Mr.. INCORPORATING gentleman has been, dur
ing the past week, play ing some OF his favorite
characters at the Melodeon Theatre, Boston. The
Boston papers state that on Thursday evening, q
large and very fashionable house, comprising a
large number of ladies, assembled to witness
Mr.. Macready's personation OF Werner. He was
as well sustained as perhaps could be expected,
considering all things at the present epoch of dra
matte affairs. On Friday night, the house was
moderately we'll filled, but the evening was incle-
ment, and therefore, less tickets were called for.
The play was Othello. IfMacready had been sup.
ported by Booth Gin sober state) for Iago, it would
have been glorious; as it was Ryder did very WELL
and particularly in the celebrated scene, where
lago so cunnlngly excites jealousy towards his wife
in the mind Of the fiery, yet noble Moor. He is an
nounced to play Richelleu this evening.
GooD.-A Sunday paper states, that Mr.. Henry
Phillips, on learning tnat DIR. Lardner had lately
given Sabbath lecture to crowded house, by
especial permission Of his honor the Mayor, called
upon that functonary for similar permission to
give Sunday concert. He assured his honor tha,
II should consist entirely of sacred muse, such as,
the " Stabat Mater" and the Redemptor Mundl."
His honor expressed himself perfectly satisfied

demptor Sunday" the latter being more suited TO
the principles, the present fathers ofthe city wanted
to carry out.
OLE BULL.-The admiration OF the Bostonlans
for this great genius appears not to have dimlnlshtd
by his absence. The papers state that this grea'
harmonlst OF sounds, has been in our city since
Wednesday, looking much recruited from his sum-
mer relaxation, and appearing In fine spirits, with
more music in his soul than ever, and abundantly
prepared to give il expression through the medium
Of his soft-toned Cremona. Our good citizens,
however, are net to hear the Norwegian until mex
month, when, after the tulfillment OF an engage
ment in New York, he will commence series
of Concerts in Boston. To listen to his de-.
scripton of his new piece" Niagara is az
