"Othello, the Moor of venice' and have only to
repeat opinion Of last evening" that the character
of the noble Moor in the hands Of Mr.. Hambln, was
ably sustained throughout the entire piece His con-
cepton and reading evidenced the deepest study and
knowledge of the author and his portraiture Of the
conte ndipg passions Of love and jealousy beaut
fully represented in emphatic language and appro-
pirate action MIR. Hield's Iago very good,
also the part of Casio, by Waeot. The character
of Desdemona by Miss Rose Tebin, was an excellent
personaon in fact every part allotted to this charm
ing is performed with great ability The farce

BowEkY THEATRE-Ths house was very well at
tended last evening, and the various performances
which enacted, gave great satisfaction to those
present The piece played first the drama Of the
adopted Child in which MIR. J. NJ. Scott took the
part of Michael, the fisherman, and he played tbs
honest old mariner most excelently his protection Of
the rights of the adopted child and the brave manner
which he obtains the proofs of his rghtful inher
lance, much applauded by the audience especial
ly that where he illustrates the muderous plan
against the poor orphan by disarming the villain
sent to destroy him. This drama is most interesting
one and when well played it was last night, by
Scott Miss Denim Jordan and the Others is rendered
doubly interesting. The first act Of the opera Of Gin
derella played after the drama and Miss Taylor,
poor Cinderella, gained her usual need Of applause
Miss TAYLOR as singer of difficult music such as that
OF the opera Of Cinderella, is now quite eminent, and
may ere long look forward to ranking as high as a
vocalist as she does an actress. Stevens Pom
polino was very good his buGo singing was capital
Stevens is good in everything that he and
is certainly q most valuable member Of the Bowery

the Peticoats," which was successfully played the
other evening, the drama of Tom Cringles Log" and
the spectacle Of Brian Borohme will form the

Of DEATH fully sustained the character life. Mr..
Forrest is still the great centre of attraction, and
