AMERICAN THEATRE.-Last evening Mr.. Booth
appeared in his famous character of Sir Giles
OUerreach, in which he gave infinite satisfaction to
a numerous and fashionable audience, who ex-
pressed their delight in unanimous applause. In the
last of the play, the contorons of Mr. Booths
counenance, expressing rage, ma mess, and death,
were truly terrific. So highly finished performance
it is seldom good fortune to witness Mr. Greene
as Justice Greedy, Mr.. Charles as Wellborn and
Mr. Spear as MaraU, all acted admirably, adding
much to the general success of the piece. Nor must
we forget to mention that Mesdames Pope and
Green, and Messrs. Grerson and Keller made the
most of their respective parts. Tonight Mr.. Booth
appears Bertram, and no doubt the attendance al
the American will be great. The manager, for his
liberal outlay and spirited specuations deserves
golden harvest, and he is sure TO reap one during
this engagement.

ST. CHARLES THEATRE.-Hachet y Co IN the
MERRY Wiues of Windsor''-It has seldom been
our lot of late years, to sit out play with the
degree Of pleasure as on the above occasion, on
Tuesday evening last. The comedy brought out
the talent of this excellent company in bold relief
the cast including all its comic force. Hackett was
rich and unctuous in the vain Lpight Time and
practice has mellowed his conception of this great
character, and We hazard nothing in saying we
think he now stands without rival in it. Vanden-
hoff has made study Of the difficult part of Ford,
and played with great spirit. Chippendale, in the
simpeton, Master Slender, was capital as, indeed,
We're Fuller, Watson and Fredericks in their respec-
tue roles; nor must we omit the humble part of
Simple, by Mr.. Coad-it was in good keeping-not
overdone. The Merry Wives " were merrily en-
acted by Mrs. Jones and Mrs. r. Russell, and we
must say.we admire the greasy knights taste. Miss
Coad, as Anne Page, looked pretty-(could MT she
introduce a songD The whole affair was comic
treat of the highest order. We observe it is re-
peated this evening, and advise all friends and,
as the bills say, the public in general, to % be
there and see.''

PANORAMA OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIvER-Where
painting of even forty fifty square feet in size
is heard of, we naturally desire to see how so much
canvas has been covered effectively; how much
greater is our admiration and astonishment in
creased when we hear of and see picture cover
ing thousands on thousands of feet of canvas, de-
picting scenes familiar to our view so faithfully
that we can almost fancy ourselves gliding by the
point represented, on steamer, and gazing upon
the great Cities towns, bluffs, ETC., that line the
shores of the mighty Mississippi river, from where
it pours into the gulf of Mexico to the beautiful and
romantic falls of St. Anthony. This is the only
painting in the world that represents the magnif-
cent scenery of the Upper Mississippi-a country,
over which, but few years ago, the children of the
forest the untutored Indian held undisputed
sway. Now, the tide of immigration is sweeping
them away, and in a few years MORE towns and
cities will rise where the rude wigwam now stands
To Mr.. Stockwell belongs the credit of being the
first artist who, after years of hardship toll, and
danger, spent in sketching the upper river. has
transferred it to canvas in such ifeIike colors as
speaks him man of unmistakeable genius and
perseverance. Let no one fail 10 see this great
