| r1EH TliSAL ElC0OME.
Our readers are aware that during
the summer the New Memphis The
ater has been thoroughly reftted and
also undergone extensive alterations,
which will make it more desirable as
a place of fashionable resort. The
management are detrimlned TO spare
neither pains or expense to deserve
the liberal patronage which they are
sure to receive, and the new season
will begin under the most favorable
auspices for themselves and the COM
munity to whose entertainment
they cater.
The chief attractions OF the Lon
don theaters now are BOucicault's
"Formosa, at Drury Lane, Handel's
:" Acis and dalatea," at the Princess, i,

Prince OF Wales, and Gilbert's "Old
Score" at the Gaiety. The burlesque

-Ristori seems to have made
great hit in Brazil. From Rio Ja-
metro we learn that she has appeared
as Medea, Maria Stuarda, and Pia,

Emperor and all the Court being pres

theaters came to read verses written
in honor of the great actress, whose
appearance, they declared, has resus-
citated the dramatic art in Brazil;
and, during this manifestation, the
Emperor and the public remained
standing and uncovered.
The London Era, theatrical au-
thOrity for England, says Of the first
performance Of BOucicault'S last and
greatest work, "FOrmosa; or The
Railroad to Ruin" at Ilrury Lane:
