jump high as Cecompte; nor go round as often on

near so good On the whole, like Celeste best. y
But these were exceptions 10 the general feeling
and expression The ladies were enraptured with
her. They her greatest admirers, forthe simple
reason that they saw any creature the stage

On Fanny herself, the fleet OF hor reception was
equally exciting, pleasing, and astonishing At first
she did not know what To make OF the tremendous
applause she received She cried out that It was
"Sauvage" That it was Almighty applause =
She had never any thing like it. In Paris, and
at the Italian Opera in London, the higher classes
regulate the movements Of the audience, and only
occasionally, on a brilliant display OF grace and exc
cution, they make slight sound by way OF applaud
ing and then cease. They drilled to act like
donations. But here with the free children OF ma.

that is all the time, without reference TO the rdcu'

sign OF this. And it does not affect them when ia
lent is displayed. Fanny EIssler has awakened, as
il were ne impulse, and this is felt all through
the the atrical world of this city. The result Is,
all the theatres are crowded. What was wanted,
she has given us. The highest order OF excellence
in her line, and the result is the highest possible
s.ecess.
We regret that she stays but so short time with
as. She returns in August to fulfil engagements IN
Europe in September, in which month she will dance
in Paris. 1t is doubtful whether she will dance In
America in August. on account OF the extreme neat
of the weather. But we have one satisfaction Du-
ring the three months that she remains here she Will
dance more than she does during whole twelve
month in Europe. In Paris she seldom dances more
than once week, and never more than twice. On
her return from PHILADELPHIA, she appears IN the
"Gipsey," when she will gain new laurels. Al pre-
sent, must be satisfied Next spring 1t Is posi-.
bic that she may return to us. All viii say amen
to that.
