AMWSUNmrT SUKMLmr. The races and the fair while attrnaclg hither an unprecedented number of vaters have not con spired, it would seem, to shre with the theaters the patronage which in some shape or another all these transient guests are necessarily expected to bestow. The Academy, with lagwel to make its walls re-echo with his humor, has had the hu aineee this week, although the re-gagemeat of Mrs. biddons filled the St. Charles full on PFriday and last evenings, med wll probably keep it Ailed up to next Friday night when the engagement positively terminates. We prophkesied last week that could irs. Bidoas but play for seven nights snore it would be before brilliant houses. How correct were our antiolpations, let the attendance for the past two evenings show. She Is to give a reading next Wednesday noon. There will be be tween this time and that abundant season to ad vertise the fact, and let everybody know of the literary banquet to be offered. an. rorn's swlMnt. The dramatic season at the St. OCharles closes next Saturday night, with Mr. Charles Pope the manager's, beadt. We presume it is almost unnecessary to remind the public that the past season has been, as regards the sc.essaion of star performers who have appeared, the most brillia4t ever recorded in the annals of the old Drury. Mrs. 8iddos, Mrs. Lan der, Fanny Janauschek, the Hanlonr, Lotte, the Couldorks, and other artlste of national, even world wide, reputation have trod the boards, and in torn called forth the plaudits of our play goers. Through all this period the public have little known how untiringly, how perseveringly that one man, the man at the wheel, so to speak, has devoted himself to the arduous duties of the ma- f nagement; nevertheless, we can assure all our readers, if they do not all already know it, that to Mr. Pope is in great measure duoe whatever of at tractivenes the Bt. Charles stage has presented during the season. There have ben things lack Ing it is true, many things at which the captious critic might carp; but as for Mr. Pope he has been always prompt and punctual, systematic as clock work, always up in his part, a careful and pleas lng actor, and at all times a polished gentleman. The sensation drama is not his delight, although as a manager he has been compelled to follow public sentiment, In the production of seek pieces as "After Lark" or the lash of Lightning." But the decidedly cold sholder which the public turned last week upon the latter piece, and the ovation which greeted Mrs. Blddons in reappear Ing as Rosalind, show unmistakably that reaction in public taste whioh we have long foreseen, and points to the return of a healthful dramatic senti mcont, a surfeit of sensational. With good judgment, therefore, Mr. Pope has chosen "Hamlet" for his besefit performance next s Saturday night, hblmself appearing as the Price a of Denmaurk, supported by Mr. DeBar as the t G,'arte j'y, r, Yr. Baltan as the (Most, Mr. 8te- f venu as Lorrts. Mr. Ward as Polonfus, Miss Os borne as the Q.een, and Misn Belle Howtt as t Ophelia. This astribution of characters promises F a good representation of the play, and will be likely, when combined with the manager's pope. larity, to drl a crowd'ed house. On Sunday night, the l]thb Mst., Wilson's Minstrels commence a week's engagement at the St. Charles. Mrs. SBdduue goes to St. Louis on the termina tion of ter engagement this week, suceeding Miss Ada Webb at DeBar's Opera House. LrFF[ING w LL. The writer in one of the New York papers, who spoke of " Ce bon LefnRgwell," certainly is an adept In the sciende of nvomenclitnre, for he hit upon an appellation which expresses to a nicety what every one who has seen the great humorist wishes to say; or, perhaps we may quote what a : railroad man says of him: " Lengwell as a fun ist, s a smooth grade, steel rall, broad goge, sad seventy-two milee shorter than any other routm to mirth." He has been playing the gushing Clo ro da before crowded houses this week, but to o nht this comma-cal girl of the period comes to a tull stop, and in her place eaters Mr. fomeo J~luer J ~kinus, in " Too Much for Good Nature," a character spoken of as LeMngwell's master. piece of fun. But for that matter, it makes no difference in what part he appears, be has but to glance at his audience to convulse It with laughter. ?None should minr a chance of seeing him. The support which he receives from Misses Cavender and Fanny Stocqueller is admirable. We notice, too, that the Academy company on Friday night received an soceuslo in the appear. ance of Mr. Power, late of the Varieties, who came out as Dr. Flail in the " Irish Tutor." scnHoL. Over at the Varieties, the "Dangerous Game" has been drawing moderate houses through the week, and new extensive-preparations are making t for the production of RoBertson's great comedy, " School," tomorrow t.ight. Manager Floyd's enterprise in bringing it r;t this season, the same during which it was played in New York, is de. serving of compliment, for we have too often, hitherto, been obliged to wait for plays of similar popularity until they had got to be one season old. The plot of the piece is briefy this: Bell (Miss Alice Grey) and 'aomni T2ihe (Mts Jote Orton) are both pupils of Mrs. ,udihfe (Mrs. Isbella I'reston. Both are orphes, bat Bells has been I adopted by Mrs. S. LordL Beaufoy (Mr. Sheri. dan) and his asocilate and frieul, Jock Poyns I (Mr. Floyd), viustng the sohool with Farifosh (Mr. lger), a decrepit ga!lant and Lord Beanfoy's onole, become enamored, the former of BDela, the I latter of Naomi. After a lover's interview, Della, denounced to Mrs. otolhfnle by Kruz (Mr. Cogs well), a malicious tslbher, is expelled from school. D)iappearing yeterloly a few weekts later, and being lost sigl of even by Naomi, who bhas befriended her throughout, be i supposed to have become the mistres of Lord BDeafoy.

(t THEATICALs IN NEW YOR. ha A friend of ours sends the following Interesting sketch of a run around among the theaters of New York : Nsw Youa, April 5, 1569. rim Fiend Felis-Thinking that a few items as to C matters theatrical from the Empire City would be wi interesting to some of your readers, I have jotted wl down what I have seen during the past few nights. m4 Of course, the first thing I did wasee to go to on " School " t of WALLACKS, kil Where Robertson's exquisite comedy ls being by played. I hope Floyd will give it to you before so his season ends. It i splendidly put upon the loj stage here. The garden soee (third and fourth to acts) is one of the most natural I ever saw. By the way the orchestra of this house is a decided festure, conducted by Thos. Baker, who has in. troduced in it a piano and harmonlum, which give telling effect. In some of the classical mauic, as lo produced by him also in the evening's pro. on grammes, a the names of the airs played with thi those of their composers, a feature that would Oa give great accommodation if followed by the New de Orleans managers. Having been let out from wI "School" early, and not having any idea of bL going home " till morning," I went around the corner to see a man, and discovered that I was frI only a square from that World-known building, the What a change since last I stood within thes pe walls, and yelled myself hoarse with cheer for the pr choice of the Democracy ! Now I am exerting w myself just as much in praise of the splendid com- Se pany of gymnasts, borle-quers, dancers, etc., en. t gsged there. I saw the Gregory Brothers do their wonderful feat entitled the ' Three Fliing Men," the finale of which M selollows: Two of the brothers hang from t~r apparatus heead downward, the third hangs the hands of No. 1, KV gives a few short swings, and is hurled through ns the air, turning a complete somersuult, and bli catches No. 2 by the wrists. When one remem tal bers that this is done about forty feet above the aD stage, without a net or anything to break the fll co of that gallant boy, it is enough to make one wish that there were laws to prevent suc hazardouse exhibitions. The Academy of Music in New Or leans is. a miniature Tammany, although only is size, for it strikes me that Bidwell & Co., manage their house, both before and behind the curtain, much better. Coming out from Tammany, I saw the name of Janauscek on the bill boards of the he ACADMY oP MuSoc. qt with that wonderful drama, Moseuthal's " le. borah " announced for the next evening. I at dr once made up my mind where I would go, and I bo went. There was the same matchless form, the same heartbroken Jewess that only a week or two s before I had seen in the Old Drury of New Or. th leans, (but this time without the felihne aooom paniment.) There was that same wild and pas sionate call for Joseph, but as the "Tempest" ui was to be produced at the m onaD r oran nOusa a On the same evdalag, I could only stay sad see I the oseond act of "Deborah." I jumped into a it Founrteesth street stage cand was quitaly whirled to the corner of Twenatythird street aad Eighth ni Avenue. cissors! what grandeur, what s an- of dience. The only compaerisoen I could remember mc that equaled it w the one collected in the Freach s Opera Hoose, New Orleas, on Audibert's benesfit. last seaeoa; bhot as I went to see the " Tempest " to and not the audieace, I did ot waste much time in on the latter. The play is put on the stage In splendid style. I did not e the ship-sinking A, scene, but was told that it was very effective. E. P1 L. Davenport as Prospero sad WIm. Davidga as (jlibran, were as good as the meet fastidious T Shakspeeresa esholar could wish. With Miss J.

Bat, to do the of lady justice, it seems she is not doing her di usual lie of business. Having got a tute lif for 8bakepeare, I went early next evening to th see "Romeo sad Juliet " at OOTR's. p Tthat is.ell I can tell you, for after the many 'o able deecriptions that have been published of fu this beartiful house, of the splendid and fainished Ot sacting of Mr. Booth, Mr. Adaus, Mark timith, ' Miss MoVieker and Fanny Morant, it would be abortive for me to attempt to do so.
