ST. Cu1prrs THrATRE.-We last evening, in
companv with other members of the press, and
under the guidance of our reverend friend, Sol
Smith took view of the new St Charles, or rather
the old St. Charles enlarged, renovated and i'm
proved The boxes have been removed from the
dress circle, and the space filled with comfortable
arm chairs and luxurious sofas. In the second tier
the same alteration has been made, with the addi-
ton some half dozen private boxes in front of the
stage, and even the gallery wears neat and COM
Portable appearance. The pit has also been en-
larged, and neat parquette occupies the space
where the orchestra was formerly placed-the or
chestra and stage being thrown further back, and
the space of both enlarged. The whole appearance
of the house is light and airy, and convenient The
whole strikes the eye with sense of completeness,
and capially adapted to the purpose of its con-
struction. One thing we noticed with pleasure,
and that is the increased openings for entrance and
egress, aording conveniences for ventilation, and
giving feeling of security to the audience in case
accidents should occur in a crowded house, which
adds much to the safety and comfort Of the whole.
While we were present the new drop curtain was
displayed, which was very beautiful, very mill
tnry, and very patriotic, there is need describ-
ing it, for everybody will go and see it, certain.
Upon the whole, we must congratulate Messrs.
Ludlow & Smith upon having the best theatre in
the United States, SO far the house is concerned,
of the acting we shall speak when we see it,
which will be, we understand, tomorrow night
