MUSIC AND THE DRAMA

THE THEATRES.—At the Royal Adelphi Theatre tie
new pantomime is having a most successful run, which aft
amply merits. The Royal Park Theatre has had „
houses during the past week—one of the best having be
for the benefit of Madame Boleno, the prettiest of COW%
bines. Madame Isabell's troupe has received attraettli
accessions in the shape of Madame Pauline Newsome .00
the French clown ; and the Royal Amphitheatre is incle
well worthy of a visit.

MR. THOMAS' WINTER CONCERTS.—We announ--0
last week that the first of this series of concerts was
on the previous Monday evening, at the Philharmouls
hall, and that it had proved eminently successful. .et
would be difficult to imagine a greater treat to the lovist
of good music than the exquisite harmony produced,'"
the band of more than fifty performers which 11
Thomas has brought together for these concerts. St1;0,
a combination of talent has rarely been heard 't
Liverpool, and had it been confined to the wealtbifa
classes, by charging a high price for admissson, it rico,
have been the most fashionable entertainment of the Set-
son. It has, however, been thrown open to the masse;
and they will ill deserve such magnificent eatering ,
their entertainment, if they do not reciprocate with go"
overwhelming attendance on every evening.

MISS HAYES gave her first concert at San Francisco
the 28th November, and was enthusiastically received•

MR. EDWARD SEGUIN, the vocalist. whose death
announced at New York, had been sojourning there hf°o
some time past, with such success in his profession tu 0
he has been enabled to leave his widow and four child°
comfortably provided for.

MUSICAL Buttows.—Richard Spring, a journeyo3.,ll
carpenter, of Peterboro', has invented a novel milsi,ll,
instrument, resembling a large pair of kitchen belicTog
but double in thickness. Whilst the performer is blovvi
the fire, this instrument plays, with astonishing precisio.,,
three popular airs. The music resembles that of a CO"
certina, and the tone is exceedingly mellow.

HORTICULTURE.—OPERATIONS FOR THE Nlir,
—Plant Houses.—The plants intended for early facial,
such as lilacs, Deutzias, Weigles, moss, and other rosea,
&c., may now be forwarded by increasing the temper pr.
tore ; great care is, however, necessary to keep up 3 4.; Of

the atmosphere will be sure to injure the young 51'°°"/.lo°
soon as put forth. In the out-of-door departraelits4o6
thing can be done with advantage whilst the 104"
unexampled season of rain continues.
