MErRoPoLrTsa THEATER.-Under the local
management of Messrs. Beals and Mott,
there appeared at the Metropolitan Theater
last evening, to full house. Jarrett and
Rice's Fun on the Bristol party. The
play-if such it may be calle1-;s an extrav-
agant farce in three acts, which gives full op-
portunity to eome very clever character
actors TO preseat themselves to excel
lent advantage. These are j. i.
Sheridan, Kate Castleton. Agnes Hal
lock, George kaine, Billy Courtris ut
tthe well-known g Flewy Flewy MINSTREL,
Richard Waldron, Myron Calico. i. c. Dun
bar, s r. Taanehiu and William Hughes.
They are I'll good specialists of the rolIicking
and Jolly order. Mr. Sheridan leads, and
Justly so, for his assumption OF the part of
i rich, but ignorant. Irish widow, with tive
manageable daughters on hand, Is admir-
able. TIE widow is beses by claimants for
the hands of her girls, and the latter, to
avoid forced marriages, elope upon Long
Island Sound steamer, upon which the
mother follows them, where the parties
all take on a variety of characters,
and masquerade through an evening Of
song. dan "a and character acting. This oiio
is full Of fun. OF course the piece in no
vie addresses the better intelligence, but
neither does it appeal 20 the baser passions.
It is a broad farce, with an interlude Of the
concert hall character, which is good, without
vulgarity, unsteady superior to the like part
in THE Tourists" and without offeDss in
any respect. Il affords the auditor two hours
OF laughter that has its vAine in physical
sense, and compeusates, perhaps, in its rest
ful results. The performance evidently aims
only to create hearty laughter and awaken
honest mirth over the veriest nonsense, and
hence is to be edjuiged q complete success.
There is in TIE piece some very good sing
iug-all Of the burlesque order-but pleasing
nevertheless; and some of the voices are Of no
ordinary character. The audience last evening
was kent in the inerTiest of humcrs, and If
any dyspeptics vera present, their digestive
organs must have received a stimulus that
will aid them well on to recovery, if laughter
be, as is asserted, the best OF remedies for IL
digestion and the blues. The piece viii be re-
peatcd this evening for the last time, and
Courtright, who was received with much
warmth by Cd admirers. will repeat his
Patter OF the Shingle," and introduce

leagues on other popular operas.
