part last evening, and tho utmo't enthusiasm pre-
vailed among the audi nee. The drama of the
'iwhisler performed first; and the excellent act
Ing of the young DENNIS, in this piece, applauded
highly. These little ladies though young in years
profcients in acting, and have long and successful
career befjre th,m. The drama Of the" Whistler is
founded thtsatter part Of Walter Scotts novel of
the Heart of Midlothian, that part where Enie Deans
finds the offs prng of her shame wild half savage lad,
among the hills Of Scotland IL is fitting theme for
drama and the version Of il, at the Bowery is highly
wrought and interesting. We need not say that all
the characters well played The remainder of
the performances went of in hne style, and the i'm
mense audience, at the conclusion of each piece,
eyinced their delight by long continued cheers. The

old Col. Hardy, Miss Roberts Eliza Hardy, and
Mrs. Maeder the yivacious Mrs Phoebe Mr. Ham,
monds performance Of the meddlesome intrusive busy
most admirable. We admire the easy and natural
manner in which MIR. Hammond goes through his part
Paul Pry is rather difficult character to perform with
any degree Of originality, as many actors Of emf
hence have made 1t pet part that but little ground is
left for any improvement on the usual reading of it,
Mr.. H., We can only say then, most excellent
Paul such one as is seldom the stage. Chip
pendales Colonel Hardy fine piece Of acting the
rras cblc and, indeed tyrannical old martinez of
Their, done to the life. We think Chppendale's
forte lies decidedly in the portrayal of such chsrac
ters. The Phoebe Of Mrs. Maeder was excellent, and
