been very numerous, and 1t must have been profta-
BILE time. With the well organized company which
Mr. Hamblin has engaged, he is enabled to present
every kind of theatrical amusement, in most perfect
manner. Tragedy OF melo-drama, comedy farce-it
Is equally well done, and all those pieces, which, in
produced in better style at the Bowery than at any
other theatre In the Union The immense stage and
abundant supply of magnificent scenery, Ito which,
by the by additions continually being made give
this house the pre- emnence all others. Tonight
two pieces will be produced: The first is founded
on the adventures Of Gil Bias de Santiane Who is
there who has not read and over the life of this
most pleasing and lucky of all adventurers from the
time when he starts from his uncles care until the
end of his career? From the title of the present adsp

lier ventures and Bias the boy of Santillane
personifed, he will be tonight, by the charming

ng will be played previous to 'Gil Bias" and Jenny
Lind"
NIBIo's THEATRE.-Although the attendance here
is respectable yet from the great talent engaged
by the indefatigable manager, Mr.. Niblo, we are
somewhat surprised that the house is not crowd.
ed every night Pacide is generally acknowledged to
be of the best edians;-Chippen dale, also an
= Incompatible
Twitcher, and Mr. Dawson, who is nightly eheered in
every character he undertakes-and though last not
Telbin who is general favorite. There but few
OF the corps dramague and when it is considered that
the amusements diversified by the introduction Of
light operate sketches in which Miss BRENT and Mr.
Mapvers sustain the principal characters with great
vocalability surely this host Of undoubted talent
bill sSs to-
g The Village Doctor" the musical sketch of The
Sentinel" and the beautiful peice called Napoleons
Old Guard." The performance Of Haversac, by Mr..
Placide and that of Melanie BY Miss Rose Tebn are
in themselves, worth the price Of admission This is
astrong BILL and no doubt will attract large
blsge.

the true oasis in this wilderness of brick and mortar
and hot, dusty streets has been well attended during
the past week The performances have been Of varied
kinds. Italian concerts, with all the most eminent
performers, both vocal and instrumental, dramas,
farces ballad concerts cosmoramas &c, bave by turns

mined not to stop in their well doing but will go
theoretically as ever; and during the present week
Cline the most splendid performer in the world the

cupied by his unequaled dancing It is really aston
ishing to witness the grace security and elegance

likewise be played this evening; Holland, Nckinson
Mrs Vernon and the rest of the company, all appear
ing In the course of the evening.
Burrows THEATRE.-Ths beautiful theatre is going
ahead in consequence of the untirng exertons of the
proprietor in selecting talent Of the first order and
producing new dramas often. To- night, the
farce of the "Tpperary Legacy will be performed for
the first time. Mr. and Mrs Brougham, the celebrated
John Dunn, admirable comedian, as also excel
lent young actor Mr.. Raymond will sustain the prin-
cipal characters This will be followed by " La Ron
da," by Miss Anne Walters. But the prime feature
ofthe evening will be the truly laughable burlesque
called Lucy did Sham Amour which received
with reiterated cheers on Friday and Saturday
nings The in which it is put upon the stage
does credit to the management and the disarrange-
ment of the music it is called reflects great praise
on MIR. George Loder under whose superntendence
the musical department is placed. We advise all the
lovers Of genuine mrth to this piece is really
scene alone by Miss Chapman, is sufficient to excite
the risible faculties Of the most gloomy persons and
her imitation Of Madame Bishop in the beautiful me-
lody of the Guadaquiver is really the most laugha-
bic, capital thing we have ever heard.
