Mr. Lover gave another of his "Irish Evenings" at the

Hanover Square Rooms on Monday; choosing for the subject of his new entertainment Paddy by Land and at Sea. It is a melange of songs and stories, new and old; capitally told and agreeably sung. But, though the friends who listened and laughed might not find any deficiency of matter, and be well satisfied with Mr. Lover's attmetive manner, the public at large require something more substantial than the pleasantries that enliven an evening- party. If Mr. Lover were to confine himself to illustrating the national music of Ireland, and leave Irish wit and blunders to jest-books, we think his audience would be more numerous.
