THE AMERICAN CIRCUS..

The performance of this-mid-day and this evening will
terminate the visit of this astonishing company to Liver,
pool. There is one thing to be said at parting, and it is
this. There is a sort of regret, now that they are going
away, for they had almost becme identified with the
" good old town," so much so that every one wishes the
troupg a very good speed. We have little to add to what
we have, from time to time, said of this company's abilities,
and of their managers as gentlemen. Our opinions are on
record, endorsed by the public, and every one concurs in
our observations. We have, however, one word to say in
regard to Mr. Cassidy, whose benefit is announced for
this evening. The thousands who have visited the Circuiv
since it was opened here, can hear testimony to this gen-
tleman's urbanity and able management in the position
which he held, and no doubt all will be anxious to render
him the due meed of praise which he deserves. Beaides
the usual attractions the whole company (ladies and gen-
tlemen) will appear in the splendid Spanish cavalcade, at
the morning and evening perf rmance. As to the pro-
prietors, their officers and servants, we have only to say,
that wherever they may g 7, they carry with them the
good opinion of the people of Liverpool, for their polite
attention, and true gentlemanly bearing, towards all who
ha 1 any business to transact with them, as well as their
urbanity in and out of the " circle." They part from us like
old friends—respected by all. Last night the hawse was
more crowded than usual.

VOUSDEN.—TIIE QUEEN'S HALL.
In cliasequence of a severe cold and sore throat, Mr-
Vousden was not axle to appear last night. This dis-
appointed many, but none more than the gifted artist
himself His illness was much increased by his having
been caught in one of the heavy showers of Thursday,
which he could not avoid. His medical attendants trust
he will be able to resume on Monday. We announced, in
our hecond edition of yesterday, his inability to appear last
night.
