CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR,
Bat although he comes in snow, he still hopes Pad eet with a warm
reception—but where is he going ? Why, to is yearly visit to
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 knocking at der door?"—Come and see—" J. Anderson's
my Joe, John," and " I am Rich," that's mere than every one call
say ;we wish they could—How to make a Pantomime ?—" that is
the question"--l-b meets answer, it is hoped, will te satisfactory—
Poor Tra-ge-dy with no clemency, so we fly by night" to
A SPLENDID HALL IN THE PALACE OF GOOD
QUEEN BESS.
We now come to Historical Facts, therefore, as tke Clown at
Astley'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
Bacon a conspgets
i-
racy—Sir Walter Raleigh fears his pipe'will be put out-7
quite 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 Raft ! ! the
Royal Blushes ! ! ! and the Royai Petticoat Ili! *ill make their
drat appearance us any stage, and trust to the " usual indulgence of
a British Public." These are followed by
GOOD QUEEN LESS
en deshabille, as she is represented in a picture at Hampton Court.
—What comes next will certainly follow—and then will be seen •
GOOD QUEEN IIESS
In all her royal splendour.—lt is an Historical
so Fact
many , that Good
Queen Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers that
scarcely 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,
Henry of Navarre, Archduke Charles, Earl of Arundel, Sir William
Pickering, Charles Blount, and tha
`Ewa of Arran. Good Queen
Bess appoints a meeting of these , derous proper men" at
Kenilworth, but 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 MOONLIGIIT—WiIsen.
" Coming events cast their shddows before "—" Rest thee,
my darling "—Ketchy, ketchy, ketchy—" Put out the light,
and then "—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to Kenil-
worth—He stops at Loves half-way house, the Robsar Arms
makesno
—" Oh,
Susanna," or rather " Oh, Amy !"—lt can't be said, " he
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
young lady, who in her " deep despair," introduces her Lovely
Bobby, to whom she sings the following patlict:c sa :
" Come my bobby; 'come along with me
We'll go to far-famed Kenilworth,
Your naughty dad to see."
And so they do.

KENILWORTH CASTLE
As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visit.
For further particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori-
cal fact that Good Queen Bess paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and
" paid the piper." Thi4, 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-c of true love The Earl fore

on a grand scale, a sort of " tiff for the million," takes place, which,
although beginning SHE SPA_ love, ends in war, and the total destruction of
