let at this house. has been most triumphantiy sue
cessful. Madame Anna Bishop has sung better
than she has during her present engagement, and
think that the peculiar manner in which she has
appeared trusting to herself alone without the aid
OF any other singers has served to bring out her
de1fu capabilities fully than any ether mode would
have done. The grand scenas from "Tancredi;" her
splendid execution OF the delightful piece "Di tamil
palpiti the Marseillsse in the scene of the "Barr
and the various other In which she has
appeared have all been most enthusiastically recev
ed We glad that she has been re-engaged at the
Park the public never hear enough Of such vo
caism as she gives them The Monplasir troupe also,
aida" with all its beautiful dancing, pantomime,
scenery, dresses sc, still holds high place in the

Bishop, the ballet and the farce Of "Dr. Diworth,"
first rate it will consist of two faroes singing by Ma
dame Bishop, and the ballet of the "DiAbe Quatre :"
farewell benefit and on that night she will accomplish
the arduous task Of appearing as "Otheo in Rossi-
mis- fret act Of the opera Of that name and as"Des-
ters all in one evening. Madame Bishops superior
talents will enable her to go through this performance
with much ecIot.
BowEar THEArRE-The attraction of two new
pieces last evening" had the effect of filling the house
finely Every place occupied at early hour and
when the curtain rose on the new drama of the
Swamp Foxn the immense audience were all ON the
tip toe Of expectation for something grand The
drama Is one In which number of the most interest
ing historical incidents which occurred In the course
of the service Of General Marion, during the rsve-
lutionary war; introduced with much TACT and the
various and changes Of the species Of guerilla
warfare which that great General most usually
tised afford good scope for the dramatist The most
is made of them and the introduction of the horses
and the curious and daring feats performed by Mr..
Brown and his steed Gazelle, were much applauded.
The piece W II bear some pruning Simon Suggs,
though very funny character, is too continually on
the stage Some Of the doing ofhm and his followers
has bee. I'D Decidedly successful and viii doUbtless
have long run The ballet dancing Of Signors Cocca
and Sgnor Neri and the new local drama of the East
River Craftsman," concluded the performances. The
bill will be repeated this evening and those who
wish to see two beautiful dramas, besides splendid
dancing, will do well to 60 this evening.
BROADWAY TAEATRE.-TLe new and beautiful opera
of the Daughter of the Regiment" translated
literally and adapted to the capacity of those uncon
versant with the French version, repeated last
night by the Seguin troupe whose merits require from
no panegyric 1t was beautifully and efficiently
executed all through and commanded the applause it
justly merited We regret for many reasons the ter
mination Of the engagement with the Seguin troupe,
at this the tre They universal favortes with the
public; have been "long tried' and never found
wanting and by the valuable acquisition Of Mr..
Reeves and the other talents they have enlisted may
defy all competition. Mrs. Seguin takes her fare
well benefit this evening, and will appear in "Cin-
tha sacona not Of tSs onera Of Mssssn;elo conn

which she will be sustained by Mr.. Seguin Reeves,

prise that Colonel Mann, the founder Of the
beautiful of the Union the CRATE full acknow
ledgeme Of the public will be devoted Thursday
evening; when, no doubt, substantial evidence will
be furnished to his public zeal and individual respect
and popularity
NATIONAL THEATRE.-The reproduction Of three
such very popular pieces as Esmeralda,'" A Glance
at New York." and 1.-THE Pietty Girls Of Stiberg had
the effect, last evening" Of attracting Of those
OVERLOOKING houses for which the National Is so ia
nous indeed, such thing as poorly attended house
is utterly unknown at this theatre since Chanfrau
took the helm Esmeralda' was finely played. This
operate version Of the story Is equal In interest to
OF the numerous pieces which have been founded on
Hugo's novel We have, on former occasions, spoken
of the admirable mar ner in which the various per-
formers fulfil their parts In this piece; they were rs
excellent usual last evening. The Glance at New
York; was received with immense applause. Nose,
Sykesey, and the various drsmahs persona in this
favorte piece were welcomed back with the greatest
enthusiasm. The Pretty Girls Of Stllberg" with all
their excellent military maneuvrings, were greatly
applauded. Nothing can be better than the various
entertainments which Chanfau nightly gsts up at the
National and the great patronage he obtains is no
matter Of wonder to us who see how interchangeable ne
is to give satisfaction to all The bill for this evening
will consist Of the same attractive pieces
Burrows THEATRE, CHAmBrns STREET" Dombey
and Son" was performed again last night, and drew
a crowded house No wonder, for 1t is a beautiful
piece and performed with great excellence by ALL and
with perior excellence by many Of the performers.
1t seems as IT, notwithstanding the frequency Of its
performance IL only first beginning TO be APP
preciated and up derstood.
NIBLo's, AsToR PLAcE.-Mr. Macready gave re-
petition of his Macbeth" last evening, to numer-
Gus audience. We were strengthened In our impress
sion that Is his greatest part He has learned to
blend himself with the character than with any
other In which have lately him. His apostro-
phe the dagger faultess, but yet must confess
II does impress audience with that ave that Is
ascrbed to Garrick's enunciation Of It, Mrs Jones,

enupciston, acted Lady Macbeth carefully and Wen.
We observed that she has changed the reading OF the
words We fau," in the last scene OF the nrst act,

ferred that she adhered to her former reading
