Fanny Morgan Phelps commenced her second engagement in this city on the 11th inst., opening at the Old Bowery Theatre in ‘Actress by Daylight’ and the ‘Wild Irish Girl,’ which was repeated the following evening. The ‘Belle of Faubourg’ and ‘Bonnie Fish Wife’, ‘Pauline’ and ‘Katie O’Shiel,’ ‘The Robber’s Wife’ and ‘Susan Hopley,’ were the plays performed the remainder of the week. Thuis lady is an actress who has gained a reputation in the Australian and California theatres for her performances in a variety of legitimate pieces. In personal appearance she is very prepossessing, and she has the power of covering up the deficiencies of those around her by her admirable rendition of characters in which she appears. Her singing is invariably encored. In Scotch and Irish dialect characters she is equal to any actress present on the stage. Her style is free, natural and full of spirit, and at once wins the favor of her audiences. . . . .

Annie Gibbons and Nellie Howard, double clog and jig dancers, commenced an engagement at the Old Bowery Theatre, in this city, on the 11th inst., and continue there at present. They have made a very favorable impression in their double clog and jig dancing, being called out every evening. They do two good acts and are a card in any music hall. Managers wishing to engage them will find their advertisement in another column.”
