New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1858-11-13

THE RETURN FROM CAPT1vITY.n-The mighty
tide Of travel which week ago began to set toward
New Orleans, is pouring in its floods of humanity at
every avenue. Returning citizens and strangers are
invading the city ID legions and the over-croYded
watering places are fast being depopulated Of their
impatient sojOurners Those along the Gulf coast are
being depleted rapidly the means of exit enable,
| the daily steamers being crowded to excess, and
never did vessels bear farer freight than these same
Lake boats about twothrds of the passengers are
ladies returning to their homes from the scenes Of
their summer Punishment, In evidence of the heavy
| proportion which they bear to the whole number of
passengers, we may cite the fact that even the
modious after cabin of the steamer Cuba, which ar
rived yesterday morning, was insufficient for their
accommodation, and they accordingly usurped the
masculine sleeping premises, to the election Of the
! hardier sex therefrom, and shake downs y floored
the decks wherever there was room to shake them
down. We never saw ladies' in more magnificent
condition than those which eAe Cuba emptied on the
Pontchartrain wharf in the cold gray of the morning
! We were half persuaded that bark from the airy
kingdom of the hours had disembarked her freight
of celestial beauty The bracng winds of autumn,
which for weeks have been blowing salt and fresh
from the Gulf upon their seashore retreats had
planted roses in their cheeks and given nervous ygor
to their frames. They looked as if they had monopo.
lized all the health that was going last summer, and
were bringing it back where it was then lacking.
Just such infusions of brisk life is what the city
needs, and is profting by to its reinyigoration.

THE AMPH1THEATsR-Cin CindereRa-In addition to
the usual acceptable variety of Ethiopian good things
got of by the Buckleys, last night was their first re-
presentation of their burlesque on " Cinderella" In
scenery dresses etc. it put upon the stage elabo
ately, whilst il the music it was sweet and in the
action ridiculous aud cOmical in the extreme It was
a decided success the crowded audience present
listening breathlessly to the music at one time and
giving way to uproarious merrment at the action at
another time. We had only one fault to find and
that was the introduction of some figures of speech
little too broad to be tolerated by the more respect
able classes of the people who have fallen into the
habit of patronsing the Amphitheater. Such things
may be all right in New York, but they will hardly
do here We hope the Buckleys will take whole
some hint from what we say.
Cinderella at Noon 7O-Ddy.-Ihe usual Saturday
noon entertainment is to be given, beginning at II
O'Clock to-day. This being for the especial grati-
cation and entertainment of ladies and Children we
shall expect to see the Amphitheater crowded as it
has always been, at the Saturday noon performances
Cinderella at Night-At night a brilliant variety
performance will be given, winding up with I" Gin.
derella,' We need not advise an early application
for seats The house will naturally be crowded
anyhow.
