and that it was opened during the winter of '18-'19 for the first time. The first play we ever saw was in that house, in November, 1820. We recollect to this hour the effect it produced upon us, and we are simple enough to regret that we are no longer capable of feeling as we then felt. The play was Virginius. The principal character was sustained by Finn, whether the afterwards famous comedian and punster, who was lost at sea, we do not know. Mrs. Waring--one of the Placides — now Mrs. W. R. Blake, played Virginia, and an actor named Nichols played Icilius. It is difficult for us to realize, at this distance of time, the emotions of that evening. To us the Theatre was a gorgeous palace, the scenery superhuman, its movements the effect of magic. The actors were the grandest characters whom it was possible to conceive, and the actresses the most beautiful creatures on earth. The farce was "High Life Below Stairs," and Hilson played the part of the master who has been cheated by

In 1821, Booth came over and played in that theatre the first time he ever played in any theatre in America. "Old Diary" has undergone many vicissitudes since that time. It has had many managers, and we are afraid few of them made money. Some of the best players and the best vocalists ever known in the world have played and sung upon its boards.

The "Late Unfortunate" Theatre. --Our readers are already aware that the Theatre was burned to the ground on New Year's night. Its predecessor, which stood where the Monumental Church now stands, was burnt also, with great loss of life, on the night of the 26th December, 1811, fifty years and one week ago. We looked into Mr. Mordecai's book to find out when the late Theatre was built, but there is no record of it there. Our impression is that it was completed, at least, in the year 1818, and that it was opened during the winter of '18-'19 for the first time.
