AhUsEMENTs.
ST. CHARLEs.-For tonight we are promised
another opportunity of witnessing Mr.. Couldock
In his impersoBation of Luke Fielding 10 the
"Wilow Copse," q character in which he is
thought by msny TO have equal upon the Amer
icsn stage. t. morrow evening that beautiful
story Of "DOrs" will be again rehearsed, AMI on
Friday evening Mr. and Miss Couldock are to have
their ieTeve,i benefit.
ACADEMY OF MUsrc.-"Undine" for the second
tine last evening with sill its gorgeous scenery
and costumes. and before aud ence which,
spite 4 the cold weather, was such will put
any managers, even less good natured than those
OF tte tcademy, IN good spirits for a week az
tme. We were pleased to observe, too, tina in
the An9go1ian parade that beautiful march, the
introduction OF which We suggested IN yesterdays
edition played by the orchestra. Again we
thsbk Mrs. Oates for contributing to the piece her
Roudrons vIvacity and esprit; aga n we mast
compliment Crbelli for her grace in the Cin-
Can" We would nOt tire Of seeing them every
evening for long time TO come.
VATIETIEs.-sgain last evening, Miss O:t)n as
fair simple hearted Dora, and Mr.. Rye IS tyran-
meal FdI7ner Allen. wrought out upon tn stage
the lives of two plain country people, with their
hopes and loves and griets. The peacetnuess OF
the seems % which the play introduces tie SPEC.
tator inspires a mpathetic feelgg of rest and If
tranquility Tsrly evoked. if ever. by any dramatic
representation. DOra" " will be repeated this
evening.
Cd. r. A-Halalet. Considering the cold.
of the weather quite talf audience Collected
last evening in the National fheaier 10 witness
the performance of " Hamlet" by the members
of the Orleans Drsmatic Relief Aspciati n. This
association has already done vasl deal OF gOOf,
and il was to increase their ability to help otlers
that last nights entertainment wasgiFeG. They
flew high when they selected such plsy as
Hamlet" but we think that the more credit IL
due them for their choice they displayed in 1t
| a willingness TO at emPt the accomplishment OF
high things. The principal role was su-talned oy
MIR q evidently
| born actor, and needs bat small practice to fit
| hin 10 permanently dln he sock AID bu-kin His
face nd figure are well adapted t0 the part he
| playeo; b,s iea0ipg was verv fne-fner in some
I pisces than tn Of some professional a aftorl we
have seen 10 lie par His eloeuion Is quite clear,
hut we ould suggest in sll XII do ss AZ 90 some
| OF The scenes-we,Tefer more pirtcnlarly TO thtt
4 between Hamlet aud his mother, Just alter the
| enao ment of the plsy-his voice, where rapid
| ant cula'ion was demanded, became some What
| thick, and his vi rds ran tOge her. This, how
| ever, short continued practice would remedy.
| Altogether the role was played exceedingly well,
| emo we would advise those of our readers wnO
| m have the chance again TO see NJ q = In
| this character. not to lose it. The GbOSt was
| plsNed by Mr.. u. @ -, and POsn'us by Mr. 7.
| La h. Jr., and played well by bo'h. Miss
| Ahce Plscide took the part of Ophelta. We
| have seen this lady impersODate another charac-
| ter IT, he same play, CHE Queen when We
| thought her acting much finer. Why could not
| this entertainment be repeated? Last night was
1
| tured ont, and the audience II there drew could
| by no mems be taken fair estimate Of the
| interest 30 has excited. We are convinced that
| second performance, with perhaps little change
in the cast. would prove even more OF success
| than did the trSi.
THR OPERA-The Opera was very well at
| tended last evening. 1he play was " Les Nous
| quetaires de 10 Reire" again hriniDg 0t) requi-
sition the services of the iu1efatRab'e Miles

| We have been requested 90 state to the manage
| ment that on cold days the eucltorinm Is not a.
| comfortable as II meht be rendered by means of
| some heating apparatus. and the justness OF the
rem ark makes 1t our duty TO comply with the re-
| quest.
