PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.

[Vf(m the Observer's own Correspondent.]

that the summer season is com-
mencing at the different
theatres, the little band-box
in Dean-street (No. 71 A),
we understand, will shortly
be opened. The fair mana-
geress has been recruiting
her Company at the Ser-
vants' Bazaar in Oxford-
street ; and the persons en-
gaged are to meet in the back
kitchen of the establishment
on an early day, preparatory
to the opening.

The alterations since the
last season have been very
extensive, including the lay-
ing down of a new dresser,
which it is expected will
admit of a number of scenic
effects of a peculiar and novel

When stood, her lonely pillow nigh,
A figure more than mortal high ;
And cried—" Behold, my love, 'tis I,"
Heigho ! &c.

All solemnly the spirit said,

Heigho ! &c.
u Away with me unto the dead,"

Heigho ! &c.
" To cool thy passion in the tomb ! "
—" What, ere my days of earthly doom ? "
" No matter ! " cried the shape of gloom,

Heigho ! &c.

Grimly the phantom clutch'd the fair,

Heigho ! &c.
To death's dark realm his prize to bear,

Heigho ! &c.

" Hence ! hence ! " he cried, " ere morning's light j"
" Begone ! " she shriek'd, and with the fright
Woke. 'Twas a vision of the night.
Heigho ! &c.

JUST IMPORTED.

repainted, and the foldin
doors have been entirely
taken away, so that when it
is thrown open from back to
front a splendid area (with
regular area steps) presents itself.

Among the popular pieces to be performed are, the First Floor, the
Double Bedded Room, the Angel of the Attic, and other dramas appro-
priate to the locality where they will be acted.

Mr. Hamilton, who made such an impression in Irish characters,
will probably appear as Teddy the Tiler, which will be got up with real
tiles—the scene being laid on the roof of the wash-house.

The following opening Address will, we believe, be spoken :—

Melpomene, delicious maid, shall be

A real maid of all work unto me ;

And, if a kitchen-maid I should require,

Into my service I will take Thalia.

Bad is the broth too many cooks have done—

Of Cookes, the stage has had, alas ! but one ;

I mean George Frederick—aid, then, I implore ye,

The zealous housekeeper, who stands before ye.

It is contemplated to accommodate the half-price visitors by throwing
open the wash-house a quarter of an hour before the time at which the
half-price is usually admitted.

MPHE AMERICAN ROCKING-CHAIR TABLE so much admired
character. The parlour-win- | by all who have seen it in America, for the remarkable ease, pleasure,
dow, or proscenium, has been I aUt^ comfort which it affords. As an adjunct to the Rocking-Chair it is

A POLISHED POEM.

Young Giles the fair Maria wooed ;

Heigho, alack, and well-a-day !
Flower of the village maidenhood ;

Heigho ! &c.
His pledge this legend bore inlaid,—
Love, that two hearts hath mutual made,
Defies the knife of keenest blade ;

Heigho ! &c.

But keen, alas ! as knives are shears,

Heigho ! &c.
And dubious all our fleeting years,

Heigho ! &c.
The morn that should have made them one,
Fate's shears the bridegroom's thread outspu:
Sever'd ; and bridal there was none,

Heigho ! &c.

Maria sought her couch to weep ;

Heigho ! &c.
Till grief, exhausted, sank in sleep :

Heigho ! &c.

indispensable. Its form is exactly that of an English sofa-table, with the
addition of a bar placed horizontally at a small height above the table,
and which is calculated to afford that rest and elevation to the human
sole so frequently observed in the " smartest nation on Earth."

HENRY BROUCHA1MC,

carrier extraordinary to her majesty the queen of england
and the king of the french,

Has the honour to inform his Patrons, Royal as well as Noble, that he ia
prepared to undertake the

DELIVERY OF MESSAGES AND PARCELS

to and from the Continent.

Henry Brougham, from his peculiar facilities of pushing himself
forward, is enabled to promise extraordinary dispatch ; and he confidently
hopes that he shall soon occupy the amiable position of the

PALACE PICKFORD.
In order to facilitate the communication between his Royal and Illus-
trious Patrons, Henry Brougham has opened an establishment at Cannes,
in France, where he will be present at least twice in each year, calling at
the Tuileries on his way, for the purpose of booking any communication
that may be entrusted to him.
