under dificultics.'
Tho performances began n, u o'clock. and were
IN every respect mp 10 expectation. Tho opening
piccc was a chorus from Martha. In which some Of our
fines, singers sang. Next followed a tablcau. rep
rcscntins the Empress Cathariuc saving the life Of
Peter the Grcat. There were bat three or four char
actcrs in the piece. which were well Pcrson'tcd. Then
followed Master Mclean. "a lad Of scrcH years. whose
playinr ON the violin was remarkable. This little
fellow j. a perfect marvel. being entirely self taught.
and n Skilful ~ a master musician. II he contin-

a tlbleau representing the marriage of Pccahontas.
Mrs. 4. &. Jones appeared rs the Indian bride, Rob
crt Andrews rs Rolfc, Capt. Dimond rs the Governor,
and {. Il. Bishop as the clergyman, while numerous
others. in Indian or antique costume. filed the back
ground. The Misses Brickwood, "a Indian maidens,
were specially noticeable and the very images of re-
ali,y. With " Extravaganza u rather common
theatrical burlesque. which might better have been
omitted, the first part clo>ei.
The second opened with a trio from Ernani, in
which Miss Mary Cooke, Messrs. Fenard and Kemm
sang. while Madame varigny presided at the piano.
This was followed 10y the ehg d'Gurre Of the evening,
n tableau representing Shakespeare ut the Court of
Elizabeth. The characters were all in the costume of
the Elizabethan period. well conceived and magnii-
e.n,Iv carried out. Mrs. McGrew, as Queen Eliza
beth. NIrs. c. II. Judd and Mrs. ". F. Allen, as
laiirs Of the Court, ". +. Allen as Shakespeare, j.
IA. Patty as Earl Leicester. and others whom we can
not now recall, were richly attired, and acted their
parts TO perfection. The two leading eharacters-
Queen Elizabeth and Shakespeare-were represented
=, the life. and il would be difficult to find any
thing more appropriate than the persons and dress
selected on this occasion. The audience appeared to
be disappointed with the short view OF this really
beautiful and instructive scene. y photograph of
Ills tableau would be u gem.
Mex; came a Chinese play in which four ~celestials
appeared. The Chinese language and singing OF
Allen Judd were perfect limitations Of the original.
In this scene, Henry Warehouse appeared as a Man.
DARN lady, in q very costly imported Chinese dress,
valued ut several hundred dollars. The tableau of
Phil. Sheridan was not in good taste, and had better
he dropped. Barnum's Museum provoked a vast
deal Of fun and laughter. The old showmanb brought
cut his fat girl, giant wopan, camelopard, bear,
elephant, &c, all Of course got up for the occasion.
The gorilla Or. G. Jones,) was the most capital
representation of this wild creature that could be
conceived Of. The performances closed with II con-
cert from the = Old folks who volunteered for the
occasion and sang Aud Lang Syne with touching
pathos, if not with the incest harmony. All the
characters we're in the most antique style imaginable.
II = curious 10 observe how Il little powder ON the
hair, an old bonnet, a calico handkerchief or n pain
Vi horn spectacles all transform II sweet maiden o.
twenty 10 All ancient dame Of sixty. None but init.
Ia .te friends could detect the deception.
Altogether, the evenings performances surpassed
any entertainment Of the kind ever got up here. and
shows hat We have native aTtists, musicians and
ringers. whom il will be difficult To surpass anywhere
The entertainment will he repeated Oh Tuesday exc
ming next, doors opening at quarter before seven
o'clDck, and the eIercises ut half past seven.
