BURToNs THEATER.-At Burons Tneater was
play ed last evening comic fairy extravaganza altered
from the ballet ale Dable Quatre," by Mr.. Dion
Bourcicault, and rechiistened The Blue Belle" The
main idea is familiar TO all who have perused The
Arab Nghts snd consists 10 the removal Of Two per-
sons in different social positions each the sphere Of the
other. There peasantgirl and countess,wh by
fairy agency, charge their positions in life The peas
girl is removed to grand castle with all the appro-
pirate surroundings, and the Countess becomes peas
art and is introduced to the unknown mystery Of a
cottage and to her bliss is superadded the adj
diions felicity of drunken husband. Their conduct
in their changed circumstances gives rise to many
laughabe incidents. Miss Agnes Robertson, who plays
Blue Bel e. the peasant girl does it in most arch and
charming Mariner and Miss Polly Marshall, who per-
eonates the termagant Countess, is most fiery and
"Tartarish." Mr.. Burton, as Bob Barleycom, a jolly
ba K tmaker has very comic scenes, and has an
opportunity 10 display new phase of nebriation in
which speciolty he is very happy. The various other
characters of the drama efficiently filled, and the
play was successful Many songs and dances are in
terspersed, and the whole affair is q very pleasant
hours amusement. II is well put upon the stage, the
scenes and costumes being all good.

NIBLo's.-On Wednesday evening the ballet pano-

success and is likely to have run. 1t is an adapa-
ton by jerome Ravel of Victor Hugos novel of The
Hunchback of Notre Dame" and is full of fine dra-
matte effects This piece is well put upon the stage.
The scenery mostly new, aud is painted in admirable
taste, aud especially was the view Of the church OF
Notre Dame admired. The panomime introduced TO
the audience NJ Leon Espnosa, who is probably the
best comic dancer who has yet visited this country,
beside which talent he possesses superior ability IN
