AMERICAN THEATRICALS.
The celebrated singer, Madame Marietta Albon
whose beautiful voice has no rival in the world, wi- .
return very soon to New York. She intends to give
several concerts at the Metropolitan Hall in the begin-
ning of September, and we doubt not that her triumph
will be as great as it was in all the principal European
cities. Her succsss in the two performances which took
place, a month ago, is a sure guarantee of the enthusias-
tic applause with which she will bo received on her
second appearance in our city.
Miss Emma Fitzpatrick, of Drary-lane, " the belle of
the British stage," and the only actress acknowledged in
Mngland as the representative of the gay and dashing
high comedy parts, late the rival, and now the successor,
in that department of the drama, of the retired Mrs.
Nisbett (Lady Beothby), is announced in the English
papers to be a passenger in the Atlantic, which sailed
from Liverpool on the 11th. It is said she will make
her &hilt at Niblo's, on the 30th inst., as Letitia Hardy,
in the Belle's Stratagem.
Mdlle. de Melis,e, of the Grand Opera, Paris, a
danseuse who is said to combine great artistic merit
with extraordinary personal charms, is hourly expected
by the Franklin, from Havre. She is engaged for
Niblo's.
Sir William Don and one of the French billet troupe,
says the Memphis Erpress, were arrested on Thursday
evening, after the performances at the Melodeon had
closed, by Sheriff Wiggins, on the charge of fraudu-
lently obtaining passage for that troupe on a Mississippi
stesreer, between New Orleans end Cincinnati.
Oa the occasion of Miss Julia Bennett's benefit on
Friday evening, at Detroit, Engine Company No. 4
attended the theatre in uniform, and greeted her per-
formance of Lady Gay Spanker, in the comedy of
London Assurance, with quite a shower of elegant
bouquets.
Jullien and his great band will probably visit America
in the autumn of 1853—has signed a contract to that
effect, and cannot before.
The next grand move on the chess-board of coming
events, is the representation of Italian opera in New
York, Boston, and Philadelphia, in the same perfect
Istyle, in every particular, and by the same artists.
singers, ballet, orchestra, chorus, costume, as in Paris and
London, for 60 or 80 nights subscriptions. Balfe is
likely to be the conductor, or else Benedict, and probably
Lumley will he the director.
Janass Anderson, the tragedian, will, most likely, visit
the Unitel Stites again, for a term, to commence about
November; his engagements up to that time prevents his
sailing earlier.--N eu7 York Herald

CHANGE or CoLoun Is Fisu.—The change of
colour in fish is very remarkable, and takes place with great
rapidity. Put a living black burn trout into a white basin
of water, and it becomes, within half an hour, of a light
colour. Keep the fish living in a white jar for some days,
and it becomes absolutely white; but put it into a dark-
coloured or black vessel, and although on first being placed
there the white-coloured fish shows most conspicuously on
the black ground, in a quarter of an hour it becomes as
dark-coloured as the bottom of the jar, and consequently
difficult to be seen. No doubt, this facility of adapting its
colour to the bottom of the water in which it lives, is of the
greatest service to the fish in protecting it from its numerous
enemies. All anglers must have observed that in every
stream the trout are very much of the same colour as the
gravel or sand on which they live; whether this change
oot. f colour ;
is a voluntary or involuntary act on the part
the fish, I leave it for the scientific to determine.—
