AMUsEmENTs.

vAkIErIEs rHEArzR.-we were very much sur.
prised last evening to find 30 many persons, and
those mostly OF the elite of society, at School :"
but are glad to announce that Robertson's new
comedy OF the above name is q brilliant success,
and well 1t deserves to be. for Mr.. Floyd has
spared no expense in putting IL on the stage in q
manner betting its reputation. We were espec-
tally pleased with the beautiful simplicity OF Miss
Grey as Bella, the poor dependent pupil of DR..
aud Mrs. Satellite, who were well played by Mr..
Pierce and Mrs. Preston; while Jack Poyntz and
Lord BeduJoy could not have been in ADLER hands
than Messrs. Floyd and Sheridan. The Naomi
1igte OF Miss Orion was charming performance,
yet it seemed to lack that especial vim one would
expect TO find in young and brilliant girl, born
snd brought up In English society Of the East
Indies but as this was only the second represen.
tation we have no doubt that in few nights she
will so improve the character as to make 1t the
leading one in the comedy. Any now We would
advise every body TO go and see "School' at
once for it is very evident that Mr.. Floyd don't
intend to let 1t have very long run, he having
already commenced preparations to introduce a
gentleman from Ireland who will be accompanied
by that aboriginal heiress Pocahontas. 1.-THE
Road to Ruin" 10 also in preparation.
ST. CHARLEs.-There was another full atten-
dance at the st. Charles last evening, including
many ladies occupying seats in the parquette.
Mrs. Scott Siddons repeated her admirable imper.
sonation Of Julia in the "Hunchbkck, )" receiving,
&c before an excellent support from Mr.. Pope az
No ster Waller, and Mr.. Stevens as Clifford. To-
reading, aston which we anticipate will call
together a brilliant assemblsge. The programme,
which will be found in full elsewhere. contains
some inviting selections, including repetition Of
Tennyson's MAY QaeeD," by special desire.
In the evening We are TO have Rosdlind again,
with the same admirable distribution OF characters
as before.
We regret to state that il will be an imuossi.
biity for Mrs. siddons to accede to the general
request that she repeat Pauline, in tie " Lady of
Lyons" For her farewell benefit on Friday night
that grand old comedy, the "School for Scandal"
has been and is in active rehearsal, and for the
occasion but few seats even now remain unsold,
ACADEMY OF Music Lefingwell, the Letting
well, the inimiable Lefingwell, delighted another
housefull of people last evening by his lsughable
character OF Romeo Jdbfer jenkins in {" Too
Much for Good Nature" the burlesque being pre-.
ceded by that always welcome farce the " Lin
erck Boy" with Csvansugh as Paddy Miles. To
night We are to be entertained by repetition not
only of the sentimental Romeo, but by another
visit from that dear gushing girl Clorinds TO see
whom in all her childish innocence and guileless.
