THEATRIcAL-THE PARx.-There was q very
excellent house at the Park last night. The effect
Of the inclemency Of the weather was seen in q
slight degree in the boxes, which were not full
the previous night, but all the other parts of
the theatre were crowded to excess. The play was
Gisippus," one well adapted for the display of
Mr.. Anderson's powers, and in which he fully sus-
tanned his high reputation. On the fall of the cur
tain, he was loudly called for, and, on his appear.
ance, was cheered most enthusiastically, a garland
of flowers being also thrown him from one of the
private boxes. Tonight he again appears az
Claude Melnotte." We must accord 10 the
Park management due credit for the really admi-
rable manner in (which "Gisippus" was put spon
the stage. Several of the scenes elected the mark
ed appreciation of the house.

voted to the benefit Of the indefatigable Dnneford,
to whose enterprise is owing the production of the
classical and beautiful tragedy Of "Antigone," )" be-
fore New York audience; and, it is TO be hoped
that his energies on this occasion, as well as on
others of like nature, will be appreciated by the
public in proper manner. Already it is much to
be feared his energies have not been remunerated
for the expense and trouble he has been at in bring


ing out this piece, but it is TO be hoped that this
occasion handsome amends will be made for his
exerons on behalf Of the restoration of the classic
drama. This is also the last night Of the appear
ance of Mr.. q. Vandenhoff, ON which occasion he
displays the versatility of his powers to perfection
in two very opposite characters, assisted in like
manner by Miss Clarendon. What greater attrac-
ton is needed to draw bumper house9
