AMUSE'MENI,S,

VARIETIES THEATER.-A large and fashiona-
BILE audience witnessed the second representa-
ton Of ''Richelieu" by Mr.. Barrett, it being
the occasion of his farewell benefit. If MIR.
Lawrence Barrett needed any proof that his
talents are appreciated in this city, that proof
iAevidenced by the very flattering house he
played to last night, and also at each per
Torrance during his engagement. The most
captious critic would be at a loss to find fault
with his personation Of the Lord Cardinal
last evening.
There is 50 much to commend, from the
opening lines. when stands the Cardinal ap-
parently the supreme power OF France, all
through this wonderful dramatic work Of Lyt-
ton, to the scene where he is shorn OF his
power and then renstated, that the mind
! wayers and is lost in admiration.
In the scene where to save Julia from the
clutch Of the King he draws the "awtul cir
Gle of the solemn church" and threatens to
''launch the curse of Rome" his interpreta-
ton and delivery made the situation one Of
painful interest.
The support was more than ordinarily good,
This afternoon will be presented $ Rosedale"
for the matinee, and this evening, it being
the last appearance of Mr. Barrett, he will APP
pear. as shylock il 1.-The Merchant OF Ven
ice.
ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-That popular come
dian, Nose w. Fiske, and his charming
daughter Marion, received quite an ovation
from their many friends on the occasion of
their benefit last night. Under the Ga,light
was selected as the programme of the even
ing, and its exciting details served to closely
keep the attention of the house wrapped in
the development of the solution of the plot.
Those wonderful performers, the Naidis
Children, again won for themselves a high
their daring feats. To-day, noon, there will
be a matinee given for the benefit of the
ladies, and on Monday the Lingards will put
in an appearance.
ST. CHARLES THEATER.- very attractive
pantomime of Jack and the Beanstalk was re-
peated last night to a large audience, the oc-
tricks were all good and succeeded each other
with surprising rapidity, their funny denole-
ment being the signal for irrepressible laughter
and applause.
The railroad scene at the close of the first
act, is a capital burlesque on the sensational
railroad crossing over the continent. The
specialties are also exceptionally good, AMI
embrace a number of pleasing performances.
To-day, OF noon, matinee will be given.
