LA PETITE AueusTA-Miss haywood has been
invested with an al captandum name to some pur-
pose and has very handsomely indicated her peten-
sons to the title she has assumed She has drawn
full houses, even in these times so unfavorabe TO
theatrical prosperity and her consumed success IS evil

OPENING CANAL STREET.-A meeting to take into
consideration the means of effecng this object was
held two three days ago at the Street Commission
ers' Office when only two three persons attended,;

singular GOODNESS in the public mind towards great
an Improvement, and which, in the course Of few
years, must necessarily be brought about. Now is
the best and easiest opportunity as it can be done
with less expense and there are fewer obstacles to
surmount; butt the citizens dc not bestr themselves
the occasion will pass away, and what now be
done at comparatively trifng outlay will afterwards
require vast expenditure. The idea of the Bowery
Theatre is chinerical; no such establishment can
ever again succeed thereihe lemon has been squeez-

jecors, besides continuing the denoraising nusances
Of its vicinity.
II Mr. Catln having closed his exhibition here,
is going to Washington, from whence he will proceed
to Europe, where he has an almost certain prospect
of realizing about hundred, or hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. In London and Paris, and the
provincial towns and cities his gallery will be qaite
the rage, nothingsof the kind being known there,
and the people being quite enthusiastic about the In
dams, their history, antiquities and every thing con-
nectcd with them. Catn is star of that galaxy OF
talent Of which this country may well be proud, and
who illustrate it by their genius, spirit enterprise, and
excellence of character like Audubon, nc is enthus
SUITS and, as is always the result when such is the
case he has succeeded beyond any other competition
in producing collection anrival ed and inimitable.
We rejoice in the good fortane that avals him he
has fairly earned it, and will make good use of il
as heis as single hearted as he is absorbed in the
objects Of his talent and industry.
