Tbe company en-' gaged at this theatre is caned the "Troupe St. Denis," and they are composed of several faUonted artists, especially in panto- mime, among whom we could noQie Mons.

Including a donee, by Miss Pen- noyer; Tablssuz Statoesqne, by Prof. Donctd and his son; a buffs scene from a popular epera, capitally rendered by Mons Montenari; a truly capital rope danoiog act, by "La Belle Boslla"—a beantlfal andgracenil woman of splendid-form; an extremely comical duet on two violins by Messrs. Auguste and Oaion, and finally some extraordinary pfaying on tbe violin by Mons, Mnller, the entertainment oloelng with a veir good render- ing of one the Bavel family paBtomimes. The whole perform- anncs throngbcnt were amusing and Interesting, and one as wor- thy of tbe patronage ef tbe amusement seeking-public as any given in the-eame place for the past year or two. We saw none of tbe vulgarity Intimated in tbe dallies, or Indeed anything that the most futldionscould notwltnaaswithout ablush; and in this respect the performancea were as snpMor to the Oubas de- monstration tbatbrought forth such a crowd of the moral Brock- lynltes, as could weB-be. Tbe brevir^ of Mrs. English's season wlU of course prevent the Introduction of any great improve- ments, and therefore Auggeatlons. to that effect would not be neocasory: suffloe it to say that tbe entertainment she offers is well worthy of patronage as it la.

See advertfsemant IHd yen ever hear of many Amerioan prima donnas succeed- ing where they were surrounded by foreign singers, as In an Italian opera troupe/ We have repeatedly obeerved, that when an Amenoan lady is entrusted with a leading part in an Italian opera, she is snre to meet with some show of opposition from the "foreigners"—the tenor la indisposed, tbe basso is out of gear, tho contralto ia hoarse, or something of that sort Bolt was on Monday evening. May 11, when Miss Parker, from Oall- fomia, made her first appearance at the Academy of Music, in tbe "Trovstore." The opera Hub a drag flrom beginning to end, none of tbe "foreigners" appearing in their true fonoi and one or two of them elnglng as though they were sbout to "strike for higher wages." It is tme that Hiss Parker ftllsd to create any enthnslaam;beretagebualaesa being sadly deficient, and her voice wanting calibre to enable her to move along successfully with the robust "Ontob Italians" by whom she waa surronnded; ' .TSkt's'a 6ood Idea aald to have been adopted; by a Lod^ .sbownian, and if we must have reserved scats, managers in these parts might make the new wrinkle profitable. Ble plan la ibis:—Instead of charging mora than the usual price for reserved seals, taken l>eforoband, be charges tat, becausslf any one takes tbe tnubis t« come befonband for his place, he ought to bo compensated for that trouble. He' ought (o enjoy some ad- vanlageover those who come late, and the beat form in whiob to put that advantage is to let him have his place at a lower rate.

It la announced as bis last eU' gsgement and fiirewell of tbe-etoge. The babies had possession of Bamum's Hnssnm, lostireek, ;and attracted a large number of admirers of infantile animated natore. Then were red bablea and white babies, cross babies .and blessed babies, "mother's littio dears," and "papa'a dar- lings;" but the babloa were not alone the attraction; there were some comely locking mothers present, whose domssUo attentions to their offapriog afforded food to the little ones as well OS to the gentlemen present who went to "see.the whole show.". Wo dp not like to make unfavorable •comparisons, but we cannot help saying that the dogs won better behaved, as a gonarel thing, than the babies; soms of the bitter kept up snch an unearthly yelling as to deter many young ooupie present :from entering into that connubial felicity, of which they bad heard so much, audio which the predbaa babes are supposed to contribute eo largely. The dogs wen notsy. but the babies were ten timee worse. They tiave now relumed to tbe l>osoms of their rcapcotlve families. Boucloanlt's drama of'^Panvrette" is 00 for this week.

On Tuesday and Friday, May { and 6, "Aurora Floyd" waa produced at the Brooklyn Academy, under tbe auspices of the author of tbe drama, Mr. Obas, Gaylor. Unluckily for bis enter- prise, the week proved to' be one of the most stormy and un- pleasant ones of tbe month, and consequently the attendance was not as good as it otherwise would have been. On Taesdsy night, it roloedto torrents, but nevertheless then were quite a number present' and eventhtott paased off as wdl as if the bouse had been orowded, the .
