Turaran.—-The boxes of this theatre were quite fall, last evening, to witoess the performance of the cele- brated daneuese. Mile. Biangy. The first piece was the “White Horse of the Peppers,” the characters of which ‘wereably sustaived by the stock company. Mr. Brougham ‘as Gerald Pepper. performed the part very respectably, end Base, as Hane Mansteldt, the German, was & capital Personation. Next came the beeutifol ballet of ‘Giselle, or the Willies.” It is a wild, romantic piece. and is founded on an old German legend, which describes the sceneon the banks of the Rhine. The scenery and ether tage property were magnificent, civing ‘o the bel- let @ benurifal and imposing effot. Mile Blangy, as Gi- ‘9 peasant cirl, transformed into « fairy, gave to the character all that. graceful carriage, elegance of style, and vimbleness foot could do, in someting, the Desutiful, simole, artless peasant girl, and the fasciaating, charming Willie. Inthe first act, where she discovers her mistake, in supporing that ber lover, Priuce Al- brecht, was e pearant, the agony of disappoimtment war #0 naturally and truthfally ‘ayed. in action and ge: ture, that the audience could not resist the burst of a; plause which followed In the second act, where she as- sumes the guise of» fairy, nothing could equal her agili- ty. grace and faseinuting aspect. She seomed,as it were, to float upon the sir, and there was s lightness in each bound which seemed superhuman. Mr Bouxary gave eviderse of graat refinement tu the beautifalecsomplish- ment of dane id Miss Vallee, a¢ Queen of the Fai- ries, wesexcellent.

Bowery Tueatav.— Last evening, the grest and soul- atirring tragedy of ‘ Macbeth,” splendidly got upin ali its stage appointments, was performed in the most ablo manner at this theatre, before a large and fesbionablo audience. The part of Macheth was personated by Mr, ‘W. Marshall, who, in his acting last night in this cha- racter, not only cutdid himself, but fell little short of the best tragedians living. ‘Throughout the whole p'ece be was great in this character, and we can now only polnt out the scene previous to his murdering the king, when he fancies he sees a dagger in the air, and strug. gles with his coutclence against the dend,as being » most thrilling performance. Mr ©. W. Clarke also dia ample justice to the part of Macduff, and his expression of grief sud despair on learning the murder of his wife and children, wan a noble and most moving piece of act- } jug. Mra Jordan was exceilent as Lady Macbeth. and Mr J. H Hall, as Banquo, war very fine. At the fall of the curtain, Mr. Marhall was enthusiastically called out; and when be sppeared, he handsomely expressed bis acknowledgments, and retired amidst loud appiauss Macdoff, Mir. W.

This evening, a splendid Satur Gay night’s entertainment is offered. consisting of @ tra- gedy,s comedy, and a drama, each of the firat orde: Mr. Marshall appearing as Rolla in “'Pisarro,” and Mr Clarke as Dou Cassar de Bazan, in the popular drama of thet name.

There is, ws yet, no trace ot the murderer of young Reed, and it is now very doubtful whe- | ther he will ever be detected. The old adage, that ‘murder will out,” seems to be contradict- ed by the failure of the efforts made in this vici- | nity to briog to justice the authors of » majority of the homicides that have occurred during the past year in this vicinity. Two awful murde have in that time taken place in Camden county, and the guilty perpetrators have escaped eo far, though large rewards have been offered for thei capture. A young man by the name of Lewis Holmes has been brought down from Lancast: within the past week, the suspicion ot a police officer haviag been excited that he wos the mur- derer of Izry Roberts, whose desth, in Novem- ber last, on his road home trom our market, er ated such an intense excitement. H» has been thrown into jail in Camden, but there is not t) slightest proof of his participation in the murd or of his having any knowledge o1 it.
