ADJUSTMENTS.

gagement by MIR. JnO. Mccullough, created
some doubts in the minds Of many as to his
ability to do justice to the imrersonation OF
the crafty cardinal Richelieu, but these were
quickly dispelled when he made his entree.
1t was evident Mr.. Mccullough had taken
great pains in the study of this character
The little nieeties of business, the smaller de-
tails in the by-play and the shuffling step of
the invalid, all showed with how much care
he had prepared himself and won many COM
mandatory remarks.
His acting was far beyond our anticipations,
for his physique and presence would seem to
be much against him in the part, but so thor
| oughly an artist is he, his personality was en-
| trely lost and none could recognize Spartacus
| in the willy old diplomat. The requirements
OF the piece do not necessitate those delicate
plays upon the expression of the face for which
| Mr.. Mccullough more than any Of our late
| tragedans is remarkable, but its demands are
more upon the information and Infections OF the
| voice. These he was superb in. The grand
climax, where the subtle statesman turns at
bay and awes the King with the mystic circle
of the Church, was grand in its effect and de-
serves more notice than our space allows.
Mr.. Theo Hamilton in De Bayadas was
without doubt finished piece of acting, and
shows that gentleman to be a thorough and
careful artist. Mr.. Thorne's De Mauprat stood
out in bold relief, and, in our Judgment, was
one of that actors greatest successes here.
| Julie De Mortimar was rendened in an easy
and very attractive style. The indisposition
of Miss Laura Don necessitated another lady
taking the part at short notice. That be-
witching little fairy Miss Ada Gilman as Fran
co.'s was charming, and merited the many
approving smiles she received.
| ST. CHARLES THEATER. - The ''FactOry
Girl" with Ben DeBar as Toby Twinkle,
and Goodies" in which Ben assumed his
great character, Timothy Toodles, were pre-
scented last night at the St. Charles to large
audience
Tonight the "Merry Wives of Windsor "
will be produced, with Ben DeBar as Fails all.
Good seats can be obtained by early apple =
ton at the box Office.
The OPERA. -There will be an extra matt
nee to-day at II o'clock, when those twin gems
of the modern French musical school, " Les
Noces de Jeanette and lie Chalet" and a
beautiful oae-act ballet, "Evelina,' will be
played by portion Of the lyrical, and the full
strength Of the Terpsichorean forces of the
Opera company.
In the evening. Rossinis opus noyn,na,
William TELL will be sung by Messrs.
Chelli, Meric, Feitlinser, Miles. de Jolly and
LOGGER, and all the vocal and instrumental
adjuncts belonging to that mastery produc-
ton of the greatest of modern composers
ACADEMY OF Music. Humpty Dumpty"
drew quite large audience last evening, and
the entertainment passed off with great credit
to all parties who took parts in this excellent
pantomime. Mr.. Geo. L. Fox, as usual,
brought the house down with applause, and
caused peals of laughter. to ring from pit to
dome Mr.. Bidwell has made q lucky hit in
the engagement Of his present company.
GAYETY THEArER.-The large audience that
greeted the many performers at this pleasant
resort must have been gratifying indeed to the
proprietor, Mr.. Flynne, who has spared no
pains in making his theater an orderly and
attractive place of amusement. The re-
nowned comedian, Mr.. Geo. Kurtz took the
house by storm, while Little Dot, in her beau
tiful songs and dances, won many admirers.
The banjo manipulations by Tom Warfeld
were hard to beat. But last, though not least,
the nonsensical remarks on the present ad-
ministration, by the funny Charlie Banks,
brought down the house in uproarious APP
plause. Indeed the whole company no " play
ing at the Gayety deserve the greatest credit
The following are extracts from letter
written by New Orleans gentleman, from
Liverpool, in regard to the steamship State of
Louisiana, of the State Line, on which steam
ship he made recent trip from New Orleans
to Liverpool:
have become well acquainted with all Of
the officers of the ship, and they are as clever
a body of gentlemen as have ever met. The
Captain Lieutenant johnson, is whole souled,
English tar, kind and pleasant, is thorough
seaman and has perfectly and we'll disciplin-
ed crew, over which he seems to have perfect
control, and everything works pleasantly and
swimmingly.
The purser, doctor and third officer are
elegant fellows, seem to me to be perfectly
efficient, and would trust them in dilemma
as quick as any officers l have ever travelled
with.
1t would be impossible to give enough praise
to the Captain and officers of the vessel.
For GRAND EconE.--Capt. Sinnott's packet
C. H. Durfee will leave this day, at ) p. NJ.
| DELIGHTFUL CHAMPAGNE.-Lovers of good
wine would do we'll to call on Toby & Co., 1872
Gravier street, and procure some of that
famous "Dry Monopole" Champagne. i'm
