execution. Indeed it was almost impossible to discover the
meaning, much less the wit, of the various incidents. The best
satirical hit was at the 'Aerial Ship. The Ship represents Moe-
Ilall's dock-yard. The Monsieur having succeeded in
filling his money-bags at the expense of our credulity, sticks

the Clowns steal a gigantic rocket 50,000 mile!3 in range,
which they fix on tJ the car, and then fire the train, much to the
consternation of the passengers, who find that, like many a
scheme of more pretension, though it began with a great
bounce, it ended at last in nothing but smoke. Gibson was
the Harlequin. Brown the Pantaloon, King and Sanders the
Clowns, and Misses Lane and Griffiths the Columbines. The
pantomime concluded with a splendid scene and an exhibition
of fireworks, which restored the good humour of the audience,
and saved it from the sentence o condemnation by which it
was at One time evidently threatened. In the Dream at Sea,
the introductory piece of the evening, Mrs. Stirling made her
first appearance here in the character of Biddy Nuts, vice
Mrs. Nisbett, who has returned to the Queen's. Theatre. She
has a good person, i 3 accustomed to stage business, appears to
be sensible and lively, and will doubtless prove an acquisition
to the theatre.

•Q UEEN'S.
This theatre was opened on Saturday evening, under the
management of Mrs. Nisbett. Three novelties were produced
with success—the first was a comic drama, under the title of
Patrick the Foreigner; o.r the Knight for a Day. The hero
of the piece, art unconscious Patlauder, with a twist of the
tongtic peculiar to hiS countrymen; being shipwrecked on the
coast of Northumberland on St. Patrick's day, obtains the
cognomen of " Patrick the Foreigner." The piece is
smartly written, and the acting throUghout good. Jones,
however, did not appear quite at home is the Itisl.man
the brogue evidently bothered him.. The deservedly high
reputation that Mr.-Jones enjoyed in Edinburgh in perso-
nating the finished gentleman (a line of character in which
he canuot be excelled), induces us to . hope for the plea-
sure of witnessing hint in apart better adapted to his talents
than %Patrick the Foreigner. • The clever piece that followed,
is from the pen of Mr. W. Collier, and is founded on a para-
graph which appeared in the Post a few days since, and ran
as follows The Hon. Miss King was on the field. She
is distinguished for her elegant and graceful riding. She was
in at the death, and was presented with the brush !" Mrs.
Nisbett played admirably in the heroine,' who puzzles her
lover, and triumphs over his jealousy, by assuming male attire.
Mr. Parry was gentlemanly in the hero, and. Mr. Oxberry
was extremely amusing. The tableaux vivants in the next
piece, entitled Flowers of Loveliness, are taken from- 'Lady
Blessington's charming "work of that name. _ The tableaux
were well arranged, and the effect was extremely good. Mrs.
Nisbett and her sister, Miss Mordaunt, as Roses, formed the
principal and most attractive group. Christmas Capers, an
amusing trifle, concluded the entertainments. The house was
full.

VICTORIA.

The Manager has preserved his great attraction, The Jewess,
as his opening piece The Glass Curtain, with the perfor-
mances of the celebiated Ramo Samee, is continudd ; after
which the great Christmas Annual, the pantomime, entitled
Harlequin Jack and his Eleven Brothers or Little Puck and
the Magician- of the Hermitage. The nu►sery talc of " Jack
and his Eleven Brothers," has been selected by Mr. Moncrieff,
the author, as a material upon which to hang his pantomime,
which is altogether got up on a scale quite unprecedented at a
minor theatre. The number of supernumeraries, infantine and
adults, is enormous; and so also is.the corps de ballet, young
and old ; the music is very appropriate, by Mr. T. Hughes.
We expect to hear the Manager boasting cf his haVing made a
decided hit.
