—_— RISTORI ¥br Third Night in the Ameri- can Metropolis. SPLENDID OVATION, ANOTHER , ‘h Queen of Tragedy as the Queen of Scots, 4N AUDINNCH IN THARS. &c. &c. Ristori, the Queen of Tragedy, appeared for the third ‘time at the French theatre last evening, as Mary, Queen of Scots, in Sehitler's tragedy, Mary Stuart, translated into Italian verse by Andre Maffii, Her success was quite as decided asin the classic tragedy, Medea, The audience was even larger tlaa those which assisted at Ber two previous performances. ‘ But, although larger, the audience was in some re- @pects very different. Tho fashionables last evening re almost exclusively located in the private boxes instead of pervading the entire theatre. “The dress circle and parquet were filicd with a class of people who do not care to be considered fashionable, and aro for that very reason boiter representatives of New York ‘and of America, Thanks to the hints of the Herat, they were nearly ailin fuli diess, or, rather, they were dressed in their very best attire; but they applauded heartily, without any care for their gloves, and, not having been trained to repros all expression beneath a mask of fashionable indifference, they were not ashamed to give vent to the emotions with which the greatest ‘actress of the age inspired thom. The other two audi- ences bad engayed their sevis in advance of Ristori’s début, and we might ascribe (heir presence to the fame which had preceded her; but the audience of last even- ing came from the poople, and was attracted by tho ‘wonderful power of her representations of Medea, We Fogard it, therefore, as a greater tribute to ber gents, aud a better proof ot Ler pupularity with the masses of ‘our citizens, i In still another point of view Iast night's audience was unique. The majority of tue ladies and gentlemen who composed it did net understand Italian, and did not pre- tend to do so, With siple conscientiousness they pur- ‘chased books of the play, brought them to the theatre and followed the tragedy with ecrapulous fidelity from first to last, Almost every other person in the parquet had Sne of these books, sod during some of the long Speeches the noise of turning the leaves was like that of the wind in a forest. Indeed, it ws ox- tremely amusing to ece dozens of couples divid- ing the books and ¢ between oe with charming the ladies consnlling the former Fie? [he gentlemen consulted ‘the latter, and then effecting an exchange when reading or gaz ng grew wearisome, tween the acts, too, the majority of the audience were buaily studying up forthe ext scene, bending to ‘heir work like eager students, ‘We have no fault to fad with this at present, but we sincerely hope that it will not be repeated, “The ladies aad gentlemen did pot consider how annoying it was to ‘the actors to see the audience apparently engaged in tveading, instead of fullowing the performance, and forget- ‘ting to applaud in ‘heir anxiety to keep tho right place. Risiori was anvove: ies than (he members of the com- wany, however, for when whe was on the stage it was dmpossibie vo do au; bt else be! look at bor and tisten to her, Let us sugges to the public that by purchasing and perusing books of the play « day or two beforehand “they will enjoy the performan-e doubly and will spare othe performers much annoyan Turning from the andienee—whom it was necessary to describe in order that Ristori's power over them might ‘be better appreciated—iat us brietly sketch the tragedy In which the Queen of Tragedy appeared, Based upon istorical facts, with wir | oar readers are acquainted, it is very neatly aud cllectively constructed. Its two prominent faults are;—First, the very long speeches in- trusted to minor characters, which isa fault common to all German playa; second, the division of the acts be- ‘tween the two rival queens, so that during half the ‘tragedy we ace nothing of Queen Mary, In the first act we find Mary in privon, divested of every attribute of royalty and awaiting the decision of her judges. In Mortimer, the nephew of her jailor, she unexpectedly finds a friend who tas organized a conspiracy to liberate her, and by him she sends her portrait and & letter to Leicester to engage bim in hor cause, ‘The second act showa us Queen Elizabeth in council ‘upon Mary's fate Cect! argues that she should be oxe- outed; Talbot pleads for mercy; Leicester counsels delay. Mortimer appears, and in a brief interview wi-h ‘him, Elizabeth induces lim to promise te astassinate her sistor. He thon has an interview with Leicester, delivers Mary's letter and en reats the Earl to join the con- ‘piracy. In tho third act, Elizabeth and Mary have a most exciting encounter, endimg in mutaal Tage. The fourth wot is devoted to the death of Morti- mer, who commits suicide upon discovering that his plot bas been frustrated, and that Leicester is determined to denounce him. By ingenious deceit, Leicester uses the -death of Mortimer as an argument to convince Etizabeth of his loyalty, whit had been doubted on account of the seizure of Mary's letter to him. He is thereupon ordered to superincend the exevation of the unhappy Stuart. In the fifth act, Mary bids farewell to her friends and servants, confesses her sins, and, with a final rebuke to Leicester for his perfidy passes solemnly to the soaf- fold The tragedy close) with a striking tableao, in which Mary leads the mocrnful procession to her own funorai, while the scadtsuan, leaning upon bis axe, ‘waits for her withow'. Ie will bo seen from thie rvpid synopsis of the plot what admirable oppor:an'tio are afforded Ristor! for the display of ber best powe. The accessories which make every point effoetive wore nol vaneng. The seenery was very good, although il expablo of improvement, and the costumes wore rich, || ful, picturesque and histor! Cally accurate, The stays wae better managed than in Medea, althouch in tro theiances inet evening the proma- ture fail of the curtain injured the climax of the acts, All of the artistes worcexcellont. It te not fair, although it is very natoral, © Cvapare them with Ristori, who fs herwif incem;aruble; but if we Imagine for a mMomont how suct: parts as Cecil and Mortimer would be Performed by thos wtory whe are eugaged to support American altars, we must concede to tue Italian troupe an undeniable sapeviorty.

Her de- moaper was so natural phat if wag almost impos- sible to believe that the woman before us was not the reul Mary, in prison and about to die. The third act, howover, developed her geuius more grandly, With what eager delight she rushed upon tho stage, rojoicing ig the comparative freedom of the open park, It was astonishing to watch wvery face in the audionce light up with pleasure as she expressed her joy, When Elizabeth appeared every look, every gesture of Ristori waa a study for the artist and tho critic. Her endoavers to school herself to a politic humil- ity; her pride straggling with her fears and wrenching her up from her knees as she stooped before her sister; the mute prayers for pationce to en- dure Elizabeth's cruel taunts; the womanly scheme by which she koelt to Heaven, but at her sister's elde— each attitnds a picture, each phase of emotion accu- rately rendered! Then the fearful reaction when Elizabeth's sneer, that she had won her reputation as a beauty easily, and that she must have been called the belle of the universe becauso she distributed her favors #0 universally, roused her to fury, instant, overwhelming and ungovernable, and culminating in that scorching retort that the throne of England waa Profaned by a bastard, and that Elizabeth's place was at Queen Mary's feet! This was sublime. The audicuee, startled out of all self possession, would not wait for the close of the act, but burst iato a storm of bravas and applause, and Ristori was thrice recalled to receive the homage of her admirers. How amazing the contrast when, in the last act, wo 8e¢ Queen Mary prepare to die. No passionate invectives now, but tearful farewells to her faithful friends and humble confession and penitence for her sins, The Queen is merged inthe woman. Only for an instant doos the old tife stir within her when Leicester appeaus and she falls famting in his arms, uttering that withering sarcasm that he had = kept his word, for be had said that his arm should lead her from her prison, An instant, and we see her rash- ing from Liecester to the priest and clinging to the cra- cifx as if to find protection against all such unseemly thoughta, She turns, the sad procexsion of weeping at tendants is formed, tho headsman and the guards stand grimly without, and to the dull music of muffled drums she passes from the stage. There ts not a dry eye in the house. The whole audience is in tears, The intense realism of the scene cannot be exaggerated. Women turn pale and sit with bated breath, Men stare fixediy at the fall- ing curtain with bedimmed sight. Then = ex- ciamations of wonder, of pity, of delight are heard, and then thunders of applause shake the house and re- call Ristori ta the footlights, A alogle sinall bouquet, thrown by some friendly hand, falls gently at her feet, It seems too poor a tribute; bat it had more meaning than the dozens of immense bouquets usually hurled at artistes by man- agerial supernumeraries, so well did it accord with the spirit of the seeno that had just closed, Tht little nos*gay geemed to have been dropped upon a grave. Never haye we beheld theatrical art that so resembled na- ture and that impressed so strongly an audience entirely impartial and extremely miscellaneous, Ignorant of the language in which she epoke, and unable from the tra lation before them to catch the niceties of her empl: or appreciate the surpassing beauty of her readings, they comprehended fully the ideas «he wished to con- vey, and felt every shado of sentiment flashed electric- ally from ber heart to theirs, MADAME RISTOR!'S VISIT TO THE STRAMBHIP TERRIER, On Saturday last, Madame Ristori paid a farewell visit to Captain Duchesne of the steamer Peroise, just previous to the ealling of the vessel for Europe. #he waa received by the passengers and orew of the veesel with enthust astic cheering; and on board she with her attendants [partook of a collation, prepared for the occasion by Captain Duchesne. PROPOSED VISIT TO JEKOME PARK. Madamo Ristori has accepied an invitation to attend the Jerome Park races today, and Mr. Jerome has Placed at her disposal for the day an elegant new equi- page drawn by four horses, RISTORT AND ‘TIE FUNARE FAMILY, Wherever Ristori, the great tragedienne, bas a history, we find her as much loved for her benevolence aa ad- mired for ber genius, Upon hearing of the unfortunate affair that occurred on Eim street last Saturday, in which one of her countrymen, the artist Funari, fell by the hands of another, leaving a dependent family helpless ‘and without a protector, her benevolent impulses were immodiately awakened to act on their behalf, Ristori donated one bundred dollars to the widow for the present relief of her family, end proposes at some early period during ler engagement in this city to give a performance for their benefit, It will be remembered that the difflonliy between Fanari and his murderer, which resulted in so sad # man grew out of matters in connection with a bust of Ristori that was in the progress of completion at Funart'« eviublehment. Urania, the murderer and enic.de, was a single man, and of course leaves no family. AMUSE MENTS. Every seat at the Broadway theatre wae occupied fast evening by a fashionalje and highly critical audience, which had assembled to witness tho representation ef the Merry Wes of Windsor, Mr. Hackett, as Sir Join Falstaff, exceeded all of his previous efforts in the o! actor, and the hearty laughter and loud applause attested the appreciation of the audience, Mr. Nagle, an Fi the jealous husband, was excellent, and Mr. Dan Symons, aa Dr. Caius, represented the Frenchman to perfection. Mr. Stoddart made a very good Slen- der, but the humor of bis character is pot appre- ciated in the provent age, Mre. Stoddart, as Mra Page, was all that Shakspere intended. We cannot say as much for Mra. Ford, aa represented by Mixw Alice Gray. This lady would make ay excellent actress did sbe not overnct her part.

The hero, like all Miss Braddon’s heroes, is a Most sangu inary murderer, and the heroine is, of course, @ wardeross and bigamist, Tne plot of the play was, briofly, thus:—Jabez North (Mr. John Davia) commits a murder in England and flies to Paris, where he assumes the title of Count de Marolles, and begins the life of a fashionable adventurer, He discovers the secret mai riage between “the richest woman in France,’’ Valeria de Cevennes (Mrs, F. B, Conway), and an operatic tenor, Gaston de Lancy (Mr. Styles) 80 arouses tho jeatousy of the lady that she murders her husband with poison, far- nished by a@ivarned chemist, Bluvosset (Mr. F. B, Con- way), and then uses the power he thus acquires to force the wealthy murderess to marry him. But through the adroiiness of a dumb detective, Veters (Mr. Eberle), his dfaguise is discovered, and he rrested for the murder in England, He escapes from the police, however, only to be caught again, while trving to leave for America, boxed up in a coffin, Madame de Cevennes, in the meantime, has ber operatic Qusbund restored to her, | throngh the agency of the learned chemist, who has secretly brought him to life with an antidote. Nothing is left but for the principal villain to poison himself, which he accordingly does, and the happy and reunited couple embark timmediately for New York in the steamer City of Washington, amia the great applause of the audience, AM the parts were well played, aud thee? was @ pleasing absonce of the usual first might waits, Mrs Conway, as the heroine, played with ber usual conscientiousnoss, str, Conway, In an eecentne charact ax excellont; and praise must be awarded to Mir the detective, and Mr, i fanay ‘business #8 an offset to th . from ite manifold ause frequent quite en- gloom whic crimes, The and the pro couraging.
