BROADWAY TnrArRE-Mr Forrest was greeted last
evening with magnificent house, consisting of large
portion of elegantly dressed ladies' and never did he
play better This great American tragcdan delineated
the character of Macbeth in style of unsurpassed
beauty and the bursts of applause which followed
it must have been gratifying to MIR. Forrest This
powerful tragedian differs considerably from all others
in his personaton of the noble Thane. Some Of his
points truly sublime, and ELECTED from the audi

Miss Fanny Wallack took the part olLady Macbeth, in
style of excellence seldom equalled. The audience
greeted her with renewed applause Mr. Dyotts Mac

ever see such beautiful scenery rs was displayed
last ngbt-such splendid professions, such elegant
tableaux; besides all this the acting OF the various
performers excellent We regretted to hear that
Miss Mestayer had been summoned from the city by
for the evening. She did it very well indeed. The
plot Of the piece founded ON the stories of the Cru
saders, and Ghanrau as Bohemond, the Prince of Ia

Among the great number Of splendid new scenes
brought forward must especially notice the mystic

splendid one AS a spectacle, 1t Is most complete
