blind girl hears the 'sound of wheels, and May Field-

waro, her old lover, the sea of Caleb "'wenn= r, who.
having heard of May's infidelity, had come disguised as
the stranger, to satisfy himself of the truth of the
reports he had heard, had confided his secret to Dot,
who had assisted generously, s 1 ,tl-..se truth-
fulness, faithfulness, and love, 01. s now more
thoroughly convinced than ever. Bertha is ' unde-
ceived by Caleb as to the true character of Taekleton,
and '1 acklet(ti himself, infected as it were by the atmos-
phere of happiness by which he is surrounded, becomes
forgiving and human, and gives to the newly married
couple the wedding-cake widen he had bad prepared for
himself, and all ends merrily with a dance, as a Christ-
mas piece should do. MiEs Mary Keeley, the debutante,
is a young lady apparently not more than seventeen
years of age. Her figuie is finely proportioned, her eye
dark and intelligent, her features most expressive, and
her voice delightfully clear and finely modulated. In
fact, she is exactly like what her mother was as
Miss Goward. She has evidently been well taught,
and has profited by her teaching ; and, more-
over, she is possessed of that without which
the best teaching is of no avail—genius. We
anticipsee a very brilliant career for this young lady.
Mrs. Keeley, was fitted exactly in the character of Dot,
and Emery s carrier was one of the most artistical
things he has yet done—full of pathos, intensity, and
power, without the slightest approach to rant. Keeley
was excellent as Caleb; and Meadows, as Tackleton,
Ras an embodied sneer. Taken as a whole, however,
perhaps the most perfect thing in the piece was the
Tilly Slowboy of Miss Turner. She threw her-
self. completely into the part, and gave the gauche-
ries of the emancipated charity-girl with the
greatest gusto imaginable, frequently convulsing the
audience with laughter. The principal performers
were called for at the fall of the curtain, and the
fair debutante was saluted with a plentiful, shower
of- bouquets. Then there was a call 'for Mr.
Albert Smith, who bowed his acknowledgments
from one of the proscenium boxes; and then a call for
Mr. Dickens, who did not, however, make his appear-
ance. The piece is admirably got up, and will prove
one of the most successful that has been produced even
at the Lyceum. The approaches to the theatre
were thronged even before the doors were opened, and
lorg before the curtain drew up the house was crowded
in every parts .

BURFORD'S PANORAMA OF
ROUEN.

We were yesterday gratified with a private view of
Mr. Burford's new Panorama of Rouen, which is about
to be opened for public exhibition in Leicester-square.
The drawings for this panorama were taken by Mr.
Burford, during the course of the last autumn ; and,
therefore, the panorama represents Rouen exactly as it
is at the present moment. Th.. view is taken from
the stone bridge which leads to the terminus of the Paris
Railroad, and the terminus itself, and the statue of Cor-
neille are very conspicuous objects in the panorama : the
ip-xt object which attracts the attention of the visitor is
the beautiful suspension-bridge across the Seine, which
has been substituted for the old bridge of boats—of the
bridge of boats which all who visited Rouen in " the olden
time," must remember well there remain only two small
portiont,, now used as mooring-places. The river in this
part is represented as crowded with shipping, and the
effect '4)f the light and shade upon the water is exceed-
ingly ,beautiful. The full extent of Rouen towards the
river now opens upon .the spectator—not the Rouen of
some thirty years ego, idle, dirty, miserable, and
ruinous—but the new Roueu of the present day, with
its magnificent quays, its splendid river-terrace of
houses, rivalling in extent and in architectural decorations
the palaces of the merchant-princes of , Italy in her
Balmiest days. Towering above this terrace, in the
distance, we see the spires of the old cathedial,. and of
the churches of St. Ouen and Maclou, and the far-
famed tower of the Grosse Borloge. -We now arrive at
the north side of the stone bridge leading to the Place
de Paris. The scene here is most animated—
throngs of carts and carriages, and groups of
peasantry, in the quaint but picturesque costume
of Normandy, are seen passing over the bridge to and
from the city. There is one figure in this part of the
picture which struck us as peculiarly characteristic. It
is that of aTrench postilion mounted ona cheval de posk,
and urging the animal into a gallop ; there
is an absolutely national character about both
man and horse. If they had been introduced
into a panorama of Madrid or Constantinople, the spec-
tator would have at once exclaimed they are both
French. It would be 'impossible to mistake them for the
denizens of any other nation. And now we come to the
most beautiful bit in the picture, the hill of St. Ca-
therine, with the beautiful Seine, dotted with islands,
meandering at its base, and the beautiful
village of Bonsecouis, enveloped in trees on
the right. The autumn tints of the foliage are
exceedingly rich. The effect of the heat, rather than of
the light of the sun upon the air and upon the water, are
exquisitely delineated. Warm, rich, and true to nature,
this is one of the most beautiful landscapes we have seen

for. many a long day. It is to be hoped that some
means may be taken for preserving this delicious bit.
It is quite a gallery picture. The whole panorama, as a
work of art, is of a very high order, and taken as a IN hole,

is perhaps the most artistical that Mr. Burford has yet
produced.
