In Of the characters and virtue and feeling In
the others Is utter faiure the virtue aud the vice
both overdone and the feeling exhibited destitute
of adequate motive We admired greatly the
wonderful genius and talent of the actors in piece SO
wonderfully destitute OF the least spark of genius
ent truth, nature As to Forrest his performances
was wonderful; and Miss Wallack, Mrs. Abbstt, Mr..
Dyott Lester. Andrews and Baker, did wonders.
They almost made worthless drama, good and worth
full. IL genius shining in the dark
NIBLo's.-Last evening, the play of "Henry IVn
at this elegant establishment and
never was it better put the stage, at any house
The numerous and fashionable audience loud in
their applause at the really splendid style in which it
was performed. Mr. Hackett's Falstaf most per-
feet piece of acting We prefer him in this version Of
Fasta to his performance of that character in the
"Merry Wives OF Windsor he Geems to us to give q
perfect idea of Shakespeare's Falstaf than
any actor the stage T. Placde's Francis,
Though short part on nmitably well acted, and
Vandenhofs Hotspur the fiery, reckless soldier to
the life. Mr.; G. w Clarke was well received by the
the Bowery, and We glad to him so well appre-
ciated in his new sphere of action. Tonight Mr. II.
Harcourt Courty, in the comedy Of London Assur-
ance" This play is too we'll knownto need our prai1e
Lady Gay, and G. Vandsnhof, Il. Placide John Self
ton, and c. W. Clarke, all take prominent parts the
piece will no doubt be performed most admirably. This
will be Miss Dicknson's first appearance, aud from
the very high European reputation she brings among
rs we may expect great things from her. They will
doubtless be realized.
NATIONAL THEArRE.-The extravaganza OF This
House to be Sold the first piece last evening 1t
is pretty fair hit at the decline of the legitimate
drama, which is much talked of nowadays; but
happily suits for England than for this country
where the works of GLORIOUS WHIP still find thousands
upon thousands of admirers. The burletta however,
is very funny one and 1t localized, would
take we 1t is all the points in it intended for
London audiences, and fall rather fat before assem-
blage OF New Workers The Mysteries and Mseries''
played next, and never in better STYLE Nose,
Sykesey, Captain Tobin, Jack Circle the two Lies,
were as amusing ever and much appauded, too.
The beautifully got farce Of the Pretty Girls Of
Stillberg" concluded the evenings entertainments.
This piece has been put the stage in fine STYLE and
the military manGuvering of the really pretty girls
been most admirably drilled and their marching and
would be credtabe to veteran troops
To night the performances will consist Of the farce Of
the " Dumb Dumb BELIEF in which Mr. Grattan will
take the part of O'Smirk, and the "Mysteries and
Miseries" and Pretty Girls, will make the rest of
ming, and again we ad wise all who design taking ladies'
to their seats during the day, and thus avoid
all difficulty in finding seats in the evening.
BURROWS THEATRE.-"Comus" was again presented
at Burton theatre, last evening, and again re.
ceved with demonstrations of high appreciation. The
choruses abeaux and general effect of the piece onhe
stage, is such as to warrant q warm reception. The
piece has had remarkable rum and is still fresh The
grotesque and beautiful seldom combined as to
produce the excellent effect which Is brought out by
the bacchanalian orgies AS second piece, Seeing
| the ELEPHANT was introduced, and kept the house
convused with laughter during Its performance. The
family reserved for the after piece 1t is charm
ing piece, containing several beautiful Dances per-
| formed by Miles Mathde, Adelaide, and NJ. Smidt.
There also several comic enacted by Boreas,
NJ. J. Marzetti, who in his character of the North
| Wind, is sent attendant upon Hyminie during
her visit to the earth The 'busterng railer' blows
things about in perfect ST. rm and brings down the
house in style. It's beautiful ballet and will be
| favorite
| MoRAvIAN SINGEns.-THE Observation-Disclosures
and, we fear, final opportunity afforded u.s. last
night of bearing testimony to the merits OF this
complished company, who for the last three weeks,
have afforded the public musica, recreation rarely I'd
besenoyed, and seldom fulfilled to the letter of the

CAMrBELLs MINsTRELs are progressing auely.-
Night after night their are crowded and each
succeeding evening they seem to improve in their
voices and wttticisms. Such admirable band of
singers has seldom been organized. They are now
the fashion in New York, and unlike most fashionable
things they have real sterling merit to sack them
We advise all to go and hear these admirable singers
