      CHRISTMAS AMUSEMENTS .

      . THE THEATRES . : " '" Daring the holidays all / places of amnnment wera [ ftrgelj patronised , and panoramas , museums , picture galleries , dioramu , waxwork collections , loological f" ^ ?» public institutions , and , above all , the thwitNB , had tneir thousands of admirers . '¦ . - ;

      . - DRURY-LAKE . : "'"" . " . ¦ ,. Mr . Btmn , once more lessee of this theatre , commenced Ms new course of management on Boxing night . In ? houso was filled to overflowing with a holiday audience ; attracted by an abundant and attractive bill of fare . God saTe the Queen" having been sang by the principal singers of the operatic « mpanyr Mr . Bnnn came forward and ,, briefly addressed the audience . He'began by taking de- " served credit for the transformation he had effected in the interior of the theatre , which , a fortnight ago , was amass of dilapidation and dirt , and was now what the audience saw . He might well speak self-oomplaoently on this subject , for the house is decorated with great splendour and . taste , and is made moat comfortable as well as beautiful . Mr . Bnnn went on to say that it ' wis hfe intention to em- ' trace every branoh of the drama , and to exert himself to do every branch the greatest possible justice , trusting that the patronage of the public would furnish him with the means of doing so . This address , which -was enlivened trith some good-humoured jokes , was loudly and cordially app lauded . The play -was Milman ' s ¦¦ "Pirio , " in which Jlr . Anderson and Miss Glyn exerted themselves meritoriously , and earned considerable applause . The Pantomime -was entitled , " Harlequin Hogarth ; or , the Two London 'Prentices ; " and was constructed on the original plan of these Christmas comicalities , a wholesome moral being incnleated through the medium of the allegorical personages introduced ; In this case idleness and ignorance are contrasted with knowledge and industry , and the two London 'Prentices are selected to embody the results of each . The one fights his . way through dangers ; difficulties , and temptations , to the ' wind of his master ' s daughter ; the other blazy , : < M becomes a th ' i&S . and a vagabond ; and after hxv ' vcg 7 .,.. ; V- / , r ^ , rciie 3 Uned course the usual transformations succeed . Miss raiser is the . merry and agile columbine ; Messrs . J . and-H . Marshall , Harlequin and Clown ; Mr . Silvani , a guttapercha gentleman , covered with gild ^ ing and brilliant colours , is the -Sprite ; and Mr . " Barnes , Pantaloon . A long series of pantomimic tricks follow , accompanied with abundance of kicks , slaps , leaps , tumbles , and other pieces of practical humour . One of the happiest things was the hit at " Bloomerism . " A ' great many yonng ladies , in fall Bloomer costume , are engaged in masculine occupations , while a number of men are employed as nursery maids , and in other female duties . At another time we lad the submarine telegraph bringing the latest news from France : '' Monday , Paris very gay , and abundance of balls . " "Tuesday , Paris in a state of siege ; and abundance of Bullets . " Mr . H . Marshall pave most laughable imitations of some of our violinists , Ernst and Sivori in particular ; showing , at the same time , a wonderful command of the instrument . His " Carnival of Venice , " a la Sivori , produced shouts of laughter . " His whole performance of the Clown was excellent ; His brother , toe , was a capital Harlequin ; and Hies Palser was a pretty and graceful Columbine . The scenery , " which consisted chiefly of street views in London , was beautiful ; particularly the view of a fine street by " moonlight , rind of arailway station . The concluding scene ,. the interior of the Crystal , Palace , was one of the most gorgeous things we have ever seen upon the stage . The applause was loud arid general at the close , and the pantomime will no doubt be as popular as any of its rivals or predecessors . Some idea may be formed of its extent ' and beauty , when its production is laid to have exceeded £ 1 , 500 . On Saturday evening Mr . Bunn produced *• The Belle ' s Stratagem . " The play went off with spirit , and Misg Fitzpatrick was warmly applauded when called for after the fall of the curtain . The play was followed by the appearance of the gifted American children , Kate and Ellen Bateman , in Scribe ' s little piece , "The loung Couple , " their frequent performance of which at' the St . James ' s Theatre is still fresh in the memory of the public . The pantomime , of course , concluded the evening . It went ' off admirably , everything working more smoothly and quickly than on the first night .

      ASTLEFS . : :: Holiday nights are always bumpers at this theatre , and Boxing night was no exception to the rule : the audience was as numerous , * 3 patient , and although noisy , as good humoured as any manager could desire .

      half a century ago . The grand coup of the evening—and of the Beaaon—was of course the pantomime , which the bills describe as original , equeitrian , and comic , replete with wit and whim , entitled "Mr . ana Mri .. Briggs '•; or Harlequin Pouch ' s Festival" Thii title sufficiently indicates the source from which the author haB r drawn his inspiration . As usual there was ' a Jong mtroduction ' in . yhich night and morning , nature and aft , are personified , and connected with the Crystal Palace ; and Mr . and Mrs . Briggi and family ; are ^ brought in , with the view only , asfarasit ap « pean , of converting certain of them into the ordinary pantomimic characters . The busy scenes irhich followed ¦ were , well conceived , and making allowances for a firat night , the tricks were ^ well executed , * But ttie absence of political hits , and everi of / social / hoveltie ' s , and from the expected allusions to the'Bloom ' ec mania ( resulting probably from the excisions of the Lord Chamberlain or the fear of them ) rendered the entertainment leBa animated than on some former Boxing nights .. : ¦ . . : ¦¦ •

      Taxatios asb Powbbs : op LoKDON . —St . Alban ' s is the best abused borough in the kingdom ; its representation ia disposed of by a Parliamentary agent in Clejeland-row . for the benefit of a chemist in Oxford-street ; its taxation is disposed of in Guildhall for the ¦ benefit of that small part of the metropolis "the city ; " and its reputation is disposed of byevery critic in want of a scapegoat . - The dogma that " representation should be co-extensive with taxation , " strangely observed'in the kingdom at large , ii most / . ludicrously applied to St . Alban ' s ; the representation of the borough ib transferred to London , : and the taxation of London is extended to the borough ; so that the representation of St . Alban ' s , may be said to be co-extensive with its taxation , both lying along-the road between the borough and London .- There should be a select committee to inquire into

      the philosophy and rationale of this arrangement . ' We ' can understand local taxation , 'by which the City of-London would provide for itself ; ' we can understand imperial taxation for the metropolis ' of the empire , in order to render so great a city worthy of its exalted position ; but ' we cannot understand why a particular place here and there should be picked ontfor a ; special taxation , which is neither local nor imperial , but capricious . St . Alban ' s has to pay 13 d . a ton on its coals for the improvement of London ; and , naturally indignant , ' the ' ' borough meets , resolves ; -and petitions Parliament . ' Kit were notfor the modern interbretatioh of the word " practical , " which make 3 a merit of being opposed to natural order , scientific fitness , or anything which maybe expressed ~ ih a theoretical form , we should say that' the grievance is too absurd to last ; 'but the new practical

      philosophy has steeled the intellectual conscience of our statesmen against the reduitio ad absurdum . ' The reductio is the more perfect since this co-extensive taxation has been inflicted by a private bill , which common sense would pronounce to be an insufferable violation' of ' the constitution ; but to your practical man , we suppose , 'it only proves theboasted " elasticity " of that " glorious constitution under which , " &c . Being a private bill , it was not only unconstitutional , but it escaped notice . It is evident that members of Parliament have been suffering the ' aldermen and council of Londonlto tax St . Albm ' s withoutknowing that they were allowing such a permission to slip from them . Thefact proves , for the thousandth time , ' what an unseemly and impracticable burden that private business , is upon the central Parliament . It also explains why experienced Parliamentary managers , agents , and officials , defend the private bill system ; it enables them to smuggle through so many

      enactments unseen . But the power is dangerous . For anything we know , a treacherous Minister , might for instance , smuggle through an enactment to depose the Sovereign and alter the succession by means . of a private bill . The supposition is not so fancifnl as it might seera . According to Lord John Russell , the Papal Recognition of Roman Catholic bishops with territorial titles was a direct infringement of the prerogative , and to thai extent a virtual deposition of the Sovereign . Now , that recognition had previously been made in a private or local bill concerning a Dublin burialground , so that , according to Lord John ' s own showing , some agent ' of the Pope had already been at work , and had made a great and alarming stride towards setting aside the lawful Sovereign of these realms . ' Perhaps , since direct evidence is unavailing , that view of danger may suffice to makeohr Parliament-managers perceive the mischievous character of the private bill system . —Observer .

      HAIMARKET . The performances commenced with the "Beegar ' s Opera , " the principal parts in which were ably filled by Mr . Harrison , Mrs . Fitzwilliam , and Miss Louisa Pyne . Then came the novelty of the sight—a now extravaganza , fonnded on % tale of Count Hamiltons ' s , and entitled the " Princess Radiant ; or . the Story of Mayflower . " There are , however , several graftings on the original story , for the purpose of enabling the clever author , to burlesque characters and events of which Count Hamilton could have liad no conception . The Lord Chamberlain has sadly curtailed political hits ; but hits of a general kind were plentiful and well-applied . The piece , which was highly successful , was annonnced fohrepetition ^ very evening .

      PRINCESS'S . - The " Merchant of Venice " was very much cut down , and got through with rapidity to make way for the pantomime , founded on the adventures of the celebrated Billy Taylor , of Tooley- street , whose adventures are so frequently sung by street ballad-siagera . Much additional romance is added to the historical records contained in the old ballad , and in the pleasant jumble of periods , characters , and places , which pantomime writers are allowed to effect , a genial humourous Christmas production has resulted . The dialogue in the first part displayed a good amount of iokes and happy allusions , notwithstanding the lord Chamberlain ' s interference . The authors of the pantomime are the Brothers Sala and Mr . George Ellis . Mr . Flexmore , the favourite clown , danced a novel- "pat de paraplwe , " which gained much applause . His imitation ofseveral stars of the ballet was very good . Miss C . Leelercq merits notice as an excellent Columbine .

      LYCEUM . The brilliant promise of the Lyceum announcement was brilliantly fulfilled by the Christmas spectacle . After "The Game of Speculation , " in which Mr . C . Mathews sustained the part of Affable Hawk with his usual ability , the audience were presented with a splendidly bound edition of "TlanchiuponcPAnoit , " under the title of "The Prince of Happy Land ; or , the Fawn in the Forest" An absence of allusion to the topics of the day was felt in the course of the picee , an omission for which we Buppose we may thank the Chamberlain ' s recent sudden attack of zeal for critical revision . Nevertheless the audience were in the best humour , cheered one or two hits immensely , and fonnd ample food for admiration in the splendour of the scenery and decorations .

      SADLER'S WELLS . The pantomime at this honsa is entitled " Harlequin and the Yellow D * arf , or the Enchanted Orange Tree and the King of the Gold Mines . " The demand of the Lord Chamberlain to have the tricks submitted to his approval doas not appear to have impaired the v « eomiea of the author but , on the contrary , the jokes are unusually numerous and good .- Master Rochez , who appeared as Sprite , and Master Stilt , who was supernumerary Clown , performed a ' great number of w onderful gymnastic feate . Mr . Fenton ^ , the Harlequin , Miss De Vere the Columbine , and Mr . Ifaylor the Pantaloon ; all of whom acquitted themselves with credit .
