Boxes The play was the " Lady Of Lyons" and
| Mr Anderson sustained the part of Claude with
ei that characteristic energy. .spirlt, and effect
which have made the part emphaticay his own.
Miss Ellis didlaot, in our Judgment play the hero
me as well as on some formeI occasions Mrs Dy-
oft gave Claude's mother rather amusing charac-
ter, by occasionally reapsing into the French patois
which she effectively employed as g Millinelte'
in the comedy Of " Fashion," whilst Mrs. Barry
as Madame Deschepelles, was "Mrs Tiffany'' out
and out, for which she was perhaps rather to be
commended, as the two characters have really
good deal in common. Mr.. de Walden again,
was " Twinkle" and even Mr.. Chippendale as the
"Colonel," had very perceptbe spicng Of odd
Cataraugus." The effect Of all this was frequent
ly very amusing 1. would appear, indeed, that
the Park company assumed much CON amore
the characters given them by Mrs. Mowatt, that
they have partially lost their own identity. The
performance Of the Lady of Lyons" however,
went off very well last night and on the fall Of the
curtain, Mr. Anderson was called tor in the most
enthusiastic manner, and bowed his thanks to one
of the best houses ever seen within the walls of
old Drury."
PALMo's.-The house was rather slim. can
tigone" was again performed. Miss Clarendon
could not appear in the "Lady of Lyons" which
was to have been played with the tragedy The
farce tf " mischief Making" was substituted, and
went off very well. Nickerson and Mrs. Watts
sustaining the principal characters.

hour. became entirely occupied. Nearly the
whole assemblage consisted Of ladies', and the in
terest 40 manifested by the numbers, the attention
aad the lively pleasure derived from the exhibition
the orphan children, is greatly to the credit of
the female community.
Nothing could be more pleasing than the ap.
pearance OF the Hall when the children took their
seats. A hundred and fifty cheerful and happy
faces sat down, the picture of contentmen: and
they took the seats their smiles seemed reflect
cd from the features of the visiters, who looked
aad gazed, and admired the children over and
over again. There were in all about hundred |
and fifty; OF these, perhaps, two-thirds were boys
The latter were dressed in blue cloth jacketsand |
rowsers; the girls In dark blue dresses, white
iic capes and aprons, and on entering had straw
bonnets with ribbons to match their dress. On no |
similar occasion have many handsome children |
ssemoled, IN proportion to the aggregate number;
to attend the public school exhibitions that those
tile orphans had been blessed with an unusual
degree OF good looks, and this together with the
care evidently bestowed on their toilette, made
the group highly attractive.
