sicians and students can be proftably turned.

New BooKs.-The catalogue Of books to be

more prominent works are noticed elsewhere.

BIENvTLLE STREET RoAD.--We have been re-
quested to call the attention of the Commissary
to the condition of this road Being the only
outlet from the city to the Lake. Metairie Course,
and Grave Yards, the utmost vigilance is re-
quired to keep so constant a thoroughfare in the
necessary repair The piles Of shells now on
hand should be at once distributed over the
road
ORLEANS THEATRE-The French Theatre is
repaired, renovated, renewed. Its supports
have been strengthened, and its ornaments in
creased, and the whole strength Of the com.
pany appears this evening in Rossini's grand
opera of Moses" Those who recollect the
cast with which ssMoses . is performed at the
French Theatre, and the magnificent scenery
with which if is gotten up, will, of course, de-
sire to attend its representation once more
especially under the peculiar circumstances
which attend its presentation. It need not be
| repeated that the beauty of the city and coun-
try are to be seen at the Orleans Theatre beyond
any other place in this section, nor that the
music there is much more complete and artis-
| teal than what can be heard in any concerts
that are given. These things are public and
apparent, and we sincerely trust they viii be o1
avail to fill the Orleans as it was wont to be
| filed in days 'slang syne." G
| ssTwELFTH NIGHT On Saturday evening
| Shakspeare's comedy of the stTwelfth Night 3
was performed at the Varieties. The cast was
| very good, but the performance was very bad
Hardly one of the company knew what they
had to do or say, and it was q pain rather thar
| pleasure to watch the progress of the play
1t is very rarely that anything like this occurs
at the Varieties-where, generally, the greatest
| attention is paid to the production of such fine
comedies as those that have been renewed or
| the stage this season-and it is one, we doubt
not, will be speedily amended. Plaeide is capa-
BILE of putting Twelfth Night" on the stag,
| in a most excellent manner, and we trust HI
| will yet do it.
| There was q very good audience at tn
| Varieties both on Saturday and Sunday even
ings.
SoNTAG's CONCERT. Much of the musica
deluge which has been with us during the sea-
son has now flowed off, and left behind onl.
| Sontag and the legitimate melodies of the city
| of which we think far more highly than befor,
| we were able to contrast them with importa
| tons and celebrities from abroad Madame
| Sontag gives concert this evening, at the Ode
| Fellows Hall, assisted by the same individuals
| who appear in opera at the St. Charles Theatre
| 1t is unfortunate for Madame sontag that tn
grand opera of g Moses, by Rossini is to be pro
duced at the Orleans Theatre to night, whicl
| will doubtless draw the more fashionable por
| ton of our citizens Nevertheless, it is proba
ble-that sontag and Devries together will b
| honored by full house The tickets ar
| placed at $s2 for secured seats, as before
/ DAUGHTER OF THE REGIMENT. "--To-morroy
evening Madame sontag appears as Maria il
| Donizetti's beautiful opera, the 60 Daughter {
the Regiment" She will be sustained by tn
same talent as on previous evenings and vii
doubtless be greeted with full house.
| g UNCLE TOMS CABrN."-- The play by thi
name which has been gotten up for Dan Ric
and been produced by him, is having remark
ably successful run and drawing all classes {
people, Dan has great deal more histrioni
merit than we had given him credit for, and i
even better rs low comedian than as Glow
on the stage than in the ring. His " Uncl
Tom" is very rich, racy and natural affair
and deserves to be seen by all who wish to EMO
half hours good laughter.

wing with all his company for Mobile and tn
cities that lie along the Eastern seashore. TIL

not been as successful here as elsewhere-has
indeed, been little better than failure. One O

majority exhibited many unoccupied seats an

tributable to the musical deluge which ha
flowed in upon us the whole of this season an
