THoEE TABLEsUX-Ehs splendid and sue
cessful exhibition Of Tableaux at the thester
on Tuesday evening was the topic OF CONVEX
sation yesterday in al companies, and 4 strong
desire exists Tor a repetition Of the exhibition.
Owing to The crowded state of the house so
many were unable to gain admittance, and the
encomiums OF those who were present has ex-
cited so lively a desire in others 10 witness the
exhibition, that we think a repetition Of the
ta5ieaur ~ri7aais, with perhaps the introduc.
ton Of q new piece or two, would again al
the house. As o Of the more complicated
scenes require a little time for preparation,
we beg TO suggest that the singing of a duet,
OF q~uartette during the intervals would BE- a
very agreeable variety.
