The Theatres.

P,sx THy.rRn.-Last night Cinderella was re-
peated to very fashionable audience, replete, with
the beauty and ton Of the city Mr.. and Mrs w God
were in fine voice, and the queen Of English song
she is not inaptly termed excelled herself in the
grand finale. AT the fall Of tue curtain the house
rose and demanded an encore, which was given, and
applauded to the very echo In the sltcrpIcco Mrs.
Maeder reappcarcd at this house, and was well re-
seived.
There was great Jam al the Chatham, last night.
Jim Crow took beneft-the bill was unusually
rich. Hervio Nano, and the whole strength Of
Thorncs fine stock company brought into requisi
tion, drew a tremendous house. Overaowing
houses are every night occurrences at the Chatham
but last night IL was Pelion upon Ossa Long be-
fore the curtain rose, they obliged to refuse
selling tickets for the pit, and every part Of the
theatre was crammed TO sufIoea,ion After the ret
piece the pit took possession Of the stage, and for
a time il seemed doubtful whether a sufficient space
could be cleared for the performances to proceed -
The boys were in full feather, and the police oir-
GERS were entirely unequal to the emergency. BIT
ten apples and pennie. were thrown upon the stage,
and the ragged little rascas who had taken possess
sion, were in paradi,e-ehasing one another across
the stage, picking up the apples aud hurting them
back into the pit roaring and yelling and enjoying
the frolic immeasaratly. After this thing had gone
on for while the officers and the actors seeded
in partially allsyins the excitement, and Thornc
came out aud make short speech. lie wa. APP
plauded and checrea until the roof Of the theatre
was likely to fly of and then the performances
wers permitted to proceed.
Rice in his best humor, and every thing went
OF in fine style.
The bill for tonight is such to ensure jam
again.

BY this estimate, General Harrison is elected be.
yond doubtful to do this, it must be recolected
that they must sing much larger number of songs,
drink tremendous quantity OF hard cider, and erect
lot. of log cabins every district of the Union
There must be no dng among the Tippeeanoes, or
their fun is over.
Thus we estimated-and thus we said in April
last on the day after the Charter Elections in the
city, when the democrats triumphed. Well, since
that time elections in fifteen states have been held,
ard il appears that estimate has not come up to
the actual results "by a long shot''-that General
Harrisoa is stronger than his own party-stronger
than estima.e-stronger than hard cder-and

the merit Of being nearly right now 10 their policy,

The accounts received from Maryland and
