The Christmas bill of fare will be something like this—At

the Lyceum, there will be a burlesque called the King of the Peacocks, written by Mr. Planchd; at the Haymarket, a burlesque on the Arabian tale of " Prince Camaralziunan," written by the brothers Brongh (authors of The Enchanted Isle); at the Princess's, a pantomime called Bluff King Hal; and at the Olympic, a pantomime, also from English history, called Harlequin Harold. Sadler's Wells, Astley's, the Surrey, and the Victoria, will all be open in full force. By the production of The Haunted Man, the Ade1phi seems to have anticipated Christmas.
