SURREY THEATRE.

The manager of this theatre has not been behind his
competitors in endeavouring to provide amusement for
his holiday visitorsphaving produced no fewer than three
new pieces last, night. The first of these was a panto.
mime called FoxAnd•Geete, or Harlequin the White King
of Chess. The tric.k were not numerous, but some of
the scenery was verwetty, particularly a view of the
cliffs at Margate, and .aisatber of a rocky pass.. The
pantomime was received with great approbation. The
pieces which followed ars epitomes of two well-known
dramas—namely, Lovers Quarrel! and Alin: Ctvsar.
Both were received With considerable approbation.
OLYMPIC ItHIATRE.
No houie tan be withobt the attraction of a Panto-
mime at Christmas. The newl-larleirinade of. Han-
!egotist's Christmas-bon; or, the London Apprentices; was
produced. Some of :the scenery it -good, and much of
the machinery in the pantomime highly ingenious.
ADELPHI THEATRE..

The performances here last night commenced with
the everlasting burletta of Tom and Jerry. A new
Pantomime followed, entitled Doctor Faustus and the
Black Dasoii, or Harlequin and the Seven Fairies of the
Grotto. It is founded on the well-known tale of " The
Dev,il apd Dr. Faustus.;" and, so far as the introductory
part goes, is sufficiently interesting. It has the advan-
tages of some pretty scenery ; and of a lively Clown and
Columbine in Mr. KIRBY and Mrs. SERLPS. A beautiful
panoramic view of the British fleet under Lord Flernouth,
bombarding, the town of Algieis, is well executed, and
was warmly applauded. The whole closed with an alle-
gvFical• representation of Neptune crowning Britannia
with victory. The house WAs crowded to excess.
