The Amateur Pantomime. (To Hie Editor Of...
THE AMATEUR PANTOMIME . ( To Hie Editor of the Leader .. ) Sik , —Be kind enough to allow me , through your c olumns , to give up an honouV which I am not fairly entitled to-the authorship of the opening of the Olympic Amateur Pantomime . t ? a ™ ,, * a The original burlesque scene of Guy Fawkes was written by Mr ^ tol Draper for " The Man in the Moon "—a little periodical which I edited m 1848 , Conjoint v with my poor friend Mr . Angus Reach . I have done litt e more , ^ my collaoorlteur Mr . ll , le , than remodel it , according ^ our eXigencies and put in the songs and " business , " and such local or personal allusions as were considered adapted to the audience . Yours obediently , The Fielding Club , April 11 , 1855 . Albert Smith .
Royal Italian Opera. -. . .,, Thp Onera ...
ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA . -. . .,, Thp Onera has begun this season where it left off last August , with Rossini s Uvefy and [ mSodiZS Comte Ory , and a more agreeable and auspicious opening could not be desired . The only change in the cast is the substitution of Gar-SSffo ? Luchesi in every respect a welcome change . Luchesi ' s voice is , SapsTmorfflXible , and his method more Rossinian than Gardoni ' s , but SSnuaStSs belong to the past , and we are not content with renunis-Snce "SS voice is reedy , but sympathetic L he is graceful and prepos-SsS and he has never acted and sung with more intelligence andTin . mation ^^ srsss ^^^^ jsssi ^ zsTzg : ! KS ^^^^ si ' rvF % SmSle flow . As an actress she seems to have everything to learn , except ^
^ the conventional graces of stage deportment . At present she tloe 3 literally nothing , in the most ladylike and elegant manner imaginable . The secondaryparts in the opera were fairly filled , but it struck us that the singers were hardly equal to the volubility of the music in the comic passages . The genuine Italian opera buffa , which the Comte Ory is a delightful example , requires a special style of vocalisation , to the acquisition of which the best singing practice in the compQsitions of the modern Italian . school offers no facilities whatever . Fidelio is to be produced on the occasion of , the state visit next Thursday , with ' the new German prima donna , Aladlle . Jenny Ney ,-as Leonora ; but we are not .. sorry to be reminded by the Comte Ory that Italian opera is something more ' than a name . j A Paris Correspondent of the Independance Beige informs us that Cekito is I engaged at Covent Garden this season as a singer . One must go abroad to ! learn what is going on at home !

The Easter Pieces. We Announced, Last We...
THE EASTER PIECES . We announced , last week , the entertainments which the Theatres had prepared for the holiday people ; and we have now to report the success of all the new fairy stories , extravaganzas , and burlesques in every direction . The piece at the Hayjiakket is of the kind which the French call Revue . All the . great theatrical successes of the past season are represented in it . It is written by the ever-ready and ingenious Mr . Planche , and the principal comic part is acted by the irresistible Mr . Buckstone . What greater recommendations than these . can be advanced in its favour ? The Adelphi gives no less than five fairy stories all neatly compressed within the compass of one extravaganza . Miss Woolgar has some extraordinary transformations of costume and changes of ! character Mr . James Bland does wonders as a flinty-hearted father—and the ladies ( and children ) of the ballet exhibit some excellent dancing . The piece is very carefully and brilliantly put upon the stage . The public of the Princess s lose nothing in losing the music of the Muleteer of Toledo . Speaking from experience of the opera at Paris , we should say that the " libretto' was decidedly the best part of it . M . Adolphe Adam ( the composer of the Muletier de Tolcde , as given at the Theatre Histokique ) has exhausted his musical vein . He can only write conventionalities now of the mock-brilliant kind , which the Frenchthe most conservative and sober people in the world in matters of Artpatiently endure out of grateful remembrance of the composer of Le Postilion . The comic drama of the Muleteer , as given at the Princess ' s , is neatly and elegantly put on the stage , and fairly acted—Mr . Harlet , as a sycophantic courtier , being , o course , as amusing as ever . Sadler ' s Wells rejoices in the Lyceum company , without Charles Mathews ! Mr . Weight , who does nothing but move about now , is making the transpontine public laugh at the Surrey Thevtre The Strand has obtained a discreditable success by a burlesque of King Lear . The author who could parody , the players who could act and the audience which could applaud , are all worthy of each other . 1 Junk of the mental condlfcon of the human beings , before and behind the curtain , at the Strand Theatre ; and then remember that we still persist in sending missionaries to foreign parts ! - .. . . . _
Mr. George Buckland's Patriotic Songs.—T...
Mr . George Buckland's Patriotic Songs . —The directors of the Polytechnic Institution have judiciously added to the attractiveness of their establishment in the eyes of holiday folks , by engag ing the services of Mr . George Buckland to deliver a musical lecture upon " Old English and Patriotic Songs , " with vocal illustrations . This gentleman is giltedTwith that fresh , manly voice ^ vhi ch gives life to a patriotic song T and in such songs as "The Old English Gentleman , " and " Stand to your Guns , " he is pleasing , dramatic , and impressive . — ¦ - k

Money Market And City Intelligence. Frid...
MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , April 13 , 1855 . Settling day ' in Consols has passed off quietly enough . The tendency to fall during tho weok has become more apparent since tho settling . Tho rumour of a considerable loan , sonio say fifteen millions , has kopt the market from any rising , and tho continued diplomatic delays at Vienna have boon added thereto . Even tho most sanguine now begin to give up all hopes of pcoco on satisfactory , torms . The invitation from tho Chancellor of tho Exchequer this morning to tho capitalists of tho City of London to meet him on Monday and arrange tho torms ot a loan , has operated seriously in our m .. rkols to depress them . Turkish Scrip and Consols have fallon again about 1 per cont ., and a further fall may bo expected to-morrow . Railway shares aroalxo dull , but few operations . Foreign stocks aro neglected .

The supply of Wheat since Monday is very moderate , but tho trade remains in precisely tho same dull state as wo last reported . The demand is of tho most retail character , andconlincd entirely to tho supply of tho most pressing wants . Holders , however , do not press sales , and the business done is at former rates . Tho supply of Barley is small , but there is rather loss demand for distillation , and wo cannot therefore report any improvement in value . Tho arrivals of Oats aro only moderate , and there is no alteration in tho value of any description sinco Monday . A few cargoes of Egyptian Wheat havo been sold , arrived and on passage , at 42 s . lor Bohcira , and 43 s . to 40 s . for baidi . A cargo of Saidi Beans , near at hand , has been sold at ; Us ., and another of inferior quallity at 203 . Od . cost , freight and insurance .
