Liverpool , is now in the full swing of its prosperity , and both attendances and sales are larger , at this date , than in any previous year . The quality of the pictures generally is above the average , and when time anel space permit , we may take a passing glance at one or two of the more conspicuous in the gallery .
" J . A . J . " suggests , in the Echo , that a box for the reception of donations for the Colliery Disaster Fund be placed outside the Mansion House , by the side of the Princess Alice Fund box , so that contributors may follow their own inclination in the disposal of their benefactions .

noiseless stride forward . There was a slig ht shiver in the white object , and a muttered noise was heard ; a sec and step followed , not i | uite so steady , anel another niutlled ejaculation ; but at the third stride Shakespeare's disembodied form sat plump down upon the floor , and swore like a British army in Flanders . —Hornet .
Dramatic Notes.
DRAMATIC NOTES .
GLOBE TH EATRE . —This theatre opened for a season with a new two act drama , entitled " Mayfair and Ragfair , " by J . Mackay , and with " Les Cloches de Corneville , " transferred from the boards of the Folly . Of the latter piece , I have already said my say , and I have nothing to add . Of the new drama I cannot say much ;
there is indication of a good anel pretty story , and matter sufficient for a full three act drama , but the author was tied down to two short acts , and not to exceed one hour in acting ; the consequence is we get a thin synopsis of a drama , a very skeleton with all the beauty of sui face gone and no fat . Mr . Fernandez , especially engaged to play
the principal part—that of the Jew " Mopus Mo "—neither does justice to himself as ^ a good actor , which he is , nor to the part , which is a good one . Miss Fanny Enson played the part of " Esther , " the Jew ' s daughter , very creditably , and Mr . Graham made the most of his part—a character that well delineated would have made its mark .
EGYPTIAN HALL . —Mr . Maskelyne's new musical automaton " Labial , " is certainly a great improvement on " Fanfare , " but neither of these new inventions can vie in cleverness and ingenuity with " Pshyco " and " Zoe . " As an inventor and constructor of automatons , Mr . Maskelyne has certainly no rival in Europe , and I , for one , would not undertake to prophecy where his inventive
genius will terminate . It would not surprise me to learn that Mr . Maskelyne had an automaton of himself in preparation , who , when complete , would undertake Mr . Maskelyne ' s own duties , leaving him tvithout rare in his own study to invent automatons of Mr . Cooke , Mr . Ring ,
and other assistants—he need not produce an automaton audience , for the Egyptian Hall will always be full of lively and appreciative ones . The new boxes , ttwse on either side of the hall , arc a great improvement , and were certainly needed , for Mr . Maskelyne has more admirers every night than he has accommodation for .
