The FRENCH COMPANY AT THE PARK.-Owing to
the indispositon of some OF the principal singers,
Rossini's "Guilaume Te,' had to be postponed,
and two vaudevilles were given in its stead, in
which several new actors made their debut, assisted
by some Of the old favortes, who were received as
such by very elegant audience. The pieces chosen
on this occasion were Louise Ia reparation, by
the prolific Scribe, and les premiSres de Richie
lieu by Bayard, the Scribe junior of France Louise
is of those pieces in which the plot plays the less
important part but where the incidents and spright
ly dialogue make up for its want of originality One
of Zchokke's most amusing tales, Little Aunt Ros-
marin" has, say the least suggested the principal
idea of the play, to which, on the whole, it is nfe
ror, but it is carried along with savoi fairc, and
lavishness of esprit, which stamps it work of
Scribe, and not of scribe. II acted with pre-
cison and truly French grace, which, from its be-
ing national and natural, finds no imator in Eng
lish actors Matthew played the lawyer to the life,
admirably hiding his cuteness under an air d. uie
Cetisc deiicietse norwas Madam Matthew less ANUS
ing. Mile. Maria possesses graceful carriage, and
an action Of much routine. Her voice is not very
pleasing but she pronounces the French with truly
Partisan accent. Montassier is an actor of much
experience in whose hands role is perfectly safe,
although he may not impart to it any particular in
terest. On the whole the vaudeville went off with
that ensemble for which the French stage is SO
distinguished, and it was received with much ap-
plause Les premisres armes de R,ehelieu made
decided hit, and scarcely was received with less
unfeigned pleasure than at the Palais Royal, where
the incompatible Deazet threw into it all the charm
written piece which contained an equal amount
,~c tlo
like the serpents of Medusa's head, with the only
difference that they rather more pleasant. To
be sure, it does not shine for its morality, and we
rather think that Bayard did apply to the Acade
ie Fancaise for the prir nsOnthyom on its account;
but who would not wink at wickednsss in such
sparkling garb! Madame Ceuriot made delicious
Richelieu; Of course we do not mean to compare
hers to Dejazet's, first, because comparisons are
odorous, and second because she certainly does not
pretend it; but she boldly can challenge comparison
with any other Richelieu She is rather too plump
tor boy of sixteen but she makesup for II through
locomotiveness of action. There was an admirable
blending Of the rouf and the gamin and her erase
moi" was the p,ss ultra Of boys impudence,
who thinks with shame the days of Ia toupie and
the cerceaw Madame Richer still possesses the
same beautiful profile; she has improved in en,bon-
point, but still more in talent. Ele est dsvense
grasa mans encore plus gracieusc. Madame Matthew
looked and acted little too vulgarly for an inmate
of the place royas corresponding to the fasboure
81. Germain Of modern times she evidently forgot
that she was Ia DNchessc de Noaiues. Madame Eu-
genie was as charming as on her previous appear
ance, and the rest did not spoil anything. The cur
tain fell amidst long and protracted applause.
NIBLos GARpEN-THE ACROBAT FAMILY AND Mr.
RoBERrs-Each night that these artists appear, the
Saloon is crowded Mr.. Roberts is making consid-
cradle progress the estimation Of the public. To-
night he appears in a piece, zone Hour" better
adapted to Niblo's than Don Caesar de Bazan. lie
sings song, accompanying himself on the piano,
and dances the ball room Polka with Miss Taylor
The Acrobat Family are generally considered much
more spirited and astonishing than the Raves; they
literally run up each others backs-a feat hitherto
exclusively confined to the feline species They
have made greathit, and no mistake.
CASTLE GARDKN.--Last night, as might be expec-
ted from the charming weather we are now enjoy
ing, this place OF amusement was densely crowded
Tue area in front Of the orchestra presented very
lively appearance, having most formidable array
OF the beauty and fashion Of city. The proprie
tors seem seem to be sparing no pains in making this
fashionable retreat as attractive as possible. Bou-
quets are Iaid IN prof'ison through different parts
OF the room, and round the fountain are placed in
the most tasty manner, from eighty to one hundred
Of the choicest plants and flowers so that the per-
fume which floats on the refreshing breezes, make
jhe atmosphere quite Elysian. Mr. Dcmpser ap-
N,ared TO much advantage in number of his new
ano popular ballads, which were received with rap
mrou. plaudiis. The dancing by Miss Cohen and
M r. r. ParsIoe, was carried on very spiritedly.
