AMITSEXENTS. "A N.Mort's DESTINY" has be 3 1 running during the week at the Chestn r• to admi rable houses, with the following cast: An gela, Miss Josephine Orton; Duebei4 d'Ossania, Miss°. Cappelle; Queen Isabella, Miss L. Cooper; Don d'Avila, F. Mordaunt; Don Carlo, G. H. Clarke; Marquis San Bris, A. Fisher; Don Fernandez, W. N. More land, The play is an adaptation of a work by Scribe, the French dramatist, written by Benjamin Woolf, Esq., of this city. It is full of sprightly incidents and interesting situa tions, and will bring the author lame and cash. We do not wish to spoil the pleasure of play-goers by detailing the plot, but would simply say that we, in common with the public generally, have been greatly delighted with the acting of Miss Orton, Mr. Mordant, Mr. Clarke and Miss Cooper. They have all exerted themselves to the utmost, and have made the drama a genuine success. It will be given thisevening; to-morrow evening and at the mAtinee on Saturday. THE "PROGRAMME."—It gives us pleasure to print the subjoined letter in reference to that sprightly sheet which figures at our places of amusement: "PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 9, 1865.—T0 H. B. Hellier—DEAß SIR: We, the managers of the Philadelphia Theatres, take this opportunity to express our perfect satisfaction with the perfect and punctual manner in which the Evening Pro gramme has been delivered to us, and in view of your arrangements requiring it, we agree to take the Evening Programme, as the Bill of the performance in use in our theatres for the coming year. Respectfully yours, Louisa Drew, Jos. D. Murphy, New Arch Street Theatre; Grover dz. - Sinn, New Chestnut Theatre: Thos. J. Hemphill, Wal nut Street Theatre." THE WALNITT.—During the week "Dom bey & Son" has been running at the Walnut. Mr. John Brougham's persona tion of Captain Cuttle, in this play, was conclusive evidence that his theatrical fame is based upon a strong foundation. To play characters which are decorated with the choicest language, sugar-coated phrases, .glittering figures and poetical ideas, is an easy task; but to seize an uncouth "character part" like Captain Cuttle, and to galvanize it into life and beauty, is an attainment of the highest dramatic power. The Prome thean fire of genius alone can accomplish it. Captain Cuttle's simple-minded admiration of his oracular friend, "Jack Buns by," his noble though peculiarassistance to Walter's uncle, his grief for the supposed loss, and his joy at the safe return of Walter, as well as the gentle kindness of his treatment 'to Florence, were naturally and touchingly portrayed. The more we laughed at him for his peculiarities, the more we loved him for his kindness of heart. Mr. Brougham's "get up" was perfect, even to a certain amount of carelessness, betrayed in his dress, resulting from his loss of a hand. Mr. Brougham was well supported. Miss Graham comes first by right of circum stances and talent. As Edith Dombey she had a very unsatisfactory part, but fre quently managed to strike fire from its dull surface. Miss Germon looked and acted to the life Dickens's curt, snappish, vixenish, but good-hearted Susan Nipper. Though perhaps the original was not half so pretty. Mr. Griffith and Mr. Chester played very well. Mr. Taylor had a very good concep tion of the character of Mr. Dombey, but was slightly too pokerish. Mr. Fawcett was, as he always is, painstaking, amusing, thorough and successful. Mr. Barron was very good as Walter.. This evening "Dom bey & Son" will be repeated, together with "The Good For Nothing." To-morrow, for his farewell benefit, Mr. Brougham appears in his great burlesque of "Pocahontas," and also in "The Serious Family," a play which is more than half his own. THAT GRACEFUL AND FINISHED actress, Madame Ponisi, has been delighting the patrons of Mrs. Drew's theatre during the week, with a series of really superb perso nations, and she has had the most capable support possible from the company. This evening she will enact the heroine of "The Lady of Lyons," being supported by Messrs. Mackay, Rankin, Marlowe, James, Wallis and Mrs. Thayer. The afterpiece will be "Turning the Tables," with Robson, Marlowe, Mrs. Henry and Mrs. Creese in the cast. To-morrow Madame Ponisi has her benefit. "Lost in London" is in reher sal for the holidays, and will be brought out at the Arch superbly. It has had an nnpar ailed success in New York, and will doubtless be equally popular in this city. "THE SLEEPING BEAUTY" Will be the great holiday attraction at the Chestnut. The preparations for its production are about complete, and when it is brought out we predict for it an enthusiastic reception from the public generally. THE CIRCUSES at National Hall and at the American Theatre are crowded nightly, and very dashing bills are given. SIGNOR BLITZ, at Assembly Buildings, introduces fresh and lively tricks, etc., each evening and on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. "PAB.A_DISE LOST," at Concert Hall,seems to have a perennial attraction. The very overflow of people who cannot get seats will fill almost any hall in the city. Its success is really a marvel. Facts and Fancies Parepa goes to Portland and Springfield, much to the dissatisfaction of other cities. - who want to hear her, but can't. Neverthe less, the troupe may be called, Parepa-tetic. So says the Boston Advertiser. We hear that Parepa-rations are being made to bring her to Philadelphia. The disposition that has been made of some of the rebel generals is curious and significant. General C. F. Anderson turned butcher at Atlanta and then auctioneer at Augusta. He began by cutting things np and then took to knocking them down. General Forrest acquired a considerable reputation for running, during the war, and now runs a saw-mill in Tennessee. en. Gardner, who surrendered his columns to Banks, at Port .Hudson, now heads a column in a ,country newspaper, as local _reporter. .A Southern Congressman who can take the oath is called a pro-test, and others are supposed to be bon-tests. The Diets say they won't stand much more -of the. Emperor Francis Joseph's nonsense. Sensible people change their diets, when they don't agree with them. A sailor almost died in New Orleans' rom swallowing a piece of glass in his pie. He had most unusual panes in his stomach. It cost Hecker $lOO,OOO to be a defeated candidate for Mayor of New York. Money doesn't always make the mayor go. King Leopold was called the richest and meanest man in Europe. To call such an 'one mean is two extreme. A bold rogue of Bangor snatched a pair of gold spectacles from the nose of a citizen, and made off with them. But the citizen was out of sight first. The Madeira wine crop will be double that of last year—about four thou Sand pipes. It is nearly as large as the Great Organ, in Boston. There is a French Episcopal Church in. New York, where the contributions are col lected by young ladies, and ill-natured peo ple call it the "pretty, waiter girl church.". This denunciation of a younglady for leaving her seat in church is based upon a distinction which we regard as simply pew-or-aisle: This is the shortest day in the year, which reminds us of a little conundrum. Why is a man whose horses are all out of the stable always in a great hurry? Because he has'nt z got ?am in it. THE DAILY EVENING BWILETIN : PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1865.---TI{IPLE SHEET.
