THE PORT or RutcCoßN.—The Lords Commis.
sionera of her Majesty's Treasury having been pleased,
by their order of the 28th ult., to direct that Runcorn,
which hrs been constituted an independent port, as an
experimental measure for three years, by their Lord-
ships' order of the 21st December, 1846, is to bo p'aced
on its former footing as a creek within the port of Liver-
pool—the Board of Customs have directed that the mea-
sure is to take effect from and efter the sth day of April
proximo.

So many years have elapsed since the production
of Mr. Douglas Jerrold's drama The Mother at the
Haymarket, that its revival at this theatre last evening
under the title of The Mother's Dream, or a Gyp-
sy's Prophecy, may well be considered as the
production of a new piece ; and we may observe
en passant that as The Mother's Dream has now
taken its place among the most popular pieces of the
Adelphi repertoire—la its success of last evening Ives
such as at once to assure for it that position —it
would be well that the A'lelphi dramatists
should endeavour to follow the example of
Mr. Douglas Jerrold in the construction of their
pieces, arid instead of weakening the interest by taking
three acts, and four hours to dt vel )pe a perhaps s
what meagre plot, should condense their dramas,
so as never to let them act more than
three hours. The Mother's Dream is in two acts,
and to artistically is it constructed that the in-
terest never flags, but goes on increaSing in intensity
up to the climax, at which point the piece concludes.
'Fne plot is very simple. Captain Davenant (Mr.
Boyce) has married a French girl, Eulalie
(Madame Celeite) whom he leaves enciente,
as be is about to sail on an expedition. A false
rumour is spread that Davenant is killed, and Eulalie
on hearing it goes mad, and while in that condition
her child is born. Some gipsies who have a feud
against Davenant's father, steal this child, and Eulalie,
on recovering her senses, is told by her attend-
ants that the child is dead. Davenant returns ;
and on the day of his return, a gipsey
child offers him and Eulalie some flowers.
Struck with the beauty of the child, Davenant takes it
into his house, and a gipsey then approaches Eulalie
and insinuates to her that the child is the child of
Davenant, who had seduced its gipsey mother. The
jealousy of Eulalie brings on a paroxysm of madness,
which ends in somnambulism. In this state she
has a dream of her lost child, and wanders, still

dreaming to the gipsey encampment, where she hears
from the lips of a dying gipsey chief (Mr. H. Hughes)
that the child which had so attracted her husband's
attention is her own child, which had been stolen.
The acting of Madame Celeste as Eulalie was one of the
most, affecting pieces of quiet pathos that even she
has ever exhibited—every look, every gesture
was full of meaning. The dying gipsey of
H. Hughes was also a fine piece of acting,
full of feeling and of power. 0. Smith
was the villain of the piece, and was as usual the
Prince of Villains; and Wright as a cowardly gipsey
who gets wounded in his favourite leg, the leg he was
proud of, who is always smelling hemp, and
has his own ideas as to his possession of
personal courage, was irresistibly ludicrous.
The " great Paul" too was in the cast, not as usual
in juxtaposition with Wright, but in the character of
" Compass," a retired Jack Tar, of whom he made a
sort of gigantic T. P. Cooke, without a horn-
pipe. The ntise en scene was perfect, and the
piece was announced for repetition amidst those
shouts of applause which always attend a regular
Adelphi success. Madame Celeste was called on at
the conclusion. The theatre was crowded to suffoca-
tion in every part.
