THsATRoALs IN THE UNITED SrArEs.-The com!
pany has been engaged at the Park to bring out
"Moses in Egypt" very shortly, and consists of the
following persons Mr.. and Mrs. Seguin, Mrs Bal
ley, Mrs Knight, Mr.. Pearson, Mr. Chenille, and
Mr.. Archer. Now, although some OF these singers
are very well in their own peculiar line, yet taken
a company to play the best operas of the great
masters, they probably the most inefficient tina,
we have had for long time. They seem made up
of imbecues-passf characters. And the only
OF really superior talent is Mr.. Seguin himself
who has fine voice. and is good musician.
Therefore we do not think that the opera will sue
coed at the Park though our wishes are to the con-
trary.
Celeste. second engagement at the Bowery has
closed, and on the whole has been pretty good
one, although since the departure of Fanny Els
ser it seems difficult get up an excitement ABOUT
dancing; and we shall probably have none until
Certo or Taglioni comes amongst us Celestes
great pantommc powers, however, and superior
acting will always draw crowds to see her She
opens at the Chestnut street on Monday, after which
she plays short engagement at Boston, then re-
turns this city, and leaves for England about the
middle of November
Mr. and Mrs Brougham are nightly winning their
way to fame and favor with the New York public.
They have given a tone to threatricals at the Park
that is Of grea, value that house, and in their line
they are very superior actors-far before all other
COMEDY actors in the country.
Nblo, we presume, will soon close brilliant and
profitable season.
The Chatham has been doing most capital bus-
ness; and with the present enterprise, TACT and skill
must continue TO delight the audiences, and fill the
treasury of the manager
In Boston, theatricals have taken quite prospe
rous turn Jones opened the season with Hill, fol-
lowed by Rice, each OF whom filled the theatre
nightly. These were followed by Forrest and Miss
Clifton, who played qutea long engagement, Just
closed, and who also filled the theatre. Celeste is
engaged at this house, and she will attract full and
fashionable houses every night of her performance
At the National, in Boston, Pelby and Blake have
also done first rate business since the opening In
short, thearcals are in better state in Boston than
they are here at present.
In Philadelphia, both haywood ana Miss Cush-
man, al the Chestnut and Walnut, have been doing
a very good business since the opening. Vandenlloff
is now on there. Mr.. and Mrs. Brougham will GO
there shortly.
In other parts of the country there s little or moth
ing doing in theatricals
