Our policy should be clear, distinct, direct, un.
shrinking, resolute. II Mexico do not make
war upon US at once, and show her hand, our
government should bring her to the test. A
special mission should be that sent to Mexico,
tor the purpose OF securing a settlement of all those
questions relative TO the Texan frontier, and also
requiring payment IF the indemnities Then, if our
terms be not complied with in a limited period, We
should occupy, without further ceremony, the whole
territory 10 the left of the Rio Grande including
Santa Fe--send naval force.o Vera Cruz, and land
forces to take possession of California as guarantee
OF prompt and satisfactory settlement of all these
questions hold, resolute policy OF this character
would at once defeat all the manpuvres of France
and England, and by compelling all parties to show
their hands, would precipltate the crisis which mus
one day come, but in such manner as TO give us
the vantage ground whatever course events NIGH
take. 1t Is idle to talk any longer 1t is idle to
twaddle any longer. Acrion-action-action is the
word. AS to the ISLANDERS, libel and insult poured
out upon the foreign policy Of the American govern
ment, all are but as the passing wind Oursis glo-
rious destiny. And every citizen has lot and part
In 1t. Let Us then quit ourselves like men-and lei

energy and resolution, that OF policy which

THEATRIcALs- in this city, and
throughout the country, probably in more
flourishing condition than they have been for many
years past As an art-as a trade-as a profession
AS amusement-as a mode Of making money
and reputation, al once, TO actors and managers
themselves, lhearicals appear, indeed, to be more
prosperous this metropolis and throughout the
country, than al any former period of time. This
prosperity, no doubt arises from the general pros
perry of the country, the comprehensive diffusion
of competence and wealth. the improving taste Of
the people, and the good sense, TACT and revival of
intelligence amongst theatrical managers.
In this city, the Park Theatre has had one Of its
most extraordinary REVEALS in business and pros
perity. During the engagement of Hackett, and
particularly since the Keans have been playing, the
houses have been crowded with fashion and intel
ligence, beyond all former times The legitimate
drama, both comic and tragic, has been patronzed
to most remarkable extent, and those finished ar
lists, the Keans, have realized richer returns both
IN cash and reputation, than they ever had in any
previous period Of their professional career. In
point OF talent, and reputation, public and private
they well deserve this success The Bowery Thea
tre also, under It's auspices has been remarkably
prosperous equally so with any of its former best pc
RODS, probably, indeed, beyondany previous period
The new management seems to be complete, and the
skill and tact with which they get up, night after
night, their pieces, rewarded by tremendous
houses. Niblo's summer theatre has also been pa
tronised by the beauty and fashion of the upper re-
gions OF Broadway. The French opela, there, has
enjoyed second season of even greater prosperity
than they did during the heats of summer at the
Park Theatre. And well do they deserve this sue
cess. In point OF talent, strength, industry and ef-
tectiveness, this troupe Of the highest order Cas-
tie Garden though not professionally theatre has
been extremely well patronised during the summer
Its delightful promenades are universally admired
and the entertainments have been of the most agree
able and varied character. The other theatres-the
Chatham, and some minor establishments together
with private heatricas have all been in the highest
state of prosperity In fact, at sober estimate,
since the common, of the present fall season.
IN theatricals, we may set down an amount of one
hundred thousand. or one hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars spent for these delightful amusements

Monday night, by the first appearance of young
and beautiful artist from Italy and England-Miss
Delcy-the ar-famed daughter of Rorhino Lacy, a
distinguished English composer. During the last
few years we have had number of superior Eng

-Phillips-the Seguins-and also some Italian ar
lists. But all those who depended on their own
isolated efforts, concerts, have found that
the people OF this country require the worth of their
money, and will not attend concerts given even by
the greatest professors though they will crowd and
crowd, and crowd TO operas, English, Italian or
French. The Seguins have been successful without
possessing superior marked talent of any description

On her hrst appearance in opera at Milan, in Italy
the celebrated Madame Pasta heard her, and was
SO delighted with the exhibition OF her powers both
as an actress and singer, that she invited her to
