One of the audience on leaving the theatre said he had seen better and he had seen worse, and that about expresses it. The style of the play was rather puerile, of the dime order, and the members of the troupe, though evidently not amateurs, were not in the front rank of the profession. Last evening Mattie Vickers and her company appeared in "Jacquine, of life behind the scenes." It is the story of a healthy and hoyendish young woman, (Jacquine,) who is tage struck and desires to become an actress, to the great distress of the manager and amusement of the audience. The next attractions are "The World" next Wednesday night, and Neil Burgess' "County Fair" on the 22nd and 23d inst. DEMOCRATIC CAUCAS.
