BroApwAY THEArRr-The performances at the
Broadw, last evening consisted Of the petite comedy
called the BOLD Dragons the dramas Of the LAST
Man, and Robert Macaire" The playing was all of
good character, the casts were well made, and the
parts well sustained but the feature of the evening
was Mr.. w r. Blake's personation OF Geofiry Dale
the Nicer or the Last Man The character is one
that calls for peculiar talent which, being often
requ ed in leading parts, is not cultivated TO very
same school as Grandfather Whitehead. An old msu
in his dotage. but yet unwilling to acknowledge the
jnfrmties OF age the sole survivor of his club, who
will not fail to attend the anniversary he has
his club companion seats vacated from time to time,
till all empty chairs except his owa nd the drama
represents the old coming to the last meeting,
1t is well devised see mean exquisite piece
Of acting-as presented by MIR. Blake The silence
which prevailed among the audience last evening was
sure indication of the quality Of the acting in those
fpe SCI where the heart and not the ear Is par

National THEATRE" The Esmeralds, & Glance
at New YORK. and the Pretty Girls of Stilberg,n
formed the bill at this house last evening There
a crowded house, and. usual, everything went off
with the great cciat. Mr.. Chanfrau has certainly
done much for the National theatre. When first he

Look at it Of the handsomest houses in the
Union; q rttrate company engaged at it; the most
popular dramas of the day, viz the local dramas pro-
duced at it, in the best manner; besides which, specta
ees, comedies farces operate dramas, and all the
round Of dramatis smusement produced at it in the
most objectionable style; full hsues every evening,
and wide spread reputation all over the I Mon An
this results from the enterprsng and well directed
efforts of manager Chapfrau with the aid and assist
Of actor Chanfrau, also In both capacities he
eminent and long may ne continue in his Mt
position To night the same elegant bill wf be again
played. No peasanter way of spending the evening
can be found than to 60 and see it,

Cuttle mariner Of England, who "lives at home at
ease" by MIR. Burton was, usual, most admirably
reformed and JOCK Duusby, mau as can give an
opinion by Mr.. Brougham, was perfect piece Of
genuine sailor character; and Mr. Raymond, as
Toots who represents a simple kind Of young man,
who is devoted his tailor and Miss Dombey brought
