ABBOTT'S OPERA HOUSE.
THE COURT MINSTRELS. There was a capital house last night to witness the performances of the Court Minstreln and Mr. Hegarty's Hibernictm comedy. The dreas circle was .well attended, and the stalls and pit were filled. There is nothing to be added to the notices which have been already given of the entertainment, ox'-ept perhaps that it improves nightly. The performers and the audience appear to grow better acquainted. The former have more complete assurance that their efforts to please ore successful, and the latter manifest a disposition t:> be pleased. The idea of "Court Miustrels" is a novel one, and ladies have not hitherto been associated with stage minstrelsey of which " corner men of colour" are the mo3t conspicuous figures. Its novelty contributes much to the success. Yesterday evening, as on the pievious eveniug, the laughter was incessant and the applause emphatic. The lightness of the entertainment makes it acceptable, and this rollicking fun of the comedy should satisfy the strongest craving for the ludicrous and grotesque.
