ADJUSTMENTS.

A CELEBRATED CAsE.-This play is
said to be one of the best of the modern
emotional school, and has won equal popu-
larity with the now celebrated 1.-TWO Or
phans," by the same authors. The New
York Herald makes this mention of the
production Of the piece in New York:
NiblO's Garden last night was filed 10
overlooking by an audience w~hichjudging
from the enjoyment manifested, evidently
saw "A Celebrated Case" for the first time.
While the great size Of the house causes
one to miss the effect of some Ofthe finer
touches in in which the play abounds, the
company is so excellent that the general
action compensates for whatever default
may be noticed in this respect by contrast
with the performance at Union Square.
The piece is superbly mounted, in fact,
with scarcely a shade of difference from its
presentation at the last named theatre as
regards scenery, dresses and tableaux.
Jean Renaud was admirably PLAYED BY
Mr.. +. X. Collier, Dennis 0'Rourke by
Mr.. Charles O'Brien, the Senesehal Of the
Village by MIR. w. II. Thorne. tho Gov
ernor of Provence by Mr.. Edwin Varrey,
Il EAuAANAlt MIhlUl illAlO ANAI ItICH hIlU HI
terward by Miss Emily Z. Baker, and
Valentine de Norway by Miss Emma
Markley. As the company have many
times performed the Celebrated Case
during the past season while ION the road
under the auspices of Messrs. Shook &
Palmer, the play ran as smoothly and
effectively as 1t has anywhere in the coun-
try. The management have evidently
madea hit in presenting it to their patrons
down town.
Reserved seats for the week can be Sc
cured at Hollenberg's tomorrow morning.
THE THEATER.-A large and highly
appreciative audience greeted Uncle
Toms Cabin at the Memphis Thoater last
night. Considering all the circumstances,
the play is having a very good run here.
1t rather grows upon the community, and
at the end of the engagement will be pro-
nounced one of the best attractions that
has been on the stage for several seasons.
The descriptive notice of the play
in yesterdays ALEDGER, which was
written after sitting one of the
performances through, seems 10 have
sharpened the edge of public cnriosi-
ty and interest. The increased attend
ance of last night will be followed by a
very full house tonight, as this is one Of
the fashionable" nights of the week. To-
morrow afternoon there will be a matinee,
and tomorrow night the engagement win
close. Those who fail to see Uncle Toms
Cabin, as presented by IKE best Of artists
and so admirably mounted on the stage,
will miss something that is really amusing,
entertaining and instructive.
FoREPAUGH's CIRoUs.-This great COM
bination has earned its populority through
out the Union, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and the lakes to the Gulf, by real
merit and fair dealing. The attractions
advertised are actually exhibited. 1t is q
splendid circus, museum and menagerie
combined. Only two days will the pa
vilion be seen on the bluff, next Monday
and Tuesday. The prices have been re.
duced to Soc and 25c, thus enabling all ia
attend. Comfortable seats will be pro.
vided for nearly 10000 people, and there
will no doubt be an immense attendance
to witness each performance.
