PARISIAN THEATRICALS.

A new ballet by M. Theophile Gautier was brought out on Wednesday last at the Academic, with Mademoiselle Cerito (now called Cerrito, with two rrs) in the principal part. The plot turns on mesmerism, though the period at which the action occurs is older than the days of Mesmer himself. The fact that the heroine, while under the magnetic influence is enamoured of the man whom she abhors when the influence is passed; points to M. Dumas's novel Les HeMoires d'un Nedsein. The title of the ballet is Germs.
