Theatrical and Musical.
PARK THEAraE.-Ths combination Of opera aud
ballet At this most orderly and beautiful theatre pre-
sents suoh attractions to keep constant
Of crowded houses The pieces produced are In the
best taste and nothing brought upon the stage
that can offend the most sensitive. Madame Bishop
appeared last evening In two sosnss from Rossini's
opera Of Otso," appearing first Otelo in proper
costume and color with all the stage accessories aud

we have lately seen Then there Is Scotch jig by the
whole corps de ballet, most graceful pas de deur
by Msdamoiselle Anna Bulan and Mr.. cornet and
to crown all, polka rationale by Mons. and Madame
Monpaisir In which they surpass all their former
srchness and abandon Of this beautiful dance. They
were received with vociferous applause, and the
audience was not satisfied until the dance was re-
peated. We regard an encore of most aborous
dance OF this nature as in extremely bad taste, al
.n""sn certainly under the strong excitement some
evoke such enthusiasm IL they would avoid the fatigue
OF an encore. With great good humor the dance
afterwards called before the curtain to receive the
| paudits and bouquets showered upon them without
stint We have scarcely to notice the charming
acting of Miss Rose Tebin in the farce 1t was, how.
ever, fully appreciated by the audience. To night,

NATIONAL THEATRE.-The popular drama Of Jack
Sheppard" was performed last evening as the FIRST
piece Miss Mestayer Whose benefit it was) acted the
part Of the famous burglar, and most patty; hand
some Jack Sheppard she made. Her fine figure was
shown to much advantage by the style of dress she

Burrows THEATRE, CHAMBERS SrREET.-Last night
the benefit Of that meritorious actor Mr. Lynne;
and crowded house evidenced the appreciation in
which he is held by the public. 1t was an adventurous
effort to appear FalstaG; but contrary to anticpa
tons, he made We think, decided hit We thought
he played the part quite well have ever seen
played on any stage in New York. The other CHI
raetefs quite respectaby done though to ali who
recollect the late Mr. Fisher in the part Of Francis
opportunity was afforded last night for uDfavorsbe
comparison. But there few men gifted With the
high and extraordinary comic powers which Fisher
possessed. We say thisin disparsgement Of no living
actor; man may fail in part wsile he shines in
another. Witness Burton's Dr. Ollapod night before
last and Chippendale Bramble where the latter fell
far short of Burtons Brambe, at the Astor Theatre
and Burton himself as DR.. Oapod, seemed to us far
short of the Onapod at the same place So much for
candors sake and Independence. The other entertain
ments were well received Mr. Leach Gang what was
called popular ballad, which, no sever was neither
popular nor greatly pleasing but rather too funeral
for the occasion This evening" is said the last op
portunty afforded to the public of seeing "NewiY ork
in Slices" when those who have not yet seen this
assemblage Of views Of New York, and the compliment
tsry character Of the Reporter, about which much
has been said will have opportunity of witnessing
It for the last time.
BROADWAY CIRoUs-This delightful place was filed
last night again. to witness the nary beauty
