| NATIONAL THEATER. - Notwithstanding the
inclemency of the weather Saturday evening
the National was well attended-the attraction
being the last appearance of Mrs. Sinclair and
Mr.. Sedley in the new and beautiful play Of
Extremes Meet. The piece was admirably per-
formed, each character being enacted with
spirit and iudiciousness. Mr.. Sedley, as
Crank Hawthorne" proved himself pos
sessed of more than ordinary ability; while
Mrs. Sinclair, as "Lucy Vavasour," did
not deteriorate the high reputation as an
actress she has hitherto borne. Messrs.
Mortimer, Rainford and NJ. W. Leffngwell
were du fat. We were surprised to see this
latter gentleman enact the minutia of young
'cwildbriar" so perfectly, as we thought it
entirely out of his role; but, place him where
you will, he is sure to make favorable i'm
preston. Mrs. wilkins and Mrs. Jones played
we'll, as did all the company. On Monday
evening the Dramatic Equestrian Troupe of
Mile Louise Wells makes its first appearance
in this city on the boards of the National.
Judging from the reputation they have herslded,
the performances of this troupe will prove in
teresting.
Woop's THEATER.-The far famed Buckleys'
Ethiopian and Burlesque Opera Troupe closed
their engagement at this establishment last
Saturday evening. During their engagement
they drew large audiences, and contributed
greatly to the amusement of all who witnessed
their performances.
The regular dramatic company appear this
evening, in Sheridan's comedy of The Rivals.
Mr.. Ellsler as "Sir Anthony Absolute" and
Mrs. Ellser as "Lydia IIanguish." Toconclude
with the laughable farce of A CoajugaI Les
son, in which Mr.. Sydney Smith will appear.
The oPERA.-The first presentation of Mey-
erbeer's famous opera Roberto IL DiaDolo, on
Saturday evening, notwithstanding the unfa-
vorable weather, was attended by at least three
thousand Of the beauty and fashion of the CITY,
The sublimity of this master-work of romance
was complete, as was evidenced by the frequent
and continued outbursts of applause during
the entertainment. The contrast between the
classical" "Don Giovanni" and emotional"
"Roberto" is striking, and these two immense
creations of brilliant compositions will always
be attractive to the musical world; hence their
frequent repetition in all cities to crowded
houses.
The cast of Roberto on..Saturday evening was
very strong. The "Alice," "Roberto's" sister,
by Mad. Colson, was the prettiest exhibition of
sentimental acting and vocal proficiency that
we have ever heard. Nine Wilhorst as the
Princess "Isabella" was enthusiastically en-
cored, for she was perfect throughout. Brign-
oil "Roberto," his first time in that character,
was great triumph for this polished artistic.
In the trio with "Alice," "Bertram" and
"Roberto," he was particularly happy, receiv-
ing at its close the most enthusiastic and genu-
inc applause that has been given since the
Opera House has been opened. The instru-
mentation, under the lead of Strakosch, was
inimitable and powerful.
This evening, Mr.. Strakosch will have a
benefit, and we trust thatit may be, pecuniarily
the fullest house Of the season. Diapolo will
| he presented for the second time. To those
who have not yet witnessed Roberto, W,
earnestly urge that they attend tonight.
