ADELPHI THEATRE.

Madame Celeste has returned, and made her rentree
here last evening, in Boyle Bernard's most interesting
drama of Ma, ie Ducange. Taken as a whole this is,
perhaps, Celeste's greatest character, and never did she
act it with greater power and pathos than she did last
evening. It is a character of contrasts, of brilliant lights
and of deep shades, and in the delineation of these
Rembraudtesque characters, if we may be allowed the
expression, Celeste excels any actress that ever trod the
boards. From the moment of her appearance she creates
an interest which increases in intensity in every
scene, until, at last, it becomes absolutely painful,
and the drama ends, as very few modern -dramas
do end, in a climax. The last scene, in which the
poor insane Marie recovers her senses and is restored to
her friends and her husband, is, as given by Celeste, the
chef d'ceuvre of melodramatic acting. In this scene she
shows herself a true poetess, and elevates melodrama
to the rank of legitimate tragedy. She was enthusias-
tically applauded throughout, and was called for at the.
falling of the curtain. The house was crammed to suf-
focation within ten minutes after the door was opened.

DON J. AND DON R. DE CIEBRA'S

CONCERT, HANOVER SQUARE ROOMS.
The Ciebras gave a very pleasant concert last even-
ing at the Hanover-square Rooms, which was exceed-
ingly well attended. The vocalists were Madame De
Lozano, Miss Messent, Herr Brabadi, Mr. Wetherbce,
and Mr. Calkin. Mr. W. 11. Holmes presided at the
pianoforte, Mr. L. Silderberg was the violinist, and the
beneficiares themselves performed several pieces on
the guitar. Mr. J. Catkin gave, for the first time, a
beautiful ballad, entitled " The Mother's last words," the
composition of Signor Minasi. It cannot fail to become
popular. Minasi also arranged for this concert the
overture to William Tell, for twelve performers on the
pianoforte, which was very effectively given by Mr. W.
H. Holmes and his pupils, and the composer himself.
The performance of Don R. De Ciebra of the celebrated
evening,
however, it
awl lays an
the
caya
Romanza Com' e gentil on the guitar was most beautiful
and expressive, and Don J. De Ciebra by his
performance of his variations on a theme from
11 l'isata, certainly impressed us with a far
higher idea of the powers of the guitar than we had
before.instru-
ment

[ADVERTISEMENT].—A CERTAIN CURE TOR SCRO-
FULA OR KING'S EVIL, BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND
OINTMENT!—Many of the hospitals finding that a num-
ber of their patients afflicted with ulcers, abscesses.
and sores, but more particularly from scrofula, who had
been discharged as incurable from various medical in-
stitutions, were afterwards soundly healed by Holloway's
fills and Ointment—this fact has induced several infir-
maries to purchase by weight from the proprietor, Hol-
loway's Ointment, for hospital use, for the purpose of
curing this class of patients. All such would therefore
do well to have recourse to those famed remedies, when
suffering from similar ailments. These medicines may
be obtained of all chemists and druggists throughout the
civilised world, and at Professor Holloway's Establish.
