NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY NOVEMBER 24, 1868—TRIPLE SIEET. AMUSEMENTS. BROADWAY THEATRE.—The stage of tho dijow Broadway was last evening trodden by feet that never stepped unwelcome on its boards, Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams, than whom the American Stage boasts no more clever or more popular artists, made thelr rentree last night at this establishment in two of their side-splitting plays, entitled “The Fairy Circle” and “An Hour in Seville,” and were Tapturously received with round after round of ap- Plause from their enthusiastic auditors, The house was filled to repletion and actors and audience were in harmonious accord with one another, thereby imparting to the evening’s en- tertainment an agreeable pleasantness which 13 seldom attainable upon occasions of this nature, It is many months since Mr. and Mrs, Wil- Mams have appeared before the New York public to delight them with their vivacious and sparkling im- personations of Irish it life and laughable pro- tean comedies; but during their absence from us these old-time public favorites have lost none of that bright and oi histrionic fire which the: Biaynoere of ur metropolis. Sel o fore did an audience ind! in such unrestrained never before did ap) to advantage as marked their reappearance upon the boards last evening. Time has dealt gently with the rollicking Barney and his eatimable and their blythesome merriment is to-day just as vigorous and free irom strain- ing after false effects as it was years ago, when Mr. and Mrs, Williams were the rage of the whole town, when they held their large audiences enthralled with leasure and when they were the sole exponents of The Irish and Yankee characters upon the American stage. All controversy apart, Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liama are worthy of the warmest reception from the New York public whenever they return to please and ladden our hearts with their genial, -natured frees and to ik to our intellects with thelr care- ful and finished actmg. Both have world- wide reputations as artists, but it is mot this ne that should make in Ll seco g The one has only e! himself to all lovers of histrionic art Pe exceedingly clever impersonations of Irish racter, but also by his careful management and high-toned and judicious catering the ublic taste; while the othér has ingratiated herself ito the affections of all by her exemplary and irre- eee bearing as an actress and as a wor- y and estimable American wife and mother. Their acting, so far as New York is concerned, has now passed almost beyond the scope of criticism. Always welcome, always fresh and sparkling, aud ab greeted in a fond and hearty manner, they can ask for no more atte! recogni- tion of their talents from their fellow coun- trymen and citizens. As the plays presented last evening are familiar to the general public, it 1s but necessary here to add that both pteces off in the best possible manner, and that and Mrs. Williams were repeatedly called before the curtain and that the latter was several times fairly showered with bouquets, The excctlent regular stock compan; ofthe estabiishmens, including Messrs. Jack an Carden and Mrs, Skerrett, rendered efficient sapnor: the above named being several times rewarded with the plaudits of the audience for the careful rendition of their several rdles. Bowgry TuHearre.—‘Ned Scarlet, the Terror of | London,” is the title of a New drama produced at this theatre last evening to a large audience, in which the adventures of a desperate highwayman of delicate feelings, and all the virtues, ex- cept honesty, are set forth in a sertes of daring esce startling situations and thril- ling Neseruatenth The plot is of the simplest character, representing the hero as a bold gente- man of the road, whom the base enmity of fortune, in not endowing him with wealth, forces to become &@ robber, but whose high tone and honorable in- stincts render the necessity of sometimes killing those who oppose him exceedingly distasteful. By it the young idea is carefully taught to shoot ‘the myrmidons of the law’ us the vilest of oppressors, and glory over the dash and good fortune which preserves the sensitive thief from falling into their clutches. The principal characters were sustained by Whalley and Mrs. W. G. Jones, the others by lesser favorites—all with a vim and spirit that fre- quently brought down the house, The piece is billed as “‘the last London sensation.” Srapt THEATRE.—At this establishment ‘Mac- beth’? was given last evening, with Herr Herman Henrichs in the title réle. The version enacted by the company at this theatre is much fuller, and therefore much more satisfactory, than the English stage version, but the choruses of the witches are omitted. HerrHendrichs as Macbeth was at times very fine in both speech and action, but he often he- comes stagey in the extreme. ‘This latter fault, in- deed, seemed to be general with the com- pany. Mr. Hendrichs bes another marked and marring Tipe After his Prat 4 peer yl succeeding the murder scene, he conto: himself as if tie were endeavoring to draw his head and limbs into body—turtle fashion. ‘beth, is dese of mucl Sne might also with riety change her dress when she tease meen, Pine members of the company afforded Mr. Henarions very efficient support, and the setting and working of the piece was such as to re- Mect credit on the management and mechanics.

The PlanchettemLecture on This “Mysterious Hambug”—Its Tried Veracity—A Humorous Love Story. Steinway Hall was again crowded last evening with a very fashionable audience to listen to Mr. De Cordova’s third lecture, the last of the course for the season, on the “Planchette.”” It was less a lec ture on this little instrument, but more a very ha- morous description of every day occurrences of life with an occasional dose of Planchette wituly thrown in as an episode. The lecturer commenced by saying that everybody knew what planchette was, that it was a thing of a very melancholy form— & heart, smitten with severe trouble—for 16 was pierced through by the hardest of lead pencils; but yetit is happy, for it runs on wheels and tells you What others breathe and criticize, Many who were unbellevers at first now believe in its virtues, espe- cally weak old women and romantic young ones. Set the penci! on any piece of old music, place the tips of your fingers upon it and 1t will tell you the past, the present and the future. Young Popson was warned by Planchette that within @ month some- thing terrible would overwheim him; it turned ous to be true, for he—married. that squalls were in store for nim, and within tom days a little stranger was introduced into his family. Jovelles, a stockjobber, ome it and was told that Dies irae ia coming for 8 spin.’ He did not understand Latin, thought meant Erie, bought up the stock short at 36, was taken in, Ceeng convinced him that there is truth in this tt truths which no living man coulda have known or revealed, Gripsy was admonished who lived on the street, jobbers, “who toil not, neither do the; |, made money and “bursted.” These “mysterious humoug,” for it told hium ‘The lecturer then described in his best vetn of humor the family of the Stackpoles, the Jamuias in the grocery line; the malar — of about thirty and anxious to marry; Mr., and Miss Quinfeathers, and an old mat named Prall, three times crosved in love, in the company of all of which he consuited the Plan~ chette, and how it failed, as there was no “afinity’” between the persons, that it never works except when gentleman and lady, both being young, join in consulting it as to their innermost thoughis. Thea he asked questions, and he was not only startied but petrified at the correctness of the answers; how it spelled his own name as legibly as in a baptismal certificate; how it gave his age at twenty-six, so that everybody giggled; that it described his salient characteristic to be unaiding veracity, and that his excessive modesty ‘as his greatest failing; but the last answer dis- wi pelled all his doubts as to the supernatural qualities of Planchette, for, when asked of what he was them inking, It wrote out “Jenny Stackpole.” He thom described “Jenny” as a gurl with w frighifuliy bad temper, and felicitously described the house with ®& woman of bad temper in it a3 having tuo lot a cle mate and ceasing to be a home, Here began the main portion of the lecture, 1 being the love affair of Fred Gaskins with Mrs. Coon, @ poor young widow, having one son and living on the bounty of her relatives, and their exactions of the poor widow dependent on their charity as kins was a wag in bis way, an amateur viv! . om amateur in literature—heuce, very poor and seedy— having an old, miserly, but rich uncle. De Cordova then spoke of his own “bachelor household,” and gave a witty recital of an evening party with artists, an alderman, a councilman, a medical practitioner with no patients and a brietiess lawyer, and how they consulted Planchette and what truth- ful answers it gave of the secret practices of all these, the bribes the city oMcials took for their votes on municipal jobs, and the twaddie and nonsense poll- tictans talk during election times. ‘The love story be- tween Gaskins and Mra. Coon was again taken uj aud how an old rich miser, Knuckles, with a wicaod & bunion, prascees to the widow and was accepted on account of his money, while she professed true attachment to the youthful Gaskins, but who was too poor to support a wife. The Purim masquerade ball was Introduced, and how Mrs, Coon, coming with her aManced Knuckles in a black domino, quickly c it in the robing room for a pink one, and let the ofa man stand at the door all night waiting for her while she was enjoying herself in the mazes of the dance with Gaskins, and how De Cordova him- self, expecting her in a blue domino, was cheated of his pleasures for the night—all of which was capi- tally rendered and interspersed with many witty al- Juajons and anecdotes. At last the miserly old uncle died without a will, poor Gaskins is a rich man, again some weli timed reflections, clothed in wittl- cl3m, are introduced, which end in the discarding of old, gouty Kunckles by the widow and her marriage to Guskins, which is smmedianety followed by a cou- plete change of conduct of Mrs. Gaskins’ haughty and exacting relations, The lecture was weil re- ccived by the highly intelligent audience and oitem interrupted by loud applause.
