CHRIST ILA.S COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR,
Rat although he comes in snow, he still hopes to meet with a warm
? Why, to pay ins yearly visit to
reception—but where is he going
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. Andersen's
Jay Joe, John," and " I am Rich," that's more than every one can
say ; we wish they eould—How to make a Pantomime ?—" that is
the question"—but the answer, it is hoped, will be satisfactory—
Poor Tra-ge-dy meets with no clemency, se we fly by night" to
A SPLENDID MALL IN TILE PALACE OF GOOD
QUEEN BESS.

We now come to Hist;rical Facts, therefore, as tke Clown at
Astlees would say, " Let us be serious." It is an historical fact,
that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Geed Queen Bess,
therefore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi-
racy—Sir Walter Raleigh fears his pipe will be put out—Bacon gets
quite in a frizzle, and Lord Burleigh shakes his head—but there's
nothin in that, whatever they may say to the contrary.
It is an historical Pebt, that Good Queen Bess was assisted at her
toilet by many of her noblemen, therefore the
GRIND PROCESSION OF THE TOILETTE

is introduced, in which the Royal Wig ! the Royal Riff ! ! the
loyal Blushes ! ! ! and the Royal Petticoat !! ! will make their
first appearance on any stage, and trust to the " usual litdulgence of
a British Public." These are followed by
GOOD QUEEN BESS

em deshabille, as she is represe,ited in a picture at Hampton Court,
—What comes next will certainly follow—and then will be seen
GOOD QITEEX RESB

In all her royal splendour.—lt Is an Historical Fact, that Good
Queen Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers so many that she
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 Alenqon, Marquis of Wiachester, the King of Sweden,
Beury of Navarre, Archduke Charles, Earl of Arundel, Sir William
Pickering, Charles Blonnt, and the Earl of Arran. Good Queen
Bess appoints a meeting of these " wonderous 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
CUMNOR HALL BY MOONLIGHT—WiIson.

" Coming events cast their shadows before "—" Rest thee,
my darling "—Ketchy, ketchy, ket,:hy—" Put out the light,
and then "—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to Kenil-
werth—Ho stops at Love's half-way house, the Robsar Arms—" Oh,
Stamina," or rather " Ob, Amy r —lt can't be said, " he makes no
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
Debby, to whom she sings the following pathetic stanza :
" Como my habby, conic along with me
We'll go to far-famed Kenilworth,
Your naughty dad to see."
And so they do.
