Amusements.

--At Metropolitan Hall the public have been entertained with fresh novelties, and the patronage continues liberal. Miss Barteine is a good vocalist, and her ballads are received with immense applause. The burlesque circus on Monday night, was a queer compound of ground and lofty tumbling, and presented some "scenes in the ring," which were new and refreshing to most people.

"The Varieties" establishment rapidly wins its way in the favor of the public Mr. Dalton's recitation of Mrs. Norton's beautiful poem, "Bingen," Monday night, was a meritorious performance. M'lle Boisvert made her first appearance last evening, and sung La Marseillaise, in a style which at once established her reputation. Professor Barlow has some new local rhymes nearly every night, and is wont to keep the house "in a roar." There is much to commend in the performances at "The Varieties."
