house could have been effected in the
short period of the Easter recess.

trivance, a greater variety of panoromas is displayed
this year to the foreign visitors of ore of our most
interesting places, at once, of instruction and amuse-
merit. An advantage, this, we conceive to be obvious
enough, at a time when so many strangers will be
congregated in the capital with the purpose, we may
presume, of seeing other things besides the Crystal
Palece. Before reverting for a moment to the present
paintings, it will be worthy of remark that 11r. Bur-
ford's former panorama of Jerusalem was destroyed
about ten years ago by fire at New York, having been
conveyed across the Atlantic for exhibition in the
United States. The completeness of the pictures
now on view at Leicester-square, as representations
of the ruined city and the stupendous cataract, may
be appreciated when it is borne in mind that both
scenes "have their principal and most remarkable
features confined almost entirely to about one-half
the usual circumference." Their interest may be con-
jectured, even by those who have not yet visited
them, when it is remembered that Jerusalem was the
arena of the chief feature in the teaching and cruci-
fixion of the Divine Redeemer, and that the Falls of
Niagara have been not extravagantly characterized as,
among all Nature's works, perhaps " the most won-
derful and magnificent." Not even the most phleg-
matic can look on unmoved at a full of a vast body of
waters from a precipice one hundred and fifty feet in
height, or on that venerable metropolis of Palestine,
among the principal localities of which may be re-
cognised the tombs of the prophets, the throne of
Solomon, the judgment-seat of David, the palace of
Pontius Pilate, the Holy Sepulchre, and the Garden
of Gethsemane.

hats, " the bounding bricks of Babylon,"
cause reieratecl screams of delight. The achieve-
ments of this worthy pair, Flexmore's apish pranks,
and Wynn's imitation of Mscready as Lear, when
sounding the affections of his daughters, were the
chief side-splitters amid the incessant provocations to
mirth,which sparkled throughout the extravaganza.
Putting, even the abounding tun out of the question,
the costliness of the scenery, the vivid richness of the
dresses, the brilliancy of the dancing—nay, if it were
merely the panorama from London to Grenada, and
the procession of King Mohamed and his Court—
would insure a long run and crowded houses. The
success was unqualified, and deservedly so, for no
theatre is more worthy of public support than the
Princess's under its present lessees. Let none of our
country cousins who crowd to the wonders of the
Great Exhibition be guilty of so flagrant a sin of
omission as neglecting to devote an evening to the
enjoyment of the magnificence and right royal jolli-
ties of The Alhambra.

THE POST-OFFICE.

-
The complaints reiterated for two or three years of
the utter disregard of the public safety and convenience
at the Lombard-street Post-office, coupled with the re-
markable fact that two distinct commercial houses have
lately been forced to pay twice for certain letters, owing
to the scuffles which occur there, seem at last to have
led to the announcement of an alteration. It is one,
however, by which the public are to be losers. The
remedy demanded was that a sufficient force should be
employed to receive the letters of all who might arrive
within the time publicly notified for their being taken, or
that, if this were not thought expedient, the parties at-
tending should be allowed to give in their letters as
might suit the leisure or convenience of the clerks, no
new corners being admitted after the striking of the
clock. By this arrangement the disgraceful fights for
preced.nce would have been avoided, while at the same
time there would have been no real delay in the actual
receipt of the letters at the window, since the number
who arrive at the last moment is always small, and the
scenes which have been customary have usually arisen
Simply from half a dozen persons kicking and elbow-
ing each other lest any one of them should be too
late. The Post-office authorities, however, have appa-
rently declined to adopt either
re-
solved to require that plan. and have s
the public shall for the future

THE DIORAMA.
The two pictures, Mount Ecna, painted by M.
Diosse, pupil of M. Ihguerre, and the Castle of Stol-
z-nfels, on the Rhine, by Nicholas Meciter, of Co-
logne, of which we had occasion to speak on their first
exhibition in favourable terms, attracted a fair pro-
portion of visitors yesterday to the establishment in
the Regent's-park. They tire very meritorious, and
will repay the time occupied by a visit to them.

THE CYCLORAMA
Is an adjunct to the Colosseum. After admiring the
calm appearance of the river Tagus and the varied
effects which are produced by throwing different tints
on the moving scenes, the earthquake, which de-
stroyed so large a proportion of the city of Lisbon in
1755, is realized to the mind of the spectator by the
mighty conflict of the waters, and by the lamentable
resulta which are there evident in the overthrown
buildings of the devoted city. The musical illustra-
tions are given on the new grand Apollonicon, and
the pieces from Beethoven, Mozirt, Mendelssohn, and
Rossini, are performed with the completeness of an
entire orchestra.

THE EXHIBITIONS, &c.

BURFORD'S PANORAMAS.
A very considerable number of the holiday folks, as
usual, visited this favourite exhibition yesterday. It
will be remembered by our readers that we recently
took occasion to notice a rather remarkable addition
made this season to his establishment by the enter-
prising and accomplished proprietor—the novelties
being no less extraordinary than panoramas of the
falls of Niagara and Jerusalem. In our observations
on these splendid productions we inadvertently erred
in stating them to be mere revivals of paintings al-
ready some years back submitted by Mr. Burford to
public inspection. We are, consequently, solicitous
to remove any false impression which may have been
caused by that unintentional misstatement, and feel
satisfied that this anxiety will be rendered sufficiently
apparent by the alacrity with which we hasten to
follow up those remarks by an explanation. The two
pictures here referred to, therefore, instead of being•
old works resuscitated, are entirely new, having, in
fact, only just been completed by Mr. Robert
Burford and Mr. 11. C. Selous, his assistant. As we
intimated in our previous criticism, the subjects were
long since familiarised to the sight-seers of the me-
tropolis by the proprietor; but the panoramas of the
falls of Niagara and Jerusalem now exhi-
biting at the corner of Leicester-square are
unlike their predecessors—and we may be per-
mitted also to call them their prototypes__
by being semicircular. As originally pro-
duced by Mr. Burford, they each occupied an entire
circle—a different arrangement having been made, NI e
presume, for 1851, with a view to economise space,
"so as to be able to present at the same time
two distinct and unconnected views, both possessing
extraordinary interest"—and this being accomplished
by a very simple division of the large circle of the
exhibition. According to this very admirable con-

ARGYLL ROOMS.

This elegant and popular lounge and salle de danse
was, of course, thronged to excess last night, as, in-
deed, it is most nights. Amongst the company there
was a pretty extensive sprinkling of foreigners, who
appeared to be highly delighted with the extent and
splendour of the rooms, and were equally enthusias •
tic in the applause they bestowed on the music. But
few European capitals can boast of so agreeable a
place of amusement of the sort as this, and it may be
safely predicted, that during the approaching season
of bustle and excitement the Argyll Rooms will be
one of the principal rendezvous of the million sight-
seers who are now meditating a speedy visit to the
great metropolis. The orchestra has over and over
again been pronounced to be one of the best of its
description in Loudon ; in fact, it is the same that
frequently attends the private balls of the nobility,
and in the course of each evening the chief composi-
tions of the first masters are performed with an accu-
racy and finish that would do no discredit to the
opera itself. The dancing, too, is conducted with
great propriety and order, and the scene that is nightly
presented to the wondering gaze of the spectator is
animated in the extreme. Nor are the rooms them-
selves at all inconveniently heated from the crowd
that is continually moving to and fro, or galloping
through the steps of the mazy dance, for by an in-
genious apparatus, which owes its origin to the fertile
brain of Mr. G. F. Bryer, one of the spirited managers,
a delicious stream of cool air is continually being con-
veyed into the saloon, while a corresponding piece of
mechanism is fixed in the roof of the building, which
absorbs the dust and draws off all impurities in the
atmosphere. Those, therefore, who are fond of trip-
ping it on the light fantastic toe, or listening to the
thrilling strains of brilliantly executed music, should
not lose sight of the Argyll Rooms in the course of
their rambles about town.

PORTUGAL.

Advices have been received from Lisbon to the
12th inst.
The city was tranquil, and Santarem was in pos-
session of the KING and of the Duke of TERCEIRA.
The following is the KING'S order of the day upon
taking the command of the troops
Brave and loyal Portuguese army I—A general,
whose first duty, according to the principles of honour
and military
laws, was to respect the Throne, its consti-
tutional prerogatives, and the maintenance of discipline,
committed the unheard of and unjustifiaLls attempt of
inciting part of the army to revolt. This criminal pro-
ceeding will be justly valued by the nation.
" Brave and loyal Portuguese army !---As Commander-
in-Chief I am the first to respect the free exercise of the
prerogatives of the Crown. A soldier's first duty is
obedience; he cannot nor ought not to intermeddle
in
political affairs. A contrary proceeding is to attack her
MujeJty the Qieen, the constitutional charter, and
public order.
" Confiding in your loyalty, and assured of your pa-
triotism, I did not hesitate a moment in putting myself
at the head of the brave men whom I have the satisfac-
tion to command, and to whom the glory of quelling
the rebellion 0.i,1 be due.
"EL Ray, Commander-in-Chief of the Army.
" Head•quarterg, at the Palace of Necessidadee,
April 9."

SALDANHA WD.3 at Lein:, and JOACIIIM BENTO was
at Curache, endeavouring to effect a junction with
1140. It is said to be SALDANIIA'S intention to march
on Oporto, but the Oporto Junta holds back until
SALDANUA shall agree to the stipulations. Up to the
morning of the 10th there had been no rising at
Oporto.

M. ROBIN'S SOIREES.

M. Robin commenced a new series of his " Soirees
Parisiennes et Fantastiques" last evening, at his sa-
loon, Piccadilly, performing with great success before
a numerous and fashionable circle of spectators. M.
Robin unites ingenuity in mechanical contrivance
with dexterity and neatness of manipulation, to an
extent unsurpassed by any of his wizard competitors.
Many of his tricks appear to be entirely his own, and
those which are not altogether novel he renders more
puzzling and difficult of detention by his manner of
performing them. His entertainmentlast evening
comprised several novelties, amongst the most inge-
nious of which were "Frederick the Great's Wind-
mill," in which a miniature miller appears to ascend
and descend to and from the various storeys, to turn the
sails of his windmill to the right or left, and grinds
corn (separating the wheat from the bran) at the
command of the magician. A box which, when
breathed upon by a lady, is self-replenished to a
seemingly indefinite extent with bon-bons and toys,
and doves which pick out from the pack, any cards
that might be demanded. Then birds and all kinds
of small articles were passed to and from, into and out
of different vessels in the most extraordinary and un-
accountable manner. The inexhaustible bottle dis-
pensed an unlimited supply of spirits and liqueurs ;
and though last not least, Madame Robin exhibited
her marvellous powers of " double vue" (or clair-
voyance), and of becoming invisible, or at auy rate of
disappearing from the observation of the spectators.
Altogether the " holiday folk," who visited M.
Robin's saloon, " supped full" of marvels, if not of
" horrors," and their frequent and warm applause
showed that they were not dissatisfied with the quan-
tity or quality of the repast.

THE MORAMA.
The two plait' es, Mount Etna, painted by M.
Diosse, pupil of M. Daguerre, and the Castle of Stol-
ztnfeis, on the Rhine, by Nicholas Meciter, of Co-
logne, of which we had occasion to speak on their first
exhibition in favourable terms, attracted a fair pro-
portion of visitors yesterday to the establishment in
the Regent's-park. They are very meritorious, and
will repay the time occupied by a visit to them.

THE CYCLORAMA
Is an adjunct to the Colosseum. After admiring the
calm appearance of the river Tagus and the varied
effects which are produced by throwing different tints
on the moving scenes, the earthquake, which de-
stroyed so large a proportion of the city of Lisbon in
1755, is realized to the mind of the spectator by the
mighty conflict of the waters, and by the lamentable
result 3 which are there evident in the overthrown
buildings of the devoted city. The musical illustra-
tions are given on the new grand Apollonicon, and
the pieces from Beethoven, Muzirt, Mendelssohn, and
Rossini, are performed with the completeness of an
entire orchestra.
