THEATRE. ROYAL.—During the past week a variety of
choice old pieces have been produced at this theatre, and
if the rapturous manner in which they have been received
demonstrates the excellence of the parts sustained, their
success bas been great. The pantomime has concluded
each evenings entertainment. The house has been well
filled.

DRAWING.—We were exceedingly gratified a few days
since by a cursory glance at a number of drawings, the
works of the pupils of Mr. Norbury, of Bold-street,
whose talent as a teacher is fully evinced by the rapid
progress many of his students have made. The system
Mr. N. adopts is certainly a good one, as it gives the
firmest basis to art-education. Several copies from casts
are admirably executed, and the oil painting, a copy from
Corregio, does great credit to the artist.
THE PERFORMANCES AT THE AMPHITHEATRE have,
during the past week, attracted numerous and highly res-
pectable audiences. The stage spectacles are exceedingly
well got up—the powerful dramatic as well as the eques-
trian company, who introduce their horses, tending greatly
to heighten the effect. The equestrian fetes are not only
daring, but in many instances colossal. The pantomime,
"Jonny Gilpin," has run three weeks, and seems to be as
well liked as ever.

BEGGARS.—A great number of men, women, and se-
veral children were yesterday brought before Mr. Rush-
ton, charged with begging in the streets. The greater
part were in very distressed circumstances, and upon
having agreed to go to their parishes (chiefly in Ireland),
were ordered to be passed on. Others, who refused, and
had been habitually mendicants, were sent to gaol; and
several who belonged to Liverpool were sent to the •ver-
seers, to be relieved or taken into the workhouse.
THEATRE-ROYAL. LIVER.—The performances at this
favourite theatre, for the past week, have been increased
by the production of an excelkntly got up dramatic ver-
sion of " The Cricket of the Hearth," the Christmas
work of C. Dickens. Unpromising as a perusal of the
book would induce us to think the subject for dramatizing,
it has, nevertheless, been formed into a highly attractive
piece, containing many very effective situations and some
good stage characters. The getting up, however, and the
talent of those engaged in it, has dune much for it. Mrs.
W. P. Grattan makes an admirable Dot , and Mr. Lacey,
as Perrybingle, and some others of the artists engaged,
are excellent. The performances for the next three days,
it will be seen from the advertisement, are the " Cricket
on the Hearth," which, we predict, will have a run ; " The
Ilappy Man," so well sustained by Mr. Lester; and
" The Olympic Revels," in which Mrs. Grattan is not
equalled by any actress at present on the stage,
