in admirable order and to such perfection, that
there was one continued round of applause, and that

CHArHAM THEArRE.-The benefit to the New York
Volunteers last evening, not well attended as
it ought to have been; afraid that the raising
Of the prices Of admission fady damped the sympathy
Of many; be that as it may Mr.. Chanfrau and his

made to assist the war-worn soldiers. The perform

CASTLE GARpEN.-The performan ces last night COM

tanned their character well. Mrs. Vernon, as Dame
Bradshaw, excellent Tke amusement closed
with the comedy Of" Paddy o'Rsferty" which passed
OIL with great ectdt This evening" the benefit of two
most deserving artists takes placeMessrs Bottesini
and Arditi We have before noticed the great must
sdered that they aided by host of the most brill
liant vocal and musical artists in the country there
IS every to suppose the Garden will be crowded
by an admiring diHitante, to give testimony of the
great merit and sterling talent Of these distinguished
musicians The programme is deeply interesting,
containing some OF the most beautiful gems the most
approved operas:-Cavatina Sogno Beato,n from

truly sublime piece, The Carnival of Venice exc

artist Bottesini whose on the
double bass excites the wonder, and calls forth the
unanimous cheers of every audience he plays before

gramme of uncommon novelty, and one that is sure
to attract thousands this evening. We wish to see
sterling merit and trus genius receive their reward

Burrows THEArRE.-The array of talent which the
enterprizng proprietor Of this establishment has en-.
listed under his standard should induce the belief that
discerning public would testify their appreciation of
his exertons by crowded houses We regret how
that this is not the But it is scarcely fair
to censure very severely when it considered that the
glass is ranging between 80 and 90 and that the few
who remain in town in such a temperature are more
In quest OF ices and cold air than choice comedies aud
isvoriie 1arces. The new piece dranatised by Mr..
Brougham, from Dickens novel of "Dombey & Son. ),
vas repeated last night, and was received with the
fame delight as before Mr. Burton and Mr.. Brougham
sustaining the powerful characters This was followed
by dance from Miss Annie Walters, who greatly
applauded. The one act farce of " Bamboozingo
succeeded and cannot say that any who took psrt
in it acquitted themselves much to our satisfaction
The whole concluded with the comic ballet g les
Escbelles DAmour, or the Ladder of Pove,n during
which Miss A. Walters, Mir. Fredericks and Mr. Par.
sloe danced several faverte dances to the great de-
light of the audience Several novelettes are in re-
htarsal and pains expense is spared to provide
splendid bill Of fare for the most fastdious.
CHRnTY's MINsrRELs are singing and dancing away
az merrily as ever and to as crowded houses
They talk about going away, and have made one or
two Efforts to get of. We apprehend they will find
some difficulty in leaving New York. the folks here
never get tired of hearing them. They will give fine
bill this evening.
The MeNPLAIsIRs.-This excellent ballet company
are attr citing large audiences every evening" at the
Broadway Theatre might will be the. last repre-
sentaton Of lie Dable Qustren the most beautiful
audience. Thursday evening, another new ballet
called La File Nal Gardee" will be produced and
from what we can learn it will have successful
as the other AS q whole, the company now perform
ing at the broadway Theatre is decidedly the best
nave feen for some years. The scenery Is gorgeous
and the dresses of the most splendid description.
