attentively, the cheers coming in at the stated periods, and the usual interruptions—good, bad and irdifforont—when

We learn from our exchanges that his jiresent exhibition surpasses all his former efforts, and hu will bring it here ir. its entirety, giving the programme as that which created such an excitement in New York. We copy the following from the Now York World: The performance was begun with the usual gorgeous procession in tinsel and purjile, and the strains of music, together with a great clattering and shrill screeching in ^he direction of the cages occupied by thu smaller animals icculled at that moment, with vivid force, thu classic
