If Lent diminished the at- tendance of the halitués in any degree it was more than made up by the country merchants, who are flocking into the metropolis to make their semi-annual purchases. On Saturday last there was a multiplicity of entertainments, morning and evening, and all of them attracted very large audiences. The Opera matinée was attended by over four thousand persons, chiefly of the gentler sex. At the Eag™ lish theatres there haye been no new pieces, ‘The bills of Laura Keene’s theatre and Wallack’s remain unchanged. At the first named house tho present is an- Bounced as the last week of “Jeanie Deans,’ which has bad a remarkably profitable run of forty-two nights. I: ig understood that Mr. Bourcicault has a new picce ready to replace “Jeanie Deans,”’ and that the scene of the fresh work is laid in Ireland. At Wallack’s “Tho Romance of a Poor Young Man’? continues to atiract full houses. It will be acted every night this wock, and will probably retain its place in the bills for some time to come. The present is announced as the last week of Cooke’s Circus at Niblo’s Garden. The company, which has had an un; lonted metropolitan success, goes to Boston, opening at the Academy of Music there on next Monday. A new programme has been issued for the fare” ‘well performances of the troupe at Niblo’s. The manager of the Theatre Francais has made a lucky hit in the production of M. Feuillet’s “Roman d’un Jeuno Homme Pauvre,’” which is truthfully announced as the great success of the geason, It has been performed twice to full and very fashionable houses, and it is announced for repetition on to-morrow evening. Everybody who hag seen the Foglish version ‘at Wallack’s should go to the French play, and make comparisons which will be varied and curious for him- self, The distribution at the Frangais is a very good one. MM. Mannsteim, Bertrand acd Tallot are particularly good. Bertrand’s Bevallan is a capital piece of acting in a very diffcalt line. The mise en scene ia also very good. The only possible objection urged against the performance is that it is a little too loag—the fault of M. ‘Feuillet’s plays. Perhaps M. Mannafeim having already done ample justice to the author might find it to his advantan- tage to condense the dialogue of thie piece somewhat. At the German Stadt theatre on Wednesday a very effective 2ensation drama was played for the first time in America for the benefit of Mme. Steglich-Fucho. The play is entitied “Therese Kronels, or Mysteries Behind the Scones,’’ and the incidents are taken from the life of a ce- lebrated actress, the prime favorite of the Viennese public twenty-five years ago. The author, Mr. E. Haffver, takes for the motive of bis play a love aflair between the actress and her cousin, Leopold, an artist. Therese has taken to the stage in order to raise money to assist her artist cousin (who does not love her) im his stadies. Her first essays are made in a small pro- vincial town, where her acting is witnessed by Raymund, an antbor and actor of note, who at once perceiving her talent, engages her for one of the principal theatres of the metropolis of Austria, where for = long time sho | graced the boards in soubrette characters, to the delight of all who saw her. In the midst of her triumphs she did not forget her cousin. Still she had intrigues with others. Secretly she sends to him sums of money, and gives orders for his pictures, but he returns those pre- sents. Amongst her admirers is a gamblor, Count Sevre, from whom she obtains a large amount of money, in erder to enable her cousin to go to Italy for the benefit of his art. Leopold, imagining the money to come from the Count, calis at his house to return thanks, snd finds there Therese and some other guest in the act of holding s bacchanalian orgic. The festival is interrupted by the police, who arrest the Count on suspicion of having murdered Professor Pierre, to whom he lost a large sum in play. The Count is taken to prison, and Therese faints away at the moment Leopold throws the gifts at hor feet. The shock throws Therese into w severe fit of illness, from which she partially re- covers, but never regains her former health. At the theatre she performs one of her best parts, representing Youth, and then retires from the stage altogether to live 0g a prize which she drew in a lottery. Hearing that an execution for debt is out against Leopold, ahe disguises herself and, finding at his house a young girl to whom he 4s betrothed, exchanges secretly her lucky ticket for that of the fiancee of Leopold. The act is discovered by Leo- pold, who, touched with so much affection and with the consent of his betrothed, offers his heart and hand to the suffering actress, Therese refuses to accept the offer, and #0 ends the play, which was well performed throughout, and succeeded in maintaining the attention of the audience from the beginning to the end. The principal parte— ‘Therese, by Mrs. Steglich; Puchs and Raymund, by Mr. Tortuer, were excellently rendered. Mr. Lehman as Leopold, and Mr, Klein as tho actor Tomaselli, also played well. At the Opera one of the most interesting events of the ‘week was the farewell performance of Madamo Gazzi- niga, who sung on Friday in Sappho. No artist has ad- mirers more sincere or more devoted thaa Gazzaniga, and every one will wish to her the utmost meed of praise in her tour through the country. The loss to the metropolis © great gain for the provinces. Week, alter which the company will go to Pailadélphie aad Bakimore fur « month.

Signora Fabri has high reputation, and is already the topic © eager discussion’ in musical circles. We fear also tha Maretzek has engaged Mr. Gottechalk, the eminem, Pianist, whose return to New York we shall be giad to chronicle. ‘Mrs. Bateman’s new play, ‘“Evangelins,”’ has been finished, and is to be read at the Winter Garden. It is in proge, with occasional extracts from the poem by Mr. Longfellow, by which the play has been suggested. I* ig atated that‘‘Evapgelino”’ will be brought out at the ‘Winter Garden on the 19th of March, with Misa Kate Batoman as the heroine. The artistic triumphs of this young lady and her sister, Miss Ellen, as children, will be readily remembered by theatre goers. Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams have returned to town. Mr. Williams has been quite ill, but it is hoped that he ‘will have 60 far recovered as to be able to make hia rentreé at Niblo’s Garden on next Monday evening. At the Winter Garden Mrs, John Wood has beon playing to crowded and delighted audiences. It is not often that one Bees audiences 80 satisfactori'y entertained as by this excelient artist, As yet, Mrs. Wood bag not appegred in any new piece, the theatre having been nightly crowded to see “The Governor's Wife” and ‘Jenny Lind.” The imitations of the cojored opera in the former and the Italian in the latter are capital. These pieces will be re- peated tonight. The new burlesque of “Ivanhoo” is tn rebearsal. At the New Bowory, ‘Wi.com'{-ket,’’ an original tragedy written for Mr. Neafle by Mr. H. J. Conway, will be produced to-night. Mr. Neafle will play the principal part: an Indian chief of the Shenandoah valley, and tho play will be done wilh new scenery, effects, &c., kc. Mrs. Charies Howard, who will be remembered as a very clever comedienne and vocalist, will open the Broad- way Boudoir to night with a new version of the ‘‘Hidden Hand,” s popular tale by Mrs. Southworth. Mrs. How- ard and Mr. H. Watkins (who has dramatized the work) ‘will play the leading parts in the pleco. At Barnum’s Museum the ‘Octoroon’’ has reached its fourth week, and is still exceedingly attractive. It will be acted every afternoon and evening this week. At the Bowery theatre, Mr. George Jamison will com- mence an engagement to-night, playing Marc Antony in “ Julius Cesar,” supporte1 by Mr. Allen as Cassius, and Mr. R. Jobnston as Brutus. Mr. Gardiner Coyne will also appeer in “‘Rory O’More.” George Christy’s Minstrels have a new programme this evening, which will include the redoubtable George as Ginger Blue in “The Mummy.”’ The Bryants announce their usual variety, with a burlesque scene from “ Jack Cade.” ‘Tuearees Eisswiere.—At the Howard Athenoum, Boaton, Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams have concluded a ‘very succesaful engagement. At the Museum, Miss J. M. Davenport has been playing to full houses. At tho Now Orleans Varieties, ‘Our American Cousin,’ with Owsns and Sothern, has had a great run, and bas been succeed: ed by “Everybody's Friend.” At the St. Charles, Feb. 10, Mrs. Emma Waller played Jago.

Tho Montgomery, Ala, Advertiser endorses the company as follows:—'“A report having been circulated to the effect that this company contains several members who are hostile to our ‘peculiar institutions,’ we are requested to give it an unqualified contradiction.
