weighty , for it would seem that lectures and dioramas now flourish more than anything else on the people ' s well-loved Monday that follows " hot-cross bun-day ' "—if the reader will pardon that involuntary verse . We have , therefore , little to do in chronicling the entertainments that marked the commencement of the -week . Drury Lane openeti its doors for an operatic season ; Verdi ' s Trovtttore , under the English title of The Gipsy ' s Vengeance , being the work which was selected for the entertainment of the Easter folks . Mr . Tully was tbe director of the orchestra . Madame Lucy Escott performed the part of Leonora , and the other principal singers were—Mr . Henri Dbayton as Count De Luna , Mr . Augustus Braham as Manrico , and Miss Fanny Hud dart as Azucena . The musical sketch of Marguerite ( the Marguerite of the " Faust" story ) concluded the performances to the entire satisfaction of the audience . The Spanish Dancers have reappeared at the Haymarket—not , as formerly , in a mere series of detached dances , but in a little ballet , called El Gambusino , containing a story of a Mexican gold-seeker , his perils and his love—a story gorgeously atsurd , and pleasantly proposterous . Of the passionate , red-blooded dancing of the Senora Perea . Nena and her associates , we have hitherto , on more than one occasion , spoken in terms of high praise ; and consequently need now only record the renewal on Monday evening of their long lease of popularity . — The Princess's depended on its old piece , Faust and Marguerite , and on a new farce called A Prince for an Hour , which contains a piece | of drollery for Harley , who plays a love-lorn Italian shepherd of the sixteenth century .- —At the Adelphi , Mr Wright reappeared in two stoek pieces , followed by the Christmas extravaganza . —The Olympic , also , renewed the burlesque , -which , for the last three months , has delighted old and young ; and at Sadler ' s Wells another of Mr . Planche ' s brilliant rainbows of fancy and humour—the Invisible Prince of Macready ' s
management at Drury Lane—was revived by Mr . G . A . Webster ( nephew of the Adelphi Webster ) , who opened the house for a brief season with a version ^ of The Marble Hart , in which Mrs . Leigh Murray and Miss M . Oliver performed . —The Surrey entertained its visitors with a drama of London life 3 called How toe Live in the World of London , founded on Mr . Mayhew ' s inquiries , stuffed full of horrors and startling effects , and revealing to us burglars , pickpockets , and area-sneaks , as virtuous and heroic as the Jack Sheppard—not of the Newgate calendar , but—of Mr . Ainsworth ' s romance . —Astley ' s simulated a steeplechase , with breathless escapes and deeds of daring ; the Victoria rejoiced in two full-flavoured melodramas ; the City of London produced an Israelitish spectacular opera ( to please ladies and gentlemen " of the Hebrew persuasion "); and , at the Standard , Mr . Henry Marstox performed Shakspeare ' s Kiny John . The Exhibitions , as we have said , came out in force . The Polytechnic , the Panopticon , the Great Globe , Burford ' s Panorama , Tussaud ' s Waxwork , &c , attracted large numbers through the whole day by their dioramas , instructive lectures , scientific and artistic miscellanea , Crimean relics , and faithful portraitures of world-famous men and . women , Greenwich Fair was riotous , dusty , east-windy , and drunken , as usual : and ( as Planche once said in a play-bill ) Sic transit gloria ( Easter ) Mundi . THE OPERAS . There will again be two operas this season—thanks to the fire at Covent Garden . Mr . Gyb has taken the Lyceum , the pit of which will be divided between two hundred stalls and two hundred of tlie ordinary seats ; while the two tiers of boxes will be distributed into sixty private boxes . Mr . Lomlby will , re-open-Her Majesty ' s Theatre ; and we understand that he is endeavouring to engage Mademoiselle Piccolomini—a lady distinguished alike for high birth and fine talents .

[ Russian Poland . —A memorial to th . e Emperor of Russia from the nobles of Vilna in Poland , praying for there establishment of the University of Vilna , Tind for the . use of . the Polish language in all the schools of that district , has been sent back without iua answer , though couched in the terms of the most profound loyalty . What are we to hope from the fine measures of benificent reform , for Russian . Poland of which , we have recently been , told ? M . Cousin . — " Some time ago , " says the Debats , " We announced the early publication of a'Course of l-oeturesj by M . Cousm ,... upon the 'Sensualist Philosophy of the Eighteenth Century . ' The work , delayed by causes over which the author had no control , will appeal 1 in the course of a few days . We sfca-te this with pleasure to our readers , who will find iu the ieaohings of M . Cousin , the eloquent defender of spiritualism ; and a wrter firmly resolved to mamta ' n the liberty of the human intellect . " The Prussian Spy Systeji . —A story was current in Prussia some tinie since , tka-t the Kin <• , conscious of the system of espionage under which he lived , had the greatest difficulty , wheu on a visit to the Rhine Ia 3 fc year , ia communicating confidentially with an ex-Minister , who was at the same time one of his Majesty ' s oldest and dearest friends / and afc last thought ifc necessary to appoint a meeting at a railway -station , where the two could converse without fear of intrusion on their privacy . — -Times . SniosiVEs , the Greek forger of MSS ., who liaa lately keen in custody in Prussia , on a charge of fraudulently passing off certain spurious imitations as the genuine Uranios Palirnpserfc , has been acquitted , on the ground that he had not committed , nor attempted zxny fraud upon a Prussian subject , nor in Prussia . The roal culprit as regards the > attempt at fraud is a Saxon . s
