As is usual during. the first run of the Christmas Pantomimes, the past n week has been a reek of repose, and no further novelty has been pro. dnced or is even announced. Both the great houses have been surprisingly well attended, and the harlequinades go off very smoothly. Covent Garden is rather the best off in tricks and changes ; while at Drury, the scenery, and above all STANFIELD'S magnificent Diorama of Swiss Views, surpass almost every thing of the kind we have seen. Mr. PE AKE'S Irish blarney in the " speaking opening" at Covent Garden has not been found so "pat" to the purpose as had been expected ; and KE E LE Y, as Harlequin Fat, has been substituted for Pow ER'S Hark.. quill Pat. Miss Isv ERARVVY and Rossnet's Cinderella are gaining on the public, and our fair debutante is always unanimously encored in the finale. Mr. Mona.° s's Henri Quatre has been revived at Drury with success ; MAcaEAny's personation of the hero may be considered one of his best performances. His Werner continues to gain applause, and is likely to hold its rank in public estimation. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria were present at Covent Garden on Fri. day ; when the Pantomime was played early in the evening, for the accommodation of the juvenile visiters.

Mr. KEMBLE and his daughter were to perform last night and tonight at Brighton, in the Stranger and the Provoked Husband. They will play here on Monday in Romeo and Juliet, and on Wednesday in the revived tragedy of Fazio. At Drury Lane, Mr. RENNET'S version of Hernani is in active preparation, and may be expected to appear after the holydays. We have heard of no other pieces.

THE Misoa THEATRES are all exhibiting placards flaming with novelties in dashing red letters. We can but slightly enumerate their various claims to notice.

THE LITTLE OLYMPIC will hardly know itself again : having been so long doomed to dull performances and dingy audiences, the ray and respectable appearance both of the stage and the auditors every evening since its opening on Monday last, must be welcomed as a happy change. The strength of Madame VESTRIs'S company lies in the fair and feeble sex ; of which herself, Miss FOOTE, and Mrs. GLOVER are the chief. The men are but just sufficient in number and quality to fill up the necessary coadjuting parts. The performances of the week have been —1. A new historical burletta celled Mary Queen of Scots, in which Miss FOOTE performs and beautifully looks the unfortunate heroine ; and Mr. FREDEUICKS as Lord Douglas, in his Elizabethan costume, reminded us of Leicester and Raleigh; 2. An allegorical burlesque of Olympia Revels, in which Madame VesTars exhibits to advantage as Pandora ; 3. The Little Jockey, with Miss FOOTE again; 4. Clarissa Harlowe, to introduce Mrs. GLOVER.

THE ADELPIII has had nothing new since our last; but the pantomime is universally allowed to be the best of the season.

Tux SURREY also has been successful in the production of an amusing pantomime, under the superintendence of Mr. W. BAR RYXORE. The New Year's GiA or Harlequin Jack of Newbury, is founded on a well. known story of the times of Queen Bess, and is pleasantly worked out, with some very good scenery. A new sea-saw drama was produced with applause on Monday, under the title of Nancy of Portsmouth. The house has been entirely redecorated within these two weeks, and presents a very handsome appearance.

Conouna.—Harlequin Silver Penny is rather a good pantomime; the scenery of which, in particular, does credit to the house.

THE FRENCH COMPANY commence a new series of performances on Monday, at the Haymarket L'Heriti?re, Jean, and Le Bouffe et Le Tailleur, will be the first night's entertainment.

OPERA NOTICES.—PASTA, MALIBRAN, and DAVID are engaged. The arrangements for the season are as yet scarcely complete : we believe, however, that the new, and, as it is termed, entirely original opera seria, by a British composer of the name of MONCK MASON, which was only postponed last season on account of the late King's death; is fixed for an early week in April.
