THE DRAMA.

ADELPHI.
That well known nautical drama, the "Pilot," $l7O
revived last night with great splendour of scenery, de'
corations, and appointments ; and although the present
generation has so thoroughly lost the recollection of the
American war that the ridicule of the Yankee army
seems now to be somewhat of an impertinence, the
piece proved to have intrinsic merits enough in its vijkl
to render its restoration to the boards'of the Aderpin
highly popular step. Mr. T. P. Cooke appeared one°
more in his original character, that darling of all the
seafaring gods, Long Tom Coffin ; and he danced with
a
scarcely impaired vigour his once famous horn-pipe,,
sang with unimpaired spirit, if with a somewhat vfen°:
ened voice, that well known bit of maritime philcisopb,
about the " tiles and chimbly pots." Ono other song
incident to the part he also sang, which, in our opiDlo
it would have been better to omit, namely, that wherein
Long Tom hints at a number of scarcely decent eqtill°'
ques a propos of his courtship. The heroinemf the even•
ing was Miss Mary Keeley, who looked charming
.enough as Kate Plowden, and displayed just that
ture of feeling and sauciness which is considered the
proper attribute of "the lass who loves a sailor." Ile,
song was encored, and her duet with Miss Arden at
the end of the first act was also lnudly applauded. Sr'
Wright was hardly at home in the Yankee Captain'
but be contrived to extract from the part a great deal,
fun, which appeared to be very acceptable to the an‘,l.l:
ence. Mr. Selby looked and acted the character of
Coots
on pilot with great effect; and when Mr. Co%
on being called before the curtain announced the Pine"
for repetition till further notice, the intimation was Iv
ceived with unequivocal marks of approbation.

SURREY, t
- The dramatic season proper commenced yesterday at
the. Surrey with "The Bird in the Hand," a play vill'eh
had had a great success in the previous season.
Shepherd on this occasion sustained his original a,14:,
ratter with improved effect ; but Mr. Creswickle 13150-
was filled by Mr. Basil Potter, who showed himeell a
promising pupil in that particular school of acting. ":
entirely new faces, Mr. and Miss Eburne, also nlallal
their appearance in the parts of the disinherited predig
and his wife, and received so favouracle a reception
as to lead to the belief that they will before long becotoe
estaulished favourites with the Surrey audience. 14,i808
Chalmers, an- importation from Dublin, played the prix'
cipal female part in the play, and had a satisfaet°T)
reception. The, novelty of the evening was a burlesql
on the " Traviata," written in the broadest style !
transpontine exaggeration, and transferring the scene'"„
Piccadilly and Cremorne. When we Kty that the Cot
sumptive heroine was personated by Mr. Widdicon"
the reader will most probab'y guess the rest—trelnery
dons Crinoline, excruciating paroxysms of cougbill
varied by an occasional sneeza-L.a new reading, ail
introduced with great effect—and the well known drin",
ing sons, given in a.style which Piccolotnini might I,tl.
vain attempt to equal. There was a good deal of latig°
ing at parts of the burlesque, but whether it wee, tbA:
the audience were not familiar with the original, or On;
their sensibilities were wounded by seeing it thus turne.us
into ridicule, the piece hung fire on the whole, a11,,d.„1
not likely to have a very long run. The Christy xlf,,
strels performed twice during the evening, and were,
usual, loudly and deservedly applauded.

PALL OF A WALL AT CAMDEN TOWN.—Yesteral
morning considerable excitement prevailed in the neigi
bourhood of Camden Town, in consequence of the faa
of a wall belonging to the Regent's Canal Coropaaff
well as to the goods sheds belonging to Mews. Piclifot
On Sunday night information was received of the crash
ing of the walls, and Mr. Thomas, the Regent's Caebs
Company's engineer, desired the towing-path *load 0
stopped up, which was immediately done. About PIA
o'clock yesterday morning away went the foundatioirt
the wall, pushing the towing-path out, when the see
fell with a tremendous crash. About 10 o clock snot ea
portion of stone and iron work fell on to the path, vibeo
three persons narrowly escaped being killed. Workait
were yesterday busily engaged in shoring up the
and the traffic of the canal for a few hours was e'
pended. ea
MADAMS TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—The cleseefoe
popularity obtained by this interesting collection 14
Europe, has been proved by the numerous distingula"ot
personages of all countries honouring the establishistabo
with their presence ; and of late, notwithstanding t.r,
unfavourable state of the weather, thousands of aclffig
ing visitors from the provinces have attended to Op
the wonders contained in the museum. It has base
the
most appropriately stated by our contemporary of
Times, "that in no other place in Europe are iso n 7
or
touching and important memorials of the great EruPe,tiot
to be found ; even for a national collection, our ga,440
allies might be proud to possess the relics which are ut;ii,
preserved." The indefatigable proprietors are, We for
derstand, fully employed in producing new features

public meeting was held at the Lecture-hall, Greenvirbi

large numbers from all parts of the borough, and
proceedi.gs throughout were of a noisy character, 5-et

the conclusion of Mr. Townsend's address, Mr. ritsg
presented himself, and claimed the right ..of rep
to certain observations made by Mr. Townsend. A ,t,eir
of hissing and yelling ensued, and ultimately the ca„,,%0
man desired Mr. Winn to leave the platform. This „"fr,
refused, and the chairman then forcibly ejected fled,
Winn, whose friends resented the act, and a general ad,
took place on the platform. No person was injureei

damage to the building, Mr. Winn again made eet•
appearance, and announced that he would hold a n'e'e

statements. The meeting broke up in confusion. 11-'i°4fr,
