The plot is well known and need nof, tiere- fore, be described now. It is proper to say of te acting that Mr. Clarke as Bob: tyke quite exceeded himself in Lis part, having developed qualities not suspected even by his most ardent admirers.

A large audience of the true siandard of this house was present, The play is thoroughly enjoyable and rattles through from be- ginning toend with all the spirit, dash and carcloss jumor of the profession tt ulustrates. The plot is simple enougi. Victor de Courcy (Mr. Wyndham), a rich banker's son in Paris, in a fit of anger at the treatment which he received from his father, joins a segment of lancers a9 a private. The colonel (Mr, Fisher) is a Mariinet of the extremest kind, aad his sister (Miss Mestayer) ts a sort of dragoon in tticoats. The gentleman soldier meets a young elle (Miss Louisa Moore) in the dress of a it girl, and from a flirtation love results, le next meets her at her chateau at an evening party, to which he has ventured, despite the fact of his bel under arrest for some breach of discipline. At this party he contrives to provoke a quarrel with his own colonel, to whom he is personally unknown, and ts wounded in the inevitable duel. Next come discovery, court mar- ual and pardon through the generosity of the Colo- nel and the intercession of the aforesaid belle, and everything ends happily.

The drama, as produced and rendered at the French theatre, may be fairly said to be an _ improve- Ment upon its initiatory representation at Niblo’s. Mr. Fechter’s impersonation of the title réle has already been criticised in the columns of the HERALD, but, in fatrness to that gentleman, it must be said that he last night acted in a manner which left but little to be desired. The peculiaritics of pronunciation, enunciation and accentuation were, of course, strongly marked, and these were the only points which marred the beauty of the per- sonation. Mr. Fechter seemed more at home than when at Niblo’s, whether from his better knowledge of his audience or from the superior support given him by the company it 1s impossible to say. e peculiar wers of the actor to touch the sympathies of the house and the intense feeling thrown 1nto some parts of the play were fully appre. ciated by the ieee ae fashionable audience filling the th a iss Leclercq as the Queen was excel- lent throughout, and particularly that portion of the second act where she visits Ruy Blas and admits her love was given with more than usual dramatic power and etfect. Mr. J. R. Shewell as Don Salluste was excellent, and deserves congratulation for the thoi h mastery he displayed of this somewhat difficult character. Mr. J. F. Cathcart as Don Cesar and Mr. Bradley as cere or de Santa Claus were also worthy of notice, “Ruy Blas’’ will be re- peated to-night. NiB.o’s GARDEN.—The reconstructed “Mosquito” ‘was presented last evening before what is geuerally known a8 an overflowing house. The blood and thunder of the production have already been alluded to, and it only remains to state that the new version 18 o decided improvement. There was much less howling than before, while the scenery was very pretty and appropriate. Indeed, the popular opinion was decidedly in favor of the piece, judging at least from the fre- quent outbursts of approbation which greeted the efforts of the artists, Thompson was sprightly and entertaining, afforded as she was a wide berth forthe display of her versatile talents. After the first act the drama assumed quite a different phase from that which has heretofore characterized It—a much better and decidedly a. more effective one, Miss Thompson was very ably as- sisted throughout, and the “Mosquito,” — given with admirable surroundings, was very favorably received. How the little annoyance might be wei- comed im the dog days, however, is difficult to de- termine. Succeeding the “Mosquito” came the bur- lesque of “Sonnambala,” in which Mr. W. B. Ca- hill, Mr. Henry Beckett, Miss Eliza Wetherby, Miss Markham and others succeeded in awakening the Trigibilities of the audieace. The excellent appoint- ments contributed largely to the success of the en- tertainment, which met with apparent satisfaction, BowERY THEATRE.—Another new drama, entitled “Twenty Years Dead; or, Tne Twins of London,” by Charles Foster, was produced at this time honored establishment last night. The scenes are laid in London and in America, and the piece, which was pees, the stage under the direct supervision of Manager Clarke, developed the immense re- sources of the stage, for which this theatre is noted, Mme. Laurence’s troupe of artisis representing living pictures and groupings also formed an at- tractive feature in the evening's entertainment, The audience was large and enthusiastic. CENTRAL PARK QARDEN.—The reopening of this popular and fashionable place of amusement last evening was 4 brilliant success. Aselectand appre- clative assemblage—as many, indeed, as could be comfortably seated within its spacious music hall— here passed an evening of most exquisite enjoyment, listening to the well chosen and superbly per- ormed music of the admirably organized orchestra, under that unrivaled maestro, Theodore Thomas, The programme—which was divided into three resented a most preasing variety of the most refined and beautiful music. Such was the delight of the audience that at: the end of nearly every piece they Were clamorous for an encore. As regards the musical entertainment, it was only a magnificent fulfiment of the splendid promises of the past, a charming continuation of the most enjoy- able musical treats of last season, which attracted 80 many thousands of people here, and made this the most popular and pleasant place of summer resort in the oils ‘and which is also certain to keep up the same enlivening and exhilarating interest through the coming season. They have been far ahead of us in Europe in the ample facilities for musical recreation of this kind, The maguificent musical gardens of the Kursaais and Dresden are known the world over. Characteristic of our true Ameri- can genius, we are not only coming up to them, vut boldly t the lead. re is nowhere a more spacious, sumptuous and gorgeously ag mu sical garden than the Central Park Garden, as re- vivifled gnd refurnished under the tasteful direction of its new managers, Messrs. Jonn Koch & Brothers. So thorough and extensive have been the alterations that the hubitués of last season would hardly recog- nize the place. In the (iret place, the entrance hus been wholly changed, being now by a spacious and richly decorated corridor, so that the audience will not be disturbed by people coming and going away. ‘There has been an entire remodelling of the interior, and the wails and ceilings have been frescoed in the most exquisite style of modern art. Most admirabie ‘taste has been shown in laying out the garden. The dark alcoves have been removed, a broad promenade encircles it paved with a material which will not soli the dresses of promenaders; every part is open to the and air and eye, and all is gay with myriad ts fragrant fowers and the music of failing waters mingling with the deeper and richer melodies of the ‘ven added beauty and life to all.

On Sunday morning aman named Daniel Lake came to his death under rather singular circum- stances at Trenton, N. J. Being under the influence of liquor on Saturday night he stumbled in the street, and, falling, struck againat a piece of abrokem glass bottle, cutt the back of his hand and sever- ing an artery. Being hel up by a friend named Brown, they both led to the residence of Dr. Kodgers, bat on the way Lake became so exhausted from loss of blood that his friend had to convey him home in a wheelbarrow. At eleven o'clock the blood had ceased to dow, and Lake was put to bed, Brown and his wife sitting up with hin. Towards morning Mr. and Mrs. Brown fell asleep, and when they awoke Lake was dead.

Baker & Godwin, was critically examined by a large number of newspaper men. The model isin wax, and is decidedly one of the most admirabie represen- tations of Ben Franklin that have ever yet been designed. After a careful examination of the modet the only fault which an artistic eye could discover was in the right arm, which Iles too formal and straight to the body to look natural. This can be easily remedied, and then the critics will have ne fault to find with the design of the artist. ‘The inten- ton is to complete a statue of Franklin In bronze and resent 1t to the press and printers of New York.
