NEW YORK HEKALD, TUESDAY, OUTUBER 30, 1866.-TRIPLE SHEET. RISTOR Tho Queen of Tragedy in Bomon—Her Suc- censful Debut as Medea—A Revolution in cho Refined Circles of the “Huby”? &e. Boston, Oct. 29, 1866 The great event im Boston to-night, and the great dra- matic event here for years, has been the début of the famous tragédienne Ristori at the Boston theatre. No such commotion has been created in the really refined and aristocratic poputation—those who dwell im the stately mansions on Beacon streot, Commonwealth ave- \d the South End—for many years, It would be feeble tribute to her rare powers to say that Ade- laide Ristori has fully sustained the high reputation which had preceded her appearance, and that the many happy and brilliant anticipations of the criticising admirers of superior dramatic merit have been fully and most happily realized. ‘The Boston theatre has never, in its long career of nearly forty years, been visited by a more refined aod brilliant Company. Many days ago the best seats were secured, and those applying later were willing to pay @x+ orbitant premiums to enjoy the privileges which the more fortunate‘ ones had obtained. The private boxes and the best seats in the body of the house and the ba!- cony were filled, and the only few empty seats in the whole vast auditorium were the pooror ones in the upper galleries.
