THE AMERICAN CIRCUS.

The wonder. is alltie- people who daily and
nightly visit this monster establishment come from. Dur-
ing the week, both at mid-day and evening performance,
the cirque has been reguleybeseiged, and hundreds,
rwho,
could-not gain admission Went away, consoling themselves
that they would be morefortunate another time. Having
spc:oz en on two orthree-occasions in detail of the perfornaance,
we have hardlyanything to add, e±6ept that the ariistO keep
pace with the unprecedented patronage bestowed a the
whole establishment. We may mention an ingredient
that has contributed-much, it not to the success of the
undertaking, it- is atF least, remarkable, and appreciated by-
the thousands who have been delighted by the performance.
We allude to the polite,coaclact. of every one connected
with the circus—professionalLaAd;offleials, who have been
fortunate eiaMiLth to.. secure the gocd opiniOn of all who
visit the ciictit?, have business to transact ,with them.
Last night e'lirliVeWas, as usual, crowded, ,and the Per-
formance gatkientire'satiSfaction.

THE ROtit4.BibOtoGlC AL GARDEP, ,
Mr. Atkins VAtli., enter rise and that taste
which has been 'highly approved of and patronised
by the public-, orens these beautiful gardens, on
Monday. In addition to the usual attractions,
there is prepared for the opening a goigeous
Pictorial model of Moscow, with a representation
of the brilliant fetes at the cororaticn of the Emperor,
which has recently attracted so much of the world to the
ancient capital of Russia, and created a sensation all over
Europe. There are many other points in the Gardens
that cnnnot fail to instruct and amuse, whilst the zoolo-
gical collection has been added to. A word in raise of
the Gardens need not be added—it is enough that the
public know they are open for the season.

IIIE COLOSSEUM.
This establishment has-undergone considerable repairs
and alterations for the better since our last notice ; and, in
addition, the company of artites has augmented, and the
first talent in the line , delight crowded homes every
evening.
VOUSDEN'S, QUEEN'S HALL.
We have Only one or two sentences to say of the per-
ormanee of our'inimitable "friend" Vousden, and these
are that there has been a regular ficrore all the week about
the Q9een's•Hall--several hundreds were disappointed at
not being able, to gain admission. If the entertainment
was not one ofstha trot order, this could not happen, whilst
there are, at preient, so ms superb attractions in town. VonsdwisAlly up to the; standard, and ever,: night
produces something new and good. He is fully entitled to
