The Hew Management At The Marylebone. (F...
THE HEW MANAGEMENT AT THE MARYLEBONE . ( From a Correspondent . ) This Theatre was reopened on Monday last , under the management of Mr . J . William Wallack , who has collected a respectable company . < e A Cure for the Heartache" is not the liveliest nor the most original of pieces , but being stuffed full of British sentiment , a proper contempt for riches acquired in trade , and a noble leaning towards ruined baronets and brokendown farmers unable to pay their rent , it was received with enthusiasm . II . Vandenhoff , whom many will remember as a well-dressed stick some few years ago at the Haymarket , has xindergone a course of instruction before provincial audiences , and returned to London " a wiser aDd a stouter man . " He played Young- Rapid admirably ; Charles Mathews himself could scarcely have given the character with more vdrve and vivacity . G . Cooke was very much more in his element as Old Rapid the tailor , than in certain aristocratic parts he has lately been playing at the Olympic ; Shalders was clever as Frank Oatiand—but why will he keep up the old conventionality of weeping when his sister is in trouble ? I ' ve seen many a rustic in difficulties , but never yefc saw " their manly cheek furrowed by a tear , " as a legitimate writer would say . Planche " s " Fair . One with the Golden Locks" followed , and was very fairly acted . The Marylebone audience is not as appreciative us that of the Lyceum , and Jokes anent tho Singing Mouse und Jim Crow may , perhaps , he out of date , but the dresses wore Good and the parodies sufficiently
catching to conquer encores . Miss Gordon played with enough of assurance and chic . Miss Garthwaite looked pretty and sang prettily , and Mr . Shalders , not knowing much of the author's language , substituted many words and more grimaces of his own , which oerhaps told better with the gallery . The house was full and the audience quiet ; this , however , is to be attributed to the respectable appearance of the dress circle , as the pit and gallery were more appalled by the sight of white waistcoats and dress coats than by the truncheons of the policemen distributed throughout the theatre .

Smith, On Europe. A Voyageur, Who Has Co...
SMITH , ON EUROPE . A voyageur , who has covered thirty thousand square feet of canvass with a panoramic " Tour of Europe , " in general , and " Ascent of Mont Blanc , " in particular ; who may , with some significance , be said to rejoice in the name of Smith ; and who , while describing his work , occasionally mentions " another Mr . Smith , " in a by-the-bye tone of accidental recollection , and with a magnificent air of approval—such a man as this cannot be suffered to pass by us like the idle wind which we regard not . It is , indeed , the man rather than the painter , who in this instance has engaged our attention . His panorama is not astonishing ; the thirty thousand square feet are the squarest we remember ever to have seen ; there is not a touch of air or
space , positively not one truthful effect to relieve the dry monotony of the " views "—which , by-the-way , are nearly all taken from points of sight , curiously coinciding with the views of Turner , Stanfield , and oilier artists familiar to the public through engravings . With respect to this circumstance we will merely say , that a suspicious observer might couple with it the fact that each scene , instead of being a natural continuation of the one preceding it , begins and ends abruptly , just as if the separate contents of a portfolio had been placed edge to edge and magnified . Mr . Smith lias embellislied a descriptive book , which is a much more entertaining performance than the panorama . They are both dedicated ( that is , the sixpenny book and the thirty thousand ^ square feet of canvas ) to somebody , Esquire , of America . What this book discloses to us—how we leam that the French
Republic never was anything but a military aristocracy , that St . Cloud is pronounced St . Cloo , that Rubens was the master-mind of arfc , andthatSwitzer | and is to a certain extent , the land of liberty > but subject to high winds and dis tressing cases of goitre , it would be out of place here to do more than hint at We must make room , however , for one delicious bit , on tlie subject of Venice , " where Othello dwelt—where Jaffier and Pierre conspiredand where Shylock wanted ' the pound of' flesh . ' Here is the passage , typography and all , exactly as we found it . Venice—" like Venus—from the sea she rose upon foundations that have stood unscathed by wind and wave for centuries ; her long line of dwellings , of stately palaces and churches , whose architectural richness , by Palladio ' s skill , have served as models to an admiring world ; and the painter ' s art , on her vast walls- ^ - ' twas Titian and Tintoretto ' s hands , the gorgeous gilded ceilings ., carved with boldest skill , and polished floors , that would be marble from their hardness
and their variegated beauty , and yet are not . A city , once the soul of gaiety and the seat of commerce—both are gone ! The Gondolier and his . black barge seems of their ancient customs , all that is left , and he sings not as of yore , but silent and still as the canal , through which he swiftly urgeson his course—there is a solemn grandeur in the scene—a melancholy softness ; no rattling sound , no busy hum is heard ; horses there never were in . i Venice , save the bronze horses of St . Marc : many never saw a horse butthose . It is a city , unlike all others , whose history has been a scene of rude broils and fierce contention—dark , bloody , deeds ; the prisons adjoin . ) their palaces , where tyrants could give the word and slaves would execute —a Council of Ten—tho tribunal of the infernal Inquisition—the rack and ' , torture ? Such was the Republic of Venice—the democracy of the fvfteenthi century . O Liberty ! how hast , thou been abused—how been betrayed by this winged lion of St . Marc . ' ' Q ,
