CFIRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR,
Bat although he comes in snow, he still hopesto
his yearly visit to meet with a warm
reception—but where is he going ? Why, pay
the Spirit of John Rich, in the
GHOSTLY CITY OF DEPARTED FUN.
This city is composed of the Tombs of the by-gone Pantomimes—
" Who's dat kanicking at der door ?"—Come and see—" J. Andersen's
my Joe, John," couldn lam Rich," that's mere than every one can
say ;we wish they —How to make a Pantomime l'—`• that is
the question"—but the answer, it is hoped, will be satisfactory—
Poor Tra-ge-dy meets with no clemency, so we fly by night" to
A SPLENDID HALL IN THE PALACE OF GOOD
BESS.
We now come to Historical Facts, therefore, as the Clown at
A.stley's would say, " Let us be serious." It is an historical fact,
that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess,
therefore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspl-
racy—Sir Walter Rale gh fears his pipe will be put out—Bacon gets
(mite in a frizzle, and Lord Burleigh shakes his head—bat there's
nothing in that, whatever they may say to the contrary.
It is an historical fact, that Good Queen Bess was assisted at her
toilet by many of her noblemen, therefore the
GRAND PROCESSION OF THE TOILETTE
is introduced, in which the Royal Wig ! the Royal Ruff!! the
Royal Blushes ! ! ! and the Royal Petticoat ! ! ! ! will make their
first appearance on any stage, and trust to the " usual indulgence of
a British Public." These are followed by
GOOD QUEEN BESS
en deshabille, as she is represented in a picture at Hampton Court.
—What comes next will certainly follow—and then willbe seen
GOOD QUEEN BESS
in all her royal splendour.—lt is an Historical
so many Fact, that Good
Queen Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers that she
scareely knew upon which to decide"—and it is an Historical Fact
that the following were a few of them.
THE REJECTED ONES :
Philip of Spain, Prince Rupert, Prince of Sweden, Duke of Anjoa,
Prince Alengon, Marquis of Winchester, the King of Sweden,
Ilenry of Navarre, Archduke Charles, Earl of Arundel, Sir William
Pickering, Charles Blount, and the Earl of Arran. Good Queen
Bess appoints a meeting of these " wonderous proper men" at
Kenilworth, bat declares, that on her way, " A hunting she will go"
—and having got on the " High Horse," the story gallops on to
CUM NOR HALL BY MOONLIGAT—WiIson.
" Coming events cast their shadows before "—" Rest thee,
my darling "—Ketehy, ketchy, ket.:hy—" Put out the light,
and then "—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to KeOhnil-
worth— He stops at Love's half-way house, the Robsar Arm
he s—makeS no ,
Susanna," or rather " Oh, Amy !"—lt can't be said, "
bones about it "—They part, " more in sorrow, than in anger," but,
" being gone, Amy is herself again "—that is to say, a rather jealous
yoang lady, who in her " deep despair," introduces her Lovely
Babby, to whom she sings the following palliate stanza
" Come my tabby, come along with me
Well go to far-famed Kenilworth,
Your naughty dal to see."
And so they do.

KENILWORTH CASTLE
As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visi.
For further particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori-
cal fast that Good Queen Bess paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and
" paid the piper." This, his gorgeous fete, half ruined him ; there-
fore we pity his fate, but must admire his wondrous generosity, for
all he ever hoped for in return was—half-a-crown. The Earl fore-
stalls Shakspere, by discovering " that the course of true love never
did run smooth," for here he meets with e
som twenty
prove " com
pp
er-
tears," and to him they do come " petit oars," for they
fect 'bears, or, more properly speakiug, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel
en a grand scale a sort of " tiff for the million," takes place, which,
although beginning in love, ends in war, and the total destruction of
