/ VARrETIEs.-Mr. Lawler played Bob Brierly In
Tom Tayloris 4" Ticket Of Leave Man" on the oc.
casion of his benefit last evening. very hand
somely, and greatly TO the enjoyment of an audi
ence which, for this SESSION. may have been con-
sdered numerous one. His acting and reading
in some parts Of the play were passionate and
pathetic, and described to the life the gnawing
grief and despair Of one socially ostracized and
prosecuted, Mrs. Leighton appeared as Emily
st. ECremOnd, and we were heartily glad to wei
come her back 10 the stage where she has been so
often applauded. kJhe May Ed,odrds of Mrs.

ST. CHARLEs.-It was with unmistakable enthu-
siasm that the audience at the St. Charles wei
coined to the stage last evening that favorte
actress, Mrs. Howard Watkins, who after an alb
serce OF two years appeared 10 that beautiful
character, Kathleen MdrOurneen, supported by
Mr.. atkins as Terence O'MOOre. Absence, we
fnd, has only given fresh piquancy TO her act
ing. The same grace of manner, the same sweet
ness of voice, the same excellent taste in dress,
mark her now as before, and we shall be surprised
If this announcement Of her presence does not
bring together a large audience this evening.
The play itself is touchingy beautiful one, and
to hear Mrs. Watkins sing the ballad kathleen
Mayourneen" were in itself attraction enough,
while the scene Of the black crag is an intensely
thrilling one.
ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-The great event of last
evening was the production of series of magic
illuminated tableaux, twenty-three in number, and
embracing great variety of subjects. By some
unexplained process, these successfully dissolve,
the one into the other-tbe snow and ice Of win
ter scene. for instance, dreamiy melting away
into the soft, bazy gories of autumn sunset, or
the horrors Of Dante's Inferno " into the heads
and bumped backs of a row Of camels in an
Egyptian caravan. The Virginia Mummy bur
lesque, with Dick Parker as Ginger Blue was an
other feature of the evening" and elected roars of
laughter. 1t will be repeated this evening, to-
gether with the tableaux and the usual variety
programme.
