RICHELIEU LAST NIsHr.-we fancy that we
could select many a better play for the exercise
of Mr.. Sullivan's peculiar talents; bat Richelieu
being selected, we can hardly imagine how the
character gould have been better represented

tude Of nervous old age was perfect in all re-
spects, that II was impossible to recognize sim
gle feature OF Barry Sullivan himself, or realize
that anybody but the genuine old cardinal was
before us Even the strained and shattered voice
In moments of excitement, was almost unpleas-
aatly natural. The minor parts, too, were well
performed: Mauprat by Fisher, Barains hen by
Dawson, Baradas by Mills, and Louis XIII by
Grosvenor-and last, but not least, Julie de Nor
temar by Miss Alice Grey, who performed that
Deautll1l character with true wOmanly concep-
ton and natural pathos rarely equalled
The bill for to- nj hit is the "Gamester - Rev.

Grey and the 'Loan Of a Lover;'-Gertrude by
Miss Josephine Manners, and Peter Spyke by Daw-
