This Company returned TO US and opened again
al the Court House on Monday night last, since
when they have been drawing excellent houses,
and delighting our citizens with amusing and in.
strucliye Plays and Farces 1.-The Maid Of Crois-
soy" 1.-The Stranger and 1.-The Lady Of Lyons"
have been the leading pieces, followed by
ceIIent selection of Farces, such as The Rough
Diamond Mr.. and Mrs. White" " The Sol
dicr's Return" &C., besides which, the Dancing
by Miss Katie Estee, who has recovered from
the effect of The accident which prevented her ia.
voring US with her Dances when here before, has
added much TO the pleasure and interest Of the en-.
tertainments In the different pieces, The parts
have been we'll sustained Mackenzie's Stranger
really, in look and act, as perfect as any i'm.
personaton Of the part have ever seen. His
rendering of Tho thrilling sentence, "Thcro is
another and q better world" was truly an en-
bodimcnt Of all the author meant. Miss Katie
Estcllc sustained the difficult part of Mrs. Halter
in style which stamped her as an actress of no
ordinary merit-aud many stifed sob, and
many a kerchief applied 10 "wpe away a tear"
attesed the effect her fine delineaton Of the part
had upon the auditory. Our old friend, Colonel
Tidmarsh, made his first appearance before his
Charlotte friends this week actor, and al.
though the Col. has been for some time off the
stage, he enacted the " bluff old Damas,'' in the
Lady of Lyons, and Francis, in The Stranger,
in such a style as TO betray the old stager at eve-
ry step; he was of course warmly greeted by his
numerous friends.
SSharf as Peter, as usual uncontrolably
| funny, and with his udcrous positions, lugubri-
face, and superior ucting, was in truth "Peter"
The other parts were we'll performed, and on
Wednesday night The Stranger was loudly called
for, and was reproduced the following night, with
equal effect.
We must not forget TO mention little Mary's
Kitty Clover, in the excellent Farce of Mr.. and
Mrs. White-it perfect gem. This young
lady is evidently destined 10 be bright particular
star in the theatrical armament.
Mr. Hail. in many parts, is good, especially in
old men, and is possessed of genIIemanIy style
and bearing, which always indispensable re-
quistes to good actor
Miss Morton, with more animation, would do
better; she dresses admirably land is always much
admired.

Myers, Esq. of the House of Commons, who ar.
rived on Wednesday last, looking remarkably

they were at their posts guarding the interests Of

meets the approval, not only of he party who sent
him, but of The County and State.
