cause he Is unable to derive any revenue from

wishes, as will be seen from the following letter

Dramatic Notes.
Two new plays by Mr.. Fl. j. Byron, entitled
B'oo for B'ow and The Lancashire Lass, have
been performed with much success IN England.
"A new play by Mr.. Palgrave Simpson, en-
titled Time and the Hour, has been successfully
produced at the Boston Museum. Two of the
leading characters were performed by Mr.. viii
liam Warren and Mr.. W. II. Smith.
The legitimate drama will supersede the
sensational at Niblo's Garden, New York, on the
18th inst. Mr.. Edwin Forrest will then COM
mence an engagement of four weeks, and
Atter Dark will be brought out. Niblo's is now
under the management of Me,srs. jarrett &

-"Circe," the rather Indifferent novel which
was published as the work of Mr.. Babbington
White, but which was with some show of reason
attributed to Miss Braddon, who was accused of
having stolen it bodily II from a French
author has been dramatized by Mr.. A. o.
Halsey and Mr.. Frank W. Potter, of the Ne,oark
Courier and it will be brought out during the
present season at one of the New York theatres
The novel is not frstcass one, but we think
that good play might be constructed from It,
AT Astley's, in London, a four-act play
entitled The Conquest of Adgddld has been
produced in handsome style, with fine scenery,
real horses and donkeys, and whole army of
actors and supernumerarles.
--Leotard, the famous gymrast, eontempates
a visit to the United S ates and in alluding to
this intention one OF the Parisan journals makes
the following remarks:-
United STATES; but II he hopes TO make money there
he must perform very differently from what he has
in London. where although still run after, he was
thought far inferior to his ~ondrous eas oI former
number of superior gymnasts in the whole word.
and there ~ least, quiet languld syie or trapeze-
flying will have no chance whatever OF obainlng ap-
plause."
Mr.. G. L. Fox boasts that the receipts at the
Olympic Theatre, New York. for the past seven
months, during which the pantomine of Humpty
Dunlpty has been performed exceed by sums
ranging from $4,000 to $50, 900 the receipts of
any other theatre in New York.
