[from] The Theatres.

  The CHESNUT was employed with Mrs. and Mr. W. J. Florence, and "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Neither drew well. . . . To-morrow evening, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will be performed. Miss Gertrude Dawes will also appear in a dancing interlude.

  . . . "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" AT THE ASSEMBLY BUILDINGS, corner of Tenth and CHESNUT streets.—Mr. S. E. Harris, late of the NATIONAL Theatre, has leased the above convenient establishment for the purpose of continuing the representation of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The place has been fitted up for dramatic display, and scenery specially prepared. The play will be presented with the same cast as when played at the NATIONAL. This is a new move, but it will doubtless be successful. Wednesday night next will be the opening night.

[From] Musical.

  SANFORD'S OPERA HOUSE, South Twelfth, below CHESNUT street.—We are glad to note the continued success of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." It draws beyond all former precedent, and it is irresistibly funny as it is performed by Sanford. The contrast between Mrs. Stowe's "Uncle Tom" and Sanford's "Uncle Tom" is quite perceptible. There is an immense deal of fun in this little piece. No wonder that it is popular. The miscellaneous concerts are as interesting as ever.
