THEATRE ROYAL, HAYMABKET.

MR. COE'S BENEFIT.

The entertainments at the Haymarket Theatre last
night, on the occasion of Mr. Coe's benefit, went Off
very brilliantly. Theywere more than ordinarilyvaried
in their character. After the favourite comedietta
of A Kiss in the Dark, came George Coleman the
Younger's five-act comedy of The Poor Gentleman,
with a cast, all things considered, of remarkable
excellence. What with Compton's 011apod and
little Clark's Stephen Harrowby, what with Chir
pendale's Sir Robert Bramble and Rogers's
Humphrey Dobbins, to say nothing of Braid's Cor-
poral Foss and Howe's Lieutenant Worthington,
of Miss Nelly Moore's Emily Worthington and of
Mrs. Chippendale's Miss Lucretia Mactab, the five
acts of this thoroughly admirable old comedy weet
off delightfully and to the complete enjoyment 13'
the audience—every word of the racy " dialogue
flying to its mark with unerring accuracy, as 011°-
pod himself might say, " pop on a sudden ; like the
going off of a field-piece, or an alderman in an ape"
plexy !" After the comedy there was a little inter-
lude of singing and playing—a sort of foreshortened
glimpse of a concert vocal" and instrumental— Pre"
fessor Fittig astonishing and delighting his hearers
(as he has recently done his Royal Highness
the Prince of Wales) with his wonderful
Zither, a sort of 2Eolian harp put into harness--
and a pupil of Mr. Benedict's (Miss Eleanor Ward),
making a brilliant debut before a London audience
as a pianist. Afterwards, and to crown the even"
ing's entertainment, there was the representation 01
the famous Burlesque-Opera of Bonzbastes Furioso
—a representation in which both the piece itself
i
and the incidental music introducing it, scattered
through it, or accompanying it, was played
tirely by " Sherwood's Company of Performing
Children"—last night's being their very first
appearance upon axy stage ! A marvellous little,
troupe of vocalists and instrumentalists, el,
comic actors and comic actresses in miniature;
Master Derrick was the King of Utopia (Arta%o°
minors)—Miss Prettyman (a very pretty little
woman, by the way), being his Minister of State

(Fusbos)—Master Wardle being General Born'
bastes—Miss Brownsmith and Master Brown"
smith being the two courtiers, and Miss Pettibone
the daintiest of little Distaffinas. The encores
were almost cruelly numerous, and the whei°
performance went off—in no mere phrase, 141 t
really—to admiration.

HALF-A-DOZEN CHARMING BALLADS AND 1)1;0°'
—published by Messrs. Robert Cocks and Co.)
New Burlington-street—have just now made
their appearance together. Three of theni
written by the indefatigable J. E. Carpenter, and
set to music by the inexhaustible Stephen
Glover—are vocal duets, entitled respeetivelfe
" Softly the Summer Winds," " Music Entraneln"
Sweetly shall flow," and, more tersely than either:
" The Two Mornings." Stephen Glover, too, 1;
the composer of one of the accompare,
songs, a song written by Howard Paul, and ell
titled, "Pretty Nanette." As to the remaining too
pieces not yet specified—each unmistakably a I°ll
song—one composed by Jesse Williams, the wer
of it by Mrs. Valentine Williams,' is the ballad (1*
" Melanie," now being popularised by the singlygo
of Mr. Rawlinson, the other written by I°,llt
Streakes and tenderly set to music by Franz iii"l;
is a little haunting ditty, entitled, "I met her 1.,
the Spring-time." Not one among these half dozeP
pieces but will be welcomed by the majoritY °i

those who may chance to hear it.
