AMUSEMENTS.

THE CIRCUS. The Circus will only bo here till Saturday, and m consequence the management intend giving a change of programme each evening. The programme of last night was a good one and was well received by a numerous audience! On Saturday there is to be a midday perform'ance for the benefit of children. THE GIRARDS. A very enjoyable entertainment was given by the Girard Brothers, assisted by Mr Jacobs, at tne vjueen s Theatre last evening. As far as the performance of the Girards is concerned, it was unexceptionable, and in their particular line they have never been approached by any artists who have hitherto appeared in this City*. 1 he wonderful and outlandish attitudes in which they placed themselves excited the wonder of the audience, and we must confess that nothing but a personal visit will convince the public it is possible the human muscles are capable of beiD ß developed to such an extraordinary degree ot flexibility, Their exertions to amuse were tnoroghly successful, and the abundant applause

they received was well deserved. Mr Jacobs met with a good reception. As the stay of the Girards is liuuted to this week, those who have not yet seen them should avail themselves of the present opportunity.

MR AND MRS CASE.

After nine years’ absence, during which they have visited and performed in almost every part of the inhabited globe, the Cases have come among us again to delight us with the "latest intelligence ” of the oddities they have met with in their travels. With the large au Renee that assembled at the Princess’s last nighty we renewed with much pleasuie our acquaintance with the clever little woman whose versatility has so often amused us before, and with her talented husband. And last night Grace Egerton, with all her old pluck and spirit, introduced us to a round of characters, whose variety is alone sufficient to charm, with such success that one’s only regret is to see the curtain fall. Thoroughly finished and truthful are her impersonations, and, though all are so good as to make comparison unnecessary, yet her Sairey Gamp, the female with a knowledge of every body’s business but her own, deaf Mrs Motherby, Miss Warbler, or the languid swell must be singled out as the most taking. How highly 'Satisfied' the audience were was shown by their disposition to encore everything, and Mrs Case was more than good-natured to comply with a request to sing a third time, as she did m one instance. The short intervals that are necessarily occasioned by Mrs Case in changing dress are taken advantage of by Mr Case, who plays selections on the English concertina in a manner that no other performer on that instrument is-capable of approaching, and shows that he is a violinist of no mean order. As the Cases are only here for the remainder of this week, so excellent an entertainment as they furnish should draw full houses every night.
