The Cincinnati Enquirer Of the 9Th inst,
furnishes rs with the following graphic
description Of the wonderful performances
Of the Hsnlon Brothers;
A countless throng al Pixies 0pera-houss
last night wed with each other in doing
homage to. the .indes ribable grace, ele-
gaBce, daring aud power OF the Ha1lOn
Brothers. Dress circle, perquetts and bal
eony were one mass Of human beings, 80
closely packed that the identity Of indiYid-
uals were lost, and the entire audience ap-
parently compresBed into one, snd The ap-
plause from several thousand thro4ts min
gled into one prolonged shout. Ofthe Han
lons no pen can give an adequste descrip-
ton. They appeared in three differentiated,
ell diverse, md each unapproachabIe.
Rropaleficisius, By Alfred HanlOB, (Ehicb

ton Of incredible ieats, opposed TO al oar
previous notions Of the capacity Of man,
and certainly indehanee Of the laws Of grav-
itauon. Notwithstanding the considerable
note OF tn maEagers, assuring the audience
that there was no danger, the audience were
appalled, at the appeaTaBce Of peril They
did not dare 70 applaud, ans held their
breath IN terror until the daring young
man descended from the immense height 70
the stage, when the shouts were deafebinR.
The exercises upon the horizontal bar, BY
William. Thomas and Frederick Hanlaa,
abounded in grace and dexterity, and were
surprisingly elegant aud PLEASING, and
doubtless were the more enthu ,iasticaIly
from the absence Of the danger Of

The regular session has fairly begun.

Kate Vance, 81 the Varieties, St. Louis, /

expressly FOR her, entitled "0liapE; or the

Avonia Jones, the Webb Sisters, Maggie

There Isl baby sctcess in London, and

ness. A more wonderful instance Of pre-
,ocious intelligence cannot be imagined.
The celebrated Adah Isaacs Menken Hee-
lan, &c, is again visible. The London
Times Of July 20th, says;
In the whole range Of the English drama
here Is probably not 9 single piece that so
thoroughly answers the purpose Of moving

Douglas Jsrrold's Black Eyed Susan.
RESTORED 10 the London stage by Miss
4enken, who played the part Of William az
on the Occaaion Of her benefit, the
aYorite drama seemed as fresh as ever,

IS mach gymn ssic as histriOnlc, but the
econd half VI Black Eyed Susan, as per
ormed a. Astley's, proves that Miss Men

portion Of the piece she can scarce

low the nautical joyiRhty, which was given
such rich soioring by tRe late Mr. T..

lady. When William is in trouble Inc hls
haracter Is rendered more poetical By sOr-
ow the case Is different, and Miss Menken
the most Of her opportunity. Pic
uresque from the first as the smartest maui
,ai attire can make hsr, she is careful 10
sll the resources OF a praotieed ges-
EQUATION, aud she scenes Of the trial, the
lreweil, and the approaching execution are
charitable as O series Of graceful poses.
he appeal, however, is not merely 10 the
ye. Inc language has been careful
and the speech al the court martial

che sympathy Of all. Altogether
Hiss Menkon's Wilhelm Is a genuine sue
ess, and q long run at Astley's might be
,redicted for Black Eyed Susan were not
