During the past week. all the theatres have put forth
great attractionssome Of them have been we'll patron

Managers, however, must put up with slack seasons,
well other folks-the public taste is sometime
very capricious. Tomorrow, however, will be grand
day for them all, and every place of public
will doubtless be filed to overfowng. They are all
making great preparations and, at the following
houses, two performances will be given, vz in the
afternoon and evening-Bowery, Chatham, Niblo's,
Castle Garden, Christy's Minstrels, and the other
places about town. Great preparations have made
and extra attractions will be offered at all the various
places Of amusement.
BowERY THEArRE.-J. r. Scott and Miss Taylor
have been performing here during the past Scott
concluded the engagement which he commenced q
couple of weeks ago. and forced to retire from in
consequence ofndispositlon His benefit toerably
well attended, and the patrons of the house in which
he may be said to have established his reputation still
look with kindly eye him. Miss Taylor has been
the Rag Picker Paris 1t was first rate piece lit
tie too long, perhaps, for these evenings st
has become great favorite Miss NJ the Partisan
sempstress, was excellent; and Marshall as Father
Jean the Ragpcker was as correct and udicous he
vorte at the Bowery his reception on saturday when
he undertook at half hours notice. to perform the
part of Brutus in place Of Mr.. Scott was q most
thusiastic one. Such disappointments to the public
are very unpleasant but the Bowery is fortunate in
having an actor like Mr.. Marshall, who ceverly
fill gap at moments notice During the coming
week, there will be great times at the Bowery Miss
Taylor remains there for short time longer The
drama of the "Wizard Of the Wavej, which produced
so much excitement last winter is revived this
evening, and will probably have long run; farces and
company &C., will also be Played and one will be
able to complain that they cannot find amusement
enough.
NIBLo's.-The Viennoise dancers, and amusing
farces, admirably acted by Chippendae, John Seton
al N tba foFf haA of;c
been the attractions here during the past week. NJ
Bihin, the Belgian giant, has also appeared in
tab!eauI, &C. He is an immense man, and well worth
seeing for his size alone. Niblo may well be styled
the Napoleon of summer theatres every thing gets
up is tasty and elegant and indeed his establishment
has become as much n matter Of necessity in New
York, as Croton water. The charming Viennoise
children have delighted all the town they seem to be
quite in appro pirate sphere on the boards of the
elegant Astor Place Opera House They will perform
again this evening" and the Belgian giant will also
appear The farce of "A Kiss in the Dark'' will make
up the evenings amusements
CHATHAM THEArRE.-Mr. Chanfrau has returned
from Boston, and been playing in "New York as 1t s'
every evening during the past week. The extraordi-
nary fidelity and truth of his deneaton of that class
known as the b'hoys, has placed Mr.. C. prominently
before the public and he WILL doubt, always be at
the head Of this class of character. 1t was happy
thought in the author of this piece the
b'hoy as he really is without exaggerating him any
more than what absolutely for stage
effect The stage characters generally beyond all
proportion. The Yorkshiremen 1rishmen, French
men, country squircs and all the stereotype charac
tiers to be found figuring in every farce and comedy
generally bear much resemblance to the character
piece of chalk does to cheese In Nose however
the author has merely transferred to the stage the
tual character, as 1t rs to be
and MIR Chanfrau has acted it with equal exactness;
hence its great popularity We hope that future play
as 1t Is" and favor with natural pictures of every
day life they may depend it the public will appreci
be substituted for +" New York as 1t IsD this even
ing Miss Mestayer will take the part of the counter
dramas personG will shine out large as life Bar
ney Williams will also appear in couple of Irish farces
The season at the Chatham is drawing to ciose-but
1t has been most profitable one, should think and
has done much to bring the house into notice.
CASTLE GAnDEN.-The warm sutry weather which
we have had during the past week. has just the
thing for Castle Garden, which is probably or indeed
positively, the coolest place in the city We have so
frequently called attention to its natural and quired
advantages of situation for place of resort
and 1t has been visited by many thousands, that
need not now repeat our encomiuIns it. Besides all
these excellences French & Heiser have made many
improvements lately in the entertainments which
they present to their patrons addition to the excel
lent dramatic company, under the direction of Mr.
Holland, they have engaged that favorte family the
Hausers the successors to the famous Rainers to give
concerts between the dramatic pieces. They thus
provide series of most elegant and refined anuse-
Boarding School," and 9 Family Jars" with the
Hauser concert. viii constitute the amusementsI
CHRIsTYs MINsrBELs-These universal fayorites
continue ON the even tenor Of their way singing
cling and joking TO full houses, night after night in
their own unriy allied manner. They are the most
highly polished negroes that have ever come among US
and the immense patronage they have received and
will continue to receive is all owing their merits
and determination to fulfil their contracts with the
public TO the letter. They commence the week this
evening with first rate programme.
BANvARp's PANoRAMA.-This unique and original
picture is quite of the lilo of the CITY, No one
ought to omit visiting it, Banvards name will be
handed down to posterity the originator found
and the Mississippi river through his means will be
now familiar scene to thousands who have never
stirred from home
The STEyERMARKIscHE MUSICAL COMPANY propose

perfect harmony, such admirable time such exquisite
