The THRATBRs.-That popular actor, Mr..
WI. Florence, takes his benefit at the National

the occasion-hls new play of "Cousin Jack, -
translated by himself from the French, and a
very laughable comedietta called the "Irish
Mormon" He should have a crowded house.
We hope be will have an opportunity of again
appearing in that most charming domestic
drama, Coming Home, /" for poor ''Joe STAN
mers" last night made many a tear roll down
the cheeks of his audience, which were quickly
driven away the very next moment by the
eccenricitles so cleverly portrayed. The play
was superbly mounted and deserves a repe-
tition.
Miss Leclerq repeated "Fate" last evening
for the last time. sad will tonight appear for
her benefit in her greatest role Mercy Mer-
rick" in "The New Magdalen," which was
dramatZed fer her by Wilkie Collins, the author
OF the novel, who claims to have improved the
story IN the drama. OF course the house will
be crowded on this occasion, even If it does
snow.
The benefit of Mr.. Hugh Herman, acting
manager Of the Theater Comique, should attract
the largest house Of the season at that theater,
not altogether on account of the brilliant pro-
gramme which has been arranged for the occa-
sion, but because the management have always
engaged the newest md best attractions in the
varieties theaters Of the country for appearance
here.
