THE CoNvlcTloN OF PETER w. PARKE.-The

would join in numbering John Castner, and then
aid he M shall hnr. money enough Mrs. Mar
aret Marteus also testified that being at the

NEW BowERY THEATRE.-The above is a
most admirable engraving of the interior Of
the new and magnificent theatre, lately COM
pleted under the auspices of A. w. Jackson. ESQ.,
who, three months since, promised the public that
he would have 1t ready for dramatic representation,
early In August The public owe much to him for
his perseve rance and industry in placing in the
midst OF several respectable and intelligent districts
one OF the neatest and most spacious temples of the
histrlonic art in the whole Union and, indeed. il
would seem, that if apathy existed with any one
regarding the heavy expenditure incurred by Mr.
Jackson in its erection, that the charming Bowery
girls are determined to excite within the bosoms of
their gay Loharos, taste for the legitimate dra-
ma, tor the boxes nightly filled with the loveliest
and most perfect symmetry of the softer SEX There
never was an age, perhaps, in which SO many thea
tres have been erected as the present; but ambition
and avarlce lead many proprietors far astray from
'he great object OF theatrical representation Low
vulgar and absurd melo-dramas are being PLAYED
which contain neither moral, language, or senti-
me t-many indeed, not fit to be seen or heard. by
hose who have the slightest regard for decency.-
But in the New Bowery Theatre, some of the best
tragedies and comedies are produced, and the cha
racters filled by as good stock company as any in
the country. The interior view is splendid, there
being four tiers of boxes, with six private boxes
tastefuly decorated with rich curtains and embroi-
derry The stage is one of the largest, we believe, in
this country, and the drop and other scenery, exhibit
the genius and taste Of the artists employed there
The engraving above Is all sufficient to give the
public faint view Of the splendor and magnilicence
OF the interior of the house. Mr. jackson deserves
well the support of his fellow citizens, not only for
the erection of this edice, but for the comfort en-
loyed by the visitors-the house being well ventila-
ed-the strictest order preserved-and in the selec-
tion of the pieces played, he aims at every thing
which can tend to restore the drama to its pristine
features, that of exhibiting vice with its concomitant
evils, and of extending moral influence through
the cOmmunity

The YOnkers Affair.
New YORK. Angnst %. ISl

=, NEW YORK, August Z2, 1915.
Having seen a communication from Yonkers in
your journal day or two ago, beg leave to sub
init few facts In relation TO the subject and hope
that as you have published the one, you will adhere
to the very equitable rule of hearing both Sides and
publish the other. The Catholic Sunday School
attached to the Church of Nativity in this city,
proceeded Monday last to the village OF Yonlers,
for the purpose of pleasure and recreation During
ihr time they were on the grounds young man who
does not belong to that church, shook apple tree
and thereupon three valiant citizens, including one
constable seized HIM in very violent and disgrace
u manner, and dragged HIM to an official parsonage
called the Squire" The young man made no re-
slstance, not even when one ofthem exclaimed very
fercely, "here's the second damned Irshman have
caught today"-and all the way to the Squire's
house, was unaccompanied, except by the aforesaid
valiant citizens, and boy IL or Is years old. Ha-
having been Investigated, he was Immediately dis
charged. He was not rescued by troop OF "WIld
lrishmen;" he was not 'retaken by small posse Of
Yonkers valiant cltlzens" and he was not ultimate
ly rescued by the "Irish" These, Mr. Editor, are
the simple facts Of the case and can be vouched for
at any time. How widely different are they from
those presented by the writer OF that miserable apo
ogy OF letter! Had the people on that excursion
been any other than they were, should have
heard Of it-but coming from where they did, the un-
mitgated blgotry and inexcusable stupidity of the
writer, were kindled into flame OF intense excite
ment, and not knowing in what manner to vent his
dirty spleen, he finally determined to expose his nm
sophisticated ignorance in the columns of your pa
per: have deemed II necessary 10 give this expla-
nation OF the affair." In order to disabuse the public
mind on the subject. Yours, &C.,
