The FINAL FLARE-UP AT PALMo's THEATRE
mi W he bos
come as we anticipated-the war between the two
big DE, Dumbolton and Dinneford, for Palmo's
theatre, has terminated against the former. The
facts are these, as we learn.
Mr.. Dumbolton wrote Mr. Palmo, week before
last, from Baltimore, wishing to engage the Opera
House, TO which Mr.. P. replied, that he could have
it on certain conditions Mr. Dumbolton arrived
in town on Saturday last, and an agreement was
entered into between the parties, Mr. Paimo sign.
ing lease on Saturday, April 26, conveying to Mr..
Dumbolton the Opera House tor one month, pos.
session to be given on the ls day of May ensuing
hundred and fifty dollars in advance for said
premises-all in gold; all of which can be seen
Mr.. b.
On application for possession Yesterday, Mr.
Dumbolton was informed by Palmo that he could
not render it up, consequence of Mr. Dinneford's
claiming prior right to the establishment by viz
tue Of lease previously granted by MIR. P. The
merits OF this matter we understand, are to be de-
clded on Tuesday next, at o'clock, before Justice
Kirkland, when the original play OF Jeremy Dlddler
will be played over again.
Mr.. Dinneiord, we learn, had to pay a sum Of
money TO Pdlmo before he could make his rights
available, aud prevail or his sensbilities. He had
not the money himself, but, like Charles in the
:. Schoolfsr Scandal" he borrowed the money Of
little Premium, who had not it himself, but bor-
rowed it from Moses, who borrowed il from a
friend. Mr. Applegate. the printer, furnished the
funds, NC, Nc, &c, &c, but we have not heard
whether they were in Plainfield notes.
1t Is funny affair, and the trial will be equally
got piece OF waste paper for 1t only.
The CHEAP THEATRIcALs.-We noticed yester-
day the fact of Mr. Tryon being engaged in alter
ing and reflting the B0wery Amphitheatre for dra-
matte purposes. and we have reason to believe q
new impetus will be given TO the cheap drama by
this enterprisipg movement
1t undoubtedly sprung like the phoenix from ashes
-ashes no less sacred than those Of the " Old Bow
ery"-but like that wild Arabian bird, we hope TO
this little fabric soar aloft-far from the petty
meanness and gr0velling littleness which would
impede its progress, to lame and fortune.
Meanwhile rumor has reached us that Mr.. Ham,
bin intends renting Palmo's and appealing to pub
lie sympathy Tor aid. II the ex-manager is worthy,
he need notiear-the New York public ever respond
sympathy for the distressed. We would advise
him, however, to remove the Bull" and allow lis
actors to engage wherever they feel inclined; and
we hope no further attempts will be made 10 en-.
croach on the rights, or undermine the interests Of
others.

Monday evening, May 9Th, with fine array Of
beauty and talent-will be- conducted with liberali.
