BowERY THEArRE.-The announcement of Mr..
Hamblp in the character of Coriolanus, attracted
very numerous audience last evening" at this house,
the excellence of his performance of this part
Monday evening last had created quite excitement
to see him in It again I" Corioanus' is one of the
noblest of Shakspeares plays, and abounds in the
most classic and elegant language, which spoken
with the most truthful eloquence by Mr.. H. We are
more pleased with this part and that of Sir Edward
Mortimer, than with any part which Mr.. H. has ap-
peared in during his present engagement. The ele
CANT dancing Of Signora Ciocca and Signor Neri,
every evening, also great feature at the Bowery.
These most admirable artists have gained much repu-
taton at the Bowery, and number their hundreds,
and even thousands, of admirers. We are glad to

establishment, where they are so much admired The
arces and operettas with which the bill is made Of

BROADWAY THEATRE-The performance of the beau
tfu drama of Rory OMore" attracted to this thea
re last evening" very large and fashionable audience
The piece well cast; and when it is taken into
consideration that other great attractions pre-
scented at the several theatres of this city, the patron
age which Colonel Mann received last night, should
induce him and his partner to continue to select the
best actors of his company to sustain Mr. Collins in
pleased at seeing every character In the piece well
filled. Collins is decidedly the best Irish comedian
ard vocalist in this country, and will long continue
to be- what the lamented Power the great avorte
Of the people. His acting inimitable and his
songs were rendered with excellence and mirth Shan
Dhu was, usual, ably sustained by Mr. Dyott

NATIONAL THEATRE" La Esmeralda" is proving
quite successful drama at this house. it is got up
in most splendid STYLE and the story is fully
ried out in it than 1t has been in any other version
which has lately been presented in this city Mrs
McLeans peTsonation Of Gudule the mad reciuse, is
most thrilling; Is also Joness acting Quasmodo
the bell ringer The dressing of this part, however,
does not quite up to our idea Of the Hunchback
he is not made deformed enough. Starks Archdeacon
is excellent; and the final scene, where the Hunch-
The Mysteries and Miseries" is popular ever.
We the manager announces that he must withdraw
it after this week as several new local pieces are in
readiness Chanfrau knows well how to suit his
patrons that these pieces will doubtless be excel
lent ones. II they are equal to the Mysteries and
Miseries they will draw well. The National is doing
q tremendous business; and from the way in which
they keep the ball s-roing, in the way Of piling
M up 20 dne ma aas on
ring to our list Of amusements.
BURToNs THEArRE.-The drama, legitimate, lille
climate and mixed, was last night, universally
through the theatres Of the city, adapted to the
spective tastes of the public AT Burton's we wit
messed in the drama Of the 'Toetles that
have extended rsibe muscles beyond all hope Of
reasonable contraction; and we did expect that with
nnaiu hop
ted to our involuntary grimaces. But Broughsm, in
the laughable farce of Irish Help with spirit of fun
and frolic peculiar to himself and In which he
mirably sustained by Mrs Loder and Mrs. Breugham,
added another spasmodic affection, which ten.
fold increased when the Capture Of Captain Cutie,
and Bunsby's Wedding was produced Any COM
ment upon this successful adaptation to the stage Of
the most popular work Of Dickens would be super
luous. The public have borne ample testimony to its
merits and hope the success it has merited will
continue undminished Every department in this
theatre exhibits an enterprise that must command q
continuation Of its present well merited popularity
Two new and amusing pieces are underlined and the
manager is prompt and perseverng to sustain his
putation in FORGETTING all selfish consideration for the
public entertainment.
NIBLo's, AsToR PLAcE.-Alsrger more fashionable
audience we have never seen at any theatre in New
York. than that which greeted Mr. Macresdy even

country. The building was filled to its utmost capa-
