ADELPITI 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 Glance, some idea of the humour of
the piece may be inferred. The tragedy is travestied
with much whimsical ingenuity, and Wright's mim'cries
of the inimitable Risturi was highly comic, and carrie.i
the burlesque to a successful termination. Miss M.
Keeley and Miss Wyndham enacted the parts of Orphan-
and Jason. The scenery of the Lyceum has been exactly
copied, and the other appointments of the burlesque
were excellent. The burlesque was followed by the per
rmances of Mr. and Mrs. Williams, the Americas;
comedians. Such hso; been the success of these talented
artistes that the production of a novelty, of which report
speaks higitly, has bean for the present postponed. The
house was crowded to excess.

Prince Oscar of Sweden, attended by Lieut.-C loon]

pol.
VISIT OF PRINCE OSCAR TO NEWGATE —Yesterda',
afternoon, Prince Oscar, accompanied by Lieut. Col

entire building by Mr. Weatherheail, the intelligent and
active governor of the prison, who explained to his Se-
rene Highness the modes of classification by separation
in cells, both previous to and after conviction, with
which his Serene Highness expressed his approbation,
one of the principal objects of his visit to this country
being the experience of our prison discipline, and the
in. de of treatment of convicted persons. The Prince
thanked the governor, Mr. Weatherhead, for the infor.
mation he had received, and left the prison about half-
past five.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—Another highly
interesting addition has just been completed and added
to the Royal group in the Exhihitinn, it is a portrait
model of the present King of the Netherlands. His
Majesty is represented in an undress naval ur,if,srrn aid

most like and admirably executed. Many novelties are,

BELGIUM IN ENGLAND.--It is said that King Leopold
visits England expressly to obtain the advice of Prince
Albert relative to the new project of law for the Belgian
press, a project gently pressed upon his Majesty by
Louis Napoleon. Prince 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 press
is not forgotten. Therefore, at this juncture, old and
astute as Leopold may be, Albert may nevertheless he
able, in his c, nflict with the 'rench Empercr, to teach
his uncle to suck eggs—even the eggs of an Imperial
eagle,—Punch.
