CANTERBURY HALL.

Double wag the triumph achieved by Mr. Morton upon
Rixing-day, his spacious ball being crowded both when
opened in the day time and the evening. Tole double
performance, a real boon to the holiday million, was a
most happy hit on the part of the spirited and popular
proprietor, and the excellence of-the entertainment pro-
vided on the occasion redounds greatly to the credit of
the establishment. Each concert consisted of elections
from " La Traviata" and others of the most celebrated
modern operas, in which Madame Marietta was particu-
larly distinguished, and of divers ballads and glorious
comic songs, in which the drolleries of Macknay and
Sam Collins were rewarded with uproarious laughter
and applause. By the general excellence of its arrange-
ment,, and the high talents of its company, the Caoter-
bury Hall has deservedly attained a foremost position
among those places of metropolitian entertainments
which possess a genuine claim to the patronage of the
public, and to such of our friends as are as yet strangers
to its attractions, we can recommend a visit with pe,rfeet
safety. They will there encounter nothittihat can
offend either ear or eye, whilst they will enjoy a rich
harmonic treat, probably excelling-, bat oertainly not
falling short of their most sanguine expe.-tations. Mr.
Morton from the be;inning of his career has made it his
study to deserve success, and, we are glad to say, he
now commands it to his heart's content

ALBERT SMITH'S MONT BLANC AND VESUVIUS.—It
is almost superfluous to say that a single place has not
been vacant any evening since Mr. Smith resumed his
p pular entertainments at the Egyptian-hall ; nor need
we dwell upon the excellence of the monologue on Mont
Blanc, Naples, Pompeii, and Vesuvius, since the public
are already aware of its striking peculiarities, and ever
ready at the opening of the doors to fill to overflowing
the elegant Salle in which the wonders of these localities
are so cleverly indicated. In addition to his usual per-
formance., Mr. Smith appeared on Saturday afternoon
at three o'clock. Every day during the week a morning
representation is to be given.
MADAME TUSSAUD'S ExHlßlTloN.—Another highly-
interesting addition has just been placed in the museum
of this popular establishment, consisting of a portrait of
General Havelock. This gallant soldier is represented in
the present uniform of a lieutenant-general, decorated
with numerous military orders ; among them, the
Order of the Bath. The lenebs is considered
truthful, and the figure is admirably constructed. The
public flocked, as usual, on Saturday to this most attrac-
tive and enduring of our London exhibitions.
THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, in the vicinity of the
Colosseum, were crowded, beyond precedent of any
former year. The extreme mildness of the weather, and
the reduced price of admission from a shilling to sixpence
until Jan. 6, as a ell as the increased attraction of this
most interesting collection, contributed, doubtless, to
the lariat, attendance of vi-itors, amongst whom were a
goodly proportion of juveniles, whose delight was
expressed in shouts of laughter, especially in the vivacity
of the drinking bears, and the monkey.
THE NATIIONAL GALLERY, Trafalgar-square, and the
English portion of the collection at Marlborough-house,
Pall-mall, were fast closed on Saturday, to the great
disappointment of some tb usands of persona, many
from distant parts of the country. The House of Lords
was visited by upwards of 7,000 persons. Also the East
India-house Museum, the United Service Museum,
Scotland-yard ; Geological Museum, Jermyn-street; St.
Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, the Tower, and
other objects of interest.
DR. W. B. MARSTON'S MUSEUM 07 ANATOMY.—The
wondrous mscbanism of the human frame, illustrated by
beautiful preparations and models, is one of the most
curious scientific exhibitions in the metropolis.
CASINO DE VENISE.—This elegant place of entertain-
ment will doubtless, during the coming, holidays, re-
ceive its fair share of public support, which should be
considerable. The hall is one of the moat elegant, in
every respect, in London—handsome as many of the
new ones, constantly springing up, are admitted to be.
The greatest order and decorum is, at all times, ob-
served; and the band, which is under the direction of
Mr. Packer, is of a very high order.
CHRISTY'S IMINSTRELS.—We know of no entertain-
ment that will so well repay the trifling cost and time of
a visit to the renowned Christy Minstrels, who are per.
forming nightly to delighted audiences, at the Poly-
graphic Hall, King William-street, Strand.

CLIFTON SUSPENSION BRID44E.—The scheme for com
pleting this structure has been abandoned for the pre-
sent session. Some negotiations which took place between
the provisional directors and the legal representatives of
Mr. J. H. Greville Smyth, of Ashton Court, having
proved abortive, sufficient time was not left for obtaining
the amount required to be deposited in compliance
with the Parliamentary standing orders, and the pro-
ject has therefore been of necessity deferred for another
year.
