AMUSEMENTS.

Pbince of Wales Theatbe. — This fashionable place of amusement was, as usual, crowded in all parts to witness Boucicault'g sensation drama of " The Octoroon," which has been placed on "the stage in the same careful manner that has always characterised the management of this theatre. The parts were all excellently represented. We perceive the piece will be repeated this evening for the last time, and advise all who can to witness the last representation of this magnificent play. Thursday evening, we perceive Ly advertisement in another column, is set apart for a complimentary benefit to Mr. Hoskins, which has been tendered 1o him by a large number of gentlemen. The pieces are to be that famous comedy of " The Serious Family." and "Used Up." Should tho weather prove fine, we expect to see a crowded and fashionablfe house./

Gbeai Would Circus.—As usual, this place of amusement, was crowded last evening, jind an excellent programme gone through with' great success. Young Master Murray performed his part well, the comicalities of Messrs. Cowle and Murray were, as usual, well received, and the bold and graceful equestrianism of Mademoiselle La Ilosiere elicited immense applause. Great amusement was also caused by the rnanteuvrings of an eccentric donkey, which was addicted in a most extraordinary degree to putting his riders overboard. lhe ballet of "The Three Lovers" concluded an entertainment of a superior j character. To-morrow's proceedings will be devoted to the benefit of La- Jiosiej-o, who fully deserves a crowded house.
