ZEE IHEATRE.-W perceive that this estab-
lishment is in operation. Not having been at any
OF their performances, we cannot say any thing
for or against them. We see, though from their
advertisements, that if a man takes $5 note
there, he can get admit tance TO the parquet and
boxes for 81 40 cents; but, if he does not like
that, let him take ninety cents in specie, and he
can have the same privilege. Now, as our spe-
Gle is scarce, we do not like to pay ninety cents
to crticise play and we have determined not to
pay 81 40 cents this season to Messrs. Ward and
Walton for that purpose. The retore, if our rea-
ders wish to know what is going on at the " Ma
tional," they will have to see for themselves. We
wish the Managers success, and if they pursue
the right course, we are persuaded they will meet
it. In 'sdays of yore," when Jefferson and War
rem conducted our g Washington" they were
well upported-because they gave us the first
Theatrical talent in the country. We opine the
Managers of the 9 National will never "put
money in their purses" by singing to US. But
if they will "speak the speech Of Shakespeare
and other illustrious writers-or, in other words,
if they will give us the "legitmae Drama" in its
purity, we think they will have nothing to com
plain Of when the season closes. We hope they
will do better than the following article, which
we clip from the Metropolis, (whose Editor, by
the by, is Judge of such mat:ers) would ind-

Our THEATRIcALs.-Wc stopt in the Thea

must do better than this if they want encourage

finest music in the play was left out"


FAIR FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE Poor


The Female Union Benevolent Society are to
hold Fair, commencing on the 3lst instant, at
Carusi's Saloon, for the above purpose. We see
by their notice that :" donations in work or other
wise will be gratefully received" We think it
only necessary to notice these facts to have them
responded TO.
