%It moare copious, s
attractive, and varied than had s evemru oc-
:!lrred in London. In fact, it will be the first time in the hie-
n? of entertainments in England that any such thing has
eon oven attempted. In America on benefit occasions, and
Allen it is desired by professionals to pay a mark of respect
to
a deserving beneficiaire, a Dramatic Carnival has been
'r,„___llanised and attended with the most profitable results. The
o"kival at Covent garden will be an effort to realise on Eng-
ah ground that which American ingenuity and enterprise
„. already accomplished with success in the Transatlantic
kaeatres. The Carnival will commence on Monday, March 3,
at one o'clock, with the performance (the last in London for
m?) of the great Pantomime of 1856, in, which Miss Harriet
ThLd,°,l, Miss Emma Horne, Mr. Harry Pearson, Mr. W.

Drama. Then a three-act Opera. To be succeeded by
