THE DRAMA. JACK AND THE BEAN STALK-the pantomime at this house, is the best they have had for some years; no great compliment, by the way, and so we must mend it by adding, that it is a very passable production as matters of that kind are to be estimated. For the information of such as may not be acquainted with the fact, we shall mention, that Jack the Giant Killer, is a nursery story of considerable antiquity and celebrity in this land of learning.

The best scenes are the Gates of the Ogre's Castle (Dixon); the interior of the same (Marinari); and a Sea-view (Andrews.) There is rather a sameness in some of the tricks, such as the return of an inscription wherever any of the harlequinaders vanish; and the counter-changes depending on puns, or jeux des mots, of a steamshaving apparatus into a lawyer (close shaver); a Daniel's life-preserver into Death, and again into roast beef and porter, the true life preservers, &c. There is also somewhat too much of fine singing. The Ogre was represented in the grandest style by Mr. Hudson, a genuine giant we believe, for we, The Editor of the Madras Government Gazette notices that this melancholy event took place at Ramnad, on the morning of the 10th of March. This writer adds: In Mr. Ellis was united, with great activity of mind, an uncommon versatility of genius. The pursuits with which he was unceasingly occupied, were various and often dissimilar; but on whatsoever his talents were employed, whether the subject was enjoined by duty or prompted by inclination, he manifested the same ardour and the same happy sufficiency. Even his failures exhibited a mind fraught with intelligence and information. With the languages and literature of the Hindoos (particularly the nations of Southern India) he was eminently conversant, and of their institutions, civil and religious-of the habits and modes of thought-of all, in short, that enough for any thing on earth, and at least printers, manufacturers, engineers, artists, potters, &c. rewarded and encouraged by some mark of honour from their monarch, especially when the throne is filled by a prince possessed of so fine a judgment as the Regent. Among Canova's recent models at Rome, statues of a Magdalene, an Endymion sleeping with a hound by his side, and a Nymphi reclining on a Tiger's skin, are much spoken of. Aremarkable effect of Lightning-About twenty years ago, during a violent thunder storm, the lightning struck a pane of glass in a house door, so that the mistress of the house, who was in the hall behind the door, was cast several paces backwards, and thrown on the floor. She however received no injury, nor was the pane of glass broken. The electric fluid had however left upon it a beautiful painting, (if we may so express it,) resembling, on the whole, a head, which was formed of numerous smaller heads. From that time, this pane of glass was never wet with the dew, and never froze, though the other panes were affected by the weather as usual. Great care was taken of this remarkable pane, till some days since it was broken by carelessness; when it appeared that the lightning had split it, making two panes out of one, and leaving in the middle the traces of the electric fluid. Before it was broken no one could see that there was a division. The panes, which are not much broken, were collected as carefully as possible. saw what a little boy near us called "a big | reproach and despair; and when opened fellow," among the crowd in the Menagerie again, only a fearful and appalling void is scene.

This tragedy which we hardly expected to see again, was revived on THE REWARD OF MERIT.-On the 17th Wednesday, with many judicious alterations of November, the King of France conferred and curtailments.

LITERARY NOTICES. An Inquirer is informed, that there are copies of the MONUMENTUM PACIS, which was described in our Number 151, to be seen at Ackermann's in the Strand. We have had more than one occasion to express our very favourable opinion of the works of Mr. James, whose naval and military elucidations of the occurrences of the late American war, possessed all the merit belonging to productions of their class-patient research, diligent comparison, and sound reasoning on well established facts. It is therefore with pleasure that we observe an announcement, from the same pen, of an entire Naval History of Great Britain, commencing in the year 1793, and brought down to the present period. We have no doubt it will do credit to the author, to our brave sailors, and to the country. IMPROVEMENT IN MODERN GREECE.Mr. Theocles Pharmacides, one of the editors of the Greek Mercury, has published a very useful work, containing extracts from most of the ancient Greek authors, and accompanied with very excellent new Greek notes, under the following title: "Elements of the Greek Language, for the use of Greek Schools," 4 parts, in 12mo. Every volume contains a very convenient vocabulary. A valuable work has just been completed at the Madras Commercial Press. It is the New Testament, translated from the original Greek into Teloogoo, by Mr. Pritchett, a learned Missionary. It is in two volumes, comprising 888 pages octavo. The Teloogoo types have been principally cast by Mr. Urquhart, of the Commercial Press, by whom the work has been printed, in a manner very creditable to that establishment. Mr. Urquhart, with a landable zeal, is now actively employed in casting Canarese types for another edition of the work in that language. Maximes et Pensées du Prisonnier de Ste. Helene, a MS. found among the papers of Las Cazes, is the title of a forthcoming work, announced a few days ago in Paris. ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC. with good-will on their side, and sin- world.
