fer of excellence the beautiful comedy
of "The Hunchback;" q grand Pas de

Coombs appears as julie, one of her best
characters. She was greeted last night
by a very large audience who were de-
lighted with her charming impersonation
of Pauline.
There are now but few drawbacks
upon the eDjoyments of the patrons of

sounds through the house to the dlstur-
bsnee of the auditors who go to hear,
are also matters of complaint. In all
but the last mentioned, there is vast
preponderance in favor of the New
Theatre, where all is freshness, elegance,
and brilliance. Our friends, the mana
