the discerning public begin to suspect that the

and he must remember that is the principal object
of his contention. On the other hand, let us i'm

COLUMBIAN MAoAzlNE.-The second number OF
this very beautiful periodical has made its appear
ance. II is got up in style of elegance and taste
altogether unequalled, we believe, by any Of its RI
walls. Mr.. Post, the publisher, is man of greaI
tact and experience, and what with his talents and
the elegance Of the work, it has already attained
very extensive circulation.
We regret that we cannot speak in such terms OF
unqualified appreciation of the contents Of this ma
gazine. The writer's are those whose names are
familiar 10 all the readers OF the fashionable maya.

the same namby-pamby, milk and water descrp- |
ton as those with which we nave met in Other |
magazines. In fact these contributors appear to
make those magazines a place Of deposit for all
their most Improbable compositions and their slip |
slop ideas of all kinds These periodicals thus |
come very much 10 resemble an old clo' shop in !
Chatham street, being'illed with tawdry, misce-
laneous collection of WORKOUT garments and hack
neyed ideas, picked ND in the Rag Fairs and Nov

this corrected SO far as his magazine is concerned
ITALIAN OPERA -Palmo is making great prepar.
ations TO open, with all the forces he can muster
under his present contract with the troupe engaged
on Wednesday evening next. They have had |
rehearsal we believe, already, and will have seve
raj additional ones in the beginning OF the week
so as TO be ready to make the best possible debut
Every effort will be made ensure success 30 ia,
the manager, Siguor Palmn, is concerned and |
it will only remain 10 be seen how the company
meet the public expectations. Every indulgence
ought to be shown them, and they must endeavo,
to do the best they can; and if, after all, they fail
in satisfying public expectation, in point of talent,
power, and quality in every respect, that same
public will insist that some change be made in the
company, and some additional strength engaged
1t is true that the troupe have contract with Pal
mo for two months but il the public are dissatisfied
with them after trial Of two or three nights, they
most alter that, and meet the public expectation j,
they mean to succeed at all. For our part, we
mean to receive the company with the utmost good |
nature, and do all we can for them, notwithstand
stand all that has passed.

THEATRICAL MOVEMENTS. -Schuberth and Vieux
Temps left last week for New Orleans, driving pos,
haste TO forestall Ole Bull. At Pctersburgh, how
ever, they missed the stage or railroad car and
were detained day. Next day off they started
again at full speed, and probably by this time they
are the ground, and the great Battle of Water
loo must soon be fought.
