      The Theatres In Easter Week. V The Play-...

      new drama in Eight JM m ^ hieh every Member of the company , ? 5 nfbrced for the occasion , will be engaged r and vtfuch , if repoit speaks JSlv will send home audiences laughing and weeping to their beds ; for it Z to contain drama , fatee , ballet , spectacle , effects , situations , wit and d ialogue , in equal luxuriance . .. ..- , At the Haymarket , " O !

The Adelphi has a new three act drama , The Queen of the Mdr & et , and a diablerie , bearing the somewhat familiartitle of Mephistopheles , who ought to be Wright , with Paul Bedford as Faust , ox vice versd . Over the water , no doubt , the same activity reigns ; but what is this astounding novelty we are taught to expect from that classic legion of astounding noveltie # Dbeahy XaSTE ? Positively , The Bohemian Girl ! a sure sign that the Star of Bunn is at its apogee : " about this time , " as Francis Moore would say , " Tie Bohemian Girl may be expected . " But undismayed by the rivalry of two Italian Operas , Bunn threatens a Preary-t ^ ane version of JErnani and—Fidelio —to introduce a Mdlle .

      The Sea Climate.—The Sea Climate, Then, ...

      The Sea Climate . —The sea climate , then , is equable ; it is also moist , and the skj' of ten cloudy and rainy in the high latitudes . The land climate is excessive , with violent changes , generally dry , and the sky usually clear . It follows that the astronomical climate—that Which is dependent on the latitude—is greatly modified by the presence or absence of the sea ; and the distribution of heat through the year , for any place whatever , depends in no small degree on its proximity to , or its distance from , the ocean , and the consequent prevalence of the winds which , blow from it . — Gugotfs Earth and Man . |

      A Fox ' s Cunning . —Foxes are frequently taken m the pitfalls set for wolves , and seem to possess more cunning . An odd incident is related by Mr . Lloyd : — A fox wa 3 lying iat the bottom of a pitfall , apparently helpless , when a very stout peasant 'haying placed a ladder , began to descend with cautious and creaking steps to destroy the vermin . Reynard ,. however , thought he might benefit by the ladder as well as his corpulent visitor , and just as the latter readied the ground , jumped first on his stern , then on his shoulder , skipped out of the pit , and was off in a -moment , leaving the man staring and swearing at his impudent escape . — Zoological Notes and Anecdotes . . ' .

      The Lion ' s Feae of Man . —Lichtenstein says that the African hunters avail themselves of the circumstance that the lion does not attempt to spring upon Ins prey till he has measured the ground , and has reached the distance of ten or twelve paces , when he lies crouching on the ground , gathering himself up for the effort . The hunters , he says , make a rule never to fire upon the lion till he lies down at this short distance , so that they can nim directly at his head with the most perfect certainty . He adds , that , if a person

      has the misfortune to meet a lion , his only hope of safety is to stand perfectly still , oven though the animal crouches to make his spring : that spring will not be hazarded if the man has only nerve enough to remain motionless as a statue , and look steadily in the eyes of the lion . The animal hesitates ^ rises , slowly retreats some steps looking earnestly about him—lies downagain retreats , till having thus by degrees quite got out <) t what he seems to feel as the magic circle of man ' s influence , he takes flight in the utmost haste . —Zoological Notes and Anecdotes .

      Bttcford's Panorama Of Salzburg. Beautif...

      BtTCFORD'S PANORAMA OF SALZBURG . Beautiful to look upon , though dull , to live in , Salzburg is the very place for making a panorama . It is the birthplace of Mozart— -a beautiful reminiscence for an hour's visit , but not enough to live upon for a week , much less : for a season . Its white houses tell capitally in the foreground of a painting , but make you feel in a stupendous wash-house while you are down on the floor of the streets . The castle height is the true point of view , when the atmosphere is clear of fog or drizzling rain . Then you see that vast amphitheatre of mountains , that gliding / and meandering stream , the Tyrolese Alps in the distance . These facilities the panorama secures you . And the present view is painted with all Mr . Burford ' s tacfc and skill . That he can convert the walls of his eircular gallery into any scene , however expansive and grand , most Londoners and their country cousins know : Salzburg is a favourable subject for that art . The mixture of town , villa , and wild mountain scenerythe level river , the undulating foreground , the rising walls of Al p ine height—the masonry , the grassy hills , the blue pinnacles , afford a variety of subject which gratifies tke eye , and presents the illusion , the more pleasingly from the many shapes which it assumes .
