GREEN ROOM INTELLIGENCE

- ~ consequence Oh tHe sudden departure of
General la tAYETTE 10 the eastward. he is
unable 10 attend the opening of the Netrnno-
tan Theatre in the Park, and has ADDRESSED :, no.
lite note TO the managers expressive of his re-
grets, but promises TO have the pleasure of ac
coping their invitation on his return to the city.
which will he early in the next month
Fart OF the Boston company, now here. have
cniearoured to ascertain whether the General
could make it convenient to visit the theatre
in that city. Ifso, the company will ondeavouy
| to be at their post. w expect ne will not have
| time to attend.
MIS-. barley long deserved favorita in This
! city, has Il short engagement al Chatham Gar
den Theatre. Mr.. and Mrs. duff and Mr.. Finn
are performing there with considerable effect.
We particularly noticed The performance of
| the Twelfth Night, in which kilncr, WalIack
and Finn were excellent.
The embellishments at The Park Theatre are
very light and airy. The heavy drop scene is
altered TO lively view of the City Hall, tege-
Their with the Park, Broadway and Chatham
street the pillars on the stage are newly
painted and diminished in effect by being lIutcd
with col Zen rods, the pannels Of the dress boxes
arc OF white and gold ornaments, the dome is
superbiy iaintcd, and the proscenium ornamcn-
ted III a tasty manner. Splendid preparations
are making for the new piece, called the Cafu.
5uct Of the G0ngGs, which is TO be brought ont
early in the season.
Rumours prevailed in the CITY that Mr.. and
Mrs. Barnes had arrived. On enquiry we find
them TO be unfounded, although they are enga
ged at the Park, and may be shortly expected.
W. have received DO satisfactory reply TO our
enquiries as to the novelty expected from Eng
land. Our great theatre is something like the
cabinet at w asbington: its secrets do not often
transpire. We learn verbally, however, that
they will be in great force and high prescrva-
tion," during the ensuing season. This is one
OF the good results of deposition. We shall have
not less than 10000 strangers the CITY lin Sep
TENDER and October. MIR. Conway has been
travelling, but not professionally, to Albany and
The Springs. The large theatre at Baltimore
has been rented TO two gentlemen, one of whom
we learn is Mr. Aeg, late editor of the late
Washington Republican; he is man OF taste
and talent. 1t IS TO be managed by MIR. Phillips.
The Circus closes in few nights, and opens
in Philadelphia. We have not learnt wbetbcr
the New Theatre opens in that city during the
fall months. 1T will.
The neat Petersburg theatre, under Mr.
Caldwell, Is open. Miss j Flacide, one of his
company. we learn is in this city, and will short
ly appear at Chatham Garden Theatre She is
represented to possess considerable taste and
talent.
The patrons ofthe Chatham Garden Theatre.
will miss kilner, Barrett and the pretty Mrs.
Hencry; application will be made TO the proper
authorities to dctain the latter.
The theatre at New Orleans, built by Mr..
Davis, is closed for want of patronage; there are
three theatres in that city. The Albanians
have raised the wind for building now theatre.
but VIC fear their prospects are too extensive,
and the expectations of first rate company too
highly rated; neat cheap theatre should be
built, and rented cheap TO a manager who can
bring respectable company, making Albany
head quarters, and having theatrical circuits at
Troy, Saratoga and Utica. A letter received
in this city positively says, MIR. Kean will be
here.
Ii should be mentioned to the credit of the
Chatham Garden Theatre, that he gave the
whole receipts oCthc house - ac widow Of Mr..
Class, who fell from the roof of the theatre and
was killed
