BowsRr THEArRE,-The performance last evening
passed of very creditably. Mr. Scotts Richard Darvl

The whole performance passed of with eclat, and
fully sustained the high reputation which the "old

extremely attractive.
FIRST CONCERT OF LEOPOLD MEYER Ar THE IA
RERNAcLs" Yes. Allah is great-Mahomet his prophet,
and De Meyer his pianist - SO said after his first ap
pearance at the Park, and say again, after last
nights Concert at the Tabernacle crowded in all its
parts by brilliant audience. We not guilty of hy-
perbole if declare, that such spectacle has
been witnessed in America as that which took place du
ring and after the Concert Of this truly wonderful mus
cal meteor and defy anybody to give correct de-
scrpton OF the enthusiasm which vented tse in hurrahs
applause and really do mot know in what else-so
confused the noise. Great was the excitement
which he had caused at the Park cannot be pared
to that of last evening The public actually scaled
the platform where the two pianofortes stood, and

they expected to see twenty fingers each with steam

much more effect in the concert room than IN the

piece, together with his "Narche Marocaine .wil
be forgotten by those who have heard it. The overture
to Guiaume Tell appeared like piece of necromancy
and we really do not know what to admire most his
wonderful memory in retaining such awful quantity
But the climax Of the evening was his "Marche

was the power with which he played it, and cannot
conceive how the instrument could stand it. 1t sounded

Want OF space prevents us from noticing at create
length the ofthe pieces performed Madame Adler
OF whom we shall speak more extensively after having
heard her second time, ELECTED considerable applause

rare excellence
HERR ALExANpER.-This distinguished artist has com,
from the gobln-land of Germany, possessing the powe
of performing what the dreamers of that country have
imagined. We somewhat question whether he is not il
fact the Mephistophles the immortal production of thu
brain of Goethe And yet Herr Alexander has none o
the appearance Of his satanic majesty but is one Of til,
most pleasing and attractive gentlemen saw
The ladies are all delighted With him and SO is ever,
one who sees him. Ni5lo's Theatre was last evening
crowded with as large and fashionable audience a.
we have seen there this season. For two hours they

The concert will on the whole probably be one Of tn,
most interesting that has been given this season.
The ALHAMRA.-Ths fashionable place of amusemen
still continues to be filled every evening with an audi
ence who laugh themselves almost death at the drol
lerles OF the burlesque company. Last evening tn,
