PARK THrAraE-Ths performances at the Park last
evening were the benefit of Mrs Mowat thu talented
authoress. and actress The new play Of Armand was
performed for the hh time and was received by large
and fashionable audience In manner which furnished
udubtabs proof Of the excellence Of the play and the
manner Of It's performance. During the representation
Of the touching scenes Of this most beautiful play,
observed than countcnancs which told plainly
that the better part Of human nature afectingy
addressed Not only fair cheeks were made the tho
rougharss which tears coursed but manly and fur
rowsd faces observed to be and required
the frequent application Of cambria. The play that
all the familiar with their parts tells far better
than 1t did when 1t first brought out and only
regret that another week is not allowed for 1t to
stamp itself more indslibly upon the memory Of the
Park audiences But enough has been of 1t to give
to II the stamp Of approval and the fair suthoress will
leave US with well founded hopes, that her in
England will DO such to repay her for the sacrifices
which she makes In leaving her country to seek the
reward Of her srduous abors on the other side OF the
Atlantic The comedy Of the Honey Moon" was the
last entertainment the bill for last evening Mrs
Mowatt and Mr. Davenport remain at the Park night
more and Armand will be presented again this evening
BowERr THEATRE It Is almost unnecessary to re-
mind readers that the piece, Z" The Siege Of
Monterey; or, The Triumphs Of Rough and Ready" will
be repeated this evening" for judging by the large houses
which have attended It's representation thus 1t would
be madness the part of the manager to withdraw
present The oftener 1t Is the 1t is admired
and ct every successive repetition hundreds Of per-
sons cannot procure sdmittanee. When this piece Is
withdrawn, the patrons Of the Bowery have another
great treat before them In the line, and based
the subject the "siege Of Monterey is Although
the public know that what they s purely dramatic
spectacle in which the heroes both sides person
atsd by Americans Is amusing to witness the applause
with which each American military character receiv
ed and the comparative silence that marks the entry Of
the Mexicsns the stage although must be acknow
lodged the parts are well done. This Is only natural
but 1t proves the Of the manager in presenting
to his audience the events of the with Mexico
graphically asto make his spectators believe that the
real, instead Of the mock heroes are before them.
CHATHAM THEArRr-Three excellent and much ad-
red pieces are presented by the manager Of the Chat
ham Tor the amusement Of his patrons, this evening
They consist Of the drama In three acts the Lone
" Man OF the oean or the Night before the Bridslp
the "Barrsck Room" and ssm swipes or tho Upper aud
Lower Ten Thousand" The first named piece we would
have thought sufficient to all the house. as Il has done
every night since is representation but Mr. Fletcher Is
not content with that although IL Is decidedly verv
excellent and deserving piece but he must add two more
start study TO please to the extent OF his power s
who patronixe him. There be no doubt that the
Chatham Theatre never was In prosperous condi
ton than 10 n at present II the manager but perse
yerss In the track he has marked out and which he
has succsedsd 90 we'll thus far he need have no fear of
accomplishing Ill that he hopes for His theatre now
LAsr PrnroRxASor or THE RAvELs AT PALmos--Ths
soirse dadsu Of these talented acrobats took place
lest evening, before the most crowded house Of the
