. AJND ' » K ^ JT . —IMMENSE SUCCESS of ROB ROY a-nd BLACK-EYED SUSAN --NOTELTIES in PREPARATION . In assuftiinK the management at Christmas last of the largest Thea&e in London , Professor ANDERSON pledged himself to the Public to produce the most gorgeous , and if pos .-ible , the best Pantomime of the Season . Efficiently to carry out that pledge , he determined to spare no cost , nor fail to avail himself of whatever talent he could discover and command liis engagements were made for a period of sis weeks , over whieli term he did not expect the Pantomime to run . Encountering many difficulties in producing a Pantomime at a liouse where none had been for years—where nearly all the machinery had to be constructed , and every " Dfonertv " to be made-tUe . "BELLE ALLIANCE ; oj , the ^ FuEtDOF TiiE Cloth of Gold , " was placed on the stage at an outlay of nearly ; £ 7 , O 00 , and was at once recognised by the Press and by the Public as being worthy of the house at which it was presented , and the unprecedented expenditure incurred in its production . Its popularity h-. s increased at every representation . At the present moment , after a run of forty nights , between 2 , 000 and 3 . O 0 O persons pay nightly at the doors to witness its grote'ijue incidents , ' its gorgeous jappointments , aud its magniticent' Ecenery . The Operatic Drama of Hoi ) Roy , and the ever-popular MelorDrama of Bldck-Eycd Susan , produced as th « y have been at a cost as lavish as that bestowed on the Pantomime , have achieved an equal amount of success . Within , the walls of Covent Garden larger audiences are assembled every evening than in any other theatre of Europe ; vrhile the fashionable character of the attendance , and the applause bestowed on the performances , ratify the fullilment of the promises made by the lessee at the commencement of the seasoa , and warrant his indulging in self-congratulation at having accomplished a triumph , in the way of successful management , tinder these circumstances he lias had no hesitation in arranging with the Directors of the Theatre for its occupancy until it is required for the purposes of the Royal Italian Opera at the commencement of the next London Season . The extension of his lease has been most courteously accorded : to him , and increased facilities granted for producing various novelties . Tlie Pantomime , on account of its great success , will be repeated nightly ; Rob Roy and Blaek-Eyed Susan will be performed on aLternate nights until further notice ; the same attention which has been paid to their production as regards scenery , costumes , and other accessories to effect , will be paid to everything else produced under the present management . The Dramas which will succeed these will shortly be announced , and the renewed season of the present management will terminate with the production of ENGLISH OPERA on a grand scale , introducing the whole of the available English musical taleat to be fopnd in Great Britain . On . MONDAY , February 11 th , will be presented BLACKEYED SUSAN . William , by Professor Anderson , and Susan by Miss Harriet < 5 ordon . On TUESDAY . February 1-2 th , ROB ROY . Rob Hoy McGregor .

The case was therefore dismissed ; but the prisoners will of course be sent to Liverpool for trial at the assizes , on the charge of forging the will .
