    . pei-quisitee , the business-like distribution of programmes withe charge , upon the principle adopted in all respectable concerts ; tli ( are no inconsiderable elements in the sum total of playgoers' comfo There ai-e theatres in the world , that we could narnej at which t visitor is actually fined sixpence for the privilege of knowing t names of the performers and the dramulis persona—that bei the charge of a " bill of the play : " \ Ye verily believe th the harpies and Barabbaa himself . -were but antitypes those sleek impersonations of predatorineas and imposition , w ' can never find a seat for the visitor who has Y'aul once alrcac until he finds out that an additional payment is the only mca of quickening their power of discovery , and that when that is . fort coming their eyes are suddenly and miraculously opened , and C £ perceive whole rows of vacancies that were invisible to them befoi Thus tho payment at the door only admits to the theatre , that is 1 the passage and the lobby ; another payment is a condition preceden . and a sine qua -non' to the ; acquisition of a seat . "Oh ! reform altogether , " as Mr . Webster has done . We merely look at tl question here from the business point of view—in a commercial ligli Payment for anything twice over upon any pretence , directly c indirectly , is bad upon principle . We do not wish to go into the evL arising from favouritism , and undue preference incident to the perqti : site system ; but a poor man , who can just afford to pay for his seat ouc < is , by this system , placed at a disadvantage in favour of tlie rich mat who , besides , can bribe the attendants in addition to the legitimat charge . Then there is the impertinent civility , the courteous insolence whenever the expected largess is not forthcoming . Again we say , " form it altogether , " as Mr . Webster has done . Let the attendants b paid once for all by the management , and let part of . the duties the ; are paid for be attention and civility to the visitor , without fee or re ward ; and let a , proper programme of the performances go with ; seat , as a matter of course * . : I / rcETnvr Theatre . — -At this house novelties being the order of tin day , a week ' without some novelty would be no inconsiderable novelty in itself . The first novelty of the week was , T / ie MidAy Ashofe , witli tlie fascinating danseuse , Bliss Iiydia Thompson , in the character , ©; Harry Halcyon . There was no diminution in the . popularity and : attraction of the other pieces and the artistes appearing in them , sc fully noticed in our last , during that , pai-t' of the week apportioned to their continuance . . But variety is charming , and on . Thursday we had the Lone Chase , in which Miss 0-Ougenheini , as the heroine ,, has added fresh laurels to the wreath she has won so well and wears so gracefully . She was admirably seconded by : some of tlie leading members of the numerous and powerful company of first-class artistes whom Madame Celeste hag assembledat her admix-abl y managed : theatre ; notforgetting Mrs . Keely , Mr . George Vaning , Mr . ¦ Xyori , and '"' the new actor , ifr Neville . There was also ait additional ancl a two-fold novelty qti Thuirsday , in the first appearance of' Miss Rose Howard ( an artiste who , in the double capacity of singer and actress , had attained a high reputatipp in Ameriea ) as Prancine in Grist to the Mill , revived under the personal superintendence of its talented author , Mr . Planche * . At this late period of the week , hoTveverj our space being occupied compels us to defer a detailed critique until our next impression . Therei is no end of novelties at this theatreV On Monday a new piece , entitled The JPioneerSyis ; to be brought out for the : purpose of introducing to the London , public ? another of the new" importations from America announced in the preliminary nptice- — -in the person of Miv Watkhis . In addition to this , two iio . w pieces ai-e in preparation , the advanced stage of rehearsal having been already arrived at , and pno pf wliicli will afford , a vehicle for the incompai'able talent of Miss Xydia ThpiniJsonV ' Sadmb ^ s W $ xiz $ i— -Mr .

    ut mandie , " and " Robert , toi que j'aime , " with a felicitous grace of so delivery , and a degree of feeling and expression never surpassed . Some rt . favourite part songs , including Mendelssohn ' s "Oh , hills ! oh , Vales !" lie were sung by the chorus . Mr . B , Wells' flute solo " Malbrook " was Lie encored , when he substituted " the Tln ^ ee Jolly Fellows" an old English ig air . Mendelssohn ' s violin concert in 3 < J minor was excellently performed at by M . Buziau . The great orchestral works gn-eu were Mendelssolm ' s of Italian Symphony , and overture to . Ruy Bias , and Rossini ' s overture to 10 Iia Gazza Ladra . Mr . Alfred Gilbert was the pianist . It will be seen y , from the initiative already given that tlie people ' s philharmonic concerts ia bid fair to be ranked as the best series of the kind , both for the colossal a- proportions of the scale on which they have been undertaken , and the n excellence of details , that we have yet seen established in London ; e . Dr . James Pech ^ who , we understand , originated the idea of these cono certs previously to their establishment , is the conductor and musical ty director . For Thursday was fixed the production of Beethoven ' s ifc symphony in A major , and his overture to " Ooriolanus , " with a miee cellaneous selection of the most attractive character . r Tiie Buckleys in" LoNDOX .- ^ -Who and what are " the Buckleys ?" 3 who , with Miss Julia Gould , constitute a noun of ' multitude , or a plural unit , or a multiple duality , . which seems to bo universal , , , ubiquitouSj and protean ; liere , there , anel everywhere at once , and in , all sorts Of characters . The Buckleys , as far as we can learn by the iu-3 formation of our eyes and ears , are a tronpe of melodious " niggers , " f with the style and voices , and cultivation of Italian artists—they area brass band ; they are an opera company ; they are comic a " nd * senti-> mental balladists ; they are capital solo instrumentalists ; in their r hands , the " bones" are almost made to sing and produce ; eff ' ects of crescendo and diminuendo , as we can fancy the necromantic chin-: ! t player of a former generation used to do , to the astonishment of our ancestors . To employ a geographical solecism , tlie cremdha of China , in the hands of the Buckleys , gives forth the ''¦ Carnival de Venise " , from its one string with extra-Paganinian power of effect . They have a repertory of burlesqiies of standard operas , and a whole book ' -full of . songs ; containing some pieces as remai'kable for their exquisite pathos ; as others are for their literally hai'rowing drollery ; they compose their own mu 9 ic ; they adapt their own ; arrangements , and arrange their own V adaptations ; they have a miniature but highly effective orchestra' ( including a piaino ) which goes . with the regularity of clockwork ' .-without the farce of a conductor ; they make jokes , which are a treat tp hear , from their aptness , simplicity , and smartness , to say nptliing of novelty ¦ and originality ; they . are . singers and actors of no ordinary talent Jin , sh , they do everything , taking the public by storm wherever they go , included . Miss Julia Gould has a fine voice , well cviltivated , and ¦ combined with considerable : histrionic power . We should be . disposed to say that , the musical and dramatic abilities displayed by the company , were above the roles iii which they are exhibited , did they not possess the power of elevating a subject to their own level instead of deseehding to that of their subject . .
