RICHMOND AMUSEMENTS.

A recent row at the Richmond Theatre has brought that institution before the Mayor's Court, and more prominently than heretofore to the attention of the public. The Examiner in a "first rate notice" of the establishment asserts that other attractions and luxuries than those presented on the stage are connected with the concern, and that performances other than those on the bills are enacted there; which if true, render the Richmond Theatre no fit place for a decent gentleman or lady to enter.
