Preparations are proceeding rapidly for the initial performance of the above combinition, which takes place on Thursday next, when the drama "Lost in London" will be produced. The piece is one abounding in pathos and fun. The plot in itself is simple, yet so admirably constructed that the audience follows the adventures of the leading characters with ever-increasing interest, The drama opens in the cottage of Job Armroyd, a rough but honest specimen of the Lancashire coal-miner, who has married a wife far his junior in years, and his superior in education. This gin, wearied by the dreary monotony of her miserable life on the lonely moorland, has listened to the temptings of -the rich mine owner, Gilbert i'eatherston, and finally is persuaded to fly with him to London. It is while in the workings of I the mine that Job Armroyd is informed [of his wife's perfidy, and the scene be- ' comes interesting as liu ascends in the cage swearing to lind his wife, although he should search over the wide world. In the second act we see the splendid mansion of Gilbert Fctherstone iu London, where Neley, though surrounded by every luxury; discovered the fool's paradise she has entered. Then we encounter Job, still in search of his wife, wandering in the snow. By a strange coincidence he discovers the whereabouts of his wife, and bursting through the door dashes into Fetherstone's house during the progress of _ a grand soiree, and claims his: wife in the face of the glittering throng. In 'the last act we see the, death of poor Neley, Armroyd in a cottage provided for her use .by her ever-faithtul husband, Job.' But the play is too . long to particularise minutely. We' can only recoiiiuiend our readers not.to miss this greao drama, attd can assure them chat a great treat is in store for them.
