Ri-Fum Ti-Fum, the sable magician, still con-
tinues to attract large audiences to this establish:
meat, which seem to pay great attention to his
opinion on passing events ; and when he said--
" That thanks to our free press, we now are sure

How Lambeth's Guardians treat their casual poor.
That we might learn the truth, from Pall Mall car" s'
swell
Disguised in vagrant garb, the pauper's tale to tell.
'Twas nobly done. Through him the world hath read
About its bath, its casuals, and its shed.
What can the Guardians say ? I say, at any rate,
Reform your rules at once—pity the pauper's fate,"
it was received with rounds of applause. After
alluding to " L'Entente cordiale" which now.
happily exists between France and England, he
takes us, or more properly speaking he transplants
the famous Jardin Mabile from the Champs
Elysees into the very heart of Lambeth, and gives
the Cantaburians an opportunity of witnessing 3
Parisian Bal Costume. This is admirably ar-
ranged, and Mr. Marshall, Mr. and Mrs. Randall'
Miss Hayes, Miss Metz, Miss Wieland, the gc)a-
tagnards (who sing one of their national melodies
charmingly), the Etoile family, and SignorTescall°
in his one-legged performance, do their utmost to
keep up the fun of a masquerade ; and when
transformation takes place (for there is a trail!'
formation, designed and painted by Mr. W. Govaleci
the mechanical arrangement by Mr. Burgess), an
we find Talliott descending as Mercury, surrotinciv—a
by fifty ballerines, a tableaux d'amour is formed
which would do credit to any metropolitan theatre°.
The " Medley Overture," and the incidental nin°l
is composed and arranged by Willem Vandal°.
and a waltz, which we understand has been chrle
tened " Fair Gertrude," bids fair to become vela
popular, as it contains a very pleasing °a
catching melody. The management have spared
no expense in placing this spectacular divertasse,
„
ment before the public, and we prognosticate it
will have no reason to regret the outlay. vv_a,
cannot do better than recommend those in sear
of amusement to go and see Ri-Fum Ti-Funk

THE AFFRAY ON BOARD THE TAMAR QUEEN --4‘
et
rumour is afloat giving a somewhat different asPe-ii
to this shocking affair. It is said that when the Diglisgt
seaman belonging to the schooner was sent ashore at
George the islander was sent on board by the island mores
chants to work in his room. The islander was not reed"
larly shipped, and when the vessel was about to sail is std
to have cried, and was understood to make some referee;
to his regret on his leaving his wife and children. Ilieh".
may therefore be some cause to doubt as to what view's 4
took of the intentions of Captain Tremills and the c'.."„
towards him.
