BURTON'S TAEATRE—TH MORMONS” AND THB “HAPPY FAMILY.” ‘The new play, illustrative of Mormon life, which haa been brought out at Barton's theatre, has proved quite a hit, and promises to remain on the bills for some time come. Judged by the usual canons cf criticism, tho “Mormona’’ would pot stand very high as a specimen of dramatic art, but it has the merit of suiting the audience it wan written for, and it interests, excites and amuses in spite of ite incongruities and shortcomings.

Whatever stage attractions the facta may lack is amply made up by the lively and prophetic loaagura- ion of the author, The 4rss act introduces the conspi- rators io Fogland, arranging the'r plans, assisted by Mr. Thomas Alsop, who is represented as procuring tho manufacture of the grenader. The rcene where the con- spiratore swear ‘Death to the Emperor of the French,” was woll received.

The allusion, however, neemed to be considered somewhat tedious by the repub lican audience, for they became restlers and a litte noisy. The conclusion of the lecture was received with great applause, and Lola was called out twice. In a brief speech she returned thanks for the warm reception she bad met with, an‘ sanounced that at the request of sone friends she wes Sroparing a lecturo om the interosting subject of herself, which she would be ready to deliver in about a fortnight.

Tho success which has attonded the seonic introtuction of known localities of our city in the dramatic pertorm- ances in some of our leading theatres no doubt actusied the manegers of Christy and Wood's Minstrels in produc- ing their new entertainment entitled “The Sleigh Ride.’ There was a largo attendance last evening in Wood’s Build. ipgs, and the audience evinced @ due appreciation o the introductory parts of the performance. The ‘New Medly,”’ introducing some of our most popular and ad mired aire, was well received, and most creditably sung = the company.

Last evening, long prior to the com- mencement of the concert, the parquette was crowded, and the entertainments provided by the compavy seemed to give general gatisfaction to the audience. The instru mental overture by the compapy was musically rendered and the new song “Yoyah-ya,” by J. Bryant, with ap- propriate additions by “Bones,” was very warmly re ceived. The song by Dan Bryant, “Lovely Rosa,’’ was irresistible, and Mr. Bryant nominating Horace Greeley for the Presidential chair at the forthooming campaizo ‘was received by the audionco as the best jokeot the oren ing. The performances concluded with a holiday song apd dance, entitled “Down in Alabaina,” in which the company evinced the characteristics of the negro min- steel to perfection, “nimble on foot and quick at repar- (ee? The interlude of “Mohammed Pasha and Suite” provoked much laughter. The performances of Bryant's Minstre's are well worthy of a visit. The attendance last evening amounted to about ive bundred persons, the ma. jority ladies. CONCERTS AND OTHER AMUSEMENTS, Signor Bignerdi, who was lately a membgr of the Aca demy troupe, gave his farewell concert last evening at Niblo’s saloon, All the artists of the Opera sasixted, and the concert certainly merited a large mudience. Chere was s grand vocal array. Do Lagrange, D’Angri, Big nardi, Formes, Tiverimi, Laboretta, Ardavani, Rocco, with Abella and Albites as conductors, Yet the hall was pot hair tiled.

MRS. LESDERNIER’4 READINGS AND RECITATIONS. Mrs. Lesdernier made her frat appearance before a New York audience, since her return from California, inst evening in Hope Chapel. The entertainment which dhe gave consisted of readings and recitations from the works of severa) of tho most popular authors, including tho balcony scene from Shaakspere’s ‘Romeo and Jullet,’’ ex tracts from Longfellow’s ‘‘lijawatha, ’ Buters’ * Nothing to Wear,” and others, On making her appearance she was welcolmed by tho applause of the audience tha: had aesem ied in the Chapel to avail themselves of twe oppor- tunity of bearing her frat entertainments. She first gro. ceeded to recite the balcony scene In ‘Romeo and Julict,” and she did !t in a very clear tone of voice, which she va ried according to the incidents of the scene with much eilect. When reading from “Hiawatha” she would speak @t one time in manner of the quict, modest Indian girl, Minnehaba, and would seom to breath in her words at onos her gentlenees anxiety for \the return in safety of her lover; apd then, a6 the poem would vary, ahe would imi- tate the tome and gestures of the proud young Indian war- rior when beset with difficulties and misfortunes. Aho appeared to bea perfect mistress of the more grave por tions of ber ae. and ip these sho especially called forth the plaadite of her audience. She appeared in diffe Tent costumes, acording to the aul of each piece which she either read or recited, and as abe concladed each part of the entertainment abe was leudly appladed. Her voice ‘was very clear and musical, ber manner |, and her entertaipment wae altogether successful.
