HAYMARKET.

Mr. Sothern's reign of popularity at the liar
market continues. Last night " Brother Sam" was
reproduced, and in the hands of Mr. Sothern its
whimsicalities lost none of their original merriment•
He was as amusing as ever, and acted through"
out with remarkable freshness and vivacity. All
the old points were well given, and some new situa-
tions have been introduced with advantage. Dir.
Sothern was admirably supported by Mr. Buck-
stone, Mr. Compton, Kr. Chippendale, and Mrs.
Lewin. The revival met with a capital reception,
and it promises to keep upon the line at all events
until the Christmas novelty.

PRINCESS'S.
Last evening Mr. Boucicault's celebrated Irish
drama was revived at this theatre, and its reprodne'
tion was attended with such extraordinary success
that a second run, equal in duration to that it
achieved on its first performance at the Adelpllll
may fairly be calculated upon. Since the first night
of its performance in London, now nearly five
years ago, it has been represented in all parts
of the world, and on every occasion it 1133
evoked the most enthusiastic and genuine
applause. We feel a real pleasure in record"
ing the fact, because we were amongst those
who pronounced it on that occasion one of the
neatest and best dramas of modern times, and the
reputation it has achieved since that period fall
bears out the opinion we then expressed. On the
present occasion it has been revived under the direes
tion of the author, an announcement quite sufEciell!
to convey a correct idea of its completeness an',
beauty, as it is admitted on all sides that 311%
Boucicault is quite unapproachable in stage manage'
meat. New scenery has been painted for the drams
by Mr. F. Lloyds, and from its extreme beauty it is
apparent the artist's heart has been in the work, Or
more beautiful specimens of the scenic art have never
been produced at any theatre. The brilliant moon.
light opening scene, with the distant view of EilY
home at Muckross Head, is perfection, and having
said that, we are at a loss for a term to adequatelf
describe the grand effect in the" water cave," where
Myles heroically plunges head foremost into the
water, and rises again bearing with him the apps'
rently lifeless body of the Colleen Hawn. This, the
great effect of the drama, elicited the unaninil
applause of a large and delighted audience, 'lO,
brought the act drop down amidst the greatest eY
citement. The applause continued for a consider
c;
able period afterwards, and it was not until Mr.alla
Mrs. Boucicault, with Mr. D. Murray, who sustained
the part of Danny Mann, bowed their acknowled,g;
Incas that the enthusiasm was allayed. 'lli
last act was excellently well done, and had it bel

of its revival, the success it evoked could not have
been greater. The cast of characters was excelle
Of Mr. and Mrs. Boucicault, as Myles and ;
O'Connor, we can only say that both supported their
parts with all that skill which has stamped the
two of the greatest artists the stage possesses. r.
