Panx Tueatax.—Orvini, the great necromancer, made nis debut last evening at the Park Theatre, which he bas engaged forthisweek. A largeand highly respectable audience were in atter.dance, who seemed delighted surprised at many of the curious and, indeed, almost raculous feats of the famed magician. His interpreter, however, had disappointed him, and be was obliged to employ one who proved utterly incompetent for his task: We learn, however, that Mons. Orsini’s regular inter- preter willappear this evening, and the entertainment experiments are all new, and it would puzzle the most acute observer to tell how they are accomplished. Orsini will give another entertainment this evening. Bowery Tusatae.— The Wizard,” at this elegant and well organized theatre, continues to produce a rush which seems to augment every night. Indeed, the sur | prising beauty and ness exhibited in this piece, the fine acting and thrilling interest of the whole can hardly | be appreciated. The management will be obliged to | continue it for some longer time, in order to satisfy pub: | lic curiosity. For a long time our theatres have had nothing that can compere to this “Wizard of the Wave.” ‘We understand it will be repeated to-night, and we ad- vise all the admirers of art and talent in this scenic arene, to be present and see this piece. “Sweethearts and Wives,” is too well known to require our remarks—it was admirably performed. Hadaway was irresistibly comic ; Mrs. Sergeant; as Susan, was delightful. All the performers played their parts well. Howr’s Cincus, Parmo’s.—Howe’s circus was opened ening at Palmo’s opera house. The house has been exquisitely trimmed and fitted up. A lerge and fashionable audience was in attendance, who were highly delighted with the performance. The troupe of riders and athlete are very superior, and display the noble equestrian and athletic feats of the ancients en- tirely freed from the coarseness and vulgarity which have of late attached themselve: \e of the itinerant circus companies. The clown was exceedingly rich and funny with his impromptus, and said nothing which could offend the most fastidious ear. But the crowning act of the evening, and one which drew down the loudest applause, was the appearance of Madame Macarte. This wonderful woman entirely exceeds, in skill and classic beauty of execution, any female equestrian who ever before appeared in this country. In fact, no other attempts to perform the feats which she does. She rides without saddle or bridle, and performs on the horse some of the most graceful acts that can possibly be im- agined. Her chaste and classic skill, united te her win- ning menners, will draw large and applauding houses. We are glad that a temple has raised in this city where sports of the ring have been revived iu their purity. Many persons have entertained an absurd idea of the immorality of attending a circus. The developement of the noble physical powers of man is a study in which all shoul d engage, and nowhere that we know of can it be better seen than at How MusicaL.—Musical matters in this metropolis have exhibited some singular eccentricities of late, even more than the legitimate drama. The orato- rio of “‘Jephtha,” composed by Mr.Hewitt,was given the other evening at the Tabernacle, and it fell in a We cannot tell whether it has any merit or not, for there were but few there, and even the musical reporters of the press could not obtain admittance. Many attempts have been made during the last improve the taste for music—to raise the levelo musicalappreciation. But with some few individu- al exceptions, such{as Ole Bull or De Meyer, these efforts have generally ended in mere abortions. A year ago we had a very good opera troupe, and just as they were beginning by considerable tact te pro- duce an impression, they quarrelled, fought, abused each other behind the scenes, brought their difficulties before the curtain, and finally were seattered to the four winds of heaven. Some are in Mexico, some in Havana, and others nowhere. The French opera troupe made a tolerable hit, but the German opera explod to- gether. The efforts, also, to import opera singers from Italy and the continent of Europe, have proved, thus far,abortive. Neither has much better success attended concerts during the last few years, with some few exceptions. These exeeptions we have already alluded to. Ole Bull’s peculiar his- toryand singularity of genius gave him a popularity that no one has touched, unless it be the great pianist, De Meyer. The latter commenced in this city, during the present season, in the midst of a similar exhaustion, and soon produced an excite- ment. He hada bright prospect of success before him, when indisposition arrested him, in Boston, and Tecovered from that indisposition, he now proposes to commence again, next week, and call forth that enthusiasm which canonly be brought out by such nique and singular genius as he possesses, Many concerts have been given during the winter, but all of them have been poorly attended, with the exception ef those of Mrs. Valentine Mott, whose from the fashionable world. Madame Lazare, an admirable performer and teacher on the harp, had also a good concert. Thus it will be seen that musical affairs in this city and in this country are marked with even more eccentricities and changes than the legitimate drama itself. The higher order of music addresses itself | to the refined classes, to those impulses which can | only be produced in the most enlightened circles. By the great mass of the people, human nature broadly and briefly displayed in the drama is much better" appreciated and understood. We have, indeed, what is called “music for the millon.” | Troupes of chorus singers and harmonists have sprung up trom the foot of a mountain, or the edge of some eastern forest—have travelled through the country, and managed to pick up some dollars. But these are mere transient gleams of an ill-regulated light. Like the flash of lightning in a dark night, the land around, for an instant, is seen in its broad features, and all is dark thereafter. Nothing can be predicted of musical success in this country, except of those candidates for public favor who possess the highest order of genius and the most per” | fect qualifications.
