NEW MEMPHIS IHEATER.- advent
of Mr.. Edwin Booth had long been
wished, and the desire to see him for
months found general expression. Last
night he made his first bow before a
Memphis audience for years, and on
appearing at the footlights was greeted
with hearty welcome, the applause
being most enthusiastic. and nrntrantad
far beyond the usual period. The piece
chosen for the debut was Romeo and
Juliet, Mr.. Booth appearing as Ro-
meo." 1t was an unwise selection for an
audience so critical, and content with
nothing short of superior acting from
one with whose fame the dramatic world
has been busy for the past ten years.
To say that Mr., Booths Romeo" was
mediocre would be injustice; to say that
it was fine rendition, worthy of the
man, would fall equally wide of the mark.
1t was fair-nothing more-in only two
or three instances evidencing the posses
sion of the rare powers which have
placed Mr.. Booths Richard, Rich
elieu," Hamlet" and "Sbylock "
among the finest of dramatic persona
tons. In the main it was void of spirit,
and unfavorably impressed those who
have never witnessed him in the line
of characters in which he is truly
great. His "Shylock" tonight will tell
another story. MISS McVicker possesses
figure seemingly too petite for the per-
sonation of Shakspeare's characters
but has fine eye and elegant wardrobe.
She read the text of Juliet correctly,
and enunciated clearly and distinctly,
her words and syllables being properly
rounded In point of facial expression
"a merit so indispensable to success
she failed utterly, her countenance I'M
dergoipg scarcely the slightest change
from the commencement to the termina-
ton Of the play. Her reading was that Of
an artistic; her acting that Of an amateur
yet pleasing withal, and olciting APP
plause. Mr.. Frances Mercutio was
the gem Of the evening; Mr.. Anderson
"Friar Laurence " good, and the Other
characters passable This evening Mr.
Booth will appear as "Shylock" in the
Merchant of Venice, character which
he has made his own, and in which he
stands unrivaled on the stage in this
country. Those who attend to- night
will learn why Mr.. Booth ranks among
the first actors of the age.

Under this heading. the City Engineer
says
The annual expenditures under the
supervision Of the Engineers depart
ment during the last eight years prior to
1867, have averaged about $3.50, 600.
The expenditures for 1867, including
BILLS approved at this office, amount to
$61l ,481 81, and the projected work for
the coming year, in contract for paving,
etc., now in progress, will amount to not

The former limits of the city com
prised an area of l460 acres, with 81 63-
100 lineal miles of streets and alleys.
The Ninth ward comprises an area oil
929 acres, with "a $4,000 lineal miles OF
streets and alleys. The Tenth ward
