ADELPIIL
Last night, after the performance of the two burlettas,
7'lle Victim, and P. P., or the Man and the Tiger, a
tow pantomime was produced here, called Harlequin
Ind Margery Daw, or the Saucy Slut and the See.
°u'• To undertake telling the story of a Pantomine, is
It hopeless as if a person were to attempt collecting to
Bother the fragments of a half-forgotten dream. So far a,
Re could understand the part introductory to the tumbling,
orgery Daw, from excess cf benevolence, is soon stripp,d
all her worldly goods. She appeals surrounded by fairies,
14 the guise of beggars, to all of whom bread and other
,becessaties are distributed with an unsparing hand ; and,
°I recompense for her charities, she is assured that she
tdail through life be fully protected against the visitations
t'f adversity. This assurance is given to her in a scene
111 great splendour, displaying the mists of midnight
banging
over the Shining River, from which issues
Wavelet, the Queen of the Stream, attended by the
River Fairies, Riplet, Twinkle, Current, Whirlpool,
-11,_obble, and Streamlet, together with River Elves.
aforgery's farm is seen at sunrise, and Margery herself in
• the midst of her poultry, enjoying the pleasure of attending
t° their wants and witnessing their gambols. After a sorne-
what introduction, in which the usual agency of fan-
ciful beings is lavishly employed, the Clowns, Pantaloon,
Columbine, and Harlequin are at length evolved from
their swatbings, and the festive caperings and tumbling,
°I the Pantomime commence. The principal part of the
Pantomimic events take place in the well-known Lowther
kzaar, the Civet Cat in the Strand, and a gin-shop, got
11P with all the modern embellishments of paint, glass,
.1141 huge gin-vats. Here a great variety of fun, mistake,
md misadventure occurs. After a great deal of carousing
the shop disappears in terrific fl tshas of blue ruin, and
?,,ightful goblins are seen flying away with the customers.
appears to us the beat and most lively part of the
pantomime, though it abounds throughout, as such a
,thing ought, with active unmeaning bustle, and vulgar
frolic of every kind. There was nothing remarkably
clever in the changes; but some very extraordinary feats
°I strength, activity, and posture, were displayed by the
tvio Clowns, by Harlequin, Pantaloon, and Columbine.
pile of the best of the tricks was a sudden tiger-like
hound of the original civet cat, which carried him far
c'tter the heads of the folks in the pit, and produced much
!Ildierous consternation, but he as suddenly flew back,
leaving the audience uninjured by his claws. A Swiss
Pas de deux was performed in the course of the piece by
Air. &coml. and Mademoiselle Rose, who were much
4PPlituded. Some of the scenery was very good. The
Parts most deserving of notice were the trellised grottoes
411 d glittering gardens of the Queen of the Shining
'River ; a bird's-eye view of London by moonlight from
the house-top of Mrs. Pentweazle ; and the closing scene,
the Dazzling Temple of Delight.

PA VILI ON.
The opening piece was a domestic drama, under the
title of The Widow's Daughter, or the Murder of 1694.
The staple commodity of the season, the pantomime, is
called The Queen of the Clover Field, or Harlequin
and One, Two, Buckle my Shoe. Topazonia (Mr.
PLUMER), the Xing of the Buttercups, divides his at-
tention between the Queen of the Clover Field and the
Queen of the Daisies ; much strife ensues, but their
baited powers are called in aid to protect Seraphina
Plower (Miss JULIAN) from the cruelty of a country squire,
who seeks to compel her to accept the hand of his son.
4rithmeticuss, an astrologer, in furtherance of the views
of the squire, transforms these parties to the usual panto-
characters. Much credit is due to the manager
for the getting up of this piece ; the scenery is unusually
IPlendid, and it is a bustling affair, though furnishing
little novelty in its tricks and changes. A view of Hun-
erford Market from the river is excellent, and a scene
tailed the Carnival at Venice furnishes an opportunity for
the introduction of Herr CLINE on the tight rope, and
sundry tumblers and jugglers, whose performances afforded
very considerable amusement. A series of views, repre-
senting the engagement between Admiral Napier's squa-
dron and the fleet of Miguel off Cape St. Vincent, were
introduced. This " marinorama" does great credit to the
artist, Mr. DANSON ; but it is rather oddly followed by a
scene called the Lake of Oblivion. The piece was fully
tUecesaful, though it certainly requires considerable curtail-
blent. Messrs. CHAPIN() and T. HILL were far from in-
different in the characters of Harlequin and Clown; and
though Miss RILIKIE may not he the most graceful, she
is decidedly the most active of Columbines.
