THE AMPHITHEATER.-The popularity of this es-
tablishment is thing which nothing can shake. The
Saturday noon audience was as beautiful as ladies'
and children can make an audience, and as noisy
with delight and merriment as Of old. AT night the
audience, again, was large and fashionable and
last night the house was as crowded as ever. The
Backleys do not spoil Bit on acquaintance on the
contrary, they grow better, sparkling bill is Of
fered for tonight, with the great buresque of Gin
derellan at the end The Chinese fddling, the jig
dancing, the elephant show, etc, among the new
things which the Buckleys have introduced, and
which everybody should hear and see.
ST. CHARLES THEATER.-This establishment opened
on Saturday evening to large crowd of people,
mostly mascnlne who between the old-fogy pleasure
of nesting down in the same old place and seeing
some of the same old faces on the stage and the ex
citement of anticipation in regard to the new i'm
provements and the faces which are as general
thing, among the necessities of time appeared to be
pretty well satisfied. The new improvements Of the
house. however, had not great deal to do with the
pleasure of the occasion being superficial altogether
touch Of paint here and strip Of carpet there,
ETC., and nothing to keep the rascaly Whitewash of
the walls from communicating itself to the too famil
lar broad-cloth of the auditory.
The play Of /" The Hunehback passed off about
the same as upon the previous hundred times or so
Of its presentation at that old place. Mrs Farrens
Julia was every bit as lively and passionate as her
Julia of years past If she was not old fayorite
here (and people eiH acquire sort Of weakness for
old favorites we might have something to say about
her being too intense, too ready to endanger her
bloodEesses in her endeaVOrs to appease the bolster
Gus appetite of the pit, and on, but being ex
perienced actress and understanding her own and her
managers business, probably, better than we do, we
need not waste our talent tire our readers patience
by speaking of it particularly. Charley Pope, as Sir
Thomas received hearty welcome, and played with
his wonted vigor and freshness. DeBar, as Fathoa
was the same old Ben DeBar and the minor stock
were as solid and unchanged in appearance as the
iron posts of the auditorium.
Mrs. Annie Senter, the leading lady of the COM
pauy made her debut as Helen. She did not appear
to be perfectly at home on the stage, and, though
well received in the good humor of the OCCASION did
not create much of sensation. She may improve
upon acquaintance, however. Actors and actresses
labor under many disadvantages in making their first
appearance in strange city. In the afterpiece the
Q Love Chase, Miss Fanny Fitz Farren made her
debut as Constance. Her youth and freshness, and
the spirit and piquancy of her style, told upon the
audience at once. Her personation Of the coquettst
belle afforded the heartiest pleasure to all.
Last night. Yining Bowers showed himself for the
first time, and was received with the noisy welcome
that might have been expected. Miss Farren, as Ger
tTude, in the Loan of Lover" drew down the
flowers plentifully. Her mother was her former sell
