essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear-
ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities,
and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth,
degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages
of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to
modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended
to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi-
tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health
happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en-
titled.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that
there are principles of personal management which cannot be
violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when
wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-
indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the
sting, of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil
and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that
there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply
a cure.

CANTERBURY HALL.

The Canterbury. Hall last night successfully vindicated
its claims to popular favour, notwithstanding the many
attractions provided elsewhere. This is pre-eminently the
place to visit at a season of general festivity, for people meet
each other face to face, and the whole aspect of the scene
is more social than the theatre. The spacious area of the
music-hall, ante-hall, and fine-arts gallery was completely
filled soon after the opening of the doors, and a goodly
proportion of the visitors sought the attractions of the
picture gallery until the time when the musical part of
the feast got into full play. An etnbarras de richesses
awaited the audience, for to vocalisation has recently
been added instrumentation of a character which would
reflect credit upon the very best performance at the
Hanover-square Rooms. We allude particularly to the
celebrated " Sauvlet Family," from Amsterdam. Their
talent, which we have already acknowledged in a previous
notice, is of a conspicuous character, and is rapidly making
its way with the lovers of sterling music artistically per-
formed. A burst of applause followed the performance of
their first piece, and the audience were most exacting in
their encores. Mr. E. W. Mackney convulsed the audience
with some of his nigger eccentricities and his collaborateur,
Mr. J. G. Forde, introduced his peculiar by-play with effect
into the class of comic songs in which he shines. The
whole entertainment, musical and pictorial, gave unlimited
satisfaction—the result of Mr. Morton's discriminating
enterprise. Mr. F. Jonghmans continues ably to direct the
musical portion of the entertainment, We are promised by
him a selection from. Flotow's opera of " Martha," and also
one froin Balfe's new opera:

NEW ROYAL PAVILION.

Mr. John Douglass was rewarded last night by an over-
flowing house. The pantomime, entitled " Handy Pandy
Sugar and Candy, Which Hand will you have ? or, Har-
lequin Orpheus and the Magic Lute."
The following is a brief outline of the plot, written by Mr.
Dolphin. The first scene represents the Giant Mountain by
moonlight, with the Shepherd Gurty sleeping, who is after-
wards punished for his somniferousness by the dame Kal-
zam. Orpheus then arrives with his magic lute, and play-
ing anair, the very trees express their delight by means of
their bark, and waft him to the Rose-entwined Palace and
Terraces, in the City of Light. Orpheus informs the Fairy
Queen that King Snob bewails the loss of his son and heir.
The Queen expresses her willingness to help him, but can-
not do so, he being protected by a second self, and in the
power of the Demon Hag. Orpheus starts to rescue the
lest one, first encouraged by a grand ballet pf the Fairy
Roses in the World of Fancy. Then we come to the cot-
tage of the dame, where Christabel is mourning for her lost
love. Heralds here proclaim a description of the lost prince
who turns out to be the sleepy shepherd, Gurty. The Hag
and Demons appear to thwart the search for the prince,
but in turn are thwarted by the lute of Orpheus. The Hag
spares the life of Gurty upon condition that he selects his
future fate from the Giant's hand. He consents—" Which
hand shall I have ?" His choice is made up, and he draws
his second self, who appears by his side, " like twin sun-
flowers on one stem ;" and here follows some business of a
peculiar nature, in which, whatever Gurty does in action,
voice, and manner, is also done by the other.
Harlequin, Mr. Ashate ; Columbine, Madame Pauline ;
Clowns, Messrs. Chappell and hndershon ; Pantaloons, Mr.
J. Matthews and Mr. J. Smith ; Spright, Signor Sylvani.
A number of comic scenes are then introduced. The whole
of the pantomim' ists deserve credit for their united efforts in
securing the success of the entertainment, which reflects
great credit upon the management.

STRAND.

The Christmas entertainment here is from the pen of
Messrs. Halliday and Lawrence, and is entitled " Kenil-
worth ; or, Ye Queene, Ye Earl, and Ye Maydenne," the
Plot of which is founded on Sir Walter Scott's well-known
novel. The incidents of the tale are pretty generally un-
derstood—the scene between the Earl of Leicester (Miss
Swanborough) and Amy Robsart (Miss M. Oliver) at
eurnnor F lace ; Queen Elizabeth's (Mrs. Selby) meeting
With the two rival earls at Greenwich ; the grand fete at
Kenilworth ; the appearance of Amy Robaart before the
Queen; Varney's plot, charging Amy with being mad, and
gating her away for the purpose of destroying the evidence
of his master's villany by a foul murder—these are the
bases of the burlesque. The piece, however, does not end
111 the manner described in the more sober account of the
Feat novelist. Amy's feet, we are told, entered the trap ;
but, happening to wear crinoline of a somewhat extraordi-
nary size, she was prevented from falling into the snare and
her life was saved. Lambeurne and Amy successively fight
WiOf Varney, who is vanquished by the fair swordswoman.
Ultimately the maiden Queen joined Leicester and Amy in
?Uarriage, and then came the grand denouement, represent-
Irtg the eras of Elizabeth, Anne, and Victoria in the Court
of Gems. This was certainly a dazzling spectacle, and one
Which, considering the size of the house, could hardly be
81wPassed at any theatre in London. The whole of the
characters were exceedingly well sustained. Miss M. Wil-
ton as Sir Walter Raleigh, and Miss C. Saunders, as Tres-
alb an,
won showers of applause ; while Miss Swanborough
carried the house by storm. A decided success was
hieved; there was no hitch ix the arrangements, and
"erYthing augured well for a good "run" and a profit-
able one to the management.

SADLER'S WELLS.
The entertainments provided by Messrs. Phelps and
Greenwood for their Christmas friends and the public at
this favourite place of resort were " The Lady of Lyons"
Old a grand comic pantomime, entitled " Harlequin and
Izaak Walton ; or, Tom Moore of Fleet-street, the
Sliver Trout, and the Seven Sisters of Toltezthszl." The

title of the piece indicate the nature of the story. The
Palace of Pearl in thy' Realms of Crystal, where the trans-
formations take place, and the ugly Brobdignagian maskers
become the agile Harlequin (Mr. C. Fenton) and Colum-
bine .(Miss C. Parkes), the senile pantaloon (Mr. Naylor),
and thievish clown (Mr. Nicolo Deulin), who highly de-
lighted their holiday audience by their tricks and gambols.
We cannot speak too highly of the scenery, much of which
is by Mr. C. S. James, a young artist of great promise.
The Palace of Pearls would, for gorgeousness and taste,
bear comparison with some of the best displays of Madame
Vestris herself; and the dances were really excellent, both,
for their picturesque grouping and the skill with which
they were performed. We doubt not that " Old Izaak
Walton" will have as many admirers on the banks of the
New River as he has ever had by the side of streams where
lovers of the rod and line contemplate and angle.

MONEY MARKET AND CITY NETVS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce
are now closed for the Christmas holidays. By
private contract a limited business has been trans-
acted in one or two of the principal staples, but
prices have exhibited little change of importance.
Tea continues firm, and in sugar there is no change
to report. Stocks, however, as compared
with those of the same period of last year,
show a considerable increase. Coffee continues
firm, but rice and rum exhibit a slightly down-
ward tendency. In saltpetre and tallow there is
little alteration, P.Y.C., on the spot, being quoted '
50s. 9d. ; and spring delivery, 50s. 6d. to 50s. 9d.

per cwt.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a mo-
derate business was transacted, 9,000 bales having
been disposed of, at full rates.
In banking circles there is still a good inquiry
for discount accommodation, but as soon as the en-
gagements now arriving at maturity shall have
been completed, renewed easiness and quietude may
be anticipated. An extensive absorption of money
always takes, place at this period, but it usually
subsides during the payment of the January divi-
dends at the Bank of England, which augment the

available supplies, and satisfy for a time the re-
quirements of the public. At present the rumours
lately circulated with respect to contemplated
foreign loans have not been confirmed, and if even-

tually they should be negotiated, they are likely
to be spread over a long interval, and the effect
upon the money market, in that case, will perhaps
not prove so detrimental as many are now inclined
to imagine.

There is very little business in progress in any
department of trade, and during the next few
days no improvement is anticipated. Transactions
are restricted as much as possible, but notwith-
standing the prevailing quietude there is a general
expectation of a decided revival of commercial
activity early in the spring. Advices from distant
markets strengthens this impression, and it is
hoped, for the sake of the revenue, and those
engaged in industrious occupations, that it will not
prove fallacious.

" The aim of the author is to present a common-sense view
of the Causes, Nature, Consequences, and Treatment of this
Disease, as also to free these questions from the Professional
Fallacies, the Popular Delusions, and the exaggerations of
Quackery by which they have hitherto been surrounded, to the
destruction of the health and happiness of thousands. These

PRINCESS'S.

It has been an immemorial :u;; to preface the riotous
fan of pantomime with some gloomy history, some tale of
guilt and punishment, laying down a good solid foundation
of practical ethics, occasionally enforced by an impressive
gallows scene, as with " George Barnwell," as a prepara-
tive to the very wild morals of clown and pantaloon. In
-this, as in many other instances, Mr. Kean scorns routine,
and leads up to his pantomime with the "Jealous Wife,"
fearlessly confident that the tiffs of l!)lr. and Mrs. Oakley
Will only prepare the way for the more practical jealousy of
Harlequin and Columbine. The 'pantomime for this year
is entitled" The King of the Castle ; or, Harlequin Prince
• Diamond and the Princess Brighteyes," and is due to the
pen and inventive genius of Mr. Alfred Crowquill. The
plot of the introduction owes no debt to any tale of the
nursery or school-room, but bears a strong family resem-
blance to all in turn. We shall not attempt to describe in-
cidents which are as exciting as they are difficult to bring
'within the usual compass of rational experience. The
Xing of the Castle, who rejoices in the name of Holufrom-
eterythingheim, and is played by Mr. Saker, possesses a
daughter, the Princess Brighteyes, whom he wishes to marry,
after the fashion of all such potentates, to an elderly, but
Wealthy, party. The Prince of Diamonds, however, is
assisted by a variety of supernatural beings, the most pro-
Minent among which is Jack Frost, who exercises his power
,Over the King to such effect that he gives his consent to the
espousal of his daughter and the Prince of Diamonds. The
intrigue is certainly not of the most complicated kind ;
nevertheless, we should be sorry to pledge ourselves to the
correctness of the version we have given. The happy con-
clusion to which we have referred being arrived at, a grand
scene occurs entitled the " Palace of Jewels," which pre-
Pares the way for the appearance of Clown, Harlequin,
Pantaloon, and Columbine, which parts are assumed re-
sPectively by Messrs. Huline, Cormack, Paulo, and Miss
Caroline Adams. The harlequinade is of the usual degree
of merit, and exhibits the ordinary number of tricks, con-
veying satirical hits at the follies of the day. Crinoline is
of Course a prominent subject of allusion. and a full-sized
"cage" is brought on the stage by Clown and Pantaloon,
and converted into all sorts of uses by them. After travel-
ling from the city, where the Lord Mayor's show is held up
to ridicule, and then taking a trip to the sands at Margate,
Where all sorts of gambols are performed by Master James
clown junior, a loyal tableau in the good old legiti-
Mate style, representing Neptune and Britannia surrounded
by the wooden walls of Old England, closes the pantomime
amidst cheers of enthusiasm.

ALHAMBRA PALACE.

Messrs. Howes and Cushing, from being mere flying
visitors, seem to have become regular dwellers in the land,
and the American enterprise and industry are fast making the
Leicester-square circus the chief place of its kind in London
for equestrianperformances. We have beforo had to notice
and praise the very excellent plan upon which this place is
conducted, and though, owing to its extreme popu-
larity, the crowd was rather great yesterday, yet
the same good system provided for all corners with-
out any inconvenience beyond that which the great
number of applicants for admission rendered unavoidable.
One of thegreat attractions of the day was the introduction
of ano less celebrated quadruped than Cruizer himself,
who was walked about by his great subduer, Mr. T'tarey. If
anything was necessary to prove Mr. Rarey's complete com-
mand over horses, the quiet aspect of this once most fero-
cious brute, now tame and docile as a little pony, would at
once have demonstrated it. There was a very droll panto-
mime performed in the circus, in the course of which some
astounding feats of horsemanship elicited repeated bursts
of applause. The clown of the circus is as great a marvel
as any member of the company, and his drolleries show
that our Yankee cousins have even a better notion than
ourselves of amusing buffooneries. Throughout tbe per-
formances were of the most spirited and amusing. kind, and

GREAT NATIONAL STANDARD.

The performances here commenced with a pantomime,
entitled " Queen Anne's Farthing and the Three King-
doms of Copper, Silver, and Gold; or, Harlequin Old King
Counterfeit and the Good Fairy of the Magic Mint;" but, as
is usually the case on Boxing-night, not a word could be
heard. The scenery, under the management of Messrs.
Gilks, Qui.* and Irwin, was most beautiful, particularly
the transformation scene, which was superb. It represented
a crystal fountain, surmounted by a canopy sparkling with
crystals and brilliants, and supported by naiads clothed
in silver, and under it reclined the Fairy King (Miss
Adelaide Downing), who performed the part remark-
ably well. In the basin under the fountain rose
another row of naiads covered with silver, and the light
thrown upon the silver glittered with great splendour, and
the revolving stars, lighted by fireworks on either side,
added materially to the effect of the imposing scene. As
usual, " Tippetty Witchet" was sung by the Clown, who,
on being called on for " Hot Codlins," danced the sailor's
hornpipe. The various tricks and transformations were
well managed, and the cuts at the crinoline were well
received.

The whole was concluded by a drama entitled the " Sol-
dier's Wife, which, as usual, was not heard, but seen and
applauded."

CITY •OF LONDON.

The pantomime, which was entitled "King Comet, and
Prince Quicksilver ; or, Harlequin All the World and his
Wife," contained the usual amount of pantomimic none-
sense ; but the various transformations introduced were
very good,-and the scenery throughout was beautiful. The
best scene in the whole piece was what is termed "the
transformation scene," where Harlequin, Columbine,
Clown, and Pantaloon are introduced in propria persona.
The new and beautiful scenery by Mr. Beaumont is highly
creditable to him, and the machinery was worked with ad-
mirable accuracy, and the effect of the whole was greatly
increased by the application of Hughes's electric light.
The performance succeeded in all respects, and was highly
applauded by the audience.

At the present moment there are two companies of nigger
melodists contending for public favour—the Coloured Opera
Troupe, at the Oxford Gallery, Oxford-street, and the Ohio
Minstrels, at the Adelaide Rooms, Lowther-arcade. Both
companies are excellent in their way, and, it being difficult
to give the pas to either, we recommend our readers to visit
both. The dancing of the Ohio Minstrels is irresistibly

SURREY.

Order and good humour marked the commencement of
the truly magnificent pantomime, bearing the title of "Har-
lequin Father Thames and the River Queen ; or, ye Lorde
Mayore of London." The opening scene was formed
by the fitting up of the proscenium so .as to repre-
sent " Waterloo Bridge on the Surrey side," while
through the arch might be seen Charing-cross Suspension
Bridge, the Palace at Westminster, -&c. Here Father
Thames, most ably delineated by Mr. E. Marshall, bearing
a sort of trident impaling a specimen of the feline species,
evidently a victim to asphyxia, assembles his parliament,
consisting of the allegories bearing the names of Fleet
Ditch, City Sewer, Strand Sewer, Miasma, Diphtheria,
Typhus Fever, &c. ; as also Chelsea New Bridge (a smart
fellow), Blackfriars Bridge (a cripple friar), Westminster
Bridge, Waterloo Bridge, Puddle Dock, &c. Sanita, admir-
ably portraired by Miss Cuthbert, appears and signifies her
intention to purify the Thames. This scene is succeeded
by one of a truly gorgeous and brilliant description, termed
the Crystal Home of the River Queen, which elicited re-
peated bursts of applause, and calls for Mr. Shepherd (one
of the spirited lessees), who duly answered the call, and
received the general congratulations of the audience. In
this splendid scene a grand ballet of water nymphs by
Mademoiselle Rosine (the Columbine) took place, exhibiting
magnificent specimens of the Terpsichorean art, the beauti-
ful classic groupings by M. Chapino having a most pleasing
and brilliant effect, which at its conclusion was received
with loud and reiterated plaudits. In the performance there
were some admirable hits and tricks :having reference to
Louis Lapoleon, the Weeclon Inquiry, the Adulterated
Lozenges, &c. The performances of Mr. W. Buck, the
well-known Clown, Mr. A. Tapping as Harlequin, Mdlle.
Rosine as Columbine, and Mr. W. Bradbury as Pantaloon.
The pantomime reflects the utmost credit upon the spirited I
lessees.

BURFORD'S PANORAMA.

Delhi, Lucknow, and other scenes rendered notorious by
the recent events in India, still continue sufficiently attrac-
tive to warrant the proprietor in delaying to produce any
novelty, but that is no matter of surprise when we remem•
bar how well and with what apparent truthfulness all Mr.
Burford's panoramas are rendered. Indeed, no visitor from
the country considers he has seen London until he has been
to the panorama in Leicester-square.
