Music Hall Last (Thursday) Evening.

The performance in the Music Hall last (Thursday) evening, given by the "Buffalo Bill" Combination, was deservedly received by the large audience present with every demonstration of satisfaction. The evening commenced with the farce of the "Widow's Victim," in which [?] Moriacchi as "Jame [?]," appeared to excellent advantage in the various characters she assumed, displaying more especially her skill as a [?] of a very high attainment. Thes. E. Graham, as "Jerry Clipp." was all that could be desired. "Life on the Border" gave a thorough insight of Western life, abounding in situations, in scenes of the wildest description, portrayed by characters of the toughest sort, the play never loses in interest from the beginning to the end, while the scenes in the table [?] at the conclusion of each act are remarkable vivid and exciting. William F. Cody, "Buffalo Bill," is a man of one appearance and his character enables him to display the peculiarities of his skill as a genuine frontiersman. His elocution is good, his manner's those of a gentleman, quiet, easy and dignified, having none of that braggart, swaggering style, so often mistaken for the genuine article. "Texas Jack," Mr. John Omahandro, is as handsome as a picture and graceful and easy as a fawn. Old "Sloat" had a capital representative in J. V. Arlington, and Graham gave another exhibition of his excellent powers as a comedian in the part of "Broadbrim," the Peace Commissioner. Mr. Irving, as "Grasshopper Jim," was even more natural than life; the other male characters, each doing very well, especially Mr. Harry Morland as "General Duncan,"- Miss Fay, as "Betty Mullany," was capital, her [?] Jig being very crediably done.- The Mmisses Forrester and Waiteas "Miss and Mrs. Reynold's," did all that was required.

We have no hesitation in recommending the "Buffalo Bill" Combination to the patronage of the people of Canada, as worthy of their support.
