have been a lateral pressure on shaking sides. A
small one act piece was first enacted, entitled Dieu

CASTLE GARDEN.-The bill of fare last evening
was very attractive, and the garden in consequence
was well attended. Amongst the large crowd who
attended to witness the performance, were several
members of the Common Council, and some of the
distinguished visitors at present sojournng in this
city. The dancing, and performance altogether,
passed of with kciat. The Masters Wood, in the
gladiatoria scene of the Youths of Sparta,' ac-
quilted themselves much to the satisfaction Of the
entire auditory. The orchestra performed several
select pieces w 18th admirable taste and execution
The proprietors, in the bumper houses which night
ly fill this splendid place OF public amusement, re-
ceiye substantial proof of the high appreciation in
which their efforts are held by our citizens in
general.

peters Daughter elected loud laughter last even

throughout Miss Taylor's Vivandiere was sprightly
and humorous Nickenson was droll and Mr..
Roberts gave fresh evidence of his comic ability,
though in different vein to any thing we had pre-
viouslyseen in him. It is clear he is an actor Of
great capability. The Acrobat Family continue
their successful career their groupings and extra
ordinary feats of strength are at once the wonder
and admiration Of the visitors II may be as well
to add, the Garden never presented a more beauti-
full appearance while the half hour promenade, en-
livened by choice selection of music from the best
composers, give spirit to the entertainments of the
evening only to be found at Niblo's. The Trumpet
er's Daughter, the Acrobat Family the promenade
concert, and Spltafeld's Weaver tonight.
