Theatrical.

tARIETIEs.-A very pies asing Irish drama il tbx
peep o. Day." produced last evening At the
Varieties, and put upon the stage with scenery
end costumes which leave no room for fault.anj.
ing. The plot of the piece embraces mainly tb,
Incidents arising out of the present disordsred
condition Of affairs In Ireland. There are rebels.
andEBrtishers, shillelahs and dances, fair Irish
maidens, and visinous hsgs, jolly priests and
schemiDg informers, all mingling together in a
very picturesque manner. The gem of the
performance is the scene OF the fair.
The broihs Of boys, and the lasses are seen
dancing IN high gee, when OF sudden the
rival faction. is announced as approaching.
Preparations for battle fare rapidly made.
The foes enter; hats fly high in air, the chsl-
lenge is mutually given and taken, and then skulls
crash. brickbats fly. and the fight wakes hot;
when 10! upon the bridge, overlooking the fair
ground, stands the priest, with outstretched hand,
silently looking down upon the combatants. In
an instant peace usurps the place of war; and
those moment before so busy in breaking each
others heads are to be seen kneeling before the
object of their common reverence. +Af
We thought that Miss Rose Wood and Mr..
Gomersal were first rate in their Jig dance aud
that Mrs. GemeYsal, in her interview with Captain
H0lcGrd, (PaTkes) did admirably.
The piece will be repeated every night until
further notice. 1t had run of four hundred
nights in London.
The OPERA.-There was q brilliant audience al
the Opera House TO witness the third perform
ance Of Meyerbeer's great work of Robert le
Disble.n The brave and courageous Mile Fau-
indisposed, in the role of alice and being in good
voice, she accomplished her task with a success
that brought down the house several times. Mr..
Picot. the tenor sang better than usual and he as
well as Mr.. Van Haflen, were recalled in the third
act. Nine Provost Seguipland Mr.. Deere did well.
Tonight "Lucia di Lammermoor." by Donizetti.
On Wednesday Faust will be repeated.
Every seat was occupied at the Opera last
night, and the performance of "Faust" went off
in splendid style. The performance on Wednes-
day is an extraordinary one, In honor OF the 8th
OF January. Good seats may therefore be pro-
cured as 1t is not subscription night.
ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-The amusing burlesque,
the Trip to Paris" brought down the house,
which was not over good, at the Academy last
evening. Since the departure of the fairy ballet
troupe, whose return we expect and im?atiently
wish for, the Academy has been the scene Of
some very novel and entertaining variety enter
tsinments. Leah remains, and, with Kate Wood,
delights the votaries of Terpsichore the Miaco
brothers perform daring acrobatic feats; Stew
art personates the Hibernian as well he did
Carl, who loved Be7fdldy, and Ryman, Delahanty
and Hagler are very successful as deneators Of
the newly enfranchised. Such attractions as
these the management Of the Academy offer
nightly.
ST. CHARLEs.-The "Blaek Crook - was wit
messed last night by an audience which was more
numerous than might have been expected, in view
of the protracted run which the piece has had.
We never tire of witnessing the beautiful scene in
which the Amszons march hither and thither, in
battle array, by files, platoons and columns of
companies. The piece will be withdrawn after
Saturday nights performance. The opportunity
of seeing it once more should not be neglected.
CRESCENT CITY hUsKUM-The Scottish queen,
the armless wonder, the trained lions with their
mistress the Senorita Eugenie, and a thousand
other cuTiosities are to be seen here daily, be-
tween the hours of A. NJ and 10 P. NJ. The
Museum is directly opposite the st. Charles
Hotel. -
JOHN RoBINsoN's CIRcUs.-The brilliant success
attending the uptown exhibitions of this man.
moth entertainment, are being repeated at its
present location on the corner of Bourbon and
Dreams streets. No better circus, or more COM
plete geological collection has ever been offered
the public in this city, and as engagements in
other cities will necessitste their departure at
early day, we would advise all to be sure aad
haye at least one look at this famous combination
establishment. Ht
