Tho chief dramatic interest of the hour centres (n the new play, by Mr. Dion Boucicault, which will be produced this evening at Wallack’s Thea- | tre, It is called “The Shaughraun,” and belongs to that class of romantic Irish drama which was originated by the same author in his celebrated | | i i 1 | | + occupied by Mr. Boncicauit in tho dramatic litera- | ture of this generation makes the appearance of any work from his pen a literary event of general iutereat to all theatre-goers, Since the appear- ance of lia frst work, some twirty years ago, this author claims to have produced up- wards of 400 plays. Nearly all of these obtained at least temporary popaiarity, whtie 8 large number have retained possession ol the stage even to the present day. Some idea of the value of the work done by Mr, Bouci- cawt may be formed from the following lst of plays which have survived tueir frst popatarity and may be looked upon as the standard works of } the contemporary stage. Some of them, ike “London Assurance,” which j thecmodern drama, and tue “Colleen Bawn,?? | which led the way to the Irish romantic drama, of | which the play to be produced to-night te buta continuation, will tive as long as the Eng'igsh lan- | guage endures:—"The Colleen Bawn," “‘Arrab-na- Pogue,” “Kerry,” “Daddy O'Dowd," “The Irish Heiress,” “London Agsurance," “Rip Van | Winkle,” “Ola Heads and Young Aearts,” “The | Octoroon,"? ‘Lost at Sea,"? “Jeante Deans,” “Jessie | Brown,” “Formosa,” “The Corsican Brothers,’ ; “Banted Down,” ‘After Dark," “Belphogor,’! “Janet Pride,” “Don Oesar de Bazan,” “Used Up,” “Vanity Fair,” “Flying Scna,” “Babil ana Bijou," “Elfie," | Knight of Arva,” “The Long Striko," “The Willow | Copse,”” “Louls X1.," “Streots of New York," | worthy oi remark that many of Mr. Boucicault's | most successful plays have been written in Amer- j ica, He first visited this comma. remained until 1860.

A police agent, of the name of Talbot, went to the Soutn of Ireiand-tn disguise. He ingratiatead him: selt with the peasantry and played the part of a | Fenian emissary.
