Christmas Literature And Pictures. Puncl...
more especially do we protest against the moral of the story called " The Stone Tower , " in which a youth is smashed to pieces for working on a Sunday . We are also inclined to quarrel with the overheaped " wordiness " of the literary style , even though it be sometimes a plethora of good blood , for it must be admitted that a great deal of grave , earnest , German beauty shines through the somewhat German idiom of the English . Saving the pious whine before alluded to , there is a great deal of moral sweetness , combined with picturesque description , in the tale called " Zaccheus . " A distorted and ugly dwarf , with a noble soul , undertakes to go up among some savage giants inhabiting high and perilous mountains , to convert them to Christianity ; and he succeeds . He is thus represented , Bible in hand , climbing a steep ravine : — His book , meanwhile , he carried with infinite difficulty in his arms , laying it ( as you may have seen some little three-year old child going up stairs burthened with a darling dog or cat ) tenderly and carefull y on each step , to which he himself afterwards climbed ; and thus , painfully lifting it , and after it his own poor , crooked body , from step to step of this rough staircase , worn by the white feet of the water in the everlasting rock , he at length reached the summit of the pass ; and when the rosy flush of the morning was injected , like life-blood into the cold sky , its lovely tint felt soft and warm on the wan face of the wearied dwarf , who had sunk exhausted on the grass of the valley , and lay sleeping on the very edge of the precipice up which he had so bravely climbed . Puss in Boots . Illustrated by Otto Speckter . New Edition . John Murray-The charming nursery tale , familiar to all of us , is here charmingly illustrated in a little eighteenpenny book—a perfect gem of a present for the young ones . Otto Speckter is a German artist ; and his drawings have the true German perception of the grotesquety ideal . To look them over is like getting into a perfectly new region—a sort of grey , sunless , shadowless , old-world state of things , seen through a film of hovering , dream-like romance . The cat , too , is admirably discriminated and dramatically varied through the different adventures .

Madame Jenny Goldschmidt Ljnd At Exeter-...
MADAME JENNY GOLDSCHMIDT LJND AT EXETER-HALL . Madame Jenny Goldschmidt Lind has returned to us somewhat thinner in person , and perhaps somewhat worn in looks , but the voice is j unimpaired in beauty and the sacred fire of her art burns brightly as in the i former time . In the Creadon and in the Elijah she has displayed the very , highest qualities of a wonderful organ , and of the most perfect discipline and cultivation in its exercise . In all passages demanding power and intensity of , expression , her genius is supreme . I It . is impossible not to regret that so consummate a dramatic artist should i be lost to the stage , but it is easy to perceive that , in Escter-hall , Madame j Goldschmidt is inore at home than on the boards . ( 1 The performances of the oratorios have been on the whole satisfac- ] < tory . A more admirable conductor than M . Benedict , or one more congenial 1
to Madame Goldschmidt could not be found ; and he has already corrected in a great measure those deficiencies in the chorus and the orchestra which were a little too conspicuous at first . Miss Dolby has , once or twice , almost divided the applause of the crowded audience with the biiiSfidaire j Mr . Lockey is always pleasing , conscientious , and correct ; and Mr . Hamilton Bra ham ' s recitation is so effective that , if he would but renounce singing , he might almost justify his name . Mr . Mitchell announces the Creation for Thursday next .

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . London . Friday livening , Dec . 21 , 1851 . , The Consols market since last week him kept up very i firmly . Tlic new Swedish alliance treaty and Omar l ' acliii s reported victory at Kutais contributing to counteract the ' erfeot of certiiin real snlc of atook by tlio Government Broker . The Uonr party hardly yet despond , but the infatuntlon of the people who will still bolie ^ c In peace—on no anffloient grounds—tempts thorn to buy in all the markets in a recklc . ia manner .

Next Week At The Theatres. The Pantomine...
NEXT WEEK AT THE THEATRES . The Pantomine world is in full activity of preparation from Bow-street to Sadler ' s Wells , from the Strand to Shoreditch . All the world ( except the blind man ) must be aware by this time that Professor Anderson has taken the Theatre Ifoyal , Covent Garden , " ( how pleasant it is to hear the old name again !) tov the production of what his advertisements modestly describe as " The Pantomine of 1855-1856 . " We have glanced at the programme . " of " Pantomine " which is entitled , " Ye Belle Alliance ; or Harlequin Good Humour and the Field of the Cloth of Gold , " and a very learned production ( pace Charles Kean ) it appears to be . The subject seems a'little faded , but it is a pleasant one enough , and affords ample opportunities for the patriotic and national " business . " We can scarcely expect too much from the genius of the Wizard and his acute experience in mechanical contrivances on so magnificent a stage as Covent Garden . And when we add that the Pantomine has been invented by Mr . A . Haruis ; that Mr . Beverlky has painted the scenery ; that the music is by Mr . Loder ; and that the Clown is Mr . Flexmoke , we have said enough to stimulate the curiosity of our readers . At Dkury Lane we are promised " Jley , Diddle , Diddle , " a sufficiently vague and expansive title , but full of promise to the " younger branches of the family . " Tom Matthews and Boleno are the two Clowns . The Havmarket Bill is very promising . " The Butterfly s Ball and . the Grasshopper ' s Feast ; or Harlequin and the Genius of Spring ; suggests something more delicate and dainty than the ordinary Christmas fare . The pretty Miss Mary Brown is the Columbine again this year . We have heard that the drawings for the insect costumes in the Butterfly Ball have been prepared with peculiar care , and are very elaborate and fanciful . ^ The Adelphi as yet announces only a " Christinas Novelty . We believe this novelty is an extravaganza " from the pen of the best of our burlesque writers , founded on the undying- old history of " Jack the Giant Killer ; " and we have also heard that Madame Celeste herself will personate " Jack . " . The Olympic promises a Fairy piece ; and B . the little strand , " Harlequin Bhick-eycd Sue ; or All in the Downs . " Sadler ' s Wells , of course , has a good old , traditional pantomine , and a merry one , we will be bound . And so , once more , the theatres which echo all the yenr our vices , a «« . ° " follies , and our struggles , will be sunny with the harmless looks and bright with the laughter of a thousand homes . Happy is the man who has the iieart to enjoy Boxing Night .
