PARK TmEArRE.-This beautiful theatre WAS again
crowded last evening to see the new grand bal
lot Of "Esmeralda," which win now be with
drawn to give place to other novelties. Nothing
equal to it has been presented In this city for
long time. The truthful, expressive, and in
,eble manner in which the story of the piece is told
in the psntomime gsstures-the brilliant and gorgeous
spectaces introduced in every scenethe number and
excellence of the corps de ballet and the artistical
troupe have combined to for this splendid bal
let most brilliant ald successful run. Now that it is
about to be Withdrawn, it won't be doing injustice
to omit mentioning the admirable manner in which
this beautiful ballet has been got up The costumes,
the scenery the properties in short every act and
scene reflected great credit on the gentlemen to whom
this department was confded. Notwithstanding all
their attra ctions however, it is of much
isfacton to that the legitimate drama again to
resume her sway at the Park when doubt not, the
enterprisng proprietor will secure even more crowded
houses than have hronged this theatre since the pro-
duction Of "Esmeralda." These the days to try
managers souls, and we are glad to that Mr..
Hamblin has not been found wanting. Tomorrow
evening, Mr. and Mrs Gilbert will make their first ap.
pearance, in popular comedy since their return from
Europe and novelties Of ordinary kind in pre-
paration.
BowEEY THEArRE.-The present engagement Of Mr.
Hamblin at this house. has been thus far most bril-
liant Night after night the house has been crowd
ed in every part and the various tragic parts in which
he has appeared have given the greatest satisfaction to
the highly intelligent and respectable audiences who
have witnessed them. We have never seen Mr.. H. act
ons~H
present week. and his Hamlet, Virginius Macbeth and
other parts have all been performed in his best vein
Last evening he appeared as othelo, and the noble
Moor found fitting representative in him. The
and stage department, which is under the management
of MIR. Stephens, was admirable; and we have never
didy got up was last night. The other scenery
too, was most appropriate and splendid so that what
with tie fine acting of Mr. Hsmbin as Othelio the
excellent Desdemona Of Mrs Jordan, 1whe by thu bv'
took the place Of Miss Taylor, who sick and the
complete manner in which the remainder Of the cha
racters we're filled, the tragedy played admirably
as we have seen it done in New York The grand
ballet Of the Abduction of Ninan concluded the

tfu dancing was truly worthy of it. Tonight MIR.

BEoADwAY THrATRE.-Mr. Collins appeared, last
evening in two pieces-as O'Raferty, in Born to
toaGood Luck" and Morgan Rather, in " How to
Pay the Rent" The former is one of his best parts
and the delight Of the audience testified in loud
and repeated plaudits. The exquisite humor he
throws into his acting fully appreciated by very
full houses and his songs were enthusiastically en-
cored. His Morgan Rather equally we'll received
Vache, as Count MALI, in Born to Good Luck,o
was excellent; and Andrews, as Old Miller in How
to Pay the Rent sustained his part very ably with
the exception ;nat he was not always ready with

hitherto during his engagement, very indferently
cast There is abundance OF strength in the company
much merit; and the overlooking houses that Mr.
Collins draws would certainly justify the employment
of the very best talent to sustain him rne subordi-
mates should ut least be In their narts az This
is even more eventual In comedy than in tragedy,
wkere effect depends the exertions of the
principal actor than on the cooperation of his sup
porters This evening Mr. Collins appears as Pierce
Tiara in the Irish Attorney" and us Paddy Muir

sings several favorite songs.
