MR.. JoHN L. .OwENs-Buckstone's rich comedy
Of "Married Life''-a "situation" that oft par
takes Of the serious as well hs the comic-was
enacted last night at the National In manner
rarely equallcd by any dramatic company
Doubtless the announcement on the bills that
Allen, Sheridan, yandenhof, and Bland would
take the characters OF Coddle, Lynx, Young hus-
band, and Dismal, with such excellent represen-
tatives Of their respective spouses, as Miss
waite, Miss Piunkett, Mrs. Barrett, and Mrs.
Allen, Induced many to forego the certainty Of

to this, they could anticipate the distinctive
prominence in the groupe Of Henry Dove, and
the female Lindley Murray who was his matc
(Mr. Owen, and Mrs. Grattan) II Is no wonder
that the audience In excoss Of delight and enjoy
ment, were at times "mutilated to the spot"
Tho management, on this occasion, did all It
were possible to do, to "remove every obstacle"
to the .-oper rendering OF the piece. 1t must be

wALL's OPERA HoUsE.-At this neatly htted
temple an appreciative audience was present to
hear the grand opera OF "Norms," and from the
repeated Manifestations It was evident that the
highest satisfaction was given. Madame La
grange added last night to the many triumphs
abe has achieved In this role. She Is undoubtedly
the Queen ofTragic Song and her voice, which
Is one OF remarkable compass and power, Is well
cultivated In all the finest touches Of musical art
She is on the lyric, what Ristori is on the tragic
stage, and In her most intense action there Ia
all the blending OF the graces. An opportunity
does not often present itself to the public to see
and hear an article Of such rare merit and &C
quirements; and the devotees Of the sublime and
grand In music should not fall to avail themselves
Of the treat now offered to them. Tonight "La
