"The Red Right Hand."

This stirring play was presented last evening at the Theatre to a fine audience by the Buffalo Bill Combination, and was recieved with the most unbounded enthusiasm, from the gallery ecpecially.

It abounds in startling situations, during encounters and exciting escapes, and withal is lightened by a vien of general humor in the introduction of an Irishman and Chinaman. Mrs. Jones, who personated "Grace," gave additional evidence of her histrionic talent, whilst Miss Dernier made a most charming and dashing Princess. "Vincent Vernon, the Red Right Hand," was acted with spirit by Mr. Mainhall, and of course Buffalo Bill, the Chief of the Scouts, was natural in the hands of the "original." The closing scene, showing an illuminated life-size portrait of Custer overlooking the sanguinary field of the bttle with Yellow Hand and his tribe was very offective tableau.

The riffle used by Buffalo Bill inthis piece was of the celebrated. Winchester make, from their immense factory in New Haven, Conn., the largest firearms manufactory in the world, and we are informed by Mr. Cody that in their different establishments they employ over five thousand men constantly. This improved rifle has no superior for quality of composition, workmanship, finish and accuracy in distance carrying. Mr. Cody uses it on the plains as well as on the stage, and when he escorted the Duke Alexis and his party on their great buffalo hunt, the entire party was supplied with this rifle, and killed more Western game than any other like expedition. Mr. Cody claims that he has never yet missed his object when using this gun, and on his dramatic tour last season shot the objects from a lady's head with it for over ten months, which testifies to his great confidence in it.
