ADELPHI.

At this theatre, the more than celebrated, the re-
nowned " Wizard-of the North," appeared last evening,
" re-ascending his mystic throne," to astonish and amuse
the public a fourth London season. 'An entertainment
that has commanded so continued a popularity must
have great intrinsic Merit, and we were glad to see that
a crowded attendanCe last night bore testimony to the
great skill of the "modern Faustus," for to fill a theatre
may, in these days, be almost accounted a supernatural
feat. In this the Wizard succeeded to his desire, and
the applause that attended his deeds—it were un-
seemly familiarity to call them mere tricks—gave
good promise that their attractive power will
endure. His apparatus is most magnificent, and
arranged with an eye to effect; while he, the won-
der-worker himself, waves his wand with the air of a
perfect master of arts—we say not of what colour. But,
as variety is pleasing to a holiday-making public, the
Wizard, though in himself a host, does not trust entirely
to his own efforts. Like Prospero in his island, he calls
in music to aid his magic, and relieves the eyes of the
' assembly, which vainly attempt to follow his sleights,
by furnishing gratification to their ears. After the first
hour of the evening has been rendered pleasingly
brief by his necromancy, the Wizard retires, and Mr.
Malone Raymond, favourably known as a successful
representative of Irish characters, commences an
entertainment called An Hour in Ireland ; it con-
sists of tales, stories, and jokes—some new, but
many of venerable antiquity—mingled with snatches
of song, comic and sentimental, liberal use being
made of the melodies' of Moore. He is as-
sisted by Mrs. Raymond and MiSs Linley, and the trio,
during their " hour upon the stage," gave some favou-
rite airs, harmonised for three,voices, in a very effective
manner. Mr. Raymond was himself encored in the
" Groves of Blarney." Altogether the " Hour in Ire-
land," threw a pleasing variety over the evening, which
concluded with the second part of the Wizard's per-
forniances in the " Mystic Temple." Of his separate
feats of dexterity we do not speak ; there are some

things beyond the powers of description, and these, as
the poet says, " are of them." But for a combination
of cleverness, neatness, brilliancy, and effect, to say
nothing of the total absence of anything.painful or ob-
jectionable, they cannot be surpassed.

S7RAND THEATRE.

This snug little theatre was opened for the summer
season last evening, when, among other sources of at-
traction provided for the audience, they were gratified
by the first appearance of a juvenile actress (according
to the bills only eight years o!d), Miss Heron, from the
Theatre Royal, Dublin, who made her bow to a London
audience in the character of Terry O'Rourke, alias Dr.
O'Toole, in the Irish Tutor. While the memory of poor
Power is still fresh upon us, it is no trifling matter for
another to please in any one of those characters which
he made so peculiarly his own ; and in none was he
more laughter-exciting than that of Dr. O'Toole. It
must, therefore, be no slight merit that drew down such
repeated plaudits as greeted the young aspirant to fam
from all parts of the house. In fact, she made a decided
hit. Her acting was marked by extraordinary tact,
cleverness, and just perception of the pzrt she had to play;
and if there was any one matter in which correction
might be suggested, it was in her taking too much pains
to mark the brogue. This, perhaps, she thought re-
quisite to suit an English audience. The manner in
which she danced an Irish jig was admirable, and drew
forth an encore. The entertainments concluded with a
mythological burletta, entitled Venus and Mari; or, the
Golden Net, founded on the not very delicate subject
of the loves of those deities. It is a very dull piece, with
moderately good scenery, and was little more than re-
deemed from failure by the clever acting and singing
of Miss Louisa Lyons as Mars, and Miss Fitzjames as
Venus. The dialogue Was totally devoid of point, and
the sentiments were anything but delicate. It did not
deserve to succeed.

SADLER'S WELLS.

The performances of yesterday evening at this theatre
were of a somewhat novel character, inasmuch as an ex-
hibition of wrestling, of single-stick, and of sparring
with the gloves, was included in the bill of fare. The
quality of the materiel seemed, however, too recherché
for the tastes of the worthy public of St. John's, and a
very poor house was the necessary consequence. The
first piece of the evening was a drama of Mr. PlanchCfs,
entitled Ivan Dandoil; or the Sledge Drirer, founded, we
believe, on an incident in the reign of the madly ca-
pricious Paul of Russia. The principal personages are
the redoubted Ivan himself, and Catherine, the heroine,
to whom he is ultimately married, personated by Mr.
H. Marston and Miss Caroline Rankley, with their ac-
customed excellence, and happy appreciation of charac-
ter. This was succeeded by the amusing farce of
liaising the Wind, in which Mr. Marston enacted Jeremy
Diddler. Then followed (we copy from the play-bill)
" for the first tune in London (pray Heaven it be the
last), a new bat, called Finsbury Fields, or Good Old
English Games." The games we have already mentioned.
and the artistes were, in the wrestling, Dyer and Snell,
Truscott and Kemp (the latter a Guardsman, noted at
Chalk Farm. Stacey and Davis exhibited their skill in
a bout at single-stick ; and Mason, alias the Bull-dog,
and Johnny Walker ; Bill Jones and Tom Maley, asto-
nished the lieges with the gloves, which amusements
may bo useful in propagating a taste for manly and
honest modes of self-defence; but surely the stage of a
theatre is not the fitting place, and delicate females not
exactly the proper individuals to witness them.
The evening concluded with a revival of the comic pan-
tomime of Baron Munchausen, or the, Genii of the En-
chanted Isle. The tricks and situations, if not entirely
cri",inal, were certainly striking and croted much fun

ROYAL ADELAIDE GALLERY.

The proofs of a continued course of good management
in a public institution were never more pthminently ex-
hibited than they were last evening, in the variety of
entertainments produced,' and the crowds which assem-
bled to witness them. • To speak first of the portion of
the entertainments wh;ch many would consider merely
popular, we mast say that the " Gallery of Practical.
Science" has fully attained its object, in making the
greatest works of the greatest authors in Musical
Science not only popular, but appreciated. That mag-
nificent piece, " The Massacre cf St. Bartholomew"
(perhaps the chef-d'oeuvre of the master), from
Meyerbeer's " Les Hugenots," was executed in a
style so masterly, so complete, and so exact,
that it left us in doubt whether the maestro

or the orchestra deserved the greatest part
of the applause, which was rapturously bestowed by an
audience, in our judgment, fully competent to judge.
M. Laurent, the conductor, deserves great praise. To
turn from the musical department to that which the
dryest of philosophers will admit to be a fit subject for
his study, we may state that the Electrical Eels have in-
creased enormously in size and health, and in the vigour
of their shock. The lectures of Professor Maugham
were worthy of his reputation as a simple, clear, and
eloquent professor. The principal novelty was
" Bielfield's Aphanascope," an invention from which im-
portant results in the science of optics are expectgd. The
experiments of last evening were in the highest degree
satisfactory ; but the subject will require a separate
notice.

THE THEATRES.
DRUI?Y-LANE.

M. Dupree has atAined an additional con ye of a week
from the Academie Royale de Musique, and, conse-
quently, during the Easter week he will continue
Drury-lane. He appearel last night as Arnold in
Guillaume Tell, and will appear on Wednesthy and
Friday. Stretton, who was the Tell, was suffering so
severely from lameness, the consequence of an accident,
that, before thecommencement of the opera, Cooper came
forward, and bespoke the consideration of the audience
on his behalf. The accident, however, as Mr. Cooper
most truly slated, had " not affected Mr. Stretton's.vccal
powers," for we never heard him in better voice. The
old drama of the Tale of Allystcry, which was very well
acted, followed the opera. The management judging,
and judging rightly, that the attraction of Duprez would
be sufficient to till the house, without the addition of the
usual Easter spectacle, the house was crowded.

ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.

Having recently described the alterations which have
taken place in the interior of the building, it is quite
needless to make any allusion to them at present, espe-
cially as the season of Easter is likely to make the public
acquainted with them by personal observation. The
grand attraction yesterday evening, and which is likely
to continue so for a considerable time, was a new grand
historical spectacle, in three parts and fourteen
tableaux, by Mr. J. Courtenay, entitled The In-
vasion of England by William the Conqueror,
or, the Batik of Hastings. A better subject for this
species of representation could not possibly have been
chosen, and the attempt was, we must say, eminently
successful. It is not necessary to say anything as to
the plot, further than that it it was so constructed as to
fill up all the gaps in the mental picture of the Norman
invasion. Nothing was wanting to complete the effect,
from the time when William assembled his troops and
embarked in the enterprise, up to the time when, having
been successful, and established his rule by the slaughter
of Harold, he was at length crowned first Norman King.
Everything was pourtrayed in a manner which tended
to impress the leading features of the history
on the minds of the audience. With regard
to the scenery, the tableaux, and all the ar-
rangements of the piece, the utmost praise would
fail to convey an accurate or adequate idea of the re-
ality; and the audience applauded the wonderful tableaux
successively presented with the utmost heartiness of
manner. As we do not think it desirable to enter into
the plot, it is, perhaps, best not to make any lengthened
remarks on the performance of the actors in the stirring
scenes. William, Duke of Normandy, was •ery ably
sustained by Mr. Henry Howard, the Saxon King by
• Mr. J. Danville, whilst Algitha, the wife of Harold,
was personated by Mrs. Short. Great amusement was
caused by the acting of Mr. Hudspeth, as Magnus,
in which character he joins the invading
force, ane, accompanied by a young lady who shares his
adventures, lands with the Norman troops. His per-
formance elicited roars of laughter. The character of
Sweeno, a Saxon, • surnamed Sweeno of the Flail, was
cleverly taken by Mr. T. Barry. The Norman Conquest
was succeeded by Monsieur Plege's evolutions on the
tight rope ; and greater dexterity could not possibly be
exhibited than was displayed, on this occasion, by this
clever performer. Signor Germani, Monsieur Ziesback,
and Monsieur Massotta, successively astonished the
audience by their wonderful feats of equestrianism ; and
these were followed by a ,very pleasing and elegant per-
formance of the same description, by Monsieur Tour-
naire and Mdlle. Annette. A farce called My Next
Door IVeighbour, wound up the amusements of the even-
ing, which throughout appeared to afford the greatest
satisfaction to a numerous and highly respectable,
company.

HAMBURGH MAIL.

FRANKFORT, MARCH 30.—A German Sovereign,
who hitherto bore the Ducal title, intends, it is said,
to assume that of Grand Duke. Negotiations on
this subject were, it seems, opened- some months ago
with some German Courts, which were the more dis-
posed to recognise the new title, as States took an
interest in it which do not belong to the German
Confederaticn, to which the right of deciding apper-
tains. The revenues of the Sovereign in question
are, besides, more considerable than those of some
Princes of the Confederation who now bear the title
of Grand Duke; and the extent and population of his
territories, likewise, exceed those of some Grand
Duchies. It can, therefore, be hardly doubted, that
the proposed new title will be approved of.
The object of Prince Albert's visit to Gotha is
sup-
posed to be the regulation of family matters, especially
the division of the private property left by his father,
the late Duke. It is well known that the deceased
was very economical, and since, as it is now affirmed,
that sums paid by Prussia for the lordship of St.
Wendel, on the left bank of the Rhine, which was
ceded into it, went into the private coffers of the
Duke, the amount of his property is stated at seve-
ral millions.

WARSAW, MARCH 23.—Foreign journals still re-
port that the Prince of Warsaw thinks of retiring
from his high office. I an, however, able to state,
on good authority, that he never had an idea of
quitting a post in which he has succeeded, by hu-
manity and strict justice, in gaining the esteem and
gratitude of all parties. The best-informed
persons know to a certainty that the Emperor
has never given even the slightest intimation of an
intention to recal the Prince, who justly enjoys his
entire confidence, and by his mild administration has
gained more than ever could have been effected by
rigour. The Field Marshal will not visit any foreign
watering-places this summer, but immediately after
Easter go, as he usually does every year, to St. Pe-
tersburgh, where he will make a considerable stay.
FRANKFORT, MAacH 30.—His Highness the Duke
of Nassau received, on Monday last, by an express,
the intelligence that his brother, Prince Adolphus,
would not be able to be at Wiesbaden, to be present
at the Pies, because, in a fit of just anger, he had shot
a nobleman in Hungary, who, during a hunting party,
in the Prince's presence, wantonly shot two of the
Prince's servants. The Duke was deeply affected by
this intelligence.
MUNICH, MARCH 25.—We are sick of the affairs
of Greece, and the Helleno-mania which was arti-
ficially produced is succeeded by a well-founded
disgust with everything Greek. Bavaria has for

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

Yesterday we visited the rooms of this interesting
establishment, and were glad to find that there is no
lack of energy on the part of the management. An in-
stitution like the Polytechnic differs from all others, in-
asmuch as its ulterior object is the dissemination of in-
struction, blended with that amusement which is an ex-
citement to the best moral feeling, and which induces a
train of thought and reasoning, the benefit to be derived
from which, probably will not be made very general un-
til this generation shall have passed away; however, from
this circumstance its range is greatly curtailed. We have
here this season another new instrument fur the optical
department arranged by Mr. Longbottom, which pro-
mises to be one of the most attractive exhibitions in the
metropolis, and is capable of being made a most useful
adjunct to the whole field of natural philosophy ;
investigations may be now made on objects
which, until the adaptation of this instrument,
have remained uninvestigated. It is called
the Physioscope, and we yesterday saw a human
face magnified by 12 feet, and the effect was most extra-
ordinary--the appearance being that of a moving giant

—and, when a round of applause had been given, the
monster bowed its head in acknowledgment, and the
audience was convulsed with laughter. There were also
several novelties introduced in Longbottom's Opaque
Microscope, and we observed several important additions
to the Scientific Museum, which will most advantageously
be noticed at another time. On Thursday Mr. C. E. Horn
will commence a series of lectures on the National Music
of Different Countries, to be illustrated by vocal and in-
strumental accompaniments. The Institution was crowded
in every part.

LATER FROM the UNITED STATES.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.
One of the most rapid passages ever made across
the Atlantic has just been completed by Captain Burs-
ley and his noble ship Hottinguer. The Hottinguer
left Sandy Hook on the 23d, and made the land in 13
days, when a calm came on and kept her some 36
hours in the Channel without making way. She
brings 2,400 bags of cotton.
When the Hottinguer left the city of New York,
the news by the steam-ship Caledonia had not arrived
at New York from Boston.
This arrival furnishes news from New York five
days later than received by the Montezuma; the
papers are, however, unusually barren of interest to
the European reader.
Commercial matters appear favourable ; in most de-
partments there was considerable activity. Our
New York correspondent states that "the spring has
come upon us suddenly. The North River, as well
as all other rivers in this vicinity, have broken up,
and the steamers are running in every direction.
Our list of arrivals shows a great increase. The hotels
are filled a month earlier than common. Our
merchants are quite actively engaged. The supply
of goods is large, and the assortment good. The
transportation from the city, south, is through the
Jersey and Pennsylvania •canals ; our own great
Canal will not be open until the 19th of next month.
As the navigation df the Lakes has commented much
earlier than usual, the amount of goods to be brought
through the Canal will be large."
The cotton market has settled down into regular
business. The stock in New York was never known
to be so large, amounting to above 150,000 bags.
Speculation had ceased, and shipments are made in
the usual course. Holders were keeping cotton back
till the arrival of the Caledonia.

There had been a good deal of panic in Wall-
street on the subject of the Texian question, and
a sudden fall of stocks was the consequence. Stock
operators have felt the influence of this sensation in

the fall of stocks. The agitation still continues to
some extent, but it has in some degree subsided. The
Texian and Oregon questions are calculated to have
an effect on mercantile matters.

The rate of exchange on England was 1071 to 108 ;
at the latter price a large business was done for the
Hottinguer. On France the rate was sf. 32c., but
nothing done.
We have nothing new from Canada by this arrival.

SADLEI'S TVELLS.

The performances of yesterday evening at this theatre
were of a somewhat novel character, inasmuch as an ex-
hibition of wrestling, of single-Stick, and of sparring
with the gloves, was included in the bill of fare. The
quality of the materiel seemed, however, too recherché
for the tastes of the worthy public of St. John's, and a
very poor house was the necessary consequence. The
first piece of the evening was a drama of Mr. Planche's,
entitled Ivan Danildf, or the Sledge Driver, founded, we
believe, on an incident in the reign of the madly ca-
pricious Paul of Russia. The principal personages are
the redoubted Ivan himself, and Catherine, the heroine,
to whom he is ultimately married, personated by Mr.
H. Marston and Miss Caroline Rankley, with their ac-
customed excellence, and happy appreciation of charge-'
ter. This was succeeded by the amusing farce of.
Raising the Wind, in which Mr. Marston enacted Jeremy
Diddler. Then followed (we copy from the play-bill)
".for the first time in London (pray Heaven it be the
last), a new ballet, called Finsbury Fields, or Good Old
English Gamei." The 'games we have already
.mentioned.
and the artistes were, in the wrestling, Dyer and Snell,
Truscott and 'Kemp (the latter a Guardsman, noted at
'Chalk Farm. Stacey and Davis exhibited their skill in
bout at single-stick, ; and Mason, alias the Bull-dog,
and Johnny Walker ; Bill Jones and Torn Maley, asto-
nished the lieges with .the gloves, which amusements
May be useful' in :propagating a taste for manly and
honeit modes of self-delence;. but surely th,e stage of a
theatre is not the fitting place, and delicate females not
cxactly the proper • individuals to witness them.
The evening concluded with-a revival of the comic pan-
tomime of Baton .11fUnchatisen, or the Genii of the En-
chalyed Isle. The tr;cks and situations, if, not entirely
original, were certainly striking, and created much fun

THE THEATRES.
DitUR-Y-LANE:- -

M. Duprez has obtained an additional eonge of a week
from the Academie Royale de Musique, and, conse-
quently, during the Easter week he will continue ai
Drury-lane. He appeared last night as Arnold in
Guillaume Tell, and will appear on Wednesday and
Friday. Stretton, who was the Tell, was suffering so
severely from lameness, the consequence of an accident,
that, before the commencement of the opera, Cooper came
forward, and bespoke the consideration of the audience
on his behalf. The accident, however, as Mr. Cooper
most truly stated, had " not affected Mr. Stretton's vocal
powers," for we never heard him in better voice. The
old drama of the Tale of Mystery, which was very well
acted, followed the opera. The manageMent judging,
and judging rightly, that the attraction of Duprez would
be stifficient,to fill the house, without the addition of the
usual Easter spectacle, the house was crowded..

PRINCESS'S.

Perhaps the principal cause of the crowded state of
this beautiful theatre last evening, was the announce-
ment that it would be the last evening but one of Ma-
dame Eugenia Garcia's performance here this season. The
opera of Ote/le was repeated, and it is unnecessary fur
us now to enter into a disquisition of its merits; and we
have only to say that it was warmly applauded in every
passage., There was a grand Easter entertainment, to
which we could not give a name if the bills had not
helped us. It is entitled Fair Star, or the Singing
Apple and the Dancing Waters. The extrava-
ganza opens with a view of the interior of the
Temple of the Drama, where Melpomene presents
a specimen of a case of real destitution, and
Thalia is not much better off, while Euterpe, " the
Professor of Dancing for the Million," arid Terpsichore
(" a light character, frequently found tripping, and, al-
though without ancestors, much attached to her grand
pas") are in the ascendant and high favour. They in-
voke Fancy, as a lady of suggestive mind, to their aid,
to invent some mode of amusement for themselves and
audience; and forthwith are exhibited some animated
cartoons, displaying a few of the earlier passages in the
history of " Fair Star." The after scenes c3ntinue that
history with admirable effect and great interest. King
Bigaroon (Paul Bedford), Monarch of Cherry Island, " a
merry sovereign, addicted to taxes and tippling, and too
careless of the state of his head for the head of the state,"
has lost his son and neice, Cherry (Mrs. H. P. Grattan)
and Fair Star (Miss Fortescue), while they were quite
children, through the contrivance of his Queen Marella.
(Madame Sala), "an underhanded dowager, trying
to get the upper hand of the King," and Lord Stalk (Mr.
Oxberry). They have, however, been preserved and
reared by Crambo (Mr. Wright), a Greek Corsair,
" retired from the Atlantic and become Pacific, self-
elected governor of the foundlings." They are, ulti-
mately, restored, and Cherry (after overcoming most
wonderful difficulties, to procure the singing apples and
dancing waters for his lady love) obtains the Fair Star's
hand, and all (as it should do) " ends happily." The
extravaganza is written, it is stated, by Mr. Albert
Smith and Mr. Oxenford, and the two gentlemen have
produced a very amusing Easter-offering. Many of the
points told extremely well with the house. Bedford has
some very laughable songs and speeches, and he made
the most of them. Mr. Wright and Mr. Oxberry also
were excellent in their several parts ; indeed, like praise
may be awarded to all the characters above-mentioned.
The scenery was beautiful and very extensive. The
entire extravaganza was very successful, and was received
most applaudingly by a full audience.

VICTORIA.

A new drama, entitled Leontine, or Sixteen Years Ago,
was produced at this theatre last night, and met with
considerable success ; the principal characters being
sustained by Mr. Osbaldiston ; Mr. C. J. Bird, a promis-
ing actor, who made his first appearance here last night ;
Mr. Coreno, also his first appearance, who played the
character of Paul Dupont, a simple hearted portrait
painter, very respectably ; Mr. Freer, Miss Vincent,
and Mrs. G. Lee, all of whom sustained their parts in a
creditable manner. The plot was w ell arranged, the scenery
well painted, and, in short, the piece was produced in a
manner highly creditable to the enterprising lessee. The
drama was followed by a pretty little ballet, called
Ondine, or the Water Spirit, which introduced Mr.
Frampton's talented juvenile ballet company, eleven
in number. Some very pretty dances were performed in
a manner which called down the applause of the audience.
Another drama, bearing the title of the Bridge of Kehl,
was also produced, in which Miss Saker, from the New-
castle Theatre, made her first appearance here, as
Madelon. After the drama, Mr. Frampton and four of
his pupils performed what the playbill• termed a
" grand pas de cinque ala Chinoise," which was also
well received, and was followed by Buckstone's Ice
Witch, a Norwegian tale of enchantment, which con-
cluded the evening's entertainments. The house was
very well attended.

the name of this grand and really entertaining affair
without the assistance of the bills, we are forced to ac-
knowledge that we could not, from all the cleverness of
.the acting, and the splendour of the embellishments, ar-
rive at any conjecture as to what was the dramatic effect
intended by the author. It was enough, however, for the
purpose. The gorgeous scenery, imposing tableaux, and
many ballets, each of which would have done honour to
a theatre aspiring to excellence in this department alone,
will ensure a long popularity to the "extravaganza," which
was fully successful.
