ST. CHARLES. 1t is to be extremely regretted
that the weather has been such upon the two
opening nights Of Alr. Bryant's engagement, as 10
deter very many, no would otherwise have wit
nessed Lis performances, from attending them.
His impeTsonstiOns Of Tim O'BIieIl in "TemptG.
tioD," and Of Handy Andy, are marked by genu-
Inc merit, combining wit, pathos and power. In
the former piece, where, while depl. ring his pow
erty and consequent inability 10 procure even
decent habilimeIts TO protect himself from the
gibes of street urchns, he suddenly espies the
pocket book, plethOTic with notes, just dropped
by BOJGliHk, there is sn honest unafa cted reality
in his resistance to the temptation TO appropriate
that Bhich he knows is not his own. We like Mr..
Bryants acting for itself, and find him both fresh
and novel in an Irish character. Miss Sylvester
deserves mention too for the support she rendered
as Polly in Temptation Tonight, the drama
"Shamus O'Bien,n written by Messrs. Nader
and McDOnoUPh, and famous by a run of over
five bundled nights ia New Yok, will be presen
ted, with hr. Bryant il the leading character, the
BOud Boy Of GieBgGH.
NARETIEs.-lt seems that people will 60 to see
Mr.. Jefferson, and particularly in Rip Van
NiDkle," TO matter how discOursging the
weather. Last evening there present an
audience better than some we have seen in the
Varieties upon fair evenings. Tonight, Dr..
PdHg'OSS. in the " Heir az Law" and the afsble
Mr.. GJHghty, in Lend Me Five Shiings," are
the parts to be assumed by Mr.. Jefferson. We
are pleased tc be able TO announce, too, that
Norman Noggs will be repeated tomorrow
evening.
ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-Delehanty's bone solo
and EmersOns song and dance seemed to afford
particular satisfaction to a not too humorous
audience last evening. The Imaginable farce of
the hish Lion" with Stewart as TIM Moore,
formed the more substantial portion of the en-
ertainment. The bill will be repeated this
evening.
NATIONAL HALL.-A masked ball il announced
for Saturday evening at National Hall, corner OF
Carroll end PefdidO streets, below the theater.
