There are now no less than seven regular thea
aters in full sway, viz: The Academy of Music,
4 where Nine Colson, Strakosch, Signori Shgelli
and Ferri have been giving "Rigoletto" during the
past week. Madame Colson is highly appreciated
! and praised. We are promised rare things in the
way Of operate notables soon, and much pleasure
is evinced at the announcement that "Gazzaniga'
will shortly re-appear.
Next in rotation comes the ''Winter Garden" or
"a Conservatory of Art,'' devoted and dedicated,
as the posters say to the latter by that divinity in
i petticoats, Miss Agnes Robertson. At this truly
beautiful temple may be found the comical phiz of
the American Cousin, Jefferson the eccentric I. B.
Johnston, the versatile A. H. Davenport the rough
Yorkshireman Harry Pearson, your old fayorite

traction proved too much for the fair Agnes and
the great Dionysius, consequently, with that quiet

of the establishment to be too hot to hold her--in
, other words the winter Gardena became "Hot
House, and the fair and rollicking 'Tilly Slow
} boy'' took her departure, much to the regret OF
the public the company, and vastly to the detri-
ment of the theater. Rumor says she will shortly
appear at Laura Keenes, but it is positive that she
will visit New Orleans and play with Owens at the
: Varieties during the ensuing season. In conse-
ouence of her secession, "Dot'' was withdrawn and

It is indeed great pity that SO lovely theater
and with such brilliant prospects of success should
/. be SO mercilessy and unnecessarily ruined and

n display and met with tolerable success. 1t ha'

MFR. George Jordan is still at this establishment
, and will appear on Wednesday evening in the OLE
play entitled "a Wife's Secret" which has neve
! been acted in New York since its original pro
duction here by Charles Kean at the old Parl
| Theater. Fair sister Laura has her troubles AM

of the law. Lord Dundreary Sothern has com

a alleged breach Of contract. Also Miss Ada Clifto
