Theatrical.


ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-The programme informs
us that the Academy Is the only thester in the
South heated by Raymond's hot water chambers.
We have hitherto been at loss to account for the
invariable warmth of the applause at that estab-
lshment, but now we understand 1t all. Here
after, when there is an excitement to be raised, Q
caloric to be generated, We shall depend only upon
Raymond's hot water chambers. There will be
two performances TO day, signslized by change
of programme throughout. Carter and School,
craft will give their famous burlesque, " The Old
Clothes Dealer" "Vel you takes i'm for two sn'
af, my dear. Tho helper me grathious, pay
twenty nine dollars for tat coat two dayth ago.n
The Miacos, Leah, Kate Wood, Ada st. Clair,
Delahanty and Hengler, Ryman and Bloodgood,
all will appear in their specialities, and the enter
tainments will conclude with the "Colored
Academy or the Freedmans Bureau
VARIETIES. - The "Peep o. Day" will be
played twice to-day, at the noon matinee perform
ance, and again in the evening, after which 1t Is to
be Withdrawn, giving place to the reproduction
on Monday evening of that beautiful drama,
rip Van Winkle," under the auspices Of Mr..
Jefferson who has made his name synonymous
with its leading character. The coming week
promises to prove brilliant one at the Varieties.
Mr.. Jefferson's appearances upsn that stage have
always been successful in assembling large and
fashionable audiences.
ST. CHARLEs.-To.night the "Black Crook''
completes run OF four weeks, and for the last
time offers its varied attractions and beauties to
spectators. The audiences Of late have been
much larger than one would have anticipated,
considering the great numbers that Witnessed It
earlier in its presentation. The farewell evening
will undoubtedly bring together greater assem-
blage than usual. Tomorrow evening Miss Louisa
Sylvester Is announced for the benefit she so well
deserves, and on Monday evening Mr. Forrest
commences an engagement of ten nights, appear
ing as Richelieu.
The OPBRA.-"Faust" will be repeated tonight,
owing to the great which this production OF
GOuDod has attained, as rendered by Mr.. Alhaiza's
excellent company. Damiani, Lambele Faus-
cLetti, Van HUfflen and Lechevalier appear In the
different roles. Faust is placed upon the stage at
the Opera House in q grand and magnificent
style. The military march, the old mems chorus,
Mr.. Devee's scenery, not to speak of the other
gems of this opera, are in themselves deserving
of the highest praise.
RoBINsoN's CoMBIsATI0N.-This favorite exhf-
bition is back again at Tivol Circle, and gives
two daily performances. Its cavalcsde Of grace
full riders, richly caparisoned horses, and various
wild animals passed our Office yesterday and

interesting things offered by the management OF
the establishment, IN their huge pavilion, now
located as we have stated above.
