On Saturday night, at nine o'clock, be- tween three and four thousand people had, notwithstanding the long distance from the central districts, and the threatening weather, assembled in the circus, and punctually to time, after an overture by the band, the performance commenced with Los Mosquetaires de la Reine, a spectacular exhibition in which the skill of ten trained horses was capitally displayed, the perfect manner in which they went through the various intricate évolutions, of what was an unusually attractive performance. de- servedly eliciting hearty applause. This spectacle was directed by Signor CutARIS and Miss NELLIE REID, in the style of ac- complished artistes. Mr. Tezer, a gym. nast of some celebrity, proved himself a master of the art of balancing, performing some very clever tricks on' an oscillating trapeze. The "educated zebra from Southern Africa" was introduced by Mr. Jose Romano, and showed itself to be a "timber-topper" of some ability, taking thehurdles, andfive barred gate like a prác- tiserl steeple-chaser. A comic equestrian scene, entitled the Three Nations," and introducing ideal representatives of Eng.. land, Ireland, and Scotland, was cleverly performed by Mr. F. Watson, whose humourous impersonation of Paddy, and fine trick-act riding as Rob Roy, received great applause.
