TaEArRIcAL MoRALs.-The recent outrages COM
mtted by playactors and mountebanks upon the con-
ductors of the press for the exercise of their rights
growing too rapidly not to call for signal and immc
date example calculated to preserve the peace Of So
ciety and the liberty Of free discussion For the sim
ple announcement that actress in one of the thea
tres, had been caught in unbecomng conduct-proba-
by mere embrace and kiss of chanty-a corps OF the
actors of particular theatre took il into their heads
to wayay innocent individuals, and TO commit gross
outrage upon the laws and Institutions of society.


To well conducted theatre-to moral and talented
and gentlemany Managers we are always favorable
but during few years past, the gross immoralines
and ourages Of theatrical life, have increased faster
than have the dimensions Of state prisons or our
penitentaries II the profession Of player, male or
female il ever to rise to footing Of equality and re-
spectabiity with that Of other intellectual pursuits
there must be decided reform in the domestic morals
and manners Of the caste. II is the right, it is the
duty Of the community to look as narrowly into the
morals of their actors as Of their cergymen. Both

We propose in short time to begin this investga-
ton. We mean to rouse spirit in this community in
regard to hsatricals-to players-that will cause an
entire change in the private morals Of many of those
now attached to the heprofession. The community calls
for n reform.
