    Her Majesty ' s Theatre The continued success of the favourite operas , the production of which at this theatre lias been noticed from time to time in our columns , is such as to have relieved us this week from the work of recording any hebdomadal novelty . ' . B"ou Theatee , Hee Majests- ' s Theatbe . —This , least of theatres inside pur largest , reminds oho of the innermost of those boxes within boxes which children delight to open , and which they call " seven in one . " Here is a little Liliputian theatre nestling' in a corner of one of the most gigantic histrionic edifices in the world . It is abundantly comfortable , cosy , snug , and elegant , however ; and forniiiig as it does a sort of department in the old national Italian Opera House , is appropriately devoted to the performance of the favourite pieces of the lighter portion of the foreign drama . M . Talexy who , it will be remembered , engaged the St . James's Theatre for the representation of French Plays at the commencement of last season , has now taken the Bijou , which he opened this week with MM . Emile Augier and Jules Sandeau's four act comedy Le Q-endre cle M . Poiricire , and M . Alexander Dumas ' s piece , Le JkTari . de la J r euve . The leading performers who appeared were Madame Armand , of the Odeon , and il . Chauinont , of tho "Vaudeville . Dbttky-LiAne Theatke . —The performances of the week at this house were varied on Thursday evening by a miscellaneous concert ( the lateness of the week precluding detailed notice ) . The names of Mile . " Vaneri ( who sustains the parts allotted to her in " Don Giovanni" and the Huguenots" with such spirit and effect , both histrionic and vocal , and who is equally at home in the concert-room and on the lyric stage ) , Mdlle . Parepa ; Messrs . George Perren , Rosenthal , Hermanns , and Swift , being in the programme , the last item in which was a ballet divertissement , rendered attractive by the name of Mile . Morlachi being down as the leading danseuse . Between the music and the saltation was " interpolated" the new piece ( noticed in detail in our last ) " Your ' e Another . " The performances opened with " The Bachelor ' s Wife . " . .. ' , ¦ . . ' . . . ' ' ¦ . ¦ Haymaeket Theatre . —We have had Box and Cox at this house during the week , with the inimitable drolleries of Mr . Buekstone and Mr . Cornpton . Miss Amy Sedg . wick has appeared in three of her famous characterisations , namely , in The Stranger , Does He Love Mel and The Lady of Lyons . The new comedy of The . Babes iri the Wood being fixed for Saturday , a detailed notice is necessarily deferred until our next number . Adelphi Theatre . —Mr . J . L . Toole has appeared this week ( as - announced in our last ) , in some of his " convulsing" portrayals of the comic and humorous phases of the life of that " paragon of animals " ( to use the language of " our immortal bard " ) "who has been variously defined as if in reference to the effects produced by Mr . Toole'd delineations , as" a laughing animal , " and apparently in reference to the subjects thenjselves of those delineations , " the ouly animal who has the glorious privilege of making himself absurd . " DinorahUnder Difficultiesr enjoys the greatest , facilities of representation at the hands of Mr , Toole and his able coadjutor Mr . Paul Bedford . lei on parle JFrancais came next , in which the special aptitudes of Mr . Toole , and that excellent artiste Mr . Charles Seiby , are developed to the greatest advantage . A . u reste , the Colleen Baivn ( which , by the by , is pronounced " Colyccn Bawu " ) still holds her own , and draws as much as over . Olympic Tir rathe .- — 'The pieces we have already noticed have been m successful performance during the week at this l . ioiwe . On Monday next Mr . W . Gordon ' s comediotta , entitled , Home for a Holiday , will be produced , in which Miss Louisa Kocley , JMr . it . Wi ^ an , Mr . F . Bobinson , Mr . Gordon , and Mr . II . Oqopor will appear . Mr . Itobson , in JBools at the . Sican , is greater than ever .. Lxoedju ; Theater . —Last Saturday terminated Miss Josephine Gougenhiem ' s engagement nt this theatre , and was devoted to her benefit . Her short but brilliant carcor at this house 1 ms established her reputation as a first rate actress of genteel comedy ; hoy success in The School for Scandel , The Jealous Wife , The IrishHeiress , The Love Chase , &c , haviug been unequivocal and decisive . It never rains but it pours , says the soying , and at this houso it pours novelties . This week The Wept of the Wtsh-ton-Wish lias been revived ; a pioco which Madame Celeste ' s admirable delineation of Noramattah alone is sulUoiont to render in tho highest degree popular and successful . In addition to this , Mr . Stirling Coyno ' s Pe ( s of tho Parterre ( musib by Mr . Lodor ) has boon produced , in which Hiss Lydiu Thompson , the fascinating danseuse , appears to good advantage , the picco being of thp torpsichorean character . Tho Countess of Sfcamevillo ( Miss ML Ternnn ) having coinvuilted the sin of selling horsolf in matrimony to a decrepit old gout Ionian of rhoumatio , gouty or rheumatic-gouty tendencies at tho wicked behest of her father , unmindful of the misery and temptation , not to say tho absolute prostitution , to whioK ho was consigning his duughtor , out of the most selfish and mercenary motives , finds herself suddenly snutohodout of this abyss by tho timely death of the inconsiderate and selfish old fool , who , with ono foot in tho grave , and in tho othor foot the rhoumatio gout , oould bring himsolf to porpetrato the baaonoss of marrying a young girl just out of her toons , All this would be bad enough under ordinary oiroumstanoos , but is heightonod by tho fact , Unit the Countess was in lovo with , and wns beloved by , ono Leon D'Orvillo ( Mr . Neville ) , and the oonsequonoos are that this young man beooxuos all but a maniuo through distress of mind . Tho form his lunaoy takes , however , is a very piotui'oaquo ono ; ho fanoios himself in a world full of talking and walking , and , as it would appear , dancing flowers . Tho Countess , after beooming a widow , retires to her country Boat , whoro sho dovotos horsolf , by a singular ooinoidenoe , entirely to tho cultivation of flowora . By anothor oonveniont ooinoidenoo , Loon D'Orvillo and his Loporollo , Pompone ( Mr . Rouse ) arrive at the ohoatpau of the Countess , where the laokoy renews an amourette with Fanohette ( Mias Lydia Thompson ) an extremely ingenious and graceful ublgnil . After tho fashion , of the old JBYench comedy , in whioh tho serving people manifest the most wondorful invontivenosB , and bring about all sorts of impossibilities , tho gHsotlo and tho valet contrive a nootunnilyWtf , in the shape of a oort of hal masque , whovo tho guests pursonnte various flowers , the ravontreas herself assuming tho uharaotor of Zvphyv , Lpon , who is pro-• ont , eadaonly booomea restored to hie right senses on finding that tho Countess , ( who , by the way , represents Heartsease )! is no other than his early lore , Miss Albertine , whom h « had mourned , as dead , in his father ' *

    ' halls , and so there is a duplicate match between master and man , on the one hand , and mistress and maid on the other . The dialogue of the peice 13 pointed , sparkling , and terse , and the dances excellent ; the ensemble admirable , the piece well acted and danced throughout , and the success decided . We have already in repeated notices awarded the praise it deserves to Miss Lydia Thompson ' s exquisite saltation . Next week , a new play will be produced , entitled Adrienne , or the Secret of a Life in which Madame Celeste will sustain the principal character . p . Stuand Theatbe . — The Post Boy , noticed in our last , " has been played this week with unbounded success , Mr . J . Rogers' personation ofSpurritt being one of the most graphic and original eccentric portraitures seen on the modern stage , and having all the attractions of complete novelty . KenilivortJi , revived with triumphant Buecess , arid Matrimonial Prospectuses , are . announced for performance during next week . Mr . andMks . Charges Kean . —Mr . and Mrs . Kean have been per - forming at Brighton this week , at the Theatre Royal , of which Mr . H . Nye Chart is the enterprising lessee . Louis XI . was produced on Monday , a character which the wonderful delineation of Mr . Charles Kean ha 3 rendered so justly celebrated . Mr . Kean has also appeared in some of his most famous parts . Mr . and Mrs . Charles Kean have been ably supi > orted by the Misses Chapman and N . Chapman , and Messrs . Cathcart and Everett . Previously to their appearance at Brighton they had visited Portsmouth and Plymouth , where their advent was remarked with the most signal success . In Brighton , al t hough the prices of admission were doubled , the house was filled to overflowing . with densely crowded audiences . Thus they will enter upon their engagement at Drury Lane with , if possible , augmented prestige , and fresh laurels on their brows . . ' The Buckley Seeenadebs . — -The popularity of the Buckleys is . undimhushed , and this is specially deserving of note , as showing liow attractive is their , initiative programme ^ in addition to which they have a whole budget of novelties in store , to be produced as occasion requires . The-English National Choral Society and the ¦ French OitPHEONiSTES . ^ -We believe that preparations are thus early being made for a second visit of the Orpheonistes to . London , in the course of next year . On the proposed occasion there will be , we understand , a sort of fraternisation between the Orpheonistes and our English Choral Societies , who , by their picked representations will join our visitors in a graiid festival . " We hope that the great English National Choral Association , initiated by Mr . G . W . Martin , will , under that talented geiitleman ' s efficient training and organization , be in a state sufficiently advanced to make a prominent figure on the occasion . There , is , it seems , to be a rnilitai * y fraternization in Prance , at which bur Volunteers are to take part , ¦ ¦( in which , by the way we should like . to see the musical element provided for in Mr . Or . W . Martin ' s "Volunteer Choral Society for the singing of choral inarches by Volunteers when on the march ); let ua , therefore , by all means , have a purely peaceful and entirely musical fraternization too . CiiYSTAL Palace . —The Saturday concerts have commenced here with brilliant eclat , the vocal and instrumental arrangements being of the most efficient arid satisfactory character . . . ' PolyI'eciinic Institution . —The premises of this institution have , wo understand , been materially altered and improved , and rendered thoroughly secure for the use of the public , as well as re-decorated , and supplied with works of art , models of machinery , specimens of manufactures of tho latest character , and new apparatus . The institution will bore-opened to the public on Monday next . An educational department has been formed , with suitablo class-rooms , for the study of art , soience , and literature , for both male and female pupils . Monday Popular , Concerts . —The third season of this admirable series of concerts will be resumed on Monday , . at St . Jamea ' s-hall . Some of tho great instrumental arid vocal artistes whose names have become associated with these concerts , will appear on the occasion , conspicuous among whom are Mr . Sims Reeves , Mr . Charles Halle '( of Her Majesty ' s Theatre ) , Herr Becker , Mias Poole , Signor Piatti , &o . The programme will contain a highly attractive selection from Weber , Dussek , rind Spohr .
