Leaving private theatricals, we have only to report of the
public per- formances for the holyday week, that Pantomime is the order of the night on the 26th, at all the theatres except the Haymarket: the short re- maining terns of its season notjustifying the production of any novelty, 0.

The Great Bed of Ware, at Covent Garden, is expected to bring forth a comical progeny, the Merrie Devil of Edmonton having got between its expansive sheets ; there will be no sleeping for the au- dience on its pillow. At Drury, Jack Sheppard will take rather a cir- cuitous route to Tyburn; for Mtusn.to. is painting a "diorama of Cir- cassia and the Overland Passage to India" apropos to his career. And at the Adelphi,- YATES has 'unlisted Aloe/ter Red-cop into the service of Harlequin.
