Theatre--the New piece successful.

--Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather, and the "snowed up" condition of things generally, quite a numerous audience attended on Saturday night to witness the first representation of ‘--The Necromancer.--’ With regard to the scenery, the public anticipations were fully realized. Among the series of splendid views presented, we may specify that of the Old Westminster Bridge by moonlight, and the picture of Pandemonium, as unsurpassed by anything ever exhibited at our Theatre.--With the exception of some few annoyances which are unavoidable on the first representation of a piece involving so many and such rapid changes, the performance was highly satisfactory, and elicited hearty applause. --The music is original, and happily adapted throughout. At the close, Mr. Howe, who dramatized the story, was complimented by general call, in response to which he appeared before the curtain and expressed his acknowledgments. "The Necromancer" will be produced again to-night.
