and Mr.. Charles Walcott will personate Sir Harcour
Courtley, also for the first time. The cast also in
cludes Mr.. Blake, Mr. Lester, Mr. Peters, Mr.. Bur-
nett, and Miss Mary Cannon, and the performance

terestng ever given upon the New-icrk boards.
Burton's.-Ihe new Theater of Mr.. Burton is in the
full tide of success and the efforts of the company
rewarded by audiences Of the hugest dimensions. The
Witch Wife, play written for Mr.. Davenport, has
been produced aud is repeated this evening. This
piece has positively nothing to recommend ii it is
devoid of interest of plot elegance Of language aud
novelty of incident it is miracle of dulness, and
shows how subject affording ample material for
good play may be utterly spoiled by the bunglng Ia
bors of an incompetent dramats Mr.. and Mrs. Dav-
enport Mr.. Charles Fisher, and Mr. Burton, do the
best they to keep the audience awake, and for
their sakes all sbillant demonstrations are subdued
into deep sigh Of relief when the curtain finally falls
upon the last dreary scene. Miss Polly Marshall I'M
proves upon acquaintance, and destined to become
favorite 1t is rumored that Mr.. Burton has in course
of preparation some Shakespearlan plays which Will
be performed with that attention to accuracy and
effectiveness which has characterized his shake
spearian revivals.

said 10 have accomplished the aniabe feat OF devour-
inc woman and child immediately before his capture;
but now that he is to be introduced to civilized COM
uunty his diet will be changed and an effort made TO
CONQUER his cannbalistc propenses. He already so
far reformed that ladies and children may approach with
npunity and anxious mothers need not fear for their
tender offspring. Speaking seriously the serpents now
on exhibition at this establishment are without ques-
ton the largest ever seen in the country and are well
worthy the attention not only of the public generally
who only look at snakes to shudder and to smash
their leads but of scientific naturalsts, who want 10
zee what nature can develop in the vermicuar dres-
ton when she really gives her attention to it.
