    Our hope , expressed last vreek , that Saturday would be a fine day , in order that the last display of the great fountains at the Crystal Palace might be worthily illuminated , was doomed ttf disappointment . The rain poured down incessantly , and the day was gloomily oppressive with heavy mist and a comfortless wind , against which the fountains struggled vainly , and made but a poor exhibition of their glories . Here , therefore , was a great disappointment , which the visitors made up for by admiring the magnificence of two Oriental ¦ worthies who shone upon the Palace that day in all their barbaric splendour . These were Mirza Secundae Hushbiet Bahadur , brother to the King of Odde , and JIieza Wullee Hvde BjIhaduk , son of the King and heir apparent—to the title . The former was a very incrustation of gold , purple and gems , and walked about the aisles Like starlight clad with jewels That were the spoils of provinces . The young prince was more subdued ; but both warmed the dull day with a bit of sunshine from the hot East . A " Ceramic Court , " or court for the exbibition of Pottery , has been opened at the People ' s Palace . "It is divided , " says the Times , " into two departments . The department on the side next tne terrace is purely historical , and , here we have presented to us specimens of every nation , of every age , and in every degree of preservation— -Chinese and Babylonian and Egyptian , Greek and Roman and Etruscan , Italian , German , and French , together with a complete collection of English ware . To these many of the most enthusiastic collectors in this country have very generously contributed . In the remaining division , of the court , Mr . Battam has judiciously selected the masterpieces of the j historical section , and placed them together in an artistic comparison with I modern English earthenware . Here we have the choicest works of Copelanjd , j of Miivtok , of Battasi , of Kekr and Binns , and others brought into proximity . not only with the old WedgeAvood china , the old Chelsea and Derby , but with i the Dresden , the Berlin , the Palissy ware , Majolica ware , and some of the most glorious specimens of Sevres and Limoges .

    | ' . ' ¦ ' " ' - ' — - ? . ' . ' THEATRICAL NOTES . Mk . PheI / PS , last Saturday night , revived Siiakspeare ' s Timon of Athens , himself performing the part of the old Greek misanthrope , and Mr . Ma . rston appearing as Apemantus . The play had been brought out at Sadxer ' s Wells once before , in the year 1851 ., at which time it had not been played since 1816 , when , though supported by Edmund Kean , then in the flush of his unparalleled popularity , it was something very like a failure . Though containing some of I Shakspeabe ' s finest writing , it had never been popular till Mr . Phelps made it so ; for , dating back from 1816 , we must travel as far as the reign of Charles II . before we can find another representation of Titnon on the siage ; and even then it was thought necessary , by patching it with some of honest Shad-wkil's upholstery , to make it pretty and interesting for the beaux and belles of those days , who were offended at the want of female interest . In subsequent times , the same and other presumed defects were kindly amended by CiraiBEBXAiifD and the Hon . George Lamb ; but the manager of Sadleh ' s Wells lias not found it advisable to adopt any of these aids to Shakspeare , but has given the play simply as he found it , except for those omissions which it is always necessary to make from a drama of the Elizabethan days . Beautiful scenery and gorgeous costumes are not wanting in the present revival ; and there is ; a panorama representing the march of Alcibiades to Athens , while , for a concluding tableau , we have a view on the shore of the ocean , with the tomb of Timon in the foreground , and the invading army grouped about it , as an illustration of those grand lines : — " ¦¦"¦ ... ¦ . ¦ .. ¦ .: ¦ . ¦ ¦ . ¦ ¦ . . . 7 ' - ¦ ' ¦ . ' 7 . ¦ [¦ .. ¦ i '¦"¦ . . . ¦ :. ' Say to Athens , Timon hath made liis everlasting mansion Upon the beached verge of tlie salt flood , Which once a day with , his embossed froth The turbulent surge shall cover . Mr . Phelps is always conspicuously fine in parts where theie is a mingling of misanthropy and "broken-hearted grief ; and his audience has now for the second time endorsed his performance of Timon . The revival is a success . The engagement of Mrs . Emma Waller at Drury Lane terminated on Saturday night with lier performance of Beatrice in Much Ado about Nothing . — Talking of Drurt Lane , we may mention that the play calle&Bianca , which was announced for production by Mr . E . T . Smith , has been withdrawn . It was written by Robson ; the person now in custody under charges connected with the frauds at the Crystal Palace ; and it is of course obvious that there was no choice but to consign it to forgetfulness . A- play , with the rather melodramatic title of The A dventurer on the Fiend ' s Mountain , was produced on Monday evening at Drurt Lank , for the purpose of introducing Mr . Barbt Soliuvan in the character of a roistering Gascon , who goes to the Fiend ' s Mountain on a perilous adventure in search of a certain lady reported to be guilty of the chaTming little coquetry of nrurdering several huobando in succession , like Assyrian Semiramis . This wayward lady afterwards turns out , to toe . ihe . jx ,, h *** qf Monmouth , who has herself put forth the story of the husband-murdering , to keep off intruders ,- and the Gascon , who has introduced himself to her , is arrested in mistake for the rebel Duke . Be is even sentenced to death under this error ; but matters are made right in the end and both the Gascon and the Dtike get clear off , leaving to the audience the pleasing reflection that they all live happy ever after . The plot is irom M Eugene Sue's story of Madame Barbe-Bleue . The Olympic reopened on Monday with . Still Waters Run Deep , and the First Night . Mrs . Wigan resumed her original part in the former piece . Another triumph of scenic splendour and artistic skill was added to the Ion " list of Mr . Kean ' s enchantments at the Princess's , on - Wednesday evening , in the production of Midsummer Night ' s Dream . We have so often argued the impropriety of making ; Shakspeare subsidiary to spectacle that we dec-line to enter again into that question , and therefore merely refer to the present ' revival' as we should to a pageant at a Czar ' s coronation . There can be no two opinions a 3 to the extraordinary beauty and ingenuity of Mr . " Kean ' s

    achievements as a stage artist ; and here we have a new world of fairy life , moon-lit , haunted forests , and stately palaces , opened to us . The electric light is brought into frequent operation , and reveals , in sudden snatches , alternating with green glooms of foliage Oberon , and Titania , and the elves , reclining on pendant boughs , starting out of blue-bells and " the nodding violets , " or weaving their fantastic and volatile dances in the midst of illuminated flowers . Of the acting , it will be sufficient to say that Mr . Hakley perforriSfe Bottom , Mr . IFeank Matthews Peter Quince , Mr . Ryder Theseiis , Miss Mckray Rippolyta , Miss Heath Selena , Miss IjECLerq Titania , and Miss Teuna-x Oheron . —Pizarro now follows the fairy Dream ; so that the spectators go home to bed full gorged with splendours . The King ' s Musketeers is tbe title of a piece founded on the dramatized version of Alexandra Ddmas ' s ' novel Les Trois Mousquetaires , ' ¦ ¦ and produced at the Lyceum on Thursday . The passion of Anne qfAzistria ( Mrs . White ) for George Villiers , Duke of Buckingham , and the wily opposition of ' Richelieu , form the main incidents of the plot . Mr . Dillon performed D'Artagnan , and Miss Woolgar made a success in the part , of the Queen ' s attendant , Constance . Two brief snatches of Italian opera are announced for the last days of October , like the unexpected notes of Spring birds suddenly startling us , on some warm , golden-tinged Autumn day , in the midst of " the waning woods" and plushy fields . Mdlle . Piccolomini proposes to appear at Her Majesty ' s Theatre on Thursday next , the 23 rd inst ., in Don Pasquale ., and the last scene of the first act of La Figlia del Meggimento . On the following Saturday she will once moie shock the Times , the Rev . Mr . M'Hugh , and the old ladies , by performing in the Traviata ; after which , she vanishes across the sea for Paris . The prices of admission will be reduced . —At Drury Lane , some of the old Covent Garden company will appear , on Monday , October 27 th , and during the weet , in six operas , of which the firstfhree will be Norma , II Bai'biere , and Lucrezia Borgia . The performers are—Madame Grist , Madame Amadei , Madame Gassier ; Signori Mabio , Lorini , Uovere , and Albicini ; Monsieur Gassier , Herr Torbies , &c . The prices are to be on . the former Drurtt Lane scale . Xondon will assuredly fancy that the spring has come .
