Our expectations and the anticpations Of all
ourscitzers were most agreeabiy disappointed on
Wednesday night. The house which has been
fitted up by the g Thespians sail, appointments,
SC enes, fixtures, &c., far surpassed our SUPPOSE
tons; although we had been prepared to expect
much from the taste and industry of the young
men engaged in this Intellectual and laudabIe an
serprise.


But much were we surprised, entertained and
edited BY the performance. Every thing wen,
of we'll and happily; the parts were well learned,
well understood. and well played. VIM. TELL
was most admirably sustained by Mr.. Russell, to
whom should be accorded great credit for the able
manner IN which the play was traned all being un-
der his instruction. GEsLEs very woll acted by
Mr. =. u. r., who appeared that night for the first
time on any Stage-he understood his character
finely. Great praise is due to Mr.. w. H., in the
character of EMMA, the wifo of Tell, which he
adopted remarkably we'll. Master d. T., is enti-
tied to the highest encomium for the excellent
manner in which he played the interesting char.
acter of ALBERT. In short the, whole piece was
exceedingly well " done up p"-every member had
committed his part, understood it and delivered it
forcbIy. ~


The after piece Of "the Lottery Ticket ~ an.
swered its every purpose, the repeated applause
and great laughter Of the audience abundantly
testified. Mr.. H. w. B., presented " Nicholas
Capias y as we'll as any" Attorney at Law" could
have done thimsef in fact, B. staIked the boards
as though he had been familiar with them for
years, and mono, except the first named gentle
man, were ever before on the stage. a." Mrs. Cor
SET and !" Susan acted like d" live women. -
The remaining characters. a" Charles - by Mr.. S.
u. etc., were very well sustained.


1t is not our intention to give criticism on
the merits of the performances, but merely to as
sure our readers who did not attend, that if they
had they would have,lost nothing, and also to in.
form them that by special request the society
has consented to repeat the same pieces this eve.
ming. All are invited to attend, we believe they
will be richly compensated.


The "opening address," composed by Mr..
Scott for the occasion, was we'll delivered by Mr..
Russell, who showed tha, it possessed merit.


Finally the corps produced entire satisfaction by
their paying-and what can the best actors do
