DRAMA.
The " Youth" -Dramatic Company have occupied Abbott's Opera House since the departure ,of Musgrave, Gardner, and Williamson's Opera Company. The drama from which the company takes its title hag had a fortnight's successful run. The piece has more the appearance of an illustrated story than a regularly evolved dramatic plot. It is certainly put on the stage "regardless of expense." The incidents presented are of the sensational type. But the stage is filled with troops, and affords the field for a regular battle illustrative of military operations in Afghanistan. The display of military drill is very effective. Ji very thing is according to "regulation" pattern. The audiences are enthusiastic in their applause. A new piece, entitled "The Lights o' London," by Sims, whioh has had a most successful run in London, will be produced for the first time this evening. It is a transcript of the lower life of London, full of emotional and sensationai effect, interspersed with drollery and telling situations. Like " Youtb," it is finely staged and appointed.
