NEW BowERY THEATRE.-The above is a
most admirable engraving of the interior Of
the new and magnificent theatre, lately COM
pleted under the auspices of A. w. Jackson. ESQ.,
who, three months since, promised the public that
he would have 1t ready for dramatic representation,
early In August The public owe much to him for
his perseve rance and industry in placing in the
midst OF several respectable and intelligent districts
one OF the neatest and most spacious temples of the
histrlonic art in the whole Union and, indeed. il


would seem, that if apathy existed with any one
regarding the heavy expenditure incurred by Mr.
Jackson in its erection, that the charming Bowery


girls are determined to excite within the bosoms of
their gay Loharos, taste for the legitimate dra-
ma, tor the boxes nightly filled with the loveliest
and most perfect symmetry of the softer SEX There
never was an age, perhaps, in which SO many thea
tres have been erected as the present; but ambition
and avarlce lead many proprietors far astray from
'he great object OF theatrical representation Low
vulgar and absurd melo-dramas are being PLAYED
which contain neither moral, language, or senti-
me t-many indeed, not fit to be seen or heard. by
hose who have the slightest regard for decency.-
But in the New Bowery Theatre, some of the best
tragedies and comedies are produced, and the cha
racters filled by as good stock company as any in
the country. The interior view is splendid, there
being four tiers of boxes, with six private boxes
tastefuly decorated with rich curtains and embroi-
derry The stage is one of the largest, we believe, in
this country, and the drop and other scenery, exhibit
the genius and taste Of the artists employed there
The engraving above Is all sufficient to give the
public faint view Of the splendor and magnilicence
OF the interior of the house. Mr. jackson deserves
well the support of his fellow citizens, not only for
the erection of this edice, but for the comfort en-
loyed by the visitors-the house being well ventila-
ed-the strictest order preserved-and in the selec-
tion of the pieces played, he aims at every thing
which can tend to restore the drama to its pristine
features, that of exhibiting vice with its concomitant
evils, and of extending moral influence through
the cOmmunity
