Cocknies in California, a farce lately produced at the Adelphi,

is an at- tempt to represent dramatically the inconveniences which are said to occur in the new Eldorado. The never-failing expedient of transplanting a Cockney family to a region totally different from that which is cheered by the sound of Bow-bells is adopted, probably for the hundredth time; and the pantomimic talents of Mr. Mitchenson, who plays an ape Is la Mazu- rie,r, are brought into action. There is not much in the piece; but as it is the embodiment of a popular topic of the day, it may prove attractive.
