liant audience collected within the walls Of the Bowery
than there last evening the nrst tier Of boxes
filed with most elegantly attired LADIES' and every part
Of the house crammed at very early hour-in fact
the audience Just such one both in numbers and
intelligence actors love to play to- and managers to
see in their houses The play was Bulwer's beautiful
one of the Lady Of Lyons, Mr. and Mrs W. Walack,
Jr taking the parts Of Claude and Psune Gilbert
the bluff old Dumas b. Clarke the revengefnl reject
ed lover Beauseant Jordan his friend Claws Mrs Gill
bert Madame Deschapelles, and Mrs. Sutherland
fist thoroughly capable Of doing well and the sctug
Of all most admirable. To say that Mr. and Mrs
parts would be but doing them small juscethey were
most triumphant In them, and may with truth use
figure Of speech occasionally INDUCED in by enthus
sstic critics, and say, they carried the house by
Storm for from the first ecene where Claude receives
back the lines which he the Gardeners SOM had dar
ed to send to Pauline, the beauty Of Lyons to the
very last in the piece, the applause bestowed on
these artists loud and prolonged. The engage
ment Of MIR and Mrs. w. was admirable move on
the part of the manager and the immense es
that attend every evening show that the admiration
the public for the elevated walks the drama is
great ever and that they always ready to pa
troniEe such admirable acting is being given at
the Bowery We regret that our space does not per
points in the acting of Mr.. and Mrs w. We must,
however, briefly say that they ar. certainly well emit
public throughout the Union have accorded to them
The grand ballet Of Les Jardinieresn succeeded to
y increases in favor with the Bowery audiences The
funny farce of "Your Lfe's in Danger concluded the
Otheo"-Mr. w. the Moor, Mrs w. az Emilic, and
Miss Wemyss Desdemona. The ballet and "Jenny
Lnd,'' conclude the entertainments.
BROADWAY THEATRE.-The magnificent pageant OF
the "Enchantress terminated its brief but bright
existence last evening, expiring like Augustus in per-
feet good STYLE before large audience and amid loud
and rapturous applause. As Augustus said to his
friends his death bed, "Frends, If have played my
part we'll do you applaud me-" with that vanity which
never deserts the human mind az long it wrinkles in
its fragile and putrescent tenement the "Enchan
tressn without such appeal, departed this life last
evening, amid spontaneous applause and admiration
Sic transit gloria isundi In bidding farewell to this
grand spectacle which has fallen early sacrifice to
necessary and prudential management there many
who deserve to be highly commended for the share they
have had in producing and adding to the effect of this
beautiful operate drama and work Of genius and art
The Seguins and the company have executed admira-
bly, the Hbretto placed before them by the composer
they not responsible for the defects Of the music but
the music itself owes very much to them and to the
admirable orchestra for the precision and beauties OF
their joint execution The Seguins and their talented
company have added considerably to their already
high and deserved reputation by their admirable per-
in adequate terms Of the beauties Of the ballet the
richness of the scenery the talents Of the artists and
nature and science, which have all united and com
bined to enchant and delight the public in this most
beautiful piece! And last though not least the enter
prising management, certainly should in for a
very great share Of the well mered applause which
belongs to this departed beautywe might say subli-
Falstah, the beau ideal Of Shakspcarc's Fastaf
makes his first bow to the public, and will be
welcomed by crowds OF admirers. A new piece also
is to be produced Cocknies in California; this
is sure to be something highly amusing Altogether,
pared by the attentive managers the loss Of the En
chantress will be forgotten amid the high seasoned
dainties served up at fresh tables and again the well
sased palate Of the public will forget the rich dishes
1t has so lately been feeding in the excellence the
present new repast.

the Wandering Cockncy Schoolmaster, in California;,
the drama of the Dream Of Life" our famous bhoy
NOSES journey to the land Of gold and the farce Of

miration the audience We must say il the farce Of
Cockneys in California - has delighted the London
folks much it has according to the London
papers, they would into ecstaces ut NOSES adven-
lures on that modert Tom Tidler's ground for Mr.
Chapmans piece far superior in every respect to the
London farce The Dream of Life " IL very into

Burrows THrArRE.-This delightful place OF enter
tainment was filled to OVERCOMING last evening" by a
very fashionable audience, to witness three most cap
tai pieces called Socialism Modern Philosophy Put

The first Of these pieces received with repeated
rounds Of applause Mr. Fourier Grsley created much
fun, us the dress worn by Mr. Brougham in the charac

OLyMPIc.-The deserving machinist of this theatre
Mr. {. B. Burns, very competent gentleman who has
been for years attached to the fortunes of the Olympic
takes his benefit this evening Several actors talent
| have kindly volunteered their services and among
| them we find the name of MIR Held of the National
Theatre, who will appear in the play of "Perfection"
The friends OF Mr. Burns are numerous, and have
| doubt he will have crowded house.
| WHERE is MADAME Augusta We have heard the
| enquiry made-where Is Madame Augusta the most
amable, beautiful and most classical artist probably
that ever was seen in America She has not appeared
in public for several months in any part of the country
Upon inquiry, find she has withdrawn from the pub
lie stage for short space Of time in order to fulfil an
amiable and important duty upon the private stage of
e which is equally interesting and important to the
cause of civilization, to the continuation of the hu
man race The truth is, Nine. Augusta, about q fort
night ago, became the mother Of fine hearty, fat
young boy to the great delight and enjoyment of her
amiabc and respected husband Monsieur de St. James
This important family event will probably keep Nine.
Augusta in private life for few months to come but
she WILL we hope soon be able with renovated spirits
elastic foot and smiling countenance entirely renewed
and revived to appear again to the delight the many
and the enchanted audiences which have greeted her
in her brilliant career throughout the country

ingae has at last arrived among us after having ac-
compnshed triumphant journey from Charleston

dts and numerous bouquets. We understand that she
