Theatrical, &c.

Palmo's new Italian Opera House in Chambers
street, opens on Friday night with Borghese, An
tognini, Majocchi, &C., Rapeti being leader OF the
orchestra, which Is splendid, whatever the vocal
lists may be- Curiosity is ON tiptoe to see how 1t
will succeed.
The Park Theatre is shut up still-as tight as the
North river, and as cold. The Firemens annual
ball will be given there in few days.
The Chatham is engaged by Rockwelps Circus
the Olympic quite lively-and the Bowery as dull
as ever.
Forrest is in town, reading the latest novels. He
plays in Philadelphia next week.
Macready, at the last accounts, was at Savan-
nah. Some say he is doing very well-but he will
be met by Ole Bull and the violinists, who are at
New Orleans, which may affect his success.
Mrs. Sutton goes 20 Philadelphia, to sing at the
concert of the Philharmonic Society next week
In the spring she leaves for Italy, where she will
reside several years.
Charlotte Cushman is in allegiance for the pre-
sent-she is writing poetry for the magazines, and
her lines have as much if not more vgor, origi-
nality, and pathos, than these of G. r. Morris,
Park Benjamin, or Lowell, or any Longfellow, of
any length.
RocKwELL's New CIRCUS The spirited Eques-
TRANS, Rockwell & Stone, are determined not to
suffer the amusements of the circus TO succumb to
the times They have leased the Chatham Thea
tire, and with dashing company and splendid
stud they are certain of success. They have had
crowded houses since they opened, and in the pri-
vate boxes we noticed several of the most infuen-
tial families of our downtown aristocracy Hiram
Franklin the beautiful, fearless rider and the UNI
surpassed vaulter, is the gem of the company. His
double somerset and his wild gallop on his bare
backed steed, are feats of the most extraordinary
dian act, wearing the actual dress presented to him
by an Indian chief, while travelling in Canada in
lS42-the elegant Mrs. Gossn as La Belle Ro-
siere-Sergeant in his Shaksperan characters
and Cole as the ndia-rubber man, all sustain a
very high reputation But the wit of the prince of
| clowns-Gossin, is provoking-od as the Jokes are
and common place as some OF the sayings are; yet
spite of all, one must laugh, for with Gossn they
| are original in manner and expression. What
Mitchell is in low comedy Gossln is as a circus
cown-both inimitabe. The character of the pro-
pretors is guarantee Of the high and unexcepton-
able character of the company and their acts IN the
| ring The house is under the charge Of officer
| William Stephens, who has been selected by Rock
| well to preserve order In every department the
| chief object has been to render the circus at the
| Chatham Theatre worthy the patronage OF oul
most respectable citizens and their families. Pay
