MITCHELL's PLEASURE PARTY" Our
Goblins; or, Fun on the Rhine" will be
given at the Theatre tonight by W. G.
Mitchell's Pleasure Party. The piece is
said TO possess very little il any plot, but
what it lacks in hat respect is more than
made up by the numerous and quickly
succeeding scenes OF burleSquc, which are
eXtrayagantly ludicrous. Apart from the
other features OF the performance, the mu-
sic is said to be very fine, and embraces
selections from Oliyctte, Billee Taylor, and
other well-known compositions, in addi-
ton TO that written expressly for the Cob
linS. Persons who have witnessed the per-
formance elsewhere pronounce ii most
enjoyable one. The Theatre will doubtless
be crowded.
