CHATHAM THEArRE.-We paid flying visit to
this popular house, but Of necessity we made our
stay short one, for the very palpabe reason that
We could not for the crowd get glimpse of the
stage, but were told that Hill never played BETTER.
The great " Polka I" was danced to the very lite
by Miss Cannon and Mr.. Brooks. 1t is a brilliant
gem in the crown of this little queen of the dance
that she was the original in America in figure
which has set the the metropolltans OF the French
nation half crazy "The Revue des Theatres
of Paris considers this dance, which, like st. Vi
little originality, and pronounces 1t to be a combi-
nation Of the Russian Mazurka, the Polenalse,
and the Cachuca, and by the reunion pleasing
dance is produced for the stage, but it is consider
The most popular music TO the dance is that adapt
ed by Burgmuller." We hardly know how to
speak IN sufficient terms of praise Of the Chat
ham management. He is certainly ahead OF all
others in the production OF novelties. Tomorrow
again he, in advance Of all other rivals brings out
he great prohibited comedy of "Richelieu in
Love-" which will be performed with powerful
cast. We shall have more to say amen.
AMERICAN MuskuM.-,ApoIlo's Tyre has descend
ed to the earth! The Orphans, splendid sing
ing family, who excel the Hutchinsons, have been
ngaged for the present week by the understandable
manager. The Museum was crowded to hear
them last week, and will be this! The nimitable
Winchel is also re-engaged, with Cole and his
Dog. Performances twice each day at 81 and 8
p. M. The Giants can be seen ut all hours, also
the Gypsey. This is the richest bill for week
that has been offered yet, don't neglect improving
It. Only go early on account of seats
Such SlGHr--It was most splendid scene
Yesterday when the Giant, both Giantesses and the
Dwarf appeared together on the stage at the New
York Museum. The audience appeared thunder
struck with establishment when the curtain rose
and presented them to their view. We observed
the Giant seemed inclined to cast a sleeps eye at
the Glantess, and his wife appeared to perceive il
100. The American Giantess, at the New York
Museum, is sufficiently handsome to excite the
admiration of any man, and we naturally suppose
that the Giant would possess a yenchan. for her.
The Dwarf and Giantess have proved so attractive
that the manager has re-engaged them in addition
eight performers and all to be for one shl-
ling; who would not go with such an inducement
hed out.
ARRESTED FOR HoMlciDE.-A person named Hut
chas Butterield was arrested yesterday on charge
If committing homicide. Some three years ago, IN an
