How to Save Two Thousand Pounds a Yeah. — It is 
stated that Lord Waterford 1ms increased his income 
2.000/. a year under the following circumstances: — A gen- 
tleman possessed of a large funned property, finding the 
funds decreasing so rapidly, became alarmed, and applied 
to Lord Waterford to know if he would take all his capital 
at 3 A per cent. I his Lord 11 aterford has done, and cleared 
oft' his old incumbrances, which were at a higher rate of in- 
terest. The negotiations were closed on Friday. We un- 
derstand that Lord Waterford will clear 2,0001. a year by

MARLBOROUGH STREET. 
Lady Canning’s Jewels. — William Patcson Hunter was 
charged with having annoyed Mr. Rico, stationer, of Clinrlcs- 
street, Ilnymnikct, by posting bills containing offensive matter 
against his shop. — From Mr. Rico’s statement it appeared that 
the defendant, who was a stranger to him, had more than onco 
como into his shop and accused him of harbouring Lady Canning 
and with detaining licr ladyship’s jewels. Now, ho knew nothing 
whatever of Lady Canning, nnd, of oourso, bad no knowledge of 
the jewels. He believed tho defendant laboured under some kind 
of delusion which mado him ineapnblo of controlling his notions. 
As the placards were offensive in their character, and, of oourso, 
an hindrance to his business, lie wished to bo relieved from tlio 
annoyance of tlio defendant’s visits. — Tlio defendant, when called 
upon for an answer, mode a rambling statement to tho effect Hint 
somebody had told him that Lady Canning nnd her jowols wore 
forcibly detained by Mr. Rico, anil lie therefore conceived Jio had 
a right to interpose his good offices to arrange matters, lie did 
not think any one could toko offence at the placards Jio had affixed 
to Mr. Rice’s premises. — As it was evident tbo defendant was 
labouring under some kind of delusion, Mr. Hardwick said ho 
must find suroties to keep tlio peace for a month, as this courso 
would give lime to communicate with his friends. 
SOUTHWARK. 
CnuELTT to A Horse. — James Gallicr, a simple-looking 
countryman, was charged by David Watson, an officer of tlio 
Royal Society for (ho Prevention of Cruelty to Animnls, with 
working a horse that was covered with deep sores, nnd in a stalo 
altogether unfit for work. Mr. A’Bcckctt after hearing evidence, 
said that this was a cose in which it would he wrong that tho 
owner of the horse should escape punishment, llo should there- 
fore order that ho he summoned to appear on Tuesday next to 
answor tho charge; and lie would in tho meantime liberoto tlio 
prisoner on his own recognizance to attend on tlint day. 
DRAMATIC FEUILLETON. 
Pantomimes— Olympic — Standard— Sadler's Wells — The lichtinc of 
stages— Lyceum— Miss Rosina Wright. 
“ Harlequin Columbus ” at tlie Olympic. When I first 
heard that it was intended that the Christmas piece at 
this theatre should be a pantomime, I did not think it wise 
policy on the part of the manager. A larger stage than 
that of the Olympic is an advantage to a pantomime that 
no care or taste can compensate. I think, generally 
ipenking, all the little theatres would do better with bur- 
lesque. It may be observed, that even at the Princess’s, 
where there is far more space behind the foot-ligbts than in 
any of the West-end London theatres, except Drury Lane, 
they cut down tlie purely pantomimic part of their enter- 
tainment to the narrowest proportions, and make tbo 
attraction to consist rather in grouping, dancing, nnd spec- 
tacle, than in the feats of Clown and Harlequin. Having 
said so much, I now proceed to give my opinion of “ Harle- 
quin Columbus,” which lias been got up, as I conceive, 
under disadvantages. The introduction is very good!

of Omnc ignotum, leading to the glories of the kingdom of 
Pro magnifico , we have an excellent painting of the walls 
of Grenada, with a view of the Alhambra, and of the con- 
vent of Rubedn, the presence of which is apologised for to 
the hyper- critics who might object that the said convent lies 
many hundred miles off, by tlie assurance in the bills that for 
this occasion only it lias kindly consented to remove from 
Palos. Here we have King Ferdinand mid his court- 
knights, squires, and monks— all wearing the very best masks 
I ever saw in a theatre; Miss Wyndlmm, as an Andalusian 
beauty, fortunately not masked; and Columbus, attended by 
his little page. Then there is a terrific combat between three 
Christian champions, who are curiously feeble old parties, 
something in the style of the aged generals who may be met 
with m the Senior United Service Club, or who arc usually 
chosen to command our armies in India, and three Moors 
of incredible ugliness. The Christians get the worst of it ; 
but, in their turn, the Moors, and ultimately King Boba.lil’ 
himself, are defeated by Columbus, who receives, as the 
guerdon of his victory, the ships required for his voyage of 
discovery. Next we have the voyage, which includes a 
comic meeting, the arrival at the great Western land - a 
suggestion of cannibalism, in the shape of a pie, offered for 
the refreshment of the strangers by the Cacique of the 
country, from the crust of which two pairs of infantine legs 
protrude ; an Indian dance (which is not pretty); and then 
the comic business. On the whole, the introductory part 
oi the piece is very good fooling— the masks alone bein- 
worth a visit to the theatre; but the remainder is more 
mediocre than I should have expected would have been tlio 
case here. I can say little in favour of either Clown or 
Harlequin, but, en revanche, Columbine (Miss Wyndlmm) 
is charming; such a face and figure arc rarely seen on the 
loards. I was sorry to hear that, the day after my visit to 
i ir i *' U1 P 1C ’ s^e sprained her ankle by tripping over a 
half-closed trap, and consequently her place is now filled 
by Miss Hendrade, also a very pretty girl. 
I was only half successful in an attempt I made to visit 
the two great Enstorn theatres in Shoreditch — the City of 
London and the Standard. Being close together, I thought 
that, as time is precious, I might contrive to “double” 
them ; but I could not find a place in the former, and only 
with difficulty in the latter. “Plum-pudding and Roast 
Beef, or Harlequin Ninepins and the King of the Island of 
Game,” is the title of the Standard pantomime, and a very 
good one it is. I shall not attempt to give a lengthened 
description of it, for really it is impossible to detail the 
stories of all tlie Christmas pieces in London—" that wny 
madness lies.” I shall merely say that, the getting up nnd 
decoration (especially the transformation scene, which is 
really beautiful) do great credit to the proprietor, Mr. 
IlntlirlUC niKl lirSV.a 1.1 _ 1 • . 1 1 
Douglas, mid would astonish people who imagine that • 
coarseness and vulgarity predominate in these Eastern 
localities. 
I can’t pass over Sadlers Wells, with its « Harlequin 
Tom Thumb, or Gog and Magog, aud Mother Goose's 
Golden Gosling, so shortly, because if not the best, it is 
certainly second to no pnntomimo in London. Sadlers 
Wells, under a double management, possesses a double 
speciality; manager No. 1, gets up a tragedy— Slmkspenre, 
or some grand old work by Ford, or Shirley, in a style • 
L'se/it, your worship, in which, it it could be, at least is not rivalled elsewhere • 
e 01.1 Bailey in support 1 while manager No. 2, leaving the tragic muse to his co- 
llie prisoner) , Well, partner, has not his equal for bringing out a pantomime.
