From an actress ho had shown so much creative ability and lglnallty, much more was expected, it ity be added that It was supposed that this Imirable comedienne would, when she ap-iared as a star, select a voliiele on an ar-itic plane with hor best work. A numerous id critical audlenco accordingly attended Bijou Theatre last night.MISS YKAMANS AS THE PtTrPIT.In the third act tho barges como up tho river and tlie battle takes place with appropriate ovatlou and gunpowder accompaniments.in the fourth act the troops, summoned by O’Donnell's sweetheart, satisfactorily personated by Miss Lamar, arrive and tho curtain descends upon tho triumph of tho workingmen.Tho rather bald rush of events is given brief comic relief by tho marital dissensions of Tip and Maggie Barron.
