CHRISTMAS BOOKS.

Th• Compliments of the 'Season ; or, A Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year. By Mrs.
Gordon Smythies, author of " Cousin Geoffrey."
James Blackwood.

A hundred thousand times repeated at this season
of the year, this Christmas greeting comes from
none more gracefully than from Mrs. Gordon
Smythies, whose pen As. already. delightfully fami-
liar to the novel reader. With the elegant little
volume before us, a "merry Christmas" now may
be pleasantly passed, and the story-tellers round
the fireside in Great Russell-street will tell their
stories again and again with new approbation to
many a homely group. There is the story of the
" Vacant Chair, and IVho Filled it "—there is Mr.
Younghusband's Courtship, or " No Fool like an
Old Fool"—there is a pathetic description of " A
Strike," and a very charming story, founded on
fact, of " The Old Curate and the New Vicar"—
there is a romantic history of an Editor in Love, and
a coup de theatre at last with two great arrivals.
In a word, there is (as in such a book there should
be) abundance of fun, and no lack of interest. Mrs.
Smythies enlivens her pages with a delightful
humour, and is singularly felicitous in her de-
scriptions. After speaking, for example, of
the old curate, in his youth, with his golden
hair, she tells us, in an image as happy as it is
beautiful, " since then Time had carried off the gold
and left the change in silver. And yet more elo-
quent is a passage in the introduction recalling to
the forgetful minds of Christmas revellers the holy
nature of the feast they celebrate. On the other
hand, as instances of humour, we might cite the
remark on poor Gaston, who, after some diEappoint-
molt in business, took to his pen, "he might
almost as well," says his biographer, "have taken
to his bed !" Or, better still, the scene where Mr.
Youngliusband, a beau of sixty, is anxiously array-
ing himself for conquest, under the auspices of
Hodge, or Hodgkinson, his country valet. " How
do I look, Hodgkinson ?" he asks, " how do I look
in front ?" " You looks most becoming, sir." " And
how do I look behind ?" "If possible, grander
still, sir." " llodgkinson," said Mr. Younghusband,
" should you like to have a mistress ?" Hodgkinson
drew himself up, grew very red, and replied indig-
nantly,—" No, sir ! I values virtue and reputation
as father and grandfather done afore me ; but I
shouldn't object to a wife, sir, if I could afford such
a very expensive article." We have not space for
further extracts, nor are they required. Who does
not desire to have " A Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year ?" To all who do, let us very
heartily wish " The Compliments of the Season"
from the Laud of Mrs. Smythies.

Mont Blanc was first started. Nine times in every
succeeding week he went through his entertain-
ment and sung his songs, never allowing any real
or fancied illness, or any domestic matter, however
onerous or worrying, to interrupt the due discharge
of his business. There are few who can say as
much.

Since the first appearance of Mont Blanc he
almost entirely ceased to pursue any strictly lite-
rary avocations—his slight "Story of Mont Blanc,"
which has some personal interest, and a direct bear-
ing on the performance, being the only work which
he published since that date, with the exception of
an occasional letter published anonymously in the
London newspapers, containing smart and pleasant,
but somewhat exaggerated, descriptions of the social
state of the metropolis. He recently visited China
for the purpose of collecting materials for a fresh
entertainment, founded on an inspection of the in-
terior of the Celestial Empire and the manners of
its inhabitants.

It only remains to add, that though he may be
regarded as an impersonation of success, Mr. Albert
Smith has had his failures, and his detractors and
enemies too. Amongst other examples we may
instance " The Man in the Moon " and " The
Month " were periodical publications which were
edited by him, and had a great run for a time.
One of the leading traits cf his character was per-
severance ; and to that quality, in a great measure,
may be attributed the success of his entertainment.

&KICKING OCCURRENCE ON BOARD
ANTwERP, Dec. 22.—Intelligence from Mazatlan of t. he
18th October states " That the Irich (Austrian brig), with
4,800 bags coffee from Rio de Janeiro to San Francisco, has
been found at anchor near the coast. On board there were
only two sailors, half dead, and two dead bodies bearing
traces of a violent death. A boat with three sailors has
arrived at San Blas. It appears that want of water and the
scurvy had made great ravages on board. The Iricli is
now at anchor in this port, and will probably proceed in a
short time to San Francisco.
DEATH OF A HUNTER IN A HORSEBOX.—A
singular circumstance occurred on the Great Northern
Railway on the 14th inst. The son of Mr. T. F. A. Burna-
by, of Langford Hall, is studying at Eton College, and had
a valuable hunter which he was in the habit of riding out.
Being about to spend the vacation at home, Mr. Burnaby
sent his horse by the Great Northern Railway. The
animal was seen to be all right in the box at Peterborough,
but when the train arrived at Newark the horse was found
quite dead, with his head out of the collar, and his body in
a position which would produce death in a Very short time.

GREAT WESTERN AND BRENTFORD.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held on Monday, at the offices, 27, George-street,
Westminster, the Viscount Villiers presiding.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the meeting upon the terms
of the lease which had been entered into with the
Great Western Company, because he was satisfied
that the effect of it would be to secure to them an
immediate and certain return—and by no means a
small return—upon the capital which they had in-
vested in this undertaking. It was framed upon
the principle of being mutually beneficial to both
parties ; for whilst it would bring great traffic upon
their short line, it would prove of much advantage
to the larger company, by bringing it at once into
communication with the basin of the Thames. (Hear,
hear.) Under this arrangement, their dividend must
reach rather more than 5 per cent. ; for, according
to the lowest estimate their receipts must amount to
£8,683 per annum, and in all probability they
amount to £12,000 a year. On the whole, he
thought that the meeting would concur with him,
that the agreement was a very favourable one for
his company, and that it would not be onerous or
oppressive upon the Great Western. (Hear, hear.)
The report was unanimously agreed to, and the
proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman and the directors.

STATE 01? TRADE.

LEEDS, March I.—The woollen cloth trade continues
steady, both in the warehouses and in the manufacturing
districts. Fabrics suitable for spring and summer form the
bulk of the demand, and should the season be favourable
there will no doubt be a good retail trade. To-day's market
was about the average character. There was a fair attend-
ance of buyers, and a moderate business was transacted.
Prices are firm.

MANCHESTER, March I.—The advices to hand from Cal-
cutta, written by a commercial correspondent of one of our
large houses, who is usually free from exaggeration, says :
" Our market continues in a very healthy state, and 61b
to 71b shirtings have advanced 4d to 6d per piece. Yarns
are also in better demand, and considerable sales have been
made on'the spot and to arrive."
Other advices bear out these statements, and the result is
that cloths for immediate delivery here are still in good
demand at the very highest prices current last week, but
in reality very little business has been effected from the
simple fact that manufacturers have not the cloth to sell.
The home trade, without being flat, does not yet show
much activity. Printing cloths are in very good demand,
and at extreme prices. Long and T cloths are in good de-
mand, at last week's rates. In yarns there has been a fair
business for Germany, and under the hope that the peace of
Europe may be preserved buyers for that market have given
out contracts rather freely, extending over the next five or
six weeks, at an advance of id..to id. per lb. The home
trade are also free buyers of cop yarns, which are reported
id. per lb. dearer than last week. Doubled yarns up to 70's
are in demand, at a slight advance, but 80's and upwards
are not much sought after. Buyers for India are operating.
to a moderate extent, but most of the producers' of suitable
yarns are well engaged.

Tins DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

well supported.

HAYMARKET.

A version of the French vaudeville, "Le Mere de
Famine," was brought out on Monday night with the title
of " The Young Mother," chiefly for the purpose of intro-
ducing Miss Emily Allen to the London public.
Thirteen years have elapsed since the original work,
which is by MM. Dennery and G. Lemoine, was first pro-
duced at the Gymnase, where it still remains as a stock
piece ; and, if we remember right, an earlier translation has
been performed on the English stage. However, the story
of a young girl who acts as a mother towards her numerous
brothers and sisters, and who, though she finds one of them
rather unruly, perseveres in her task to the end, is of a
kind that will bear telling more than once ;. and the audi-
ence last night were pleased enough when the scampish
brother, played by Mr. W. Farren, proved a convert, and
the goodnatured cabinet-maker, represented by Mr. Buck-
stone, engaged to take with him the " young mother," as
his better-half, to Australia—a projected emigration being
introduced by the adapter at the end of the tale, in order to
enlist more powerfully the sympathies of a modern English
audience. Miss Allen, whose physical power is not great,
looked exceedingly artless, and played very prettily as the
"young mother." She was loudly applauded when led on
at the conclusion by Mr. Buckstone, who announced the
piece for repetition amid general signs of approbation.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE FIRE AT THE PANTHEON.—PICKING POCKETS.
—Two young men, named Wm. Smith and James Young,
described as weavers, residing at the east end of the town,
were charged with attempting to pick pockets at the fire at
the Pantheon Bazaar, Oxford-street.

From the evidence of Charles Cole, 317 A, an active offi-
cer, it appeared that, about nine on the previous night, he
was in Oxford-street, there being a crowd of at least 1,000
persons assembled, in consequence of a fire having broken
out at the Pantheon, ten engines being in attendance,
when he saw the prisoners, in company with two others, and
after watching them for some time he saw Smith, with
his arms folded, go up to a gentleman, and getting in front
of him, put his hand on his watch-guard, and afterwards
walk away, and shortly after saw them go to the corner of
Poland-street, where he saw Smith repeat the act still with
his arms folded. Perceiving that they were being watched,
they were walking away, when ho seized ono of them, when
there was a cry of " Roughs," and stones were thrown at
him and the constables who were assisting him, by their
companions.
• On the way to the station Smith said, " It's
no use giving me ' a drag' for this. I'll sling you a dol-
lar if you'll turn me up, that slop knows nothing about it."
Smith's father said his son had never been in custody
before, but the officers being satisfied he had, as well as his
companion, they were remanded for further inquiries.

DRURY-LANE.

A new ballad-opera, or perhaps more strictly speaking
" maperetia," glees and choruses being included in the scheme
Was produced on Monday night, in presence of a crowded
audience, and with entire success. The subject of " Wil-
liam and Susan "—of which the words are by Mr. T. H.
Reynoldson and the music by Mr. J. H. Tully—is, in re-
gard to the main incidents, so identical with the late Mr.
Douglas Jerrold's melodrama of " Black-eyed Susan," that
it would be superfluous to describe the plot. Suffice it that
the story is extremely well adapted for lyrical purposes,
and that Mr. Tully has been very happy in the musical
delineation of the various situations. At present we have
only space to record that the operetta, which is put upon
the stage in a highly efficient manner, was received through-
out with extraordinary favour ; that several pieces were
loudly redemanded ; and that one of the scenes—" Full
view of the Downs, with the fleet riding at anchor"—was
so greatly admired that a unanimous call was raised for the
painter—Mr. W. Beverley. Among the representatives
of the principal characters were two novices, Miss C.
Lucette (Susan), and Mr. Edmund Rosenthal, who took
the part of Captain Cameron. Both were successful. Of
these, however—of Mr. Haigh, a tenor well known to the
patrons of Drury-lane Theatre, who impersonated William ;
of the rest of the dramatis personae, and of the music par-
ticularly, we must defer speaking till another occasion. At

the fall of the curtain the applause was vociferous, and, in
obedience to the general desire of the audience, Mr. Tully
appeared bef3Se the footlights.
London, England, 1859-03-02

LYCEUM.

Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams have commenced an en •
-gagement at this theatre, and the whole character of the
entertainments is changed in consequence—every piece
mentioned in the bills being supported by one or both of
the popular artists. For the " Irish Boy," moreover, an
entirely new comic drama has been provided, with
the imposing title of the " Leprechaun." To the gene-
rality of the London play-goers this word looks hard and
mysterious, but the learned in Irish fairy lore are well
aware that it denotes a gnome of the Emerald Island, who
usually appears in the garb of a little old-fashioned gentle-
man, and by dint of extortion will give up a considerable
treasure to any one who is fortunate enough to capture him.
In several of Mr. Crofton Croker's " Fairy legends" the
Leprechaun is a most important personage, but it is not to
this copious treasury that the author of the new drama is
indebted for his story, the scene of which is laid in Spain
during the last moments of Espartero's regency. Phelim
O'Donnell, an Irish soldier of the British Legion, who has
remained in the Peninsula after his military services have
come to an end, and has one fine day lost himself in a wood,
chances to set his eyes on an old miser, who has come to
bury a treasure, and at once concludes that he is a Lepre-
chaun. The beating which on this hypothesis he logically
administers to the supposed sprite causes the latter to
shriek aloud for help, and Pholim soon finds himself a pri-
soner, partly on a charge of robbery, partly because he is
mistaken for his namesake, General O'Donnell, for whose
apprehension a reward has been offered. In this predica-
ment he conducts himself with all that easy assurance that
is natural to theatrical Irishmen, until the fall of Espartero
releases him from this dilemma. The use made of the
traditional gnome in carrying out this story is but trifling,
nor are the somewhat flimsy incidents much strengthened
by a Spanish love tale which serves as a sort of
underplot ; but the admirable humour of Mr. Barney
Williams can give substance to dramatic shadows, and the
oldest jokes gather freshness as they glibly flow from his
tongue. When we state that the " Leprechaun" enables
this excellent comedian to indulge in his habitual "fun,"
we have named the only merit it possesses.
