alter last night was presented to good

The character Of Lady Audley is one in
which Mrs. Bowers has made herself famous,

house witnessed Boucicault's drama, 1.-The
Octoroon," as presented last night at the St.
Charles.
Mr.. F. S. Chanfrau was all that could be
desired or expected as Salem Scudder, and he
was ably sustained by the company. The
Zoe (the Octoroon) of Miss Virginia Buchanan
was pleasing and life-like piece Of acting,
and met with reception such as it Was de-
serving Of.
The performance concluded with the come
dietta, "His Last Legs" which was thor
oughly enjoyed by all.

TIE OPERA.-We have seldom witnessed q
scene of more genuine enjoyment han that ex-
hibited Sunday night by the large audience as
sembled at the Opera House the largest Sun
day audience we have yet seen this season at
that house. That delightful three-act opera,
ssLe Voyage en- Chine" was most excellently
cast, and the funny scenes which succeed each
other throughout were received with roars OF
laughter Messrs. Miral as the sea-sick lover,
and Donval as the laxative notary, were par
ticularly amusing Mr.. Dardignac was as
positive and obstinate as the role called for,
and Mr. Gadilhe sang the part Of the naval
officer with his usual power and effect.
The leading female part was the occasion OF
another great success for that very charming
and promising artistic, Nile Henriette de Jolly,
whose sweet voice, fine vocal accomplish
ments and spirituel acting were universally re-
cognized and applauded. Since her admira-
BILE rendition of the part Of Adalg;sa, in 'Nor-
ma Mile. de jolly has become one OF the
greatest favorites of the Opera company, and
we are glad to be able to add, that in her case
it is "Vor pop,di, ror Del"
The other female parts of lie Voyage en-
Chine" were also very ably sustained by that
fascinating young actress, Mile. Fanny Lilo
gier, and by the excellent mere dugaSan, Nine.
Bourgeois.
The ballet of Dorina," which was given
after the opera, is, so far, the best opportu-
nifty the members Of the ballet corps have
had of displaying their merits. The leading
role is invested by Mile. Stickel with that
grace, elegance and eminently poetical color
ing which that gifted danseuse knows how to
impress on all her performances. In her sew.

Mr. Mamert, the composer of the ballet, who
also displayed much vigor and genuine chore.
graphic talent, she was several times recalled,
and bouquets innumerable were showered upon
her.
Nor were her two assistants, Miles. Augusta
and BRAGG, overlooked by the audience, and
they deserved and received their full share Of
applause. There is nothing lascivious OF
vulgar in the exhibitions of those three young
ladies, whose personal attractions are com.
bined with truly chaste and artistic style OF
dancing. The ballet feature is one of the
strongest cards Of Mr.. Canonge this winter,
and it grows more and more into popular
favor.
This evening, Halevy's gorgeous and pa
thetic production. "The Jewess," will be sung
by Messrs. Chelli. Feitlinger, Dardignac, Lau
rent, and Mesdames Anna Vercken and Du
moulin. This beautiful opera has not fol
many years been rendered with such com
pleteness, and the parts OF Eeazar (Chelli),
the Cardinal (Feitlinger) and Rachel (Allle
vercken), are among the most finished i'm
presentations of those distinguished artists.
