BowERY THEATRE.Mr. Ryder's benefit last evening,
was well attended, and the performances-which con-
sisted Of Julius Cesar and the farce Of Taking
the Pledge"-were received very favorably From the
long experience Mr.. Ryder has had in Shaksperian
characters he is perfect in them possible; his
performance Of them is always marked by great udg
ment and discrimination; his elocuton is excellent
and in knowledge of what is technically termed
"stage business" Mr. Ryder cannot be exceled. He
has made many friends during his engagement at the
Bowery and trust that shall at future time
have the pleasure OF seeing hm there again AS ior
played with his usual excellence, and the beneficiary

night, quite young dramatic artist offers his name
for his first beneft-we mean Master Thomas Hambn
who has Of late admirably proved his right to be
accounted of the profession by his performances

We must not omit noticing Mr. Pardey's performance
of the old diplomat, Count Morenos; 1t capital
piece of acting; also Miss Mes.ayers Lady lsa
