ADJUSTMENTS.

THE VARIETIES THEATER. -Offenbachs ia
nous opera boutfe of ia Grande Duchesse I"
was produced at this theater last evening tor
the first time by the opera company, and taking
into consideration the fact that they had never
before played it together, they presented a
very enjoyable entertainment. Mile. Geof-
troy, although suffering from slight hoarse-
ness, sang very cleverly; her rendition Of the
exquisite solo, Dites-lui, in the second act,
was loudly encored, and other OF her songs
were deservedly appreciated. Nine.
DeQuercy made very excellent Fritz,
and the Gen. Boum of Mr.. Roger was
also clever performance. Mile. Hosdez
filled the role of Wanda in place of
Mile. Nardynn, and gave US very acceptable
performance Messrs. Darcy, Castel and
Walter were also very fair. The trio between
Messrs. Roger, Castel and Darcy, in the third
act, was deservedly applauded, and the
closing of the act by these same gentlemen
and Mile. Geofroy was SO enjoyed by the
audience that an emphatic recall were given.
The acting of Mile Geoffroy and Mr.. De
Quercy in the second act was excellent, al
though the lady might have somewhat i'm
peated tonight, and patrons of the house
nave the opportunity OF enjoying really ex-
cellent performance.
MADAME L'Archiduc" will be the attrac-
ton at the matinee.
The ST.. CHARLES THEATER.-Tobins ex-
cellent comedy of 1.-THE Honeymoon" and
the farce of the "Spectre Bridegroom, con-
stituted the programme last evening on the
occasion of the benefit of Mr. DeBar. The
audience although not large was very ap-
preciative one. and seemed heartily to enjoy
the performance.
As the Mock Duke Mr.. DeBar is truly ex-
cellent; he presents very ludicrous and at
the same time truthful picture of the steward
elevated to power; his great;facial expression,
added to his keen sense of humor make him
an excellent comedian, and in this particular
character enable him to appear to great ad
vantage.
Miss Pierson made very excellent Juliana;
