ST.. CHARLEs.--The opening Of Mrs. Siddons'
re-engagement was signahed by full house last
evening. Nearly every seat In the dress circle
and parquette had been disposed OF before the
curtain rose. while even mp to the beginning OF
the second act, crowd was gathered about the
ticket office, or passing steadily up the stairway
into the house. The consequence was an assem-
blage such as has not gathered together In the 81
Charles for many dgy,.and the inspiring sight
seemed TO iniuse new srdor into the perform
ers, gyingAo Shakspeare's beautiful comedy, AS
You Like II, q more spirited representation than
Il had yet met with during Mrs. Sddons' stay. The
cast embraced Mrs. Siddons, Of course, as Rosa
lind, Mr.. DeBar as IoutJastone, MI Pope as
Jaques, Mr.. Stevens ss Orlando, and Miss Us
borne as Celia, with the same distribution OF mi
nor characters as before, and the entire perform
ance savored of q redEed dramatic taste which
must have made it emneatly acceptable to the
many present.
Tonight Mrs. siddous viii appear ia two char.
acters Mrs. Hdler in ":che Stranger" and hdth
crime in the flaming or the Shrew," and to-mor-
row night she plays that famous Shakspearean
character, Lady Mdcbe.a.
