' Last week we vlsltdd the new ball,ln PhlladdpUa, oconpled by Sanford's Mlnsbds. It is In Concert HaU Building, In Obesi- nut above Twelfth street, and was formerly, we believe, used, as a oarrtago repodtoiy. Bacently it bos been converted into a neat little hall, and was first occupied, a few weeks since, by thi Hutohinson Family. 'Since then Sanford's Minstrels havfr bad possosdon.. Tb» place is quite small, and wiU not accommodate more than five hundred persons, we should Judge. We do not believe the hsB will answsr for springer summer entertain' ~enta, being vaiy dose, and without necessary ventllatlan. It ay answer during the winter, for readings, or anything that lea not require - much stage room, for the stage Is very meagre^ and not at all sidtable f6r the many speotal acta connected with a minalrd entertainment Tha company itarforming with Mr. Sanford on the evening we attended, eonaisted of Hughes and Dougherty, as end people; Palmer, as interlodutor; Voddon, Ste- vens, Bayner, A'Becklit, and Master Banford. Mr. Sanford did not appear in .the first port Tbo^mpany, as then arranged, was not whit we expected to find associated with encb an expert eueed mlnstrd as Sam. Sanford;' The solo singing was 01^ me- dloora, bnt the chcruses wore, much tietter. Dougherty, on the end.

Asawhohk however, the company la not good, and their entertainmento are not cdculated to make an Impression. Business Is vert dnlL the attendance being extremely small on the oocadon of our vldt Tholosallonof the place ta splendid, bnt the hall Itself la not what we enepted to find it We have since nndentood that Mij. Sanford will puU up stahoa thla week, and ivaoate the place on the ITth. On the I9th he'will start out with his complAiy, re-or- ganised, we believe, fox an Eastern tonr, stopping at Newark, N. J., three nights, thence to Connectlcnt Bhooe Island, Mosso- ohusetts, and so on to Portland. Let Mr. B. gather around I'i'ii a good band, and he may do wall.

Mr.-SeverlUdownotprodnoe'a smooth or dear tone, and hta execution Is not of the beat Wa never besrd him before, and it may be that on this oocadon something may have ccaunad to throw him out In hla parfom^ anca. Mr. D. Edwards gave us a solo on tha Jewish dulclmw, and was deservedly applauded. E. F.
