BowERr TnEArRE.-Last night was the concluding
night ofthe great "wizand ofthe Wave,D which still ex.
hbted signs symptoms of any decension in public
favor, and again greeted with enthusiastic delight
BY crowded audience. On Monday evening, the man.
agcr Mr. Jackson with that skin for which BY his able
management Of this Theatre he has become SO famous
has prepared bill Of great and unusual attractions An
other drama, on national subject will be produced for
the first time in New York. entitled The Traitor or the
Battle Of Yorktown" The splendid which has
attended these historical pieces founded American
history shows forciby the of popular feeling
hcy are cmineny calculated to excite that strong ma
onaty and self pride which, despite the complaints of
many public writers, rcigns stronger in the American
than in any other people This national rather native
dy, The Gamesers in which j. r. Scott, Mrs. jones' jones'
and Miss Phillips, take the prominent characters The
whole cast is strong and most judicious
GREEswIcH THEArRE.-Therc was a capital l,at
the Greenwich last night the occasion of Mr. H. r.
Grattans benefit great variety Of entertain mcnts
presented and all received with the most unbound
ed applause The people of the upper part Of the city
enjoying the delightful amusemens which are fur
nshed BY this elegant little theatre.
CHRrsrr's MiSsrRELs.-Chrysty's Ethiopian Mnstrcls
gave another Of their nimabc performances last eve
ming at Palmos to crowded audience. This company
is in many respects superior to any other which ever
visited us. There is nothing vulgar low in their per-
formances but every thing is chaste and elegant The
simple melodies peculiar to the negroes of the South are
harmonized and sung by them in such q manner as to
impa feeling Of irresistible pleasure all who hear
them Their instrumental we'll as vocal music i, Of
very superior order. Mr. Hooley their volinist could
hold high rank among the professors that instrument
and the Younger Ch1isty their bonc-payer, entirely
tened to- The castanets Of Spain sink into comparative
insgnifcance at the soft and delicate touches Of them
superior and altogether they give varied performance
which nightly draws down the most apturous applause
Their distinguished here has caused them to de-
terminc to remain week longer during which time thew
must have crowded houses
Mn. GEORGE yASpESHoEF.-This gentleman, who
is now performing at the Park Theatre, has many
Of the requisites, and yet wants some very i'm.
portan attributes Of great actor lie possesses very
fine fgure-a good stage walk-a well modulatcd voice
as high il goes Che cannot pitch his voice to high
key and very elaborate and almost fauess lama
ton No skilled in regulating the action of
his lungs. His conversational tones, which he mostly
uses very nc and his reading perfect He is be-
sides ripe schoar-posscsscs refined taste and judg
on the other hand the very eaboratcness Of his deoIa
nation spoils the effect of his finest passages The ars
ceare atem the chiefes excellence Of actor next to
Unborn genius is wanting. He lacks the power to com.
pleely ransfusc himself into his Characters His inner
sonaon is but 1.-THE counterfeit prescntmcnt, Of that Of
reality. When you him on the stage, you see Mr.
George Vandcnho giving almost fauluess reading of
gestcuiation and very we'll dssimulaed PASSION When
Kean on the stage you lose sight Of the Charles
1 ksan, and you see re or Richsrd or shy
dowmcnt inferior to those of Mr. VandenhoA has had
the advantage Of long and aborous practical training
been mostly acquired in the study In that easy natural
abandon which is only attained aer years Of labor and
jus; as the gsaas o. the aanseue only
Vandcnho is deficient His features are BY no means of
tragic caste and scarcely possible for him to school
in tragic acting He is incapable of exercising that spell
which the genius of Kean throws over his audience nor
do his bursts of passion exert that electric influence that
thrills ones and stops the current Of the blood
through the veins But his Antonyn induces us to be.
lcve that he is capable Of higher flights than he has yet
exhibited His kely" too, perfect in its Kind On the
whole MIR. vandenhofs talents of no common order
and if he but apply himself seduously to the practice OF
his profession and go through the requisite amount of
drudgcry, We have no doubt that he will yet make
great actor.
De MEYER.-This great master Of the piano was to
have given his SECOND and last concert in New Orleans
the evening Of tho oath ul prior his departure for
Mobile. The New Orleans papers speak of him with
the utmost enthusiasm. He has met as was TO be ex.
pected with most gratifying reception from the people
Of New Orleans. He was to have left Immediately for
Mobile, whence he was to return to New Orleans and
travel up the Mississippi on western tour. The con-
tnucd success of Mr. De Meyer argues well for the
taste and discrimination Of the people Of this city, Every
the United States has first received his imprsraur in
New York and in every instance in which an artist has
received diploma from the hands Of New York audi
ence, he has never been known to fail elsewhere.
Mas. MowArr.This lady, who has just returned in fine
health and spirits from most successful Southern tour
engagement at the Park tomorrow evening
There is already unusual stir and excitement among
the fashionabcs to again lady who has already ad
vanccd far in the estimation Of the patrons Of the
doubt that her will be one of the mas bril-
liant OF the season. The high estimate put upon her
talents by the people Of this city has since been en-
dorscd by the theatrical critics Of PHILADELPHIA Bau-
more, New Orleans, and other cities Of the Union. In
deed after Charlotte Cushman who is universally al
successor Of Miss ONeil and Mrs siddons Mrs Mowatt
is the only American actress Of high merit at present on
n those asr s she i
among the rest, as Gertrude" in her comedy OF
Fashion" We have no doubt that the manager
will give her the advantage Of good accessories very
important requisite to the Of great artists
After fulfilling two three other engagements, Mrs
Mowatt will visit England early in the summer and we
have doubt that her many excellcnccs will be duv
appreciated by the British public and acknow lodged b
them IN that spirit Of candor and beralty which the
people Of America have manifested towards tho Kcans
and other great English artists
Mn BRouoHAM.-Wc are happy to learn that this ia.
Tented comic lecturer has with distinguished success.
in Boston lie was to have taken benefit last evening
in that CITY, and expected sec by the Boston
papers, that he would have very crowded house. We
are gratied at Mr. Broughams success he is gentle
man, polished scholar, and the first Irish comedian in
the United States. He will visit Connecticut and will
give some entertainments in Philadelphia and baltimore
before he appears again before New York audience
He il sure to have cordial reception when he returns to
this city.
