gomsr, tho Barbarian" was produced
in excellsn, style last evening, and to a
fair audience. Miss Thompson's Par
thenia was considerably above the aver
age representations o! that character;
tasteful, natural, aud not overdoue.
The same may be said Of Mccullough
as the barbarian chief. Edwards per-
sonated tho Timareh mos: sTcellently,
and the mean, spieeny old mise. found
10 Raymond a most complete represent
alive. He just can be a little more
comic or more hateful when he choose
than any QUE We have yet seen on the
theatrical stage. He made himself per-
fsctly obnoxious last night in the nat
nralness Of his vile representation.
Holmes as Nyron, the old armorer, also
succeeded very well. Harry Edwards
takes his grand complimentary benefit
tonight, on which occasion B~oGcicault's
great drama of Hunted Down" will
be given. We are pleased to see by tho
very large number Of reserved seats al
ready secured, that he is sure OF q
crowded house. The play is one Of the
mos, attractive, and has never before
been enacted here. No children in arms
will be admitted, or smoking allowed in
any part Of the house.

last night, by the pupils of our public

nouuced on tho programme was per-
formed, aud afforded the hishes, graf
ifcation to the audience. Professor Geo
presided a: the piano forte, and afforded
considerable assistance in the rendition
of the different songs, etc., by his truly
artistic style. Worthy Of special men
tiou, we cannot help referring 10 the
beautiful song and pantomime, The
Mistletoe Beugh," one of the sweetest
little things we have ever scoa or the
