      The Theatres. Haymarket. A? 3? Mr J M. M...

      THE THEATRES . HAYMARKET . a ? 3 ? Mr J M . Morton ' s never-to-be-forgotten farce of " Box and Cox " Sahavini fully instructed the world how a journeyman printer and a jjoiioiirne > man hatter , resident in one lodging , began by quarrelling nbabout domestic details and ended by mowing eternal friendship , Mr . ^ StStirlino- Govne has shown , by a sequel , entitled "Box and Cox , WAIarried and Settled , " how these fast friends were within an ace of Halfalling back into their original hostile position . In this new piece , forbronghtout at the Haymarket , Box and Cox are provided each with n a wife and infant , having successfully paid their addresses to two wovoun ? ladies rejoicing in the names of Hawes and Dawes . The llaladies , on their first introduction , begin little ominous bickerings ,

      [^ criticising each other ' s grammar , reflecting on each other s origin , sarand so . forth , till at last matters really grow serious by a discovery of a a flirtation that once took place in a railway-carriage between Mr . JJBox and 3 frs . Cox . The said flirtation , it is true , occurred while all parties were in a state of single blessedness , but nevertheless ( cccerram lamentations which are uttered by Mr . Box and Mrs . Cox , iaapropos of the death of a mysterious being named Little Charley , auand which are overheard by Mr . Cox- and Mrs . Box , have the effect oiof exciting -very unpleasant suspicions . A short explanation ,

      howieever , restores harmony . A case , purporting to contain the remains oof Little Charley , is opened , and the revelation is made that the ddeceased object of regret was nothing more than a pet lap-dog . Ifereimpon , Box and Cox have only to rush into each other's arms , and to i renew their vows of eternal friendship , agreeing that this friendship s shall be still farther clinched by the union , some years hence , of the i infant Box and the Mint Cox , who are fortunately of different sexes .

      ' . The piece , like the original " Box and Cox , " owes its success not so i ranch to its plot or dialogue , —though the latter is very smart , —as to i the introduction of numerous visible jokes . The difficulty that Mr Cox experiences when he tries to cut a muffin in which ? Mr . Boon ' . has put a white kid glove , as a tender reminiscence to Mrs . Cox , : from whom he received it in the railway days , —the odd figure which the same Mr . Cox makes when he comes in almost knocked to pieces through a conflict in the street about the ownership of a gingham umbrella—with two or three other droll exhibitions , equally striking

      and universally intelligible , raise shouts of laughter , which receive an additional-impulse from the circumstance that Messrs . Keeley and Buckstone appear in a couple of characters with which they are almost identified . Sequels , as the history of the drama amply proves , have generally proved failures ; but ' Mr . Coyne has been happy enough to produce an exception to the general rule . We will not say that " Chapter the second" in the biography of " Box and Cox" will equal "Chapter the first" in popularity , but we can safely affirm that Mr . Coyne , starting on popular ground , has concooted an exceedingly droll little farce , which is likely to have a considerable " run . "

      LYCEUM . 7 An audience numerous enough to fill every nook and corner of this house honoured the reopening of the Lyceum on Monday night . There were several causes of attraction , firstly , we should set down the reappearance of Madame Vestris , after a long and serious indisposition ; next , the known elegance of the management generally ; and , thirdly , the fact that two new pieces were announced in the bills . The first of the two novelties has not proved fortunate . It is an attempt to treat in the old English style a comedy called "La Chasse cm Roman , '' written by MM . Emile Augier and Jules Sandeau , and produced at the Theatre des Varietes in Febuary , 1851 ;

      the time of action being transferred from modern times to the days of Charles II ., and the dialogue being written in blank verse . A minute description of a plot is , at best , not very p leasant reading , and we may the more conscientiously avoid an infliction of the sort as the success of tlie piece was less than questionable . If we say that Sir Amaranth Fitzape , —an old beau , acted by Mr . F . Matthewsfrom a mere love of profligacy , is anxious to see his nephew Hector ( Mr . C . Matthews ) run into amorous scrapes , and is constantly disappointed by the timidity of his kinsman , we shall have , done all that the occasion reauires . There is neither interest in the plot , substance

      in the characters , nor opportunity for the actors to display their individual qualities . Considerable disapprobation was manifested at the fall of the curtain , and was greatly heightened by a futile attempt to overwhelm it with injudicious applause . The " ayes , " indeed , so far carried their point as to bring Mr . C . Matthews before the curtain , but their victory must be attributed rather to the respect felt for the accomplished actor and manager , than interpreted in favour of the " Mysterious . Lady , " as the new piece is called . The next entertainment was "Medea and Jason / ' a burlesque produced at the

      Haymarket , about eight years ago , when it was intended as a satire on Mendelssohn ' s ^ Antigone , " then recently brought out at Coventgardeii . Thefstory is divided into two parts—one showing the flight of Medea , from Colchis , with Jason , the other setting forth her vengeance for Jason ' s infidelity , as recorded by Euripides , though the catastrophe is rendered less tragic by the substitution of a birch-rod for a dagger when the children become the victims of their mother ' s Tvrath . Except in the tableaux with which each part concludes , and which prospectively represent the departure of the Argo from Colchis , and the flight of Medta in Iter dragon-drawn car , the

      unchanging " stage of the Greeks is preserved , and the action of the drama is carried on in Hellenic style , the part of Chorus being intrusted to Mr . Charles Mathews , who performs his office by singing those chattering descriptive comic songs which were , we believe , first introduced by his late father , andiu which he is now unrivalled . The dialogue of Medea and Jason sparkles with puns , and is perhaps the very best that ever proceeded from the pen of Mr . Blanche , though here and there it wants a little touching up , from the circumstance that some of the allusions , which were palpable when it was written , are not so at the present day . Madame Vestris , who was greeted on her entrance with a storm of enthusiasm , looked , acted , and sang admirably as Medea , and Miss Julia St . George made a smart little

      Jasoii . Strange to say , soma sounds of disapproval were mingled with the applause which followed the termination of the burlesque . Perhaps the poverty of the first piece had so far spoiled the temper of the more critical spectators as to render them hard to please ; for , certainly the writing of the burlesque itself , with the : songs of Madame Vestrisand the " patter" of Mr . Charles Mathews , should have been sufficient to check an excess of rigour , which is most uncommon in a modern audience . While we perfectly agree with the disapprobation expressed with regard to the Mysterious Lady , and even rejoice that something of a judging spirit is awakening in our public , we would warn our audiences not to be indiscriminate in their censure , as they will thereby weaken the effect of their sound demonstrations . The most unequivocally successful piece was the one-act farce called A

      The Theatres. Haymarket. A? 3? Mr J M. M...

      House out of Windows , with which the whole concluded . This farce which is evidently taken from the French , is so far peculiar that none of the actors tread the stage , but all appear at windows and on balconies . The dialogue is the reverse of brilliant , but the adventures of an ardent lover , who , in pursuit of his beloved , lets himself down from the second floor to a balcony by means of a rope ladder ; next suffers the infliction of a heavv shower ; then passes from one balcony

      to another by placing a flower-stand as a bridge ; and finally , when in peril from a persecuting old gentleman , contrives to clamber down a lamp-post—these adventurers , we say , are sufficiently practical | to reach the universal understanding , and each new embarrassment of the inamorato drew down a peal of laughter . The briskness and activity of Mr . Boxby , whose part demands no little gymnastic skill , and Mr . Basil Baker ' s representation of the testy old gentleman , were conducive to the success of this extravagant but slight production .

      SURREY . The purveyors of novelty for the Surrey have not been slow in seizing hold of the emigration mania and its various incidents , but we are sorry we cannot congratulate them as much upon their success as upon their promptitude . Off to the Diggings is a dull hash of the police reports and " Frauds upon Emigrants , " trials of the last twelve months , mixed with stale jokes about cheap clothing , " tips , " and fraudulent betting-offices . The piece is in two acts , in the first of which , some " greens , " English and Irish , are swindled by sham emigration agents several dress-makers become unaccountably , mixed up with the plot . There is a whole ocean of slang talk , then a pantomime row , and after all an universal and amicable arrangement to < ro off to the

      diggings . Iu the second act they are all in Australia , digging , finding nuggets , and getting robbed . The swindlers become the victims of their dupes , or are robbed by the savages , and at last every one who deserves it , is made happy according to the Surrey ideas of poetical justice . The piece was listened to with commendable resignation by the audience , one or two old established jokes received their usual meed of applause , and some surprising gymnastics of Mr , Widdicomb did wonders in keeping the audience iu good humour . It became quite evident , however , after a while , that Off to the Diggings is not destined for a very lengthened vitality .

      Dunlop Street, Glasgow. Last Week Mr. Gl...

      DUNLOP STREET , GLASGOW . Last week Mr . Glover commenced his first season as lessee of this magnificent theatre , to a house such as has been rarely witnessed of late years in Glasgow . Splendid as -was tho theatre More , under tho new manager ' s hands it has acquired a beauty of decoration , and an elegance of style , such as to place it now at the very head of out * British temples of the drama . But Mr . Glover does not intend to trust to the walls alone , splendid as may be their decorations ; for he

      has brought together a company which , for general excellence , we believe to be unequalled out of London . And if the opening night is to be taken as an augury of success , a brilliant prospect is before the manager . Long before the hour for opening of the doors , the place was beseiged by eager candidates for admission . The performance opened wiih the grand overture to Zampa , performed in capital style by the orchestra , now a most effective one . On the falling of the act-drop—a beautiful representation of the celebrated Lake of Como—Mr . Glover was called for * when an appropriate address was delivered

      by him : — The performances that followed call for no particular notice . The first piece was The Two Friends , which is made up of a series ! of misunderstanding *? between two partners—upon the whole a rather tedious affair . The piece , though entrusted to the acting of Messrs , Davenport , Morgan , and Cocker ill , and Misses Fielding and Clifton , went off rather slow . The Painter of Ghent followed , and though but a sketch , it put the audience in better humour ; while the success of John Dobbs , with Mr . D . Fisher as the hero , left nothing to be desired in the way of success . We may further observe , that the ballet corps' for a first night , managed vevy well . All the old favourites received a most flattering reception—Mr . David Fisher especially .

      On Thursday night Love ' s Sacrifice , with John Dobbs , furnished the entertainments . The pit , stalls , and gallery were again , quite filled , wi ' . h a considerable sprinkling in the boxes . Mr . Davenport was excellent as Mathcw Aylmcr , but Miss Clifton was evidently not equal to the part of Margaret . In truth , the only weakness in Mr . Glover ' s other wise excellent corps , is the absence of a good leading female actress in the serious walk of the drama . On Friday night the theatre was occupied by Grisi , Mario , Lablache , and Mdlle . Bertva-ndi in a grand concert . There was an immense attendance , and of course the entertainment went off with great eclat . Shakespeare ' s Othello was performed on Saturday .

      GARDENING CALENDAR . Kitchen Garden . —As a supply of salading is generally in request during the winter , a stock of nearly full grown lettuce and endive should at once be transferred to pits or frames . Where the protection of glass can be given in frosty or wet weather , the above should be kept in reserve for use in very severe ^ weather . Endive i . * J blanched for salads and kitchen use by various means ; but a way we prefer ( after being tied up when perfectly dry ) is , to cover as much as requires blanching at one time with leaves ( procured as dry as possible ) , throwing a long litter over , to prevent them being blown about with the wind . Sow a crop of radish in a frame , for winter . Celery , cardoons , and leeks should be earthed up in dry weather . JJroccolies , borecoles , & c , may still be hoed between , as should winter spinach , thinning it out sixteen inches apart , —Gardener ' s Chronicle .

      Statistics op Emigration . — "A curious change . " observes an American Journal , "has taken place during the last few months in ( he character of the emigration to this counsry . In former years Irish emigration always excepilrd that of all other countries put together , and was more than double that of tlus German emigration . In the year 1851 , tlie whole amount of emigration io thi-i port was 289 , « 01 , the number from Ireland was 103 , 256 , and from Germany 69 , 883 ; thus showing that the Irish more than double tiie German emigrat-on ,

      and was considerably greater than the aggregate of all countries , inchnliii . ? Germany . For the present year , up to the 22 d of this month , the ensisvation las been as ' follows -. —Total , 226 , 976 ; Ireland , 88 , 664 ; Germany , 92 , CPC . The inmw in the German emigration only commeneedwitU the month of Apvit , Irish emigration for March far exceeding it . The number of emigrants from Ireland i » March was 13 , 213 ; from Germany only 3 , 816 . The change , therefore , h : tv taken place during the last six : months , and it is wholly unprecedented in the history of emigration of the United States . "

      Ihe Revenue . —The Revenue returns for the year and quarter ended Ifllh inst ., show a decrease on the the year of 437 , 4 G 7 i ., and an increase on the qiiarter of 28 , 929 / .

      Emigration from Liverpool .- —The emigration from Liverpool this year bids fair to show a very large increase over that of last , or of any preceding year .
