GRAND OPERA HOUSE. -Mr. Gus Williams has had a good time, and plenty of it, with his John Mishler and "One of the Finest." But as all good things as well as things dramatic and otherwise must have an end, last evening brought him to the "hour of parting." The parting was made exceedingly "sweet sorrow" by the presence of a large audience, and evident symptoms of a general enjoyment of the performance.

To-morrow evening Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Florence will claim attention, and occupy the stage with the old familiar "lay of other days" known to the public and "the rest of mankind" as "The Ticket-of-Leave Man."

Mr. Abbey announces a series of "musical matinees," which will be given each week, commencing next Wednesday, an arrangement having been effected with General McCaull, of the Bijou headquarters, who furnishes his entire company, scenery, orchestra and costumes for the presentation of the repertoire of his company, and the successes of each week at the Bijou. The company includes John Howson, Digby Bell, Joseph Greensfelder, Charles T. Campbell, Signor Perugini, Lillian Eusvell, Laura Joyce, Lily Post, Emie Weathersby. A large chorus and augmented orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Jesse Williams, will add to the attractiveness of this special engagement, which is to be a permanent feature of this theatre.
