THEATRICAL INrELLIGEycE.-T Theatrical affairs al
this time are partly prosperous-pary revolutionary
partly going up-partly going down.
In this city we have three theatres in full blast
the Park Chatham and Bowery-one shut up for
the season-the Oympic and the Arabian Theat-
rical Gardens of Napoleon Niblo in full tide. The
Park and Chatham are the only successful houses,
and the former is entirely indebted to Fanny Esslel
for its present success.
A new theatre, by the friends of Charlotte Cush-
man, is to be built near the Tabernacle the ridge
of Broadway. The ground is secured, and the SUBJ
scriptons filling up.
The Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore theatres
are doing a very small business-ust enough to keep
body and soul together In Boston businessis so bad
that the players have TO fight among themselves to
keep things moving

excellent charities and then leave this country for

only six or seven large cities, of nearly two
millions aggregate inhabitants. In France or Eng
land she would not have made such fortune il

father and mother. She nil never return, 10 Paris
She will visit Italy and Russia, and then pass up To

The wonderful John Braham, his son Charles
and his fine family were at Harrisburgh at the asI
accounts on their way to the West They are pro

popular musical entertainments in the west. They
were at Louisville, Ky, at the last accounts and
were prodigiously applauded-and had large houses
They return to New York in the fall-passins
through Ohio--Upper and Lower Canada-Saratoga
and such points on the same line. Hackett was al
Montreal few weeks ago.
The Seguin troupe and a number of first and
second rate vocasts are in this city, apparently
biting their fingers and sucking their thumbs.

TO be always in happy state ofmusical galvanism
