SCENE FROM "CINDERELLA," AT THE LYCEUM THEATRE.

Our illustration represents the tableau at the conclusion of the second act of the burlesque of "Cinderella," where, just as Cinderella has given orders to "drive on to court," Rumpelstiltskin, the German gnome, tries to press his suit in the following words:--

    Rumpel.

    I claim your hand for the first six quadrilles!

    Fairy.

    Back!  or be crush'd beneath the chariot wheels!

    Rumpel.

    ‘Tis not the first time I your spells have marr'd.

    Fairy.

    Ha!  is it so?  Appear, my Fairy Guard!  Surround the coach, watch over my goddaughter; Spite of the gnome, safe to the ball escort her!

The "guard"--a bevy of pretty girls in glittering armour--appear, and repulse Rumpelstiltskin, who flies off, vowing vengeance; and the cortège, surrounded by the fairy attendants, moves on to the ball.
