QUEEN'S THEATRE.

Wat Tyler, or Harlequin and the Lord Mayor of
London, is the title of the pantomime at this theatre,
the scenery of which is very magnificent. The great
novelty of this pantomime is the introduction of two
harlequins, two columbines, two pantaloons, and two
clowns. It is, in fact, a double pantomime, but whe-
ther on that account it will meet with a double por-
tion of success, time alone can decide.

UNION-HALL.

Ann Davis, 'a respectable-looking married woman was
brought up charged with stealing fifteen yardsof Orleans
cloth from a linendraper's shop in the Westminster-road.
It appeared that on Tuesday morning information was
given at the shop of Mr. ttoutledge, linendraper, of
the Westminster-road, that a female was observed to
take a piece of Orleans cloth and walk away with it.
The shopman immediately went down Mason-street and
came up with the prisoner walking hastily away, and
having stopped her, and charged her with shop-
lifting, ,he dcnied it, and at the same time ex-

pressed her determination to give him into custody if
he persisted in making such an accusation against
respectable married woman. The shopman, however,
not intimidated by such a threat, forthwith called a
policeman, and gave her in charge. When she was
taken back to the shop she dropped a piece of Orleans
cloth, containing fifteen yards, and in her defence before
the magistrate, she declared she had ricked up the
article in the street as she was walking along. Her
friends, she added, were not aware of her present situa-
tion.—She was remanded until Saturday.
John Burgess, a well dressed young fellow, was
charged with attempting to enter the house of a Mr.
Boughton, in China -walk, Lambeth.
On the precediMg night the complainant's family
being absent from home, while the servant was sitting
in the parlour she heard a man at the street door. She
opened it, and discerned the prisoner in the act of get-
ting into the house, the street door of which he opensd
with a skeleton key, which was found in the lock.
There was another man with him, and they both ran
away, but the servant called " Stop thief," and the pri-
soner was secured.

The prisoner, who made a frivolous excuse, was corn
mitred for a month.

• CLERKEA WELL.
A sickly-looking man, named Day, was charged with
to sing halfpence.
Police-constable Pascal, N 141, proved the offence.
The prisoner had 3s. 6d. on him. It was yes-
terday evening. The prisoner acknowledged at the sta-
tion-house that he had been tossing during the greater
part ofthe day, and won 3s. 6d by it. The inhabitants
complained of the tossing as a nuisance. The place in
which he was tossing is a thoroughfare.
The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said
he worked for a brickmaker, and named the employers
with whom he worked last week.

Mr. COMBE—Has he been in custody before ?
Sergeant Allen was not aware that he had.
The prisoner said he had never been locked up before.
Mr. Comm sentenced him to pay a fine of 10s., or ten
days' imprisonment.
He was locked up, not having the money.

CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.

A crowded audience assembled here last evening,
to assist, as the French would say, at the production
of the new Christmas pantomime, which is entitled
The Fairy Gnomes of the Golden Caves, or Harlequin
and the Imp of the Giant Mountain, and in the intro-
ductory scenes which we were glad to regognise our
old friend Number Nip, who is to the full as
" spry and active," as Jonathan would say, as
he was some fifteen years ago, at Govent-garden.
This is a pantomime of the old school, full of prac-
tical fun, such as can be understood by children, and
the youngsters seemed thoroughly to enjoy it. Har-
lequin, Columbine, Pantaloon, and Clown, are hard at
work from the rising to the falling of the curtain, and
knock-down blows and astonishing leaps are the order
of the day. The piece, however, is not deficient in
witty allusions to passing events, almost every
" notability," from Peel and O'Connell down to
Gibbs and the Polka, comes in for a hit. The scenery
is very pretty, and the pantomime was completely
successful. It was preceded by the play of Pizarro,
during the representation of which an unfortunate
incident occurred, which at first, it was anticipated,
might prove serious. Rolla (Mr. F. Phillips), with
the child, were passing the bridge in the last act,
when the structure gave way, and they were both
violently precipitated to the grc.und. Rolla, however,
appeared before the curtain with the child, and
assured the audience that not the slightest injury had
been received by either.

STRAND THEATRE.

Happy Christmas ! Well is it that one short week
in the weary fifty-two is devoted to happiness, or the
o'ertasked workman's life would be indeed one con-
tinued misery. Ere these practical days had cast
their shadow over our country, poets had feigned that
years of love, hours of unvaried sunshine, brightened
our horizon, and that all the multitudinous figures
so copiously interspersed in the works of our own
earlier writers, had " each a local habitation and a
name." Is it so now ? We fear not, excepting at
Christmas time ! The above theatre has produced the
Feast of Lanthorns, solely, we suppose, for the pur-
pose of introducing the scenes by Philips--scenes
which at once evince living nature, the artist, and
the scholar. We cannot too much praise them, for they
are emphatically real, and an evening spent for the mere
purpose of analysing them, s ould be wasted to no good
purpose. The Knight and the Sprite furnished an
interesting close, and, if we might judge from the
self. satisfied countenances of the audience, they highly
I approved of Mr. Roberts's catering for Christmas.
London, England, 1844-12-27

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

The twenty-fourth presentation of Balfe's Castle of
Aymon was as well received at this favourite theatre
last evening as if it were produced for the first time,
and as the new piece after Christmas. But, however,
the " immense attraction for the holidays" was de-
scribed in the bills as a " New Grand Romantic, and
rather Operatic Burlesque Extravaganza, in two acts,
taken from the old melodrama, and called Joe Miller
and his Men." The piece is further said to be written in
measure to fit the company, by Gilbert A. a'Beckett,
Esq., and the scenery, which no poet could paint in
words, has been done in colours by Messrs. Beverley,
Nichols, Aglio, &c. When we add, that the artistes
have tried to cut each other out in cutting out the
dresses, and that the machinery has been
cleverly contrived to raise expectation very
high, we have given a pretty fair account
of this commodity, which has been produced upon a
scale that must have its due weight. The dances,
which employed extra hands, and additional feet,
exercised the former rather more than the latter, and
created as much laughter as the burlesques on " Joe
Miller" with which the dialogue abounded. The de-
sign of the extravaganza, as it is very aptly termed, is
to hold up to ridicule and reproach the neglect of
the modern English drama; and, whilst the witty
author spares not the devotees of foreign art, he is even
more severe upon those who have been making some-
whf.t questionable attempts to adapt, as it has been
presumptuously pretended, the old English drama to
modern times, by the destruction of its character. In
the introductory scene, which represents the Celestial
Court of Bankruptcy, at its evening sitting in the
clouds, Mercury (Miss Somers), as messenger of
the Court, announces to Apollo (Mr. A. Harris), the
Chief Commissioner of the Court, that Thalia and
Melpomene are bankrupt. The Commissioner ex-
presses his distress at the intelligence, and having
learned from the messenger all the shifts to which the
unlucky muses have been put of late to support their
tottering credit, he suggests that as a last effort they
should try what could be done by adopting to modern
taste and manners " the ancient melodrama." The
famous Miller and his Men is chosen for the first ex-
periment, and a merry and successful one it has
proved. The audience was kept in a roar of laughter
from the commencement, and much of the acting,
burlesque though it was, merited and received very
great applause. Oxberry, as a melo-dramatic hero,
and Mr. Fitzjames as the "impersonation of Young
Bohemia," were first-rate.

Pantaloon (Mr. Sanders), endeavoured to realise these
o the utmost. The scenes were well painted. The
Allusions, political and anti-political, were well timed,
and many of them told well with the audience. The
•nanagement deserves great credit for the care with
which the pantomime was produced ; and the over-
dowing house will, we trust, be a preliminary evi-
dence of success for many weeks to come.

inches, and the ear completely divided. On the right
side of the head was a wound six inches and a half in
length.
Other evidence was gone into, from which it appeared
that some of the prisoners assaulted Al ith considerable
violence two or three constables, one of whom was bitten
severely in the hand by Peston.
Two razors were produced by the officers, both of
which were picked up close to the spot where the man
Therman was attacked ; one of them was covered with
blood.

Therman said, he was quite positive that he must have
been wounded either by Ascencion or Garcia.

The surgeon, in reply to a question from Mr. Lox°,
said, that from th• nature of the wounds, sloughing
might take place, and fatal consequences might probably
ensue ; in fact, it was scarcely safe for the sufferer to
have quitted his home to give evidence in tke case.
The apron which Therman wore when the murderous
attack was made upon him was exhibited to the magis-
trate ; it was completely saturated with blood. There
was also a quantity of blood upon the prisoner Ascen-
sion's shirt when he was taken in charge.
The prisoners, through an interpreter, who had ex-
plained to them the whole of the evidence, denied the
truth of all that had been alleged against them.
Santa and Peston were each committed to the House
of Correction for a month, for assaulting the constables ;
and Ascencion and Garcia were remanded till Thursday
next.

SURREY THEATRE.

On " boxing night" one usually visits the theatre
for the purpose of witnessing the scenery, the gro-
tesque figures, the allusions to the events of the times,
and the antics which have remained to us from a
simple antiquity in the displays of Harlequin and
Columbine and Clown—one usually expeets to see
such things on this long-looked for night—but at the
Surrey, besides an excellent pantomime, which has
been got up with great skill and effect, there was an
original performance, called The Seven Ages of
Man, or the End of Crime. This piece has one con-
siderable merit, that it has a moral object, which, if
the piece does not exhibit very well, it at least illustrates
it very clearly. It shows how a person badly brought
up becomes a prey to his own uncurbed passions, how he
readily falls into the vices or crimes of society, till he
at last terminates his career by the gallows, transpor-
tation, or his own hand. Such a character is John
Heartless, who has been, successively, seducer,
gambler, deserter from the army, and robber ; he
has, in fact, run round the whole circle of crimes,
from youthful drunkenness to murder in old age, when
the scene drops upon him, and we would hazard no
dangerous conjecture in saying that an Old Bailey
jury found him guilty, and that there was no chance
for a reprieve. We have allowed this piece its best
merit in saying it has the moral object of deterring
people from the commission of crime. The drama is
stated to be founded on Shakspere's Seven Ages.
Poor Shakspere ! We can more readily ap-
plaud the comic pantomime called Pounds,
Shillings, and Pence, or X. S. D, It has been
got up and written by Mr. Nelson Lee, and the

copper scenery was done by Mr. Brown, and was
very well executed. harlequin (Mr. W. H. Harvey),
Clown (Mr. T. Ridgway), Columbine (Miss Slater),
and Pantaloon (Mr. 11. Corri), were acted in a manner
reflecting great credit on the performers of those
parts. Throughout the piece there were some very
happy allusions, principally of a local character,
which were duly appreciated by the audience,
and caused great delight. In a scene repre-
senting the Surrey Zoological Gardens, Herr
Von Joel appeared, and gave some of his sur-
prising imitations of birds and beasts, which were
received with great gusto and applause. On the
whole, the pantomime was very good and successful,
and we shall be surprised if X. S. D. does not turn
out very prolific, and reproduce its own name abun-
dantly. The house, on the present occasion, was
crowded to overflowing.

MAI?YLEBONE.

Yesterday this Court was much crowded from an early
hour, in consequence of a report that a number of Spa-
niards had murdered a man, and that they would be
brought up for exam:.iation before the sitting magistrate,
Mr. Long, upon the charge.
The rumour with regard to the murder turned out to
be untrue, but, as will be seen from the subjoined evi-
dence, the sufferer, who has been severely wounded on
the head by cuts from one or more razors, cannot,
although he attended to make his statement, be con-
sidered free from danger. His name is William Tiler-
man, and he is a shoemaker, residing at No, 11, Hamp-
ton-court, f)ssulston-street, Somers- town. His head was
covered with barOages.
The names of the pe!sonera were Manuel Santa, Vin-
cent Peyton, Philip Ascencion, and Dias Garcia.
Mr. John Vials, landlord of the Vjetoria public=bouse,
Charlton street, Somers-town. deposed, thit on the hear
vious night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, i!s pri-
soners entered his premises and called for drink. They
were accompanied by ten or twelve others ; and as all
of them were much intoxicated he refused to serve them,
They then abused him ; and Santa struck at him with
stick, in addition to which ho threw at him a number
of quart and pint pots, some of which hit him. Another
of the party also attempted to injure him with a
bludgeon.
William Therman, the poor man who was wounded,
deposed that, as he was passing through Charlton-street
he heard a great disturbance, and saw nearly a dozen
Spaniards, amongst whom were the prisoners, armed
with large sticks and bludgeons. He seized hold of one
of the sticks, which was in the possession of a man not
in custody, when he was immediately knocked down, by
two tremendous blows, and while lying upon the ground,
Ascencion and Garcia being on the top of him, he re,
ceived several severe wounds from a sharp instrument
upon the head and ear, and the collar of his coat was cut
completely through. He also received many very se-
vere kicks upon his body.
Mr. Parker, surgeon, Phoenix- street, Somers-town,
stated, that he had examined the man Therman, and
found on the left side of the head yr:mud upwards of
five inches long. The skull was laid bare about thole

-la WALLACE presented a petition, signed by a
number of noblemen, gentlemen, magistrates, and other
influential persons in the counties of Lanark, Renfrew,
and Ayr, complaining of the evils attendant upon the
present laws for the preservation of game. They stated
that those laws tended to induce persons to be out at
night with fire-arms for the purpose of killing game,
and thus led them into the commission of offences
of which they would not, under other circumstances, be
guilty. The Hon. Gentleman moved that the petition
be printed with the Votes of the House, and said that on
an early day he should bring this matter more fully
before the House.

Mr. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from Ludlow
(as we understood), praying that as an immunity had
been granted to certain noblemen and gentlemen for past

same course should be adopted towards those Dissenters
who were now being.stied for church-rates.

LAW AND POLICE.

At the Excise Court Messrs. Child, the eminent distillers,
were charged on an information with having an excess of
spirits in their stock, over the proper quantity. It appeared
that the increase arose from the negligence of the persons
employed, and the mitigated fine of 251. only was inflicted ;
the spirits were condemned.
A young man, named James Baijent Tyler, a clerk in the
employ of Matthew, Brothers, and Borer, brush-manufac-
turers, in Upper Thames-street, was charged at the Guild-
hall with having embezzled moneys received on their account

which he had never accounted for, or covered them by false
entries in the ledger. He was remanded till the 9th of March.
The whole corps dramatique of a penny theatre at King's-
cross, together with eighty-three persons, constituting the

sums of from 2/. to 205., and the audience were brought up
in batches and discharged.
Mr. John Grover, a surveyor, who has for many years kept
a large establishment in Belgrave-place, Pimlico, underwent

He was remanded.

George William Bassett was charged, at Union-Hall with
being concerned, with others, in breaking into the premises of
Mr. Lindsey, keeper of the Lewisham Post-office, and steal-
ing bank notes, silver, gold, and a quantity of plate, amount-
ing in value to about 3001. The letter-bag, which had been
dropped the previous evening by the Hastings mail, had
been broken open, and the letters it contained opened and
their contents torn in fragments and strewed on the floor by the
thieves. The prisoner had given himself up to the police,
and had stated that he was not concerned in the robbery,

manded in order to give evidence against the other parties.
