people of the poet and The scenic artist Is
not therefore, circumscrbed in his art BY any dull
details of fact ard reality but has free scope to paint
if he can, the considerations of his brain.
Of this license the painter Of Mr.. Burtons Theater
has availed himself, and has produced number of
sceLes unsurpassed in beauty and effectiveness. The
moonlight view of the Rhine and the beautiful scene
representing the submarine house of the Maids were

dresses have been prepared on scale Of uncommon
magpcence, and the troupe Of auxiiares amounts to
small army. Although there is but little opportu'
Dy for the principal actors to distinguish themselves,
the principal parts are well DONE being in the hands of
Miss Lizzie Weston Davenport Miss Julia DAILY, Mr..
Charles Fisher, and Mr Setchell.
An extra performance will be given this afternoon,
and those who are disposed for dramatic recreation on
this patriotic day cannot do better than to 60 to Bur-
