The fremont Theatre opens this evening, for a
season, with the plays OF John Bull, and the
Irish Lion" in which pieces Mr.. Tyrone Power,
who arrived in the " Acadia" will make his appear
ance 1t is sometime, believe, since this gentle
man made his appearance in this city, aud he is
engaged, if we may believe the bills, for but three
nights, which probably means, in theatrical parlance,
three ceeks. After his engagement closes, he visits
New York, where he is engaged at the Park. 1.-THE
present season at the fremont shall not prove
profitable than last, the Bostonians will call for
change in its management. The National was open
ed week ago, to a good house, but i understand
that the houses during the latter part Of the week
were anything but good. have almost come to
the conclusion that the Boston folks do not want a
theatre and that nine tenths Of them would hold up
both hands to have both the fremont and National
houses turned into places of religious worship In
deed, may say, that this is the fact. One reason
for this is, doubt, because the theatres here, for
year or two past, ave been most miserably ma
naged Third rate actors, and nonssnsica plays will
fail to fill the house, aud lose their attraction at
sight, in spite Of huge play bills with pompous cap
tions. So much for the ,tres, now for steam ships
with the establishment Of Cunard's line Of steam
ships. The public dinner given to Mr.. Cunard on
the arrival OF the Britannia, was splendid affair,
and the enthusiasm is such here that my only wonder
is that dinner not got up the arrival of the
Acadia" and so on at every arrival Of steamer
from Liverpool. Anything from across the water
will take like wdfre in BOston-people are only at
loss how to show enough attention. Mr. Cunard,
ii he is sensible man, and know he is, must laugh
in his sleeve. it is rumored that the Mayor and
City government, ACCOMPANIED by Capt. Sturges

be in full uniform, and his arrival in Boston har-
bor salute will be fired from the cutter Hamilton
with ball cartridge the full band ofthat vessel play
ing several natural airs in the meantime. II is un-
dersood that the firing and music will not cease

SAINT one. So, MIR. Bennett, YOU shall have
fine times here, and this glorious affair will not
off till the first OF November, in cool weather,
think there can be no doubt but that il will keep
day or two, unless MIR. buckingham, or some of
his should knock the thing all in the
head before that time He was unciyil enough to
say in his paper after the Great Cunard Festival,
at which the Chief Magistr Of New York, and
all the New England States were invited, that the
Boston people never were wise until after they had
made fools of themselves. "Od Buck tells some
bomely truths once in a while, and although he rubs
rather hard occasionally there always oil at hand
to make his caustics slip.
Ridicuie aside. The establishment Of Cunard's
line WILL there be doubt. be great bene fit to
Boston, and there is 40 Boosting in saying So The
qualification Of Bostonians is just in the proportion
that they imagine this enterprise will detract from
the importance and business Of New York, and the
idea that New York is hereafter to be dependant

gra'ifc alton an citation. When the Western Rail-
road is completed, shall monopolize a large
amount of trade which New York now gets, and
we are not without hopes that we shall one day be
able to import goods for the Gotham merchants
