admirable manner in which things go off at Burton,s

the popular performances suspended and the manager
and actors disseminating duSng the interval in other
places, those dramatic att&inments which have re-

We invited last night to witness the appearance
Of the house preparatory to its re-openng Monday
and with all experie nee, bound yield to
the conviction that in point Of comfort taste embe
lishment, and internal briancy but few, if any
this country stand parallel. On entering the
lobby the first object which attracts the is
the Brussels carpet that displays its rich aud dversi
fed colors to the splendid light which reflects their
brlliancy. On entering the first tier of boxes the
eye is attracted by the chaste and comfortable ar
rapgements the benches the luxurious stye of the
cushions, and the increased accommodations for the
audience The panels of virgin white, embossed with
gold, most delicatey disposed afford to the eye re-
lief from the brilliant and classic drop curtain-the
conception and execution of Mr.. Hylliard-which re.
presents with scientific correctness the embarkation
Of Cleopatra the Queen Of Egypt, of iustrous anti
guilty, to meet Antony in the river Cydnus. The pit
and orchestra are entirely remodelled, the latter
placing the performers ris ris and the former
afording much comfort and great convenience The
private boxes arranged with every design for COM
fort and elegance, cuItsined below by blue and gold
tapestry and above with scarlet and gold Over these
right and left OF the first tier placed the statues of
the tragic and comic muses. BY these alterations the
house Is capable OF conveniently holding thirteen hum
dred PERSONS including thousand in the pit. The
whole is illuminated by twelve mag nce cha deers
Of exquisite brilliancy The public may anticipate.

CASTLE GARDEN-Those Of our heated and exhaust
ed citizens who had sufficient discrimination to at
tend Castle Garden last night epjoyed an evenings
entertainment Of no common order With the luxu
rious breezes fresh from the ocean, bv
passage through the confined ave nues of large city
ana with the performances, which were as usual ex-
ceedingly good, they knew that they received the
worth of their money, and doubt wondered that
people generally do not appreciate this place Of
counting for tastes. If people are determined to be
smothered, there Is help for them Mr. Nickinsons
personation Of in the drama Of" Napoeons
Uld Suard was an exceedingly fine piece Of acting.
We have on former occasions borne witness to the
truthulness and intensity of his acting in this cha
racter, and need only say this occasion, that he
was as good last evening If not better than ever The
remaining tiers were well performed by the able
company attached to the garden. Mr.. Hollands per-
sonason OF James, in the comic SKETCH the Board
ing School," was, indeed, rich and pleasing. The
medley overtures by the orchestra were not the least
pleasing features In the evenings amusements so
far from that, 1t was performed in a mastery and
scentinc manner and duly appreciated by those
who heard 1t. We have not room sufficient to enable
us notce tne performances at length and will only
add that Mrs. Vernon, Miss Nickinson Mrs Phillips
and the remainder Of the company discharged their
parts In an unexceptionable maj ner. Tomorrow

agreeably. On Wednesday evening next, MIR Hol-
