In ttie meantime,.the troupe win perform in New Tork, and perhaps in other cities. The hall qirmerly occupied by them in Boston, will shortly be opened as a vandeville theatre by Mrs. English.

Bom Sharpley's Uonstrels are rushing things in the Eastern States, and Bom Is- trying the efflcooy of printer's Ink with a lavish hand. His bills are now up in foiu different States, viz: In Maine, New Hampshire, Maseachuaetts, and Bhode Island, and he don't shirk the Eaatem newapapers either. In billing, he spreads twenty-three different kinds of bills, the cost for which, we are told, is tSOO per week. And the hest of It is; Bom finds the "ink" a profitable investment and so would "any other man.". Sharpley's Minstrels began the New Tear at Portland, Me., where they received calls which brought to tfioir treasury nearly $100. Of 'course, it was a holiday night but "that's no matter," for holiday money is as legltunate as our very popular greenbacks. They finished the week out at Portland, and Oils week start on the bac^ track, performing at Portsmouth, N. H., on the Sth and 6th; Manchester, 7th and 8th, Nashua, 9th, and LowelL Mass., on the. 10th. We might here take occasion to mention tho Itivor with which the name of Gen. McOlellon is received whenever mentioned by our minstrel friends. From Bnflalo to. Portland, even in the strongest abolition towns of Massachusetts, the merest aUnalon to Little Mac Is hailed with the greatest. enthxislaam. So in "Iron Olads," and may yon all have a "gay and happy" New Tear. We regret that our minstrel friends arc not doing a very good business in New Orleans.

Moderate business at the Academy. bow<ever, would be looked upon as large in many places, and the boys are doing about as well as they would do North; they will probably see the winter through at Mow Orleans. - When-they cloas thore, they will visit Cuba on their return homeward.

Morris Brothers, PeU and Trowbridge's Troupe ore drawing Immense houses in Boston, which is perfectly right considering that Artcmus Ward has said they were the best troupe he ever saw. A "New Torker" in Boston says:—The elegant pantomime entitled the "Magic Horn" is presented with scenei7, costumes, tridiB, and appointments, whloh would be creditable to the managers of any of our larger theatres. Mr. CarroU la the harlequin, and Mr. Queen the Columbhie, both of which charac- ters are rendered with much artlstio sUU. Billy Morris as OoUghtly the fop, is irresistibly amusing, but the clown of Lon Morris is something above the usual rendition of thatoharacter.
