PARK THEArRE.-The engagement of Fanny
Ellsler is highly prosperous The houses are full
every night, and the applause fat and thick. Many
of the small Sunday critics have been utterly as
founded at this result, and they endeavor to soace
their woe by cutting away at Martin, the male
dancer. Martin, sad fellow, is more of philoso-
pher than Sylvan, and takes it very kindly. Every
cut of the critics to improve the cut OF his p
rouettes. He is decidedly the most graceful male
dancer we have had here, with the exception of
Paul Tagoni. Sylvan is good, but too extrava-
giant and too ambous-he overheats his poker
Tonight the Sylphide isproduced.
CHATHAM THEATRE.-Ths house continues to
prosper. The energy and decision of the manager,
and the esprit du corps generated in the establish
ment, carry him successfully through. We under
stand that Thorne has brought an action for 81 200
or 81 500, against one App!egate, job printer in
Ann street, fo- deficiency in play bills embracing
certain period of time. 1t has also been said, that
several of the job printers have made large fortunes
by charging for bills, catalogues, and other jobs,
which never were delivered. This is new system
of shaving entirely-and auctioneers and managers
should look sharply after their interests.
NIBLo's SALOON AND GARDENs-This has begun
great season. Every thing looks prosperous.
OLYMPIC THEArRE-The seasonhas terminated
the house shut upland Mitchellgon trout fishing.
BowERY.-SGll fishing in troubled waters but
catching little. Much money has been lost on this
theatre during the last few years.
CHARLOTTE CUsHMAN's THEATRE-A the ar
rangements are nearly made to erect this theatre,
but not on the site Of Washington Hall. Charlotte
has procured better locale in Broadway. II seems
that John Jacob Astor held a mortgage of $4,000
w. III i
Coster John Jacob has also policy of insurance
for $25,OOO The mortgage is up in ls45 He was
requested to extend it to lS47but probably fearing
it would interfere with the Park. John Jacob de-
clned. No matter-Charlotteh has secured another
and better locale, and the new theatre will 90 on
Forrest has taken stock to large amomt-from
$1,000 TO $5OO0 Several capitalists and theatrical
| gentlemen have all taken stock. Apropos-Should
not Charlotte Cushman take benefit by way Of
beginning the great movement? We suppose she
might get Fanny Elsler to give one of her pretty
Cuba dances at such benefit
THEATRICAL Row IN BosToN-There has been
theatrical riot at the fremont Theatre, Boston
| on Thursday and Friday nights last week. 1t grew
out OF some silly quarrel between two PLAYERS. Field
and Johnson, both inferior artists The people. like
big fools, took sides, and kicked up row. In the
decline ofthe empire of Constantine the Great, the
people of Constantnople quarrelled and took sides
with the gladatos, circus riders bufToons and
| players. Are we as far yet!
SIeNoR NAGEL AND Mrs. SuTToN have been givins
concerts with great success in Louisville Kentucky
They intend to proceed to Cincinnati, to Pittsburgh
perchance Cleveland, Buffalo--then cross to Canads
and visit Toronto, Kingston Montreal lQuebec, her
recross the line, and back to Saratoga. All the in
habitants in the towns this route will have
chance to hear beautiful soprano singer-and ,
most wonderful violinist. Prepare and recsiv,
| them.
