THEATRE COMIQUE.--Ths establishment opened
last evening for the regular fall dramatic
der very fatterlng auspices good programme
was offered to the lovers OF fun, 'stars of
rious magnitude were introduced, and the house
crowded to sufrocation. Everything upon the bills
was rapturOusly received and encored and artists
and audience appeared to be In harmonious accord
with each other and both were in the best possible
humOr. Concerning the theatre itself we have al
ready spoken, and need only add that hereafter
every description OF negro minstrelsy will be en-
tirely ignored at this establishment, and the per-
formances conducted on the principle OF vaude-
vile and variety theatre Last evening the curtain
was rung up, under this regime, for
the first time, and the management have every rea
son to feel gratiled at the manner in which their
patrons received the judclous change. Mr.. william
Horace Lingard, who is at once both stage manager
and principal attraction appeared in his 'Comic
Sketches" and his original "Statue Song" and was
well received in both. Mr.. Joseph Emmett lately OF
Bryants. set the house IN roar with his inimitabe
deiineation OF the "Iappy Dutchman." and was
twice encored. Miss Alice Dunning, OF the London
theatres made her first appearance In this country
at this establishment last evening the widow
White in the afterpiece OF "Mr and Mrs. White "
and created quite sensation. She sings well, dances
like nymph and Is witha very fascinating little

splendid success and augurs well for the future.
