organized company from the United States, and
intends performing here some weeks for the amuse-

the "Maid OF Croissy, with the farce # the 'Swss
Cottage" besides variety OF comic melodies
peculiar TO the United Sties, and which were sung

were well received, and the comp my displayed
biph order of talent ia the histrionic art. They
suslaiteu mir several characters with evident sa-
fisfaciion. The acting OF Mrs. ihorne, we are
told, was graceful and dgninco-.@ef voice Is
round and sweet, and she has winning, bewitcn-
ing smile which fascinates and charms the audi

approbaton-a real California benefit
OF Mrs. and MIR. Dnnefori, &c., we nsed not
speak. They are too well known to require eulo-
GUM at our hands.

To add perfume to the violet,
Or gid California gold,
We're useless and ridiculous excess"
The company play tonight. Now for rousing
house.
The tight rope dancers and still vaulters, from
Carthagena, have performed at the theatre, for
several nights, TO crowded houses. Their elastic
skill and muscular powers have been much admired
and rspturousy applauded. They offer an ittrac-
tive bill tonight, and we think we hazard but little
in saying, there will be perfect jam within the
Old Castle walls. The natives will be there in fly
ing colors. They are death on 81 Pdldso!
THE MAILS OF THE IsrHstUs.
Ell Paadrieno, of Sunday Last, contains lengthy
article about the mails and correspondence, IN

territorial, which deserve correction. That paper,
in the first place. says that the national treasury OF

ton of the mails, by no, obtaining postage on the
letters and papers which are sent nom Panama to
the United States, the South American Republics,

ten, the treaties in existence in which Il is stpua
ed, that the mails being carried across the isthmus
