PBINCE OF WALES THEATEE, " Formosa " drew another crowded and fashionable audience last night, and was more successful than on its first representation. We are glad to notice in last night's performance that the long and tiresome waits between the acts, consequent on the first night of a new piece, were remedied, and the result was, that the audienco were enabled to leave the theatre at eleven o'clock, an hour which most people prefer,—especially those living in the outskirts of the city, whose name last night appeared to be legion. Mr. Hoskins, we are glad to perceive, is gradually getting better of his severe attack of influenza ; his acting last night in the character of Major Jorum was superbly grand; while that graceful young actress, Mis 3 Colville, in the part of Formosa, was unsurpassable. Tonight the same programme will be repeated.
