A more excellent combination OF artists has rarely
appeared In the city, and the manager, Mr.. T.
Mcguire, is pot undeserving Of hearty congratua-
tions nom those who can enjoy an hour or two Of
genuine humor-sparkling selections, sweet bal.
lads, characteristic Dances and, indeed, negro &C.
eentricties In their quaint and wonderful variety
for presentlng such 4 well Arranged and agreeable
enteTtalhment. Since the opening night the
1ttou establishment has been thronged to
excess by delighted audiences, who could
not fail to appreciate the novelty and
sterling merits or the entire performance;
Seldom, indeed, has any similar troupe presented
and successfully carried out more enjoyable pro-
gramme. 1t would be almost invidiOus to make
distinctions, but Emerson is unquesti0nably host
In himself, for his admirable personatiOns are not
only mIrth-prOvoking, but display decided talent
and thorough conception OF the various roles he
presents. Although II would take time to specify
and describe the innumerable comicalities, irre-
ststible sketches and fresh wtticisms that occur
during the evening, or refer to the many excellent
vOcalists and instrumentalists that compose Che

Academy Of Music.

Mrs. Macready changed her bill last evening and
gave Bulwer's drama OF "Richelicu." There was
fair house, for 1t was at least half filed, though
with an audience highly suggestive Of eleemosy-
nary principles. In criticising the performance
something must, Of course, be allowed for the oD-
vious and notorious unftness OF the Academy for
anything else than music. 1t is almost impossible
for an ordinary voice to be heard cooquialy farther
than half way across the auditorium. Indeed, one
might as well give an elocutlonary entertainment
in Central Park. But even to those who were suf-
nciently near the stage TO hear the rendering Of
the piece was much worse than merely disappont-
ing and unsatisfactory. Rarely has there
