dan performed again last evening before crowd
ed house, and received with an enthusiasm difficult
to be described The ballet, must say, went off in
a very brilla manner, and every thing worked even
better than the night before. Every scene, every
dance and every performer appauded to the echo,
and the choregraphy Of each appreciated as it de-
served by all the cosnoscen with the graceful art of
Terpscore. Md'me. Menplaisir, at the head of her
talented aides at every other dances received
with rapturous plau6ts, and fragrant bouquets her
tours de forces startling tasteful nd grace
full The style Of her dancing, belongs to that class
which make at deep impression, and take every

de ballet assisted these artists with skill than
ever before The pageantry Of " Esmeralda," is in
scenery, which We have closely examined is not very
exact; the towers of Notre Dame principally IL must
be rcpainted; this is the only stain.' in the whole
ballet. Any how, we must award Mr. Hambiin great
commentator for the style in which he has brought
out this spectacle, which will fill his elegant theatre
for a long time.
