BUFFALO BILL.

On Saturday night, Hon. Wm. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) the memory of whose exploits on the western frontier have so frequently thrilled the hearts of every American citizen, will appear at the Academy with a splendid company, and present a characteristic drama, in which he appears in the roles of an English fop, a detective, and a scout of the plains. The sale of seats began at Fowler's this morning and indicate a full house. A California paper speapks thus of Buffalo Bill:

Everybody knows Buffalo Bill, and every body in America worships the long-haired scout whose name is known on the plains from the Missouri to the Rio Grande. His escapes and bravery have given him a romantic attraction like that which Othello gained in the eyes of Desdemona when he recounted his tales of danger by flood and field. Tis not to be wondered at, then that the placard, "Standing room only," is displayed nightly in the vestibule of the California.
