Theatrical and Musical.

PARK-Mr Collins achieved fresh triumphs last even.
ing in his impersonation of OCalIaghan on His Last
Legs" and Morgan Rather in How to Pay the Rent"
Somehow the public have found out that the gentleman
possessed of high order of talent, notwithstanding
the hackneyed depreciation of two of the liberal
Wall street papers. We never saw more highly de-
lighted audience than that of the Park last evenings and
the applause which every moment burst forth spontane
ously from large and discriminating house, was high
tribute to Mr. Cons's acting In fact with the excep-
ton of the OCallaghan of Power which do not ex.
pect equaled Mr. Colinss impersOnation of
the character the richest have ever seem
Others that we have seen in the character dressed
it like streetsweeper, in ludicrous squalor. Mr..
racter which he wished to delineatc, gentleman of
ruined fortunes, reduced to abjectpoverty but still re-
tanning something Of the wreck Of former gentiitywe
just sucency Of brogue, and no more Why will not
the actors who play with hmwe can scarcely say sus-
tain him-earn their partsl Some Of them were out in
the principal last evening, and he obliged to
prompt them loud to be heard in the boxes This
should be at the Park which is seldom faulty in this
respect The orchestra played during the evening seve
raj beautiful irish airs which were warmly appauded
by the audience-a slight tribute to the excellence of
Irish music and to the good execution of the performers
The cornopan solos were really beautiful and so well
and the pess
which is highly praised by the London critics.
BowERY THEArRE.--Mr. John r. Scott appeared again
last evening as Damon in Damon and Pythas" and
usual greeted with the applause of his old patrons
This will be important night at the Bowery inasmuch
John r. Scott will take farewell benefit and Messrs
Cony and Blanchard, all of whom well and favor
ably known to the frequenters of this theatre will ap
pear for the last time in America. 1t would be super
huous for recapitulate the claims of Mr. Scott
the theatrical public-they too well knownand we
have doubt that he will have bumper of benefit to-
night The bill for this great occasion is tremendous
one-conssting of Maurice, the Wood Cutter )" the
farce of The Review y the celebrated standard combat
from Rienzi" between Cony and Blanchard, and the
much admired drama of " The Children of the Wood"
GREENWICH THEArRE.--The indefatigable manager of
the Greenwich Theatre, Mr.. Freer, will produce new
drama this evening" written expressly for him, entitled
The Fireman's Daughter" We have heard, from those
who have seen this new drama in rehearsal that it
abouns with interest and written in superior styles
and on of its local. national and domestic charac
ter is certain of being well received Mr. Phillips Mr.
Freer Mr. Chapman, Miss Julia Drake, and Miss Crau-
ford are expressly re-engaged to appear in it, and
doubt not that will be satisfactorily performed The
entertainments for the evening will conclude with New
York Millners" and the buretta Of Three Miles the
Harlem Road" We expect to see crowded house at
the Greenwich this evening.
CASTLE GARpEN-This delightful attracts great
crowds nightly, to listen to the delightful music which
may be heard there every evening" and eat the delicious
ice that can always be procured there The
the evening delights the with the choicest
music of the finest operas IT'S treat indeed gaze
on the tranquil waters beneath the canopy of heaven
above while the breeze from the sea- mingng with the
music burthened air from Within awaken thoughts of
melancholy or OF love.
PRIVATE THEArRIcALs.--We have been anxiously
awaiting, for some time past the debut Of the amateur
theatrical company that formed, partly formed
some two months since and which we believe
to appear at Palmos Opera House We hope the pro-
ect is not abandoned, for undoubtedly have in our
CITY the germs OF good tragic and comic actors and
tresses walked stage. Will well disposed
per; be good enough to give us some light on the
