PnorESson Risley. — This extraordinary artiste, with his talented company, completely took the house by storm, yesterday evening, at the Theatre Royal. The acrobatic feats were truly wonderful; M. Devani's performances alone being worth the money paid for the whole entertainment. Mr. Kisley's reputation is too well established to need support from our journal.

Since then we believe he has travelled over, as he says, three quarters of the civilized world, and has always met with a generous reception. We have only space to say that the musical portion of the entertainment was most successful ; and that "Master Charles" showed himself ta bD a true "Chip of the old block" — his songs and •'Stump Speech" manifesting extraordinary precocity.
