HAYM.A.RKET THEATRE. *:
The Milliner's Holiday is the title of a most laugh-
able farce which was produced at this theatre on Satur-
day, with unequivocal success. It is by the anthc'r of
the Double-bedded Room, and is full of fun. Incidents,
situations, dialogue, all are overflowing with humour, and
from beginning to end the audience were in a roar.
Fanny Thompson (Miss Julia Bennett), a ci-decant inil
liner s apprentice, has won the heart of Lieutenant Bow-
ling, R.N. (Mr. H. Holl), who has placed her under the
guardianship of old Pennywig (Strickland), in a cottage
;short distance from town, with strict orders that she is
to hold no communication with her former companions.
One of these, Kitty Caraway, has been deserted by her
lover, Simon Sparks (Buckstone), to whom, at Fanny's
intercession, Pennywig writes a letter desiring him to
meet a lady at the cottage. Sparks, not aware of the interest
Fanny takes in Kitty's happiness, has the vanity to
imagine that Fanny is in love with him herself, and ac-
cordingly goes to the cottage full of self-conceit ; he is
met by the Lieutenant, who, full of wrath, threatena to
murder the intruder, and to increase the embroglio the
whole of the milliner's apprentices, who are out for a
holiday, arrive, and, being refused admittance, break
into the cottage vi et armis. At the conclusion matters
were all explained, and the Lieutenant and Fanny, and
Sparks and Kitty respectively pair off. The piece was
announced for repetition every evening, by Buckstone,
amidst much applause. The farce was preceded by the
prize comedy, Quid pro Quo, which still continues
to run a career of uninterrupted success. The comedy
has been judiciously curtailled ; the events whieli bring
about the denouement are brought more closely together,
so as to make it as a whole more compact, and it is now
an exceedingly pleasant, lively, bustling acting comedy,
and bids fair to run a very successful career. The house
was crowded.

FE 1 E CHAMI-ETRE.
A fate champetre and fancy fair was held on Saturday
in Col. Miles's Grounds, Regent's-park, in aid of the funds
of the Royal Dispensary fur the Diseases of the Ear. The
.da.y was lovely, just the sort of day for for an out-door ate,
ari'd- the grounds were crowded with the elite of the
fashionable world. Tents and marquees were pitched in
the grounds, and fitted up with counters, behind which
stood the fair stall-keepers, who for bouquets of choice
flowers, portfolios of prints, pincushions, worsted work,
&c., &c., obtained prices which could not but have been
highly profitable to the institution. The portico in front
of the house was elegantly fitted up as an orchestra, in
which a concert was performed. The following is the
programme of the concert, which was conducted by M.
Benedict, and commenced at two o'clock :
