CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR,
Bat although he comes in snow, he still hopes to meet with a warm
reception—but where is he going? Why, to pay his 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. Andersen's
my Joe, John," and " I am Rich," that's mere than every one can
say ;we wish they could—How to make a Pantomime ?—"

A SPLENDID HALUEEN BESS L IN THE PALACE OF GOOD
Q.
We now come to Historical Facts, therefore, as the Clown at
tstley's would say, " Let us be serious." • It is an historical fact,
that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended to, Good 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
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 TUE TOILETTE
is introduced, in which the Royal Wig ! the Royal Ruff ! ! the
Royal Blushes ! ! and the Royal Petticoat !! ! ! will make their
first appearance on any stage, and trust to the " usual indulgence of
a British Public." These are followed by
GOOD QUEEN LESS

—What comes next will certainly ow—an

GOOD QUEEN BESS
n all her royal splendour.--It is an Historical Fact, that Good
2ueen Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers so many that she
icarcelY knew upon which to decide"—and it is an Historical Fact
that the following we -e a few of them.
TUE REJECTED ONES :
Philip of Spain, Prince Rupert, Prince of Sweden, Duke of Anjoa,
Prince Alencon, Marquis of Winchester, the King of Sweden,
ffenry of Navarre, Archduke Charles, Earl of Arundel, Sir William
Pickering, Charles Blount, and the Earl of Arran. Good Queen
Bess appoints a meeting of these " womierons 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 ou to

"being gone, Amy is herself again "—that is to sac, a rather jealous
young lady, who in her " deep despair," introduces her Lovely
Babby, to whom she sings the following rattictie stanza :
" Come my cabby, come along with me
We'll go to far-famed Kenilworth,
Tour naughty dad to see."
And so they do.

KENILWORTH CASTLE

For farther 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." This, his gorgeous fete, half ruined him ; there-
erewe pity his fate, but must admire his wondrous generosity, for
a Uhe ever hoped for in return was—half-a-crown. The Earl fore-
stalls Shakspere, by discovering " that the course of true leve never
did run smooth," for here he meets with some twenty " competi-
tears," and to him they do come " petit ours," for they prove per-
fect bears, or, more properly speaking, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel
on a grand scale, a sort of " tiff for the million," takes place, wWil,
although beginning in love, ends in war, and the total destruction of
