A SUCCEss.-The exhibition of Tableaux Z
last night at the Opera House, was attended
by large and fashionable audience, anu
was success in every particular. The
Tablosux were we'll chosen and ths young
ladies' and gentlemen who took part in the
performance maintained their parts excsed :
lngly well. Several scenes were equal to
almost any of the same character by trained
performers. The audience were well enter
tained and manifested their pleasure in
frequent applause and by thus requiring a
repetition OF nearly every piece. The sue
cess of the ladies was we'll merited and IL ia

couraged 10 undertake other benevolent
enterprises, which will prove equally as
remunerative.
