SERJEANT COX, ON BEHALF OF PRIVATE BOX.

P.S.--Mr. JEROME'S new piece (which he describes as "comparatively

speaking, new and original"), just produced at Terry's Theatre, is

rather disappointing. Its title of _New Lamps for Old_ strongly

suggests a "Night's Entertainment." But when the poverty of the plot and

the quality of the dialogue are taken into consideration, it would be

almost too much to say that this pleasant idea is fully realised by the

evening's performances. It must be confessed, however, that Mr. PENLEY,

rising and descending in a dinner-lift, is (at first) funny; and Miss

CISSY GRAHAME is ever welcome.
