      Mr . Gkorge Buckland ' s Patriotic Songs . — The directors of the Polytechnic [ nstitution have judiciously added to the attractiveness of their establishment in the eyes of holidav folks , by engaging the services of Mr . George Buckland to deliver a musical lecture upon " Old English and Patriotic Songs , " with vocal illustrations , rhis gentleman is giftedT-with that fresh , manly voice- ^ yhich gives life to a patriotic song ; and in such songs as " The Old English Gentleman , " and " Stand to your Guns , " he is pleasing , dramatic , and impressive . — ¦ '

      THE EASTEK PIECES . We announced , last week , the entertainments which the Theatres had prepared for the holiday people ; and we have now to report the success of all the new fairy stories , extravaganzas , and burlesques in every direction . The piece at the Hayjiarket is of the kind which the French call Revue . All the . great theatrical successes of the past season are represented in it . It is written by the ever-ready and ingenious Mr . Pi-anche , and the principal comic part is acted by the irresistible Mr . Buckstone . What greater recommendations than these can be advanced in its favour ? The Ade lphi gives no less than five fairy stories all neatly compressed within the compass of one extravaganza . Miss Woolgar has some extraordinary transformations of costume and changes of character—Mr . James Bland does wonders as a flinty-hearted father—and the ladies ( and children ) of the ballet exhibit some excellent dancing . The piece is very carefully and brilliantly put upon the stage . The public of the Pkincess's lose nothing in losing the music of the Muleteer of Toledo . Speaking from experience of the opera at Paris , we should say that the " libretto" was decidedly the best part of it . M . Adolphe Adam ( the composer of the Muletier de Tolede , as given at the Theatre Historique ) has exhausted his musical vein . He can only write conventionalities now of the mock-brilliant kind , which the Frenchthe most conservative and sober people in the world in matters of Artpatiently endure out of grateful remembrance of the composer of Le Postilion . The comic drama of the Muleteer , as given at the Princess ' s , is neatly and elegantly put on the stage , and fairly acted—Mr . Harlet , as a sycophantic courtier , being , of course , as amusing as ever . Sadler's Wells rejoices in the Lyceum company , without Charles Mathews ! Mr . Weight , who does nothing but move about now , is making the transpontine public laugh at the Surrey Theatre . The Strand has obtained a discreditable success by a burlesque of King Lear . The author who could parody , the players who could act , and the audience which could applaud , are all worthy of each other . Think of the mental condlfcon of the human beings , before and behind the curtain , at the Strand Theatre ; and then remember that we still persist in sending missionaries to foreign parts !

      ROYAL , ITALIAN OPERA . The Opera has begun this season where it left off last August , with Rossini's lively and melodious Comte Ory , and a more agreeable and auspicious opening could not be desired . The only change in the cast is the substitution of Gardgni for Luchesi , in every respect a welcome change . Luchesi s voice i * - perhaps , more flexible , and his method more Rossinian than GardoxNis , but LucHESi ' s qualities belong to the past , and we are not content with reminiscences . Gardoni ' s voice is reedy , but sympathetic L he is _ graceful and prepossessing , and he has never acted and sung with more intelligence and ¦ animation than on the present occasion . Mademoiselle Bosio , whose extraordinary advance in her art has been a favourite topic of conversation lately in musical circles , though cold and inanimate as a Venus a la neige , vocalises more brilliantly , and with a more exquisitely effortless impassiveness than ever . There is a rare pleasure in the confidence such a singer as Madlle . Bosio inspires ; her voice seems to well up spontaneously into a fountain of crystal clearness , and ^ inexhaustible flow . As an actress she seems to have everything to learn , except

      the conventional graces of stage deportment . At present she does literally nothing , in the most ladylike and elegant manner imaginable . The secondary parts in the opera were fairly filled , but it struck us that the singers were hardly equal to the volubility of the music in the comic passages . The genuine Italian opera bufia , of which the Comte Ory is a delightful example , requires a special style of vocalisation , to the acquisition of which the best singing practice in the compQsitions of the modern Italian . school offers no facilities whatever . Fidelio is to be produced on the occasion of , the state visit next Thursday , with the new German prima donna , Aladlle . Jenny Ney ,-as Leonora ; but we are not sorry to be reminded by the Comte Ory that Italian opera is something more than a name . j A Paris Correspondent of the Independence Beige informs us that Cekito is ' engaged at Covent Garden this season as a singer . One must go abroad to ' learn what is going on at home !

      THE AMATEUR PANTOMIME . ( To die Editor of the Leader . ') SiR , —Be kind enougn to allow me , through your columns , to give up an , honour which I am not fairly entitled to—the authorship of the opening of the Olympic Amateur Pantomime . The original burlesque scene of Guy Fawkes was written by Mr . Edmund Draper for " The Man in the Moon" —a little periodical which I edited in 1848 , conjointly with my poor friend Mr . Angus Reach . I have done little more , with my collaborates Mr . Hale , than remodel it , according to our exigencies , and put in the songs and " business , " and such local or personal allusions as were considered adapted to the audience . Yours obediently , The Fielding Club , April 11 , 1855 . Albert Smith .

      MONEY . MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , April 13 , 1855 . Settling day ' in Consols has passed off quietly enough . The tendency to fall during tho weok has become more apparent since tho settling . The rumour of a considerable loan , sonio say fifteen millions , lias kopt tho market from any rising , and tho continued diplomatic delays at Vienna have boon added thereto . Even tho most sanguine now begin to pivo up all hopes of pooco on satisfactory , torms . Tho invitation from tho Chancellor of tho Exchequer tins morning to tho capitalists of tho City of London to meet him on Monday and arrange tho torms of a loan , has oporated seriously in our m .. rkols to depress them .
