THE SHERIDAN AND MACK CoMBINA-
TGoH.-Our citizens are very fortunate III
two respects. First, in being permitted
to indulge their taste for Amusement once
more before the season at the Opera
House closes entirely, and second, in
having the above combination TO srsats
for them mirthful and pleasant enjoy
ment. a very good house indeed, greet
ed the appearance Of these laughter
provoking people, last night, and
from the rise of the curtain
until its fail, the entire audience were
thoroughly amused. Messrs. Sheridan
ana Mack themselves have made ma
tionsl reputation, and the company to
support them have been selected on the
basis Of their own standard OfeIcellence
1t is needless to describe the pertormance
in which thsy made their greatest hit
the protean piece called, "whos dat
Knockin ON de outside gade.' II was
excellent and the rapdity with
which they changed their
dresses and assumed their different parts
was simply wonderful. Mr.. j. d. Kelly
gives All entertainment rarely seen, and
his playing OF alone Sweet Home
upon the conccr;ina and banjo at the
same time, together with his numerous
limitations, and performances upon differ
cnt Instruments, stamp shim indeed as Il
musical phenomenon. Mr.. Bray, toe, as
Luclier Wilmington Watlies, the black
imp, is irrcsistibIy funny throughout; but
where hc engages in that alteration with
the orchestra, tho house rOars and liter
ally csAIes down. Space fails to tell OF
Mr. Turner and his inimitable carica
lures, and the singing and dancing Of the
lady members OF the company. In short,
the whole performance is really first
class, not only exceedingly amusing, but
attractive because it discards everything
thread and is entirely fresh and
new. Mr.. Hamilton is determined to
wind up the season in a blaze Of glory.
