BowERY THEArRE.-The more see of Mr. Muir
doch, the more is opinion that he ia
good judicous, and intelligent actor his reading ia
truly excellent, and he has the good talent in an
actor nowadays of thoroughly identifying himself
with the character he assumes, and if he will be con-
tent to choose his plays from among the standard au
thors he will do WE'LL by this do not mean to de-
precate Jacob Lcser'-that piece is an interesting
one and has some fine passages in it, STILL 1t is scarce
ly the play to obtain favor in the mind Of the public
The characters all save Jacob too common place
ana trivial for instance, where Bayard meets in
Dat with Leisler his complaint that he had been de-
graded by sitting down with mechanics is almost lu-
dcrous for though Lesler had taken possession of the
government it cannot be presumed that he extended
mis- sway 80 far during shorregn cause Bay
ard to SIT at table with any he did fancy or in
fact that he had interfered ut all in such affairs The
character too, of Derrick Leer too puerile and un
equal-at one time all fire and fame with Inpoldsby
ut another time signing that he could not handle the
sword MS father gave him. But do not wish to de-
tract from the general tenor of the piece which taken
all in ALL Is as fair production we can expect now
and all ought to see it. MR. Hambln deserves much
credit for the enterprise he has shown in producing it
New York in the olden time, very beautiful and the
indian tableauI the handsomest things of the kind
we have ever seen 1t will be repeated this evening,
with the " Jacobte."
CHATHAM THEArRE.-The continual succession of
crowded houses here must be of great satsac-
ton to Nose, who thus the people gong I'M for
him with all their strength. We need say no more
than that the excitement stin continues The i'm
mortal Nose stu goes round with cousin william and
Winans, Joe, does the Catharne market loafer to
perfection Rae rs the sharper, too very good; his
cool impudence, when trotting cousin William to see
the sea horse in the tub of salt water is inmitabe
Mrs. Booths Katy is capital Katy though should not
DO iady's maid she ought to be something more con-
genial to the bhoys taste. Little Miss Denim acts we'll
and her uncle is dressed and looks the candidate for
Sing Sing to perfection Tonight Of course the piece
Is repeated, with other amusing plays.
CHRDTY's MINsrRELs.-Like the railroad overture
when these philosophers get a-gong, there Is stop
