ed, with mnch more effect than on the first repre-.
sentation. Mademoisele LAGER was in better
voice, and personated the part of Madame Mar
neuf with archness and vivacity. M. and Madame
Lecourt, as Bagnole and Coral Inc, were reoeatedy
appauded The part of Bagnoet is the only speci-
men of NJ: Lecourt's comic powers we have yet
seen, and if he could avoid little of his Stiffness
we rather think should prefer his comedy to the
more serious parts In which ne has previously ap-
peaIed; Apropos, we perceive that ne Is underlined
test of his popularity; for it must be remembered
that we have had Robert Macare the New
York boards, since whose departure no one has
been hardy enough to try the pubic feeling in that
arduous character.
After the opera the orchestra played the overture
d'Esmeralda, composed by the leader, MIR. Provost,
which called down the repeated paudIts OF the au-
dience. The vaudeville of the "Gamn de Paris, -
was then played for the first time, but the late hour

that it bids fair to rank among the successful novel
ties of the season.
Tonight the troupe give us new musical drama,
in three acts, " La Vicomte de L'Etoreres," in
which Madame Lecourt plays the count. This is A
character acted by the celebrated Mademoisele De-
jaZet, of Paris, and which Madame Lecourt is said
to perform admirably. The orchestra will play
three over,ures; and Bernard, Dessonville and Ma.

a full and fashionable audience.
