AMERICAN THEATRICAL INTELLIGENCE

(From the New York Herald, April 21 )
Signor Biscaccianti was to make his first appearsnce
in California, at the American Theatre, San Francisco,
on the 22d. The concert was to be under the direction
of Mr. George Loder. The prices of admission were
advertised as follows :—Private boxes and stalls, 5
dollars ; dress circle and parquet, 3 dollars; pit, 2 dol-
lar:;; gallery, 1 dollar.
Messrs. Chanfrau, Anderson, and Seymour, and Miss
Albertine, had gone to Placerville, with the intention
of opening the theatre at that place on Saturday evening,
the 24th ult.

Catherine Hayes is approaching New York. She has
just closed a series of concerts at Cincinnatti with bril-
liant success, and produced quite an enthusiasm among
the denizens of the " Queen of the West."
Madame Goldachimdt (Jenny Lind) is announced to
give three final concerts in this city before her departure
for Europe—the first on the 18th of May.
BOWERY THEATRE.—This evening Mr. Hamblin pro-
duces, for the first time, the dramatic romance entitled
The Corsican Brothers, the new and startling eff4cts of
which have produced, both in Paris.and London a revival
in theatricals.

BROADWAY THEATRE.—The great American trage-
than, Mr. Forrest, appears this evening for the sixty-
first time, a circumstance unparalleled in the engagement
of any star, and still the houses are respectable. To-
night he plays the character of Rolla, in the tragedy of
Pizarro. The last time he appeared in it he received
throughout every scene the most enthusiastic
applause. Conway will sustain the part of
Alonzo, Mad. Ponisi as Cora, and Mrs. Ab-
bott as Elyira. This cast, apart front the other
clever artists attached to this theatre, will be certain to
crowd the house. Forrest is a great actor in many cha-
racters; Conway inherits many of the fine qualities of
his father; Mad. Ponisi is the best stock actress that has
ever appeared in the Broadway, and Mrs. Abbott is
always correct in her part, and dresses more tastefully
and appropriately than any other actress we have ever
seen. The entertainments conclude with the Guardian
Angel, with Davidge, Reynolds, Miss Crocker, and Kate
Horn, in the principal characters.
NIBLO'S GARDEN.—The beautiful theatre, which
has always been ably conducted by Niblo, in having the
best artists that money can purchase, as also in pre-
senting the various novelties he offers for the amuse-
ment of his patrons in the most costly and superb
style, is nightly crowded by the most respectable class.
Monday evening, although it rained heavily, the re-
ceipts amounted to 600 dollars. This speaks well for
Niblo's character as a dramatic manager. To-night
Madame Anna Thillon appeared again as Marie, in the
opera of the Child of the Regiment, Hudson as Tonio,
and Leach as Sulpice. The entertainments will con-
clude with the farce of the Captain of the Watch, Mr.
Hudson appearing as Captain O'Donnell and Mrs. Con-
over as Isabella. Those who delight in good singing,
excellent acting, and the greatest possible attention being
paid to the comfort of visitors, would do well to call at
the Garden. We are informed that one of the best
artists in the States will be the next feature after the
present engagement.
LYCEUM THEATRE.—Although the weather has been
