    it a work of supererogation to descend to details . The new actor , Mr . Vezin , shows that he is possessed of considerable intelligence and delineative power in the higher sphere of the legitimate drama . The theatre has undergone a thoroug h , re-habilitation , and presents an aspect of comfortable elegance ; ' it was crowded in every part . The scenery is particularly good . Mr . Phelps was welcomed with a most cordial gi'eeting , and enthusiastically called before the curtain . Haymabket Theatbe . —Miss Florence Haydon made her first appearance at this house on Thursday * in " Naval Engagements , " but want of space precludes us from doing more this week than noticing the act . '¦'¦ ¦ . ¦¦

    Pbhtgess ' s Theatre . —The season which Mi * . A . Harris inaugurated and continued with such spirit and success at this house , came to a close on Saturday , when Mr . Anderson ' s benefit took place , that popular actor arid Miss Elsworthy appearing in . " Macbeth , " which was placed on the stage with all tliosse accessories of scenery and properties for which the Princess ' s Theatre has become so distinguished . Succeeding immediately to the Kean dynasty , Mr . . . A . Harris necessarily had the alternative of sustainin g the brilliant prestige that had been won by the application of no ordinary talent , enterprise , and judgment , or suffer all the humiliation which attaches to a practical anticlimax . " How not to do it " Was easy enough to bo shewn ; "how to do it" successfully , required tact , energy , and no inconsiderable outlay to elect the latter alternative

    of capital . Mr . A . Harris determined - he has done it , and has done it well . Mr . Phelps , the Zouaves , Mr . Anderson , Miss Elsworthy , not forgetting Miss Marie Harris , who made her debut as recorded at the time in these columns , are names which will be associated with some of the most conspicuous theatrical successes' of the past summer . M . Fechter , the celebrated French actor , whose appearance in the " Corsican Brothers , " " The Bachelor of Arts , " " Pauline , " and other favourite pieces before Parisian audiences was marked with such signal success , has been engaged for the Princess ' s , and when the house opens in October , will appear for the first time before the . . English public , and sustain the principal part m the drama of " Buy Bias . "

    Olympic Theatre . —Mr . Horace Wigan ' s new farce of " As Savage asaBear , " is to be produced at this house on Monday , with a firstrate cast and under circumstances of a highly attractive character . Strand Theatre . —This house , which during the past short " vacation " has undergone a thorough " renovation " in a style which displays . great elegance and taste , was re-opened on Monday with a new comedietta from the facile and practised pen of Mr . Charles Selby , who being a successful and > experienced , actor , as well as a versatile and prolific author , takes proper care that his pieces are not merely good in conception , but efficiently workable in all that relates to stage business . This , the last of his productions , is entitled , " The Pet Lamb / ' introduces the celebrated painter Tintoretto ( Mr . Parselle ) , who is represented as in love with Isadora Valone ( Missi E , . Button ) , who is upon the point of marriage with a bragging bully , one A . nibale Braza ( Mr . H . J * Turner ) . The " Pet Lamb , " Ignatius Innocent ,

    gan is a novice " at the convent hard by" ( andis personated by Miss Charlotte Saunders ) , and having been commissioned by the abbot to engage Tintoretto to paint a sacred p icture for the establishment , is subsequently commissioned by the painter to effect what we ; fear a modern English police , magistrate would consider the abduction of Isadora , and to bring her to his studio . The " Lamb , " however , falls in love with the young lady himself , declares his passion , proposes marriage , is accepted , cuts the noviciate , quits the convent , bullies the bully , tricks the tricky painter , enters the army , and is a married man and a soldier all in a jiffy . The p iece was well performed , the costumes ore good , and the whole inise en scene ( all details inclusive ) is excellent . The other-pieces given were Mr . Horace Wigan ' s comedietta , " Observation and Flirtation , " which was p roduced on these boards a short time sinc . e ; Miv Byron ' s burlesque of " Fra Diovolo , ' and the « Baoe for a Widow . " The house \ ms well filled by a highly gratified

    and applausive audience . New Adexphi Theatre ;—On Monday a new drama , in threo acts , by Mr . Dion Bouoicault , was brought out at this houao and formed an appropriate medium for introducing ' the author and Miss . Agnes Boberton ( now Mra . D . Bouoicault ) too , London audience for the first time Bince their seven years absence in tlte ITnited States ?} and the present piece is worthy of the axither of the highly-successful productions of " The Ooveican Brothers , " " Louis XL , " " Faust . ond Marguerite , ?• Janet Pride , " " London Assurance , " and " The WiUow Oppae . " It is entitled " The Colleen Bawn , " and purports to be founded on r Thoc Collegians , " ah Irish etory of Gerald G-riWn ' s ; but is quite as original as many a drama purporting to be an entirely new conception . Xhe plot is thie opposite of " slender , " but it is abundantly lucid and . intelligible . Mrs .. Cregan ( lyirs . Billington ) is a widow , whoso family estates are mortgaged to the hilfc , and to stave off ruin , she persuades v . «» onvi tTnvJvfia * iMv . ¦ Rinini » ton ^ to mar rv Jffiss Chute , tho " Colleen

    Buadh , " a rich heirbs . 8 , peraonated by Mies Woolgar ( Mrs . A Mellon ) , he being seoretly married to a poor peasant girl Mhj O Conner y tho "Colleen Bawn , " represented by Mrs . D . Bouoioault ( MJbs Agnes Roberton ) , whom ho visits nightly , crossing Lake ICillarny in a boat , his fpater-brothoi , onp Danny Man ( Mr . B . Falconer ) , b » mg the ferryman . His Mend , Kyrle JDali / ( Mr . D . Fisher ) , is in love with , and preform ! by Miss Chute ; and , Danny Man , who entertains a eprt of superstitious devotion for the house of Cregan , in ovdor to save its fortunes by bringing about tho marriage between Hardross and the heiresB , persuades the latter that it is Daly who crosses the l « teo to s °° mistress whom he has oonooaled in a cottage on the opposite shore , and afterwards proposes , first tip Hardross , who will not near of it , and afterwords to his mother , who approVea of it , to got tl > o " Colleen Bawn " out of the way , so as to leave no irapodunontto tho inatoh . Whatever may bo Mra . Qregan ' s meaning , Danny Man ' s eonatvuqtion of the terms amounts to nothing leas than , murder , and ho attempts to drown tho « Colleen flown " in a wateroave known as " TheT O'Donohuo ' fl Stabloe , " But a very important personage in the drama , M ^ les-na- Gopyalwi ( Mr , Bouoicault ) , a reT

    jeeted suitor of the " Bawn ' s , -whom unrequited love has driven to drinking , smuggling , and pdaebdng , and who conceals his whiskey in this cave , take 3 Danny for an otter , in the . dark , and shoots him just as he has thrown the girl into the water , and . afterwards , on discovering what has taken place , dives after and" rescues her . Danny , however , is carried on shore by the current , and makes a confession , which causes Hardress . Cregan to be arrested while his marriage with Miss Ghute is actually taking place . Upon this his mother , to save her son , discloses her share in the " making away " business , and is herself saved by the advent of the " Colleen Bawn , " alive and in good spirits , much to the satisfaction of Kyrle Daly and Miss Chute , who agree to join hands on the spot . There are a great many more characters in the piece , and they were all excellently represented . A new " personation piece , " called " She would be an Actress , " followed , in which Miss Agnes

    Roberton ( Mrs . D . Boucicault ) sustained a variety of characters with considerable versatility . The entertainment of the evening concluded with Mr . D > Fisher ' s comedietta of " Music hath charms , " in which the author appeared as Mrs . JPoppleion JPertinax . The scenery and stage effects in the " Colleen Bawn" are particularly deserving of commendatory notice , and reflect great credit on Messrs . Pitt , Thompson , Ireland , and Powell . The " diving and rescue " business is managed to perfection by Mr . D . Boucicault , whose gradual rising to the surface is reality itself . Nor ought we to omit the costumier ' s department , under Miss Bayner and Mr . Taylor . The music of the piece , including an appropriate overture , both in . composition , ai'rangement and | 3 erformance , is creditable alike to Mr . T . Baker ( the author ) , and to Mr . C . Hall , the musical director of the theatre . The principle performers were , called before the curtain after the second and third acts , and Miss "Woplgar was called for nomination after the latter . .

    Stjeee ? Thiatbe . —The autumn " campaign at this house , under the joint and able generalship of Messrs . Shepherd and Creswick , opens on Saturday , the 15 th . instant , under the most favourable conditions of success . Two new dramas , entitled " Ralph G-aston , or the Three Lives , " and " The A ^ eteran-and his Son , " will be produced on the occasion , supported by a powerful company . The " FassTiVAi , s . " —The " Thbee Chqies . "—The " magnitudinous voluminousness " of the reports of these proceedings , and the fact that they have been made the most of , prospectively and historically , by every daily , not to say weekly pfLper for weeks past , the season when the fruits of tbe earth are gathered in , being generally , a season of dearth in regard to news , and are thus familiar to everybody , conlines our notice this week to the statement that everything has been going off in the most satisfactory manner .

    Mr . Melxon ' s Concerts . —Tliere . is reason to infer that Mr . Mel-Ion ' s concerts , so successfully initiated at Floral Hall , will become a permanent " institution " in the musical arrangements of the metropolis : The following announcement was issued on the concluding .. night- of the season , on which the concert-giver ' s benefit took place : —" Mr . Alfred Mellon avails himself of , the opportunity which this occasion affords of expressing to his patrons , friendi , and the public his sincere thanks for the kind arid generous patronage with which he has been honoured inthis his first undertaking in London . The support he has received front all classes will be an incentive to increased exertions on his part to render his concerts worthy a continuance of their appreciation . In respectfully bidding the public farewell , Mr . Alfred Mellon trusts he will havo the happiness of meeting them again next year . "

    Madam : Tussaud 3 . — -In addition to a figure of the murderer youngman , a very curious relic of tho early days pf the French revolution has recently been placed in the museum of Baker-street gallery ^ It is the key of the celebrated Bastile , of which not a vestige now remains of the original building , but with the history of which everybody is conversant . This key is known to be genuine . It was taken from the governor by the insurrectionists almost -at tho moment of his death , a , nd has been preserve d with th . Q greatest cave bv the late possessor . It is not o « e of the , least of tha historic gems of this collection , A iigur ' e of Henry II , has also been -just added to tho series of nioaiarchs of the Iformari line , rnpdellod with great oare from monumental efligios mid miasal portraits , and painted glass of tho originnl .
