series Of plays which have boon produced during the
present engage ment Of Mr. and Mrs j. w. Wallack Jr
have been performed in style which 1t would be din
cult to excel. Mrs. Wallack can indeed claim high
position in the ranks of her profession Is Lady Mac
and several other Characters she has displayed the
most consummate skill actress; but her acting
EVadne last evening in the magnificent tragedy Of tho
| bridal exceeded anything we have yet seen her do,
ana the immense audience which densely thronged
the house, exhibited the most marked proofs of the
great satisfaction which her performance gave them
1t was most Intellectual and lofty piece of acting on
her part such as we have seldom cqualled any
stage We trust before the conclusion OF their
ment, the Wallacks will again appear in this piece as
Mr; Walsek's acting was equally as splendid an effort
az that OF his talented lady Nor must we omit notic-
| ing the excellent manner in which Mr. MacFarland
played Amintor 1t WAS very much applauded. We
are glad to see this gentleman the Bowery boards
heis young actor Of much talent. The "Bridal, was
received with such enthusiasm that, as we have said
before we trust the public will be favored with rope
titon Of it ere long with the same excellent cast Of
characters as last evening Tonight "Hauet'' is to

Queen the unfortunate Ophelia will be represented by
Miss Mary Taylor: grand ballet advertisement, in
which Ciocca. Neri and q. w. Smith, will appear, and
laughable farce, will form tho Of the entertain

Broadway NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. crowded house greeted
Mr. Forrest last evening in the character of Macbeth
The attendance very large and the applause very
enthusiastic. Mr. Forests costume magnificent,
and the music of the pecefor the music Of "Macbeth"
forms inconsiderabe portion Of the interest Of the
play--was remarkably well executed. We thought
detected some voices among the witches that have
heard long ago with pleasure the old Park boards
missed to be the merry face Of poor Fisher,
| and the chubby profile of Povey; but we were re-
minded nevertheless of oden times, by the musical
tones of OF those who have the principal parts in
that witches chorus. Mr. Dyott's Macduf like every
character that gentleman undertakes done better
than it could be done by any body else we know Of

good AZ it might be- but it was nevertheless quite
spectacle. MIR Fredericks, Banquo, acted with his
usual ability 1t will be that we have not spoken
| of Mr. Forests Macbeth. We have avoided doing So
because scarcely know what to say of it, 1t ex.
hibited many points Of force and excellence but it
certainly was not Macbeth according to our ideas OF
the character The fact is it is not part in which

think he could with some care improve his reading,
which is in many instances caprcious and vague He
appears this evening in =" Damon" part in which he
has superior Mr.. Dyott plays Pythias.
NATIONAL THEArRE.-There fine house here
last evening, and the performances Of the usual
racy description. The first piece the farce Of
Cousin Joe-a aughable enough affair, though it has
not much Of plot the principal fun in it being the
awkward position in which the gaueheries of an unedusat
