PARx THxArRx.-Mr. Power appeared last evening
In the Irish Ambassador" and the Nervous Man,
He appears TO advantage In Sir Patrick Plenpo
than In any other part he has yet attempted He Is
we'll sustained in the character and 1t would 60 off
very we'll II he could contrve to throw more life into
his acting, and to manifest more and confidence
The Nervous Man" is piece of which we do not
think much. 1t is too broad a caricature to be
and the plot is well sustained Much depends upon
the character Of Aspen which was last evening" very
well played by MIR Gilbert The part Of McShsne is
too rollickng, joyous, and aunty for Mr. Power His
acting is not sufficiently matured to undertake the
part Indeed IL is of the most difficult he could
attempt, and until he is better versed in stage bust
ness we would prefer to see him in some other part
The new farce Of" Founded On Facts'' well played
by MIR. George Parrett as Captain Har.ood, Mr.. Gil
To night. the " Nervous Man." and Paddy Carey"
will be presented with Mr. Power in the principal parts

Power, and has not been lately produced boards
The farce of Founded Facts" will also be repeated
BowERr THEArRE.-Processions and outdoor
elements of any kind, but more especially poticsl
ones always pref udica to theatres though during
the present campaign, these causes have had less
effect than usual the houses Last night, however
the grand torchlight political procession had tie
effect of thin ming down the numbers of the Bowery
audience. Still, there was quite respectfully sized
audience, and the performances were much reshed
by those present Life" the sweet singing of the
serepaders, and the very laughabe farce Of Going
to the Trot were the entertainments and they passed
of with great 6cat Lfe is liked better and better
every time il is played and the acting of j. Hail.

or the New Orleans serenaders can only say they
most original and amusing set or singers. Their
witty songs and funny sayings elicit imme applause
The farce of Going to the Trot" is very amusing
one, and the continual laughter Of the audience,
proved how they appreciated it. Tonight, " Life"
the serenaders and the very favorte drama of Lillian
the Show Girl" will be the attractions In this last
piece both the little DENNIS play

romance, and mystery, produced at this theatre
last night, and most efficiently represen by Messrs
Dyott Vsche Hadaway, Lester, and the other leading
members of this admirable stock company, including
Mrs Watts and Mrs Abbott and the ever fascinating
Miss Fanny Walack. In every respect the entertain
ments were admirably conducted, and if it had not
been for the great monopoly of the democratic torch
light this attractive piece would have been
enjoyed with much qualification by many who sacri-
feed the rational recreatons of the drama to the bub
BILE of polite ! enthusiasm. To those who witnessed
the representation, the qualification duly appre
ciated both in the comedy and the admirable after
piece of An Object of Interest,"" which most eff
GENTLY performed The public will be gratifed to learn
that MIR Forrest will appear at this theatre this
In the Gladiator two OF his popular cha
racters; and as this gentlemans engagement cannot
be extended beyond the latter occaeon, his reception
will, NO doubt, be equivalent to the attraction
National THEATRE.-" Damon and Pythias," and
the burlesque of" Otello the pieces advertised
for last evening at the National. Mr.. Scott was to
have played in " Damon and Pythas" but when the
hour for commencement had arrived he not on
hand consequently the piece could not proceed and
the farce of the "Spectre Bridegroom" The
Mummy" and 4" Otello' were played. We regret
much 10 see MIR Scott so careless of his for
punctuality in fulfilling his engagements, as thus to
slight an audience twice within one week. We are
afraid 1t will not add to his popularity If it does
net din inish it. With care and attention he might
continue to retain his hold the good opinion
of the public, and trust he will the necessity
gageme nts he nay make. The Spectre Bridegroom,
went off admirably Burke was the Diggery and
Dawes the Ncodemus of the piece and they kept the
house in a continual roar. Burkes Dggory Is one Of
the richest pieces Of comic acting that have
seen, and Dawes as Nicodemus was equally comical.
Dawes most useful actor and is dessrvedy great
favorite at the National Mr. Rice's negro persona
