atoms for the summer campaign-he opens about

during this week, and will join Gabriels company
who have been doing an excellent business in Ha-
wanna the past winter, and who arrived yeste rday
from that place, That extraordinary company will
consist of twenty artists all first rate in their

great talent and numbers they are at nearly double

CHATHAM THEATRE--It is only necessary to say,
that this evening is set apart for the benefit of Mr.
Thorne, the popular manager Of this house, TO en-
sure him bumper. but he does not, it seems, rest
upon his claims alone He has provided for the oc-
casion, quality and variety of entertainment that
cannot but meet all tastes First, there is Sig Her
VIC Ndno, WHO uieS around the exterior OF the
boxes in most terrific and extraordinary manner
Then comes Rice, the original and unequalled jim,
Crow. Next appears MIR. Kirby, with whom new
engagement has been effected, as Jack Junk in the
Beacon-again we have Hervio Nano, as the Island
Ape in the Shipwreck. Songs by Mrs. Mossop-
Jumbo jun by Mr.. Rice make up an interlude, fol-
lowed by Luke the Laborer, with the full strength
of the company. Such bill is rarely presented,
and still more rarely comes forward so deserving a
benefciare for the public favor. 1t is worthy of
note that the manager of the Chatham is the only
manager in the city VINO has paid hisli license which
paid into the city treasury to-day $500, which
is a larger amount than has been borrowed on per
cent bonds. -
