The Egyptian Hall, reopened on Monday last for Mr. Albert
Smith's entertainment, looks brighter than ever. The room is freshly painted ; new views are presented, and the old views wear a renovated look. Nor has the literary part of the entertainment escaped modification. Hol- land is now passed over ; the ascent of Mont Blanc is shown without verbal description ; and, to make up for the omission, there is an entirely new "part," of which Baden with its gaming and its fair is tho subject. As oldfashioned quibblers used to ask, wherein consisted the identity of Sir Francis Drake's ship when a new plank supplied the place of every old one, so newfashioned investigators may ask, wherein consists the identity of Mr. Albert Smith's entertainment, after the alterations made in the course of successive seasons ? We answer, in the talent and good-humour of Mr. Albert Smith himself, which never vary, and in the continuous form which he has kept up from the commencement. Whatever the change may be, you feel that it is the same traveller come to tell a little more.
