HUNGERFORD HALL.

An entertainment quite of the "Christmas" kind has been opened at this new and enterprising place of amusement, under the designation of "Optical Illusions." The name may not improbably raise mistaken ex- pectations ; yet it is not a misnomer : for thero are few conjurors who can more effectually illudc the eyes than M. Langlois, in his " Soirees Illysterieuses." To him succeeds "the Indian Juggler, Djalma," with feats of consummate dexterity in the plate, bottle, and ball-throwing line : and the evening closes with dissolving views, (in which, by the way, that used-up region Palestine is used over again once more,) and Chinese fireworks. The theatre of Optical Illusions and a Boxing-night company would do and receive reciprocal justice.
