The Week.

of " Vandyke Brown , " Miss Ida AVilton , 'as Mrs . Brown , takes the place of Miss Ternan with gi'eat success . A new piece in one act has been produced during the past week entitled " Which of the Two ? " which turns upon the funny situations produced by the astonishing likeness between two pages of the Russian imperial court , which two characters are played with great spirit by Miles . [ Charlotte Saunders aud Maria Simpson . The acting was exceedingly clever , and brought

down repeated applause . At the close of the piece Miss Simpson , Miss Saunders , and Miss Wilton , with Messrs . Bland and Turner , were brought before the curtain , amid a round of applause . Mr . Swanborough , in compliance with loud and repeated calls for the author , stated that it was written by Mr . J , M . Morton . At the Surrey Theatre the Easter novelty is entitled " Oceola , " and is founded on Captain Mayne Reid ' s recent novel of the same name , which has earnt a fair [ meed of praise from the reviewersand found its way into most circulating libraries .

, The wrongs endured by the American Indians by the onward progress of the white man supply the theme for the adapter , and admirable skill has he shown both in the arrangement and development of his story . Mr . Creswick enacted the part of the hero with his usual care and discrimination , bringing to it not only much manly vigour , but a delicacy of feeling and sentiment which told well with the audience . Mr . H . Vandenhoff looked well as Anns Ringgold , and infused a

sufficient amount of the demon into that character to carry out the idea and intentions of the author . The heroine was well sustained by Mrs . Hudson Iurby , and to Mr . Wright ' s clever acting as a Yankee militiaman , Mr . E . Marshall ' s highly amusing delineation of a negro coachman presented a very agreeable relief . The new scenery , painted by Dalby , was very beautiful , and the stage appointments and general getting up highly creditable to the management . The music also , by Mr . Jolly , was appropriate and pleasing . At Astley ' s Theatre , Sir Walter Scott has again been laid under contribution to furnish the subject of the Easter spectacle

, and the efforts of the adapter of " Ivanhoe" ( Mr . Fox Cooper ) have been ably seconded by a liberal management aud extra care on the part of the actors . The part of Rebecca is played by Miss Bathurst , who made a pleasing first appearance . The character of Isaac , the Jew , was sustained by Mr . Holloway with great energy and immense applause ; and the acting of Mr . W . Worboys as the Pool , elicited repeated bursts of approval . The celebrated scenes in the circle , which are more immediately in keeping with the character of the amphitheatre

, follow ; and the talented members of the Cooke family distinguish themselves b y wonderful and almost alarming acts of equitation . Miss Emily Cooke astounds the Easter folks by her leap through thirty-six balloons , and Mr , John . Henry Cooke shows marvellous skill in managing and riding four fleet coursers . The amusements are enlivened by the drolleries of Mr . H . Hemmings as Clown .
