Music HALL.-The audience at Music Hall
last evening was not large, but it seemed to en-
joy itself heartily. The songs by Kitty Stan
ley and Grew were well received, while Clarke's
and Neil Burgess eccentricities provoked exu-
berant mlrth. As now constituted, the troupe
is an excellent variety company and worthy of
patronage A good bill is presented tonight.
