AMUSEMENTS.

American Theatre. —'The Royal company appeared at this place of amusement last evening, in the ppwerful drama entitled" Plot and Passion.” Miss A. Bowring, as Madame Pontage,was clever and effective, and sustained the role of the heroine with consummate skill. Mr Steele’s Marquis de'Cedenncs, entitled him justly to the applause the audience bestowed on his acting. Mr Joyce’s Desjncret was faultlessly rendered, and certainly contributed much to the success of the piece. The attendance was very fair, and we hope it will bejan induement for the company to visit again. The burlesque of the “Forty Thieves” concluded the entertainment. Academy of Music. —There was a large attendance at the Academy of Music last night, though as a general rule on Friday ' evenings there is hut a poor audience, i The now well known Formosa went as ; successfully as ever, and the various j points told with as nmch effect upon the j audience as on any previous occasion, i Wc Lsliove .hat the Lancashire Lass will J be produced early next week, and that | wc are likely to have Mr Jones’ excel j lent company remaining with us for j some time, together with the bright par- | ticuiar stars Miss Colville and Mr Hoskins. | To-night Formosa wi,l he played, and as | tin's is its first Saturday representation, j of course there will be a crammed house. 1
