IHs N4rIoSAL THEATRE, last evening. was

The NATIONAL THEATRE, last evening, was
well nlled with very fashionable and highly
guished tragedisns, J. W. Wallaek and Mrs
Melinda Jones with undesirable manifesto
lions of their high appreciation Of the manner
In which they rendered the text of Shak-
speare III their respective parts of Macbeth
and Lady Macbeth. Nothing can be more DIFF
fcult in q histronic way than TO satisfy such
an audience in great play. Those who do
so may fairly be written down as having
assembled to the top-round of the theatrical ar
fists professional ladder. Mr.. Wallack is
just now in the full vigor of manhood, and
has evidently improved step by step in his
twenty years professional experience, until
he has fairly become the very first (general)
tragedian in America at this time. There are
American pieces and one or two Others in
which Forrest may excel him but in classic
-Shakesperian-drama Kean only has been
his superior on this side Of the Atlantic
This was the first occasion on which it was
ever our good fortune to see Mrs. Melinda
Jones on the stage, and we rejoice that it was
our good fortune to SEQ her in Lady Macbeth,
in which she, too, excels all others now in this
country.
On Thursday evening next, they play the
tragedy of Werner, which is said to be the
masterpiece of Mr.. Wallack. As such it can
not fail to ill the house from parquctte to
ceiling.
The SILVER ToRCHzs.-Ths Potomac Asso-
citation having offered as prize, two elegant
silver torches, to the fire company selling the
largest number of tickets to their Concert, a
remarkably brisk competition was entered in
to by several of those organizations. Last
night tho Concert took place at Odd Fellows
Hall; the room being densely crowded; and so
L
that, ut one time fight was seriously threat
ened. Up to one o'clock to-day no award Of
the judges has been made; and outside, they
who are personally interested in the matt eY
are INDUCING in speculations concerning the
painful delay to hand over those torches
P. S.-We learn that the torches will be
awarded this evening at Odd Fellows Hall.
