perfectly surprised General Jack by completely turn
ing the tables upon him The piece well cast and
went of with the greatest possible eeat The beauti
ful ballet followed, in which Madame Monplsisir de
ghted the entire audience with her graceful and
rior da cling. To attempt description Of the ballet
would be vain for It Is impossible and no one car
have conception Of its beauty without witnessing It
II is got up in most magnificent STYLE and by far OK
ceeds any ballet performed on the American stage
and the house Is nightly crowded, sure proof OF the
superiority Of the entertainments To those who
deferred from going to the Park in consequence Of the
crowds which assemble to the ballet Esmeralda,
would say the family circle Is most beautifully
fitted up and furnished, expressly for the accommoda
ton of ladies and family parties and the
seeing and hearing are not surpassed by any other
part Of the theatre 1t has separate entrance from
the d.ess circle and the price is only fifty cents.
BswERY THEArRE.-There very fair house last

dancers and nightly their exertions are applauded
most heartily The rest Of the entertainments went
off well. During the coming week, Mr.. Hamblin VIII

"Csriolanus," among Others will be got up in mag
ni6cent style We expect that Mr.. H.'s personation
OF the naughty Roman will be fine one. The Bow

sitting city and they right to go there as It is

Broadway THEATRE-Knowles celebrated play Of
" The Hunchback" was performed here last evening,
The part of Master Walter, by Mr.. Fredericks, was

by MIR. T. Shaw was sustained with much ability, and
Miss +. Wallacks Julia was excellent personation.

NAIIoNAL THrArRE.-The drama Of the " Golden
Farmer was again performed last evening, and In
most excellent style; Chanfrau is most excellent
the Golden Farmer, and displays very good judgment
IN his performance Of the most interesting, though
painfully affecting, parts of this drama. Burke's
Jenny Twtcher is funny piece Of low comic acting;
his Cbbery of Harry Hammer the tipsy toast drink
ing adctioneer, most ludicrous scene, and the
audience WAS highly amused at IL This melo drama
has probably been more than any piece ever
brought out in New York. Years and years ago we
remember, when it first brought out at the little
Franklin SATIRE what an extraordinary run 1t had
aud to this day. il acted particularly with

laurbable farce, called Poor Plicoddy," in which
Mi. Burton sustained the principal character IL IS
unnecessary of course to FAY that it met with warm

vOked. MIR Charles Winter performed some most
bounded satisfaction as did Mr.. c. Lehman, who
also appeared the tiRht-rope. In consequence Of
tomime Of Vol au VENT was omitted, and that Of
