the entertainment a the Winter Garden has long
been void Of favor. Grim-viagcd tragedy has kept
it's wrnked front in state OF knotty and perturbed
blackness for 30 many months that the return Of
grin-visagsd farce is looked for with the anxiety Of
hope perpetually deferred. The longneglected
springs OF mirth have often, Of late, been moved
even to unreasonable demonstration; and such has
been the impulse toward merrimsnt in some form,
that during the darkest periods Of tragic gloom the
feelings of audiences have at times got the better OF
them and excited them to outbursts Of extravagant
glee, when DO provocation for any such display was
Intentionally afforded. Mr. Clarkes return TO New
York il not day too soon. No matter What the
merits or abilities Of his heightened line ofpredeces

their missions has roused resstless cravings Tor

may Judge from the character and the success OF MS
previous engagements. His opening piece, ibis

him, and antitled (" Luck; or the Gentleman OF Ma
ture, one in which his qualities Of warm and hearty
humor are said TO be ehsrmingly developed. WIN
his acting in "The Toodes," which is also to DO
represented this evening, the public is perfectly H.
miliar The very paybills in the streets have been
struck sympathetic, and bear the burden OF the an
nouncement with rolicking and inebrate eloquence.
The title of the piece vsby reels and staggers be-
fore the eye.
