glorious era OF the immortal bard who wrote g DOT
for day. but for all time, in about twenty or
thirty years great REVEALS in theatrcals have occur
red. The names OF the bright particular stars
whose transcendent genius shed ustre upon the age
in which they lived, have been transmitted to US
with the record of their deeds We still turn with
satisfaction to the period when Garnck was the
idol of the people and the court, whom he charmed
by the magic versatility of his talents and admirable
genius--to the golden regime OF Cooke and the Kem-
bles, Siddons, ONeil, the elder Kean, and host of
other less bright luminaries who have had their
glories and their trlumphs, and now rest quietly
among the things of the past
In this country, revivals in music and theatricals
occur somewhat oftener We have lately had
great dramatic revival at the Park theatre, during
the engagement of Mr. and Mrs Charles Kean.
It's true, no labor or expense were spared In
the production Of Orchard the Third" by the
enterrising management, and there was no lack
of patronage on the part of the theatre-gong
public, among whom we find large proportion 0,
the intelligence, fashion, and refinement OF the city
The OF Orchard III" satisfies US, that still
brighter period is in store for the drama. Nor
should we be surprised If some bright luminary
now to appear, and prove the index of new state
OF things upon our boards. The Keans have left us
for Charleston, S. c., but we find that grand melo-
dramatic spectacle is nightly drawing crowded and
enthusiastic audiences at the Bowery Theatre, in
another portion Of the metropolis. This establish
ment is conducted with skill and ability, and spares
no pains in the production Of novelties.
We have also another amusement in the city,
which proves highly popular and attractive.
The Circus, at Palmo's, is nightly thronged with
brilliant and select audiences, who congregate to
witness the wonderful feas of skill displayed by an
excellent company, and the unrivaleu horsemanship
of the graceful Madame Macarte whose admirable
presentations fascinae and astonish all who see her.
She is, undoubtedly, the most daring and graceful
female equestrian who ever visited this county
At the Park Theatre new ballet, entitled Sc La
Glselle," has been performed for eight nights, and
has proved highly successful. The beautiful Madame
Augusta has received the admiration and applause
of thousands, and in her dazzling and astonishing
tours de force, at the commencement OF the second
act, has, probably never been excelled. The ballet
is performed this evening for the last time.
But now, after all these triumphs, we turn to the
Waterloo victories of the great lion pianist of the
age-Leopold De Meyer-whose magic style is the
result of greatness Of soul. In his two last grand
concerts he has dscoursed eloquently to some SIX
thousand people, who crowded the Tabernacle to
hear the maestro of the piano. There is brilllancy
about De Meyers execution which has never been
equaled. "Le Desert ?! How beautiful and sub
lime is that god-like composition We see it, while
listening to this great artistic, quietly sleeping in the
moonlight Of evening-t presents sceaa di musica

have done themselves honor by their liberal patron
age OF this extraordinary artist, who has for years
been the admiration and glory Of Europe. They
have shown their real appreciation of music and
genius; and we doubt not that in every city where
music is loved, the tributes to his talents will
be paid by crowded and admiring audie noes. This
feeling is appreciated by M De Meyer, who is said
to be devoted admirer of the American people and
their free institutions We may expect another re-
vival in the musical and theatrical world in this city
shortly.

men this evening. The joint-committee, TO whom
referred the subject Of the West Side Railroad,
intimated that they would be prepared to present
their majority and minority reports this evening; but
in consequence of the anticipated adjournment Of
the Legislature, it is probable that the Board will
confine their attention to the discussion end adop

city charter and police laws, with view Of trans
