St. Charles Theatre. JXhis establishment wjy opened last night Upwards of ji thousand hands were there to welcome tho new actors.

The audience were in a good humor, arid performance went off well, all things considered-The acting was not good, but knowing the' difficulty rffamiliarizine a corps of strange actors, and taking into consideration the haste of getting up a perform-trce, we are not disposedjto blame or be severe. Mi Itanker will do she wants confidence, however. Mrs Conduit is a sweet actress she is already a favorite of ours. Mrs. Vincent should be more perfect; besides, she fidgets tonmnrh, and cn too many shines in her dancing to win applause.

Miss. Jones acts Iter jvirt well; howAver. like Wis? Flanker, seems a little frightened. Mr. Dougherty shouH be more- perfect, ami trv to enrrv himself with a little more ease.

That the reading room now fining up at the Hotel has been an interesting subject with the editor of the True American, is established by the fact, that his paper improves as it gets nearer its completion. Whenever a good thing is said in the True 'American, it shall he duly acknowledged through the columns of the Picayune, which will no doubt be received as a high compliment, as the wit of Picayune is only equalled by its influence ant frreatness a fact which seems to trouble the editor of the True American no little in these latter days.
