CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.

This establishment has exactly hit the taste of the
holiday folks. Money is nightly turned from the doors
The revival of "Uncle Tom's Cabia," with the powerful
caste of character, added to the superior manner it ip
placed on the stage, has gained golden opinions ; whilt
"Life in London ; As it Was, and As it Is, "
adapted by Mr. Nelson Lee, has created quite a
furore. " Torn Cribb's Parlour," as of old, introduc-
ing Harry Orme, Johnny Walker, Billy Duncan,
and Sam Millard, from Birmingham, who illustrate the
art of self-defence in a most scientific manner. We ao.-
vise all those lovers of the manly art to witness this dis-
play ; it is managed most respectfully, reminding us
strongly of the palmy days of the prize ring and the
Fives Court as of old. The theatre has lately been at-
tended by many of the nobility and aristocracy from the
West-end. The style of management at the City would
do credit to theatres of much greater pretensions.

Girl, for which additional music has been written by the
popular composer, who will make hie first appearance
in England after a long absence, and conduct his own
opera. The cast, including Mr. and Mrs. Sims Reeves,
Mr. Delevanti, Mr. Weiss, and Miss Poole, is very
strong ; and these eminent singers will be supported by
an orchestra carefully selected from the Italian Opera
bands, comprising such artistes as Tolbecque, Remusat,
Maycock, B.eussier (a new bassoon-player of celebrity
from Paris), Tbirlwall, Calkin, Collins, &c., and by a
chorus also drawn from the best sources. We hope that
this spirited undertaking will be attended with success.
