we may mention that we heard, a few weeks since, of a traveller of the name of Gordon, who had reached Calcutta after having traversed the vast portion of the globe from the Russian frontier over the whole table-land of

THE DRAMA.

We shall perhaps gain no credit with our more sedate and learned readers, for compressing, as we mean to do, our dramatic criticisms for the week, within a very narrow compass.
