Stage Manager, Mr. T. Thompson.

On THURSDAY, Decemi'or 26, 1850,
Will be produced an entirely new and original grand historical
Equestrian Christmas Pantomime, written expressly for this Theatre,
by the author of " Bluff King Hal," to be entitled
HARLEQUIN AND O'DOISOGHUE ;
or, The White Horse of Killarney.
To say that this Equestrian Pantomime will be superbly
" mounted," is to say no more than must be expected ; coming, as
it does, surrounded with such favourable auspices.
It has been said by some authors, that O'Donoghue (but I don't
know who) was a good Prince of Irelaad; who, eschewing whiskey,
Was always chewing water, and kicking his eels (heels) at the bot-
tom of the Lake of Killarney, excepting once a year when, finding
himself taken with a swimming in the head, he would pop up to the
surface, and mounting his charger, would charge her to gallop across
the Lake. Many expected that so much galloping would have
thrown him into a galloping consumption ; but such has not proved
the case, for some assert that not only he, but his Horse too, is "still
alive and kicking." This hard galloping, or Galloparding, always
occurred on the Eve of May-Day. The description of him is that he
was tall—but not at all too tall—that he was handsome, and would
hand some whatever they desired—that his appearance was even in
the light of Day—that of an Electro••plated Knight; for lie was
covered all over with a thin Coat of Si:ver—this Coat he could
never wear out, because he was always at home. Bet now to the I
Pantomime:

SCENE TIIE FIRST.
TIIE GLEN OF MISCHIEF.

The Hag of Mischief, over a Peat Fire, is still trying to elicit from
an Illicit Still the Evil Spirit of Ireland, in the form of WHISKEY :
who, though still in the Still, won't be still, but " busts his biler,c
and stands confessed the REAL POTEEN !
This powerful Spirit Is sent by the Hag of Mischief, under the
disguise of Paddy Carey, to tempt and ruin the followers of " Father
Mathew" and the " Water Cure," whom, she says, are the especial
favourites of the " Water Drinking Fool," O'Donoghue. Whiskey
swears he'll de her bidding, for he'll fire them with drink, by
Making them as drunk as blazes.' Mischief parts from Whiskey
with " a drop in her eye," but Whiskey is not so affected ; for he is
sure that where Whiskey is, Mischief won't be far off.
SCENE TA) SECOND.
THE LAKE OF KILLARNEY.
The entrance to the Mansion of Lord Bullfrog is on one side, on
the other a little inn. It being in Ireland, the sign was to have
been " a Bull," but " bulls" not being In fashion at present, it has
been changed to the " Queen's Head." It being May-Day Eve, the
Fairies of the Lake are seen dancing and strewing flowers on the
water, as if sweetly M'Adannizing the road, preparatory to the ap-
pearance of
