LoTTI's GRAND GERMAN OPERA.-It was a
pleasing sight to see the National Theater again
filled last evening upon the occasion of the first
representation in this city of Flotow's sweet eu-
siOn " Strsdela," in which Mr.. Himmer, the
tenor, once more displayed his excellent qualities
as a singer and actor. The LeOnOre of Mile Clara
Lang was all that could be expected. Her pure
and sympathetic voice several times brought
down the house and few bouquets. Messrs
Anton Graf as MdlUotjO, Steinecke as Bdrbdrino
and Weinlich as BGsSi, gave new evidences that
they are conscientious and good singers. There
will be no operate performance at this theater
tonight. On Sunday, Der Frieschutz," proba.
bly, the immortal Carl Won Webers masterpiece,
will be sung by the best talent of Mr. Lotti's com.
paDy. New sceneries will add TO the attraction
of the occasion.
ST. CHARLEs.-Dsn Bryant the excellent Irish
comedian, whose truthful and comical persona.
tions place him so high among those who now oc-
cupy the American stage, had but small atten-
dance at his benefit last night. Personally and
professionally, he was entitled to the compliment
OF full house. The eccentricities of "0'Rsf-
ferty," however, both in bis original Celtic
character and in his garb of an Italian
count, could not have been better delineated. and
qualification Of his audience, who encored them
all without exception. Miss Hattie Vall6e's
"Cachuca" was also repeated at the request of
the house. Tonight Dan Bryant will appear in
'Shamus O'Brien, and we hope the public will not
Sb0nleus on the occasion by showing so little in.

tors of Irish character on the stage and such an
actor, who can crowd Wallack's capacious thea.

should be better encouraged in New Orleans,
where the stage is usually so well appreciated,
and where the people always "see the players
well bestowed" As "Dan" cannot 20 and see
all the people separately, all the people together
should go and see "Dan."
VARHTEs.-Jefferson had his last benefit for
this engagement, at the Varieties last evening and
if a " house " is any indication of popularity, he
ought 10 leave New Orleans with feelings of pride
and satisfaction. There was hardly a vacant
chair, and the audience was merry and enthusias-
tic as any drtiste could wish. The actors and ac-.
and never acted with more spirit. In the first piece
entitled "WoodcOck's Little Came" Jefferson
kept the audience in q of laughter as also in
his great burlesque part Of "Mazeppa." He was
equally happy in the character Of Dict0ry, in
" The Spectre Bridegroom" of which we have
spoken before. Mr.. Jeferson's engagement has
been highly successful one, as usual, wherever
he appears, and we shall part with him with re.

ACADEMY OF MUsIc-There was a large and
apparently appreciatVe attendance, delighted
with the many and various attractions offered at
this place OF amusement last evening. The per.
formances, however diversified. went of as usual
without any flaw, and the performers, animated
with q commendsble spirit OF rivalry tried TO sur
pass each other in their different spheres of act
ing, singing and dancing. Billy Emerson and
Harry BloOdgoOd are excellent delineatOrs of the
negro character, and their songs, like the Cline
tops terpschoTesn performances, Miss Ad1e St.
Clsirs songs and the AiacO Brothers UOldntes en-
d1'i0, were all warmly spplsuded by the house.
Speaking Of BloodgoOd. it is but Justice 20 say
that be is growing more popular, and will make

he was encOred three times last evenings fair
that the public know his merits. The
finale "Arrah-ns.POgue" is very amusing and
buTesque we'll worth seeing. No
changes OF any Importance in the bill for tonight.
