AMUSEMENTS.

PRINCESS'S THEATEE,

"Richelieu" was played at the Theatre last evi ning to n large audience. The character of the Cardinal is one in which Mr Hoskins has frequently appe.ired here, and his impersonation of the wily statesman is doubtles j one with which most of our th«atre-going readers are familiar. Miss Colville was Julie, Mr Douglas De Mauprat, and Mr Burford Do Baradas. To-night Mr Collier will appear in "Othello."

THK QUEEN'S THEATRE.

The Queen's Theatre was crowded to excess iu the lower parts of the house last evening, when the combined forces of the dramatic company and the Globs Variety Troupe appeared. The performance comnouue.l witu the comedietta " The Day after iko Wedding," which waß capitally played. The Variiity Troupe's portion of the programme waj c-.-imaunccd by Mous. Heunecke, who performed a uumoer of tricks of legerdemain ia au exceedingly <:I. -ver and graceful manuer. Some of them were new, and said to be crigiual, the decanter trick tlie iucst deserving of notice. Miss Kate Russoll at once established herself as a favorite, appearing three tiinei successively in di Hermit impersonations. Her first selection "Marching Through the Park," weut rather tamely, but when she appeared in answer to an encore as a grenadier, singing "I'm a little drummer boy," with drum accompaniment, the audience became quite demonstrative, and insisted ou her appearance before the footlights. Mr E. A. Hart, the is possessed of a good baiitone voice and au immense amount of humor, which lar.ter he displayed to advantage in " The Little German Bind." H<B performance on the mandolin was generally appreciated. Johnny Mown, who will be remeuiberod from his connection witn Baker's Hibrfrnioou, is a tower of strength iu himself, and it would be impossible to say which of his impersonations last evening pleased most. His bone solo is certainly worth hearing. Miss B. Harris has a fair soprano voice, but last evening she was evidently not hoard at her best. The suspension of Mdllo Stella (which was first intoduced here by Madame Coral, followed, and was performed successfully by Professor Hennecke's agency. The duet of "The Quikers" furnished further proof of Mips Eussell's versatility, her duu;ing of a sailor's hornpipe being loudly ve-demand-d. Mr Hag.»arty has iiiaiutaiued his reputation of being a purveyor of gond amusemeat for his patrons Last evening the audieuce wore incessant iu their demnuds for encores, and in every case those wero complied with.
