At the French Plays, Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme was performed on

Wednesday ; Cannosv personating M. Jourdain with great ability, we are told, and can well believe it : his experience at the Theatre Francais, added to his known talent, qualify him to fill this part, for which his style and person are better suited than PERLET'S ; and if Cattermint's personation were less highly wrought than that finished comedian's, it must have been very far superior to LAPORTE'S buffoonery in the same character. Madame ALBERT'S performance of the parvenue in Une Dame de r Empire seems to have been most effective. Next week is the last of this clever actress's engagement she will be succeeded by Mademoiselle PLESSY.
