TIE THEArRE-MR. BARnErr's HAMLET.

The THEATRE-MR. BARRErT's HAMLET.
A much larger audience greeted Mr.. Barrett
last night, on which occasion he appeared in
the great character of Hamlet. His audience
was select and critical, and if anything was
wanting in his representation of Richclieu
to demonstrate the greatness Of Dir. Barrett
as an actor it was furnished last night in his
imDcrsonation Of Hamlet. lis eiocutionary
powers arc wonderful, and his quiet yet
graceful natural delivery must have struck
all who were present. Mr.. Barrett's is un-
questionably the best Hamlet ever presented
in this city-at least within the recollection
Of this writer.
The scene in which the King appears at
PRAYER, and tne chamber scene between
hamlet and the Queen, were rendered in the
most original manner and with striking
effect. As Hamlet, Sir. Barrett has in the
highest degree tue tvue dramatic instinct,
and last night he seemed 10 bring out new
beauties from tie Old, familiar passages OF
this great play Of Shakespeare. Once Or twice
lie was called before the curtain by his en-
thusiastc audience. who seeuied TO be COM
plctHiy Overcome WIZ; aorl1ratian tor the
aarca! actor. And Tic deserves 1t all.
Tonight there has been change ID The

CULTURE OF BULBS.

Bulb culture is one of the most beautiful
departments of Horticulture, and seems to
be increasing rapidly of latter time, es-
peclally in the vicinity Of cities. Last
spring we saw larger and more beautiful
beds OF hyacinths, tulips, &C., than ever
before. We insert from Mr.. Dreer's bulb
catalogue the following description -
bulbs belong to particular division Of
the vegetable kingdom; they are all, with
scarcely single exception, very orna-
mental, and hence desirable for the very
large size of their flower in proportion to
the entire plant, and for the brilliancy Of
their colors. By far the greater number
o. bulbs flower in the spring. and produce
their flower stems Immediately after they
begin to grow and shortly after they have
lowered they cease growing and remain
dormant and without leaves during the
remainder of the year; hence, almost all
bulbs require to be planted in the autumn
"a fact that most amateurs are apt to over
look. and frequently send their orders out
OF season. They require a free, dry and
somewhat rich soil, iuto which the roots
may penetrate freely. A bulb is essen
TALLY bud, and contains within itself the
germs OF the leaves and flowers which are
to be produced the following season thus.
in one sense, they are of more easy cul-
ture than any other class Of plants, be-
cause the germ being previously formed,
and the nourishment being provided in
the body Of the bulb, it is only necessary
to supply heat and moisture to cause them
to develop; this is fully exemplified in the
Hyacinth, Narcissus, Crocus, early Tulips,
and some other bulbs, which can be fow-
cred when placed over water in glasses
or in " ct moss. The Hyacinth is the es-
pecial favorite for forcing in glasses.
SoIL.-The proper compost for Hya-
cinths, Tulips, Crown Imperials, Iris.
Ranunculus, Anemones, Crocus, and most
other bulbs, is the following: one-third
sand, one-third well rotted COW manure,
and one-third good garden mould
TIME OF PLANTING.-The preferable
season for planting all hardy bulbs, is
from October to December; but they can
be set out at any later time, so long as the
bulbs remain sound.-Practicat Farmer.
