\ DRvax-LANs THEArRs-A new ballet, called
Day at The Carnival, was produced last night It's
series Of characteristic dances than regular ballet
for il has no plot whatever The best dances were q
Neapoiitaine, by Taglioni; Pas Styren, by Paul
Taglonl and his wife; Pas Tyroenne, by the three
Taglonis; and Greek Pas de Caracterc by Mr..
Gilbert and Miss Balm. There an attempt to
Introduce some grotcsque dances, which was not al
all reshed by the public who were evidently indig-
seeing feats Of bufoonery perpetrated IN the
presence of Taglion. On this account, mnuet by
two very small children and Chinese Pas de Trols,
by Wieland and two ladies, though clever IN them
selves, were far from successful But what shall we
say to the Cashewnut dance Ia wretched attampt at
pun on the word Cachoucha) by L. Matthews, IN
tended as bsresque on Duvernay! This was intro
duced in the Christmas pantomime and there told
very we'll but last night the Kisses Of the pubic-a
public wi had come to the perfection OF dancing
showed how repu'sve to their feelings was this exh-
bltion, which on the present occasion was but as
gushing piece of low buffoOnery. These grotesque
dances, uneG with the total deficiency of plot or IN
terest combined to render the reception Of The ballet
extremely fiat On the whole, we regret 10 say that
we think it pity such piece should have been pro-
duced; there was nothing worthy the talents OF Tag
liOn As dancer, of course she was perfect; but
those who see her as amere dancer know but small
portion Other merits and yet last night she was seen
but in this capacity.
CovENr GARpEN.-Miss Vincent took her benefit
at this house last night. The Winters Tale was the
principal dish in the theatrical bill of fare. Macready
sustained the part of LeOntes In the first four acts
of the play he cold, tedious and unimpassioned,
but in tn fifth act he made amends; his apathy
removed and he rendered the last most intense
ly effective. The comic parts were but indlferently
filled. Those who played them were TOO little i'm
bucd with the spirit of Shakespeare TO feel his humor
or to convey his meaning TO the audience. They
struted gaped, and gabbled TO no purposes their ct
forts produced laughter AMI deserved no applause
THEATRE RsYAL-LIvERPooL.- we anticipated,
the performance of Shakspeares tragedy of Mac
BETH" for the benefit of Mr. Brough, drew an I'M
usually large and fashionable audience on Monday
evening. The principal parts were sustained by
Messrs. Kean, Stuart and Brough, and Mrs. Stanley,
and the performance was altogether grand treat.
We could not help remarklag that Mr.. Kean's and
Mr.. Forests Macbeth were quite ditierent-he per-
sonaton of the former being natural well efec-
tive and that of the other overweight and exagger
ated.
TIE PRrScEss VIcToRIA.-This day is to be writ
ten as high day in the chronicles of Britain. The
Princess Victoria is now of age. While we congratu
late the country upon many virtues which centre in
the heress the crown, upon the reported bias and
inclination Of her political opinions and the deep felt
convictions which she is SAID 10 entertain, that TO
study the happiness and welfare Of the people is the
first duty and of their ralers-while congratu
late the country upon these things, which seem to
promise new era in the history OF monarchy there
is one point especially upon which the people should
feel Joy and hankfulness-W William the Fourth is now
in years, and death is no respecter ofpersons: Hes

Birthday Tribute:
ADDRESSED PRINCESS VICTORIA,
On uttaiuing her Eighteenth Year; BY Miss Landon
When has the day the lovliest of its hours
II the hour when morn breaks into day.
When drops light the yet uniolded flowers,
And sunshine like Hope upon its why
Then scars the lark amid the azure, singing
A seraphs song that is of heaven, not earth;
Then comes the wind fragrant wanderer, bringing
The breath OF wales where volets have birth
Which of the seasons in the year is faircsg
That when the sprns mrs, brushes r.,s INTO blooms
When the world warns with colour and perfume
Then are the meadows filed with pleasant voices,
Earth one bright promise what II Is tobe;
Then the green forest in its depths reloices,
Flowers in the grass, and buds upon the tree.
Then the red rose reveals her future glory
Breaking the green moss with one crimson trace;
So dawns the whte-whils old historic story
Tells they wreathe for Engiands Royal race.
Ifthus 50 fair the spring time and the morning
But in the world Of Leaf and bud how far,
with all their early LONELINESS adjoining,
Still loyeer in our human world they are.
Youth is around thee, Ladye Of the ocean,
Ocean that u thy kingdom and Thy home,
where not heart but kndes with emotion,
Dreaming OF honored years that are TO come
What $ the light Of mornings rosy breaking,
To the young promise OF that Royal mind;
What are the hopes OF sunny spring sawakmg,
To hopes which In thy future are cnshrined'
mighty the task and glorious the fulfilling,
Duties that round thy future hours must DC;
The East and West depend upon Thy willing,
Mistress art thou wherever rolls the sea
Far art thou, PslScEss, in thy youthful beauty
Thop-htloi and pure, the spirit claims H. part
Gazing thy young face, nations duty
Burs,ior into The homage Of the heart.
Ger thy high forehead is the sol, hair braided
He eyprd dark shallow that brow
Not vet one tint OF youths sweet hues are faded;
The 10, cliness Of promise lights thee nov.
Around thee are Thousand hearts addressing
PRAYER for thy sake 10 every power divine;
No lin that names thee, names without blessing;
A nations holicst wishes are all thine.
