THEATRE.-There was first rate at
tendance, last night, on the representa-
tion of Mr.. Aiken's new sensational
play, the witches of New York. Mr..
Aiken is not as good an actor as Edwin
Booth, but was rather clever in his part
of Royal and will please the majority of
our theatre. geers. The general outline
of the play seemed wonderfully familiar,
and until near the close of the third act
we couldn't recognize our friend. If it
is not the Streets of New York in new
cloth then the two pieces are twin
brothers. If Mr.. Aiken would consult
his interests he would re.write
one of the scenes of the second
act, especially before taking the drama
East, or the Bohemians will make him
Jump before they have done with him.
The play is too long for the plot, or the
plot is too thin for the play, we are not
sure which. 1t has good situations in
it though, and will draw, and, we sup
pose that is all that's wanted. Miss
Tiffany, whose genial acting and sweet
face, we so much admired last week, is
to remain with us another week. Her
Liddy Lanigan last night evoked roars
of laughter. She has an excellent d.
alect that seems more natural the more
we hear it. Tonight splendid bill is
offered, Mr.. Aiken and Miss Tiffany both
appearing.

We crossed to Cowes, and took a fy to
Farringford, distant twelve miles; a glo-
rious drive across the Isle Of Wight, be-
tween ivied hedges and passed gardens of
laurel and laurustinus. / found Earring
ford wonderfully improved. The little
park is gem of gardening art. The
magnificent Roman ilexes in front of the
house are finer than any saw in Italy.
We arrived about 3 o'clock, and were
ushered into the drawing-room. The
house has been refurnishel, and q great
many pictures aud Statues added since

son. cordial as an old friend, followed by
his wife, as sweet as ever, but feebler and
older looking. In Tcnnyson himself I
could see no particular change. We
walked through the park and garden; then
he and went upon the downs. and walked
for miles along the chalk cliffs above the
sea. He showed me his newly acquired
territory-among the rest great stretch
of wheat fields bought for him by Euoch
Arden. We dined at six. in a quaint
room hung with pictures. and then went
into the drawing room for desert.
