ADJUSTMENTS.

VARIETIES THEAIEE. The public have rea-
son to tender Mr.. John Owens much thanks
for his sound judgment in presenting to our
play-goers Mr. Jno. Mccullough. 1t has been
some time since we have enjoyed such intel
lectual repasts as that gentleman has nightly
rendered us, and We think some more substan-
tial M ode of tes.ifying our regard should be
taken. In "kirg Lear last night he was
most effective
Bringing to bear keen perception, an ex-
tensive knowledge OF human nature and a
genius capable OF thoroughly assimilating
the entity Of his part, Mr.. Mccullough went
beyond the traditional Lears and gave newer,
stronger personation. Terging on the con-
fines of reason gone, his nice appreciation
still remained true to the nature OF the part,
and he reta ned just enough OF sound reason
70 at intervals speak and ask with Judgment of
a man not frenzied at base ingratitude.
Mr.. Wallace as Earle Of Gloster, confirmed
the unanimous judgment of all who had seen
him in the "Road to Ruin" that ne was a true
exponent Of his parts
We were exceedingly well pleased at Mr..
Carhart's Edgar. The difficult, and at most
times little appreciated, task OF extravagant
.by-play was admirably rendered, and excited
considerable favorable comment. Miss Laura
Don as Corde!ia was very effective Her grace
and smoothness Of motion, her clear and dis
tinet enumeration, made Eer rendition pleasing
in the extreme. Mrs. Carhart as Goneril
needs no comment. She Was better, perhaps,
in this character than we Lave hitherto seen
her in others, and brought ont in a strong
light the ungratetul child. Miss Anna Ince's
Regau was quite artis.ically rendered
"Hamlet" will lie given at matinee to-day.
ACADEMY OF MUslc.-Ta;5 tavorite place Of
resort was jammed las. night by the world
worn and toiling. as relief for a few hours
from this world Of cares, to enjoy q hearty
laugh by witnessing Mr.. Fox and his panto
mine troupe in the renowned '.Humpty
Dumpty at Home
1t will be played at the matinee at noon to-
day and tonight for the last time, and all
parents who wish to see their children enjoy a
hearty laugh should take them to the matinee
to-day to see "Humpty Dumpty at Home,
as it is their last chance, as 'Humpty Dumpty
Abroad will be put upon the board OF the
Academy on Monday.
ST.. CHARLES TaEAIEH.-The announced
benefit of Ben DeEar, together with the pro-
mulgated fact that he would appear in his
great character OF Toodles, in the comedy
of that name, and as Aminitiab Sleek, in the
"Serious Family" last nigh; drew TO the St.
Charles only a fair audience.
For tonight great bill is announced.
On Monday evening, Little Neil, the Ca
liforni;. Diamond" vii. appear in her new pro-
team play of "No Name"
The OpEEA.--At the matinee to-day. Adams
delightful three act opera Isl J'etais Roi,
will be sung, Mr. Gadilhe taking the leading
tenor part.
The price of admission to the Opera matt
noes has been reduced to fifty cents, but re-
served seats will continue to be sold at seven
Gy-five cents.
The third performance OF Rossini's greatest
and there is every reason to anticipate very
fashionable and crowded audience.
The leading parts are very ably sustained
by Mr.. Cheli as Arno}d Mr.. Meric as Tel,
Mr.. Feitlinger as Walhe, and Niles. de jolly
and LOGGER as -Uothude and ,Jenny. All the
subordinate roles are also excellently well
played, and there is ballot interlude, in
which Mr.. Mamert and Miles. Stickel, BRAGG
and Augusta will illustrate the poetry Of mo-
ton. There is not in modern music finer
production than William Tell,' and the cele-
!brated trio of the second act, and the great
:" conspiracy chorus" which follows, are uni
xersally considered as the sublimest achieve
ments OF Rossini's prolific genius.
Tomorrow nights programme is one which
cannot fail to fill the Opera House 1t en-
and that ever popular gem, '.The Daughter
If the Regiment"
The activity and yea! displayed at the Opera
House deserves generous recognition, and we
hope there will be remunerative audiences at
that fashionable resort-the only permanent
opera in the United States.
