THEArRIcALs.-Whata complete change has
come the spirit Of theatrcals in this city with
in the last year! Tragedy, and comedy, and opera,
Of the first order, have entirely failed attract
crowded houses, as formerly; even spectacles, Qor
merly prolific in attractions, and profts) have
partially failed, and nothing will go down but vaude
ves, small theatres low prices, light entertain
ments and dramati sed localities Charles Kean and
the Vandcnhos failed to fill any treasury to the
ipated extent; the latter now playing to poor
houses; the performances Of the excellent operate
troupe with Mrs. Martin at the head, have played to
almost empty benches; and the attempt to revive the
legitimate drama at the Bowery, has sgnaly failed,
least for the present, and the management have
their steps back to spectacle, pomp, and show.
This may succeed, with the addition of vaudev illcs
| and local dramas.
The success Of the Olympic is entirely owing to
the pungency Of its vaudevles, and to the expert
ness with which every exciting and popular local in
cident is caught up and dramatised, with proper
sprinkling Of wit and Jokes, by way Of pepper and
salt This is the ofh success Of this house,
and any other theatre similarly conducted, will be
similarly successful; there is reason why several
such theatres should not succeed here equally as well
as in Paris; the tastes habits, and manners of ma
jority Of the inhabitants of the two cities being pre-
cisely similar.
The for tragedy and comedy, grand scale,
have entirely gone since the revulsion. There has
been much real tragedy, and real comedy in Wall
street, that artificial representations Of these matters
pail upon the senses. They have the same relish for
light pleasing vaudeville or farce, that they have
for short spicy paragraph in the "Herald." The
big numbering heavy plays, are like the heavy lum-
bering articles in the Courier" Who reads the
"Courier1"-who goes to the Bowery TO see legiti-
mate dramal And yet every one reads the Herald
and every one goes to the Olympic to local incl
| dents dramatized in a clever manner.

THE Marriage FEAST AT NIBLo's-RoAsrISG
sF AN Ok, AND CONTEMPLATED BAsrING or ASSES.
The preparations for celebrating the marriage of
the pretty English girl, Queen Victoria, with the
good looking young German lad Prince Albert, in
this city, are progressing with great rapidity The
feast will take place at Niblo's garden next Thurs
day. Already the subscriptions for defrayng the
expenses, amount to than $1,000, and from the
parts of Great Britain and Ireland at present resi-
dent in this city, there is every to believe
that the affair will go off" with tremendous eclat
II will doubtless be brilliant affair. All the
widows and orphans now in New York, of English
neu, Irishmen, Scotch men, will be invited to par
take of this great marriage feast, and accommoda-
tons will be provided for many to sit down to ia
BILE as the garden conveniently accommodate
The spectators will be most numerous; many of the
most beautiful foreign ladies in the city will be
present; and the coup Doll, therefore, must be i'm
posing The idea of providing plum pudding, with
the roast beef, has been abandoned; and plum cake
is to be substituted. One large cake is to weigh
over 1000 pounds, and is to be made much like
the large Victoria wedding cake in London, pos
sible.
OF course the affair could not be considered com
plete without sort of oppositon therefore two
orthree violent, noisy, frothy radicals, kissing hot
from Birmingham, Spitalfelds, Glasgow, some
where else intend to organize opposition if pos
sble, and attempt to kick up a row, just merely TO
preserve their consistency and appear in their
proper character of Marplots. However, Niblo IN
derstands all these things. and has taken his
surcs ccordngly. He is little man. it is true and
80 was Napoleon; and like Napoleon he is more than
a match for a legion Of insurgent sanscu lottes and
poor disc ontened devils, who, like the dog in the
manager, are unwilling TO either themselves or
any else in reasonable enjoyment Of the pleasures
al this life.

NEW STEAM Boar LAVA very important bill
has been laid before Congress to provide for the bet
ter protection of the lives Of passengers on board
steam vessels. 1t has passed to second reading,
and ought instantly to become one of the laws of
the land. If suOh was in force when the Licking
ton was destroyed, the owners thereof would not
have been permitted to pass by unpublished.
But to the bll Each steamer is to be newly en-
rolled and registered once every year. They to
be examined by inspectors appointed for that pur-
pese and removable by the district Judge, if unfit
for the duty They must examine the hull, boats,
engines, injection pipes, boilers, chimaies, furnaces,
fues timbers, smokepipes, partitions, decks, fuel
ropes, sails, rudder rods, chains, paint, buckets,
force pumps, engine pumps, boilers, rooms, and
every nook and corner of the vessel They to
be allowed hole to creep from-no paltry
excuse. They to examine, particularly, into
the capabilities Of each boat, whether anthracite
coal can be burned with safety not, and it is to
be their duty to regulate the number of inches of
steam to be carred-to examine also the engineers,
their capabilities, &C.
Each steamer is to be provided with
force pumps life boats, yawls fire engines, and sails
The owners of the boats to be liable for all da-
IMAGES sustained to either lives or property, in case
of explosion or fire. They are, particularly, to
have chains, iron rods, and, in instance, will
they be permitted to steer with tiller ropes
There must be index scales placed in convenient
spot, for the inspection Of passengers, showing
the height of water in the boilers, and the varying
pressure and temperature of the steam, and each
steamer to be provided with forty water buckets
If neglectfu in any Of these, they are to be hea-
Willy fined
If the inspectors give false certificates to the
owners of any boats, they are either to be fined
five hundred dollars, or imprisoned ninety days,
which is net half severe enough.
