After the fall of the curtain, scold collation was placed on the stage, and all the mechanics were invited to partake and drink health and success to Mr, Adam Galbraith, the head carpen- ter, from a splendid silver cup, presented to him by Mr. Niblo—as the worthy donor observed, ina neat speech, fos his integrity and industry. The cham paigne wentbriskly round. and many a joke was made ‘as to the quantity of gold Adam would bring back from California for which auriferous soil he is about to set out. A splendid supper was laid out in the saloon by Mr. N., where he met the whole Ravel femily,ende@ few celect friends, Kindness and good feeling prevailed. Altogether it wasan evening to remember, ia fine taste and formed a brilliant finish to one of the m)*t successful seasons on record. We shall anxiously look for the re-opening.

It is a favorite picce, and though some have called im question the good tendency of this and similer pieces, it always commands the admiration of pit and gallery, and draws down thunders of applause from the brave D’hoys. This evening theFour Musqueteers, or Ten Years after,’ will be represented, to conclude with “Jack Sheppard” again, whose wonderful feats “never tire,’ and whose romantic character almost makes erime, itself, heroic and amiable.
