ACADEMY OF MUs1c.-The performance
of miss Mutton" last evening at this
theatre by Miss Charlotte Thompson,
well supported by Misses Corrie Thomp-
son, Wilmot, Leclaire and Delmar and
Messrs. Power, Pike and Reed, was
another excellent rendering Of an ex-
cellent play. The houses, we regret to
say, are getting simmer than the
qualities of the play and the talent
displayed in it by Miss Thompson
should cause US to expect. Very few
performances presented during the sea-
son on our stage have deserved the pat
ronage of lovers of genuine dramatic
art as much as Miss Mutton" and we
hope that our advice will be needed by
those who have failed to attend the
Academy since Miss Thompson's en-
gagement, to do go before its close,
which occurs on Saturday night.
