lHkATRIcAB.-Fhe prosperity OF the theatres
since the present season has commenced, is the sub
Ject of general remark. II has, indeed, been most
extraordinary Every place OF amusement has been
crowded. The minor theatres have been doing
an excellent business Niblo's under admirable
management has had a wonderfully prosperous sea-
son. and still in the full tide of success, will close
with comedy written for Mrs. Mowatt. The
Bowery has been crowded night after night and its
treasury was never in a more flourishing condition
So great indeed, has been the revival in theatrcals
in this city, that the attention of capitalists begins to
be directed TO investments in dramatic property
Moses Y. Beach, the celebrated inancier of Fulton
street, has, we understand, loaned money to two of
the theatres in this city, for the purpose Of paronzing
and encouraging the drama. This is exceedingly
credltable to Moses. He had already given evidence
OF his intense desire to benefit society by contribu
tons TO churches and religious societies, with the
Iaudable design, we doubt not, of supplying I" the
stated preaching of the gospel to this wicked gene
ration. Now he stands forth in the character OF
patron of the fine arts Shakespeare and the drama.
But the Park Theatre has experienced revival
that is beyond precedent. The engagement OF the
Keans was profitable in the highest degree And
the debut OF Miss Decy the commencement OF
another brilliant period in the season. She has
made most extraordinary impression. Her sing
! ing, acting beauty, fascinating manner are the
1 theme OF universal remark She came here with
very exalted reputation and she has fully realized
| the anticpatlons which had been formed of her
talents. Miss Delcy appears tonight as Agatha"
in " Der Freischutz'-one OF her best characters.
The last prospect OF the Italian opera next winter
has disappeared. Valtelini quite convinced from
the manner in which the committee of the patrons
OF the Italian OPERA who talked largely enough, but
failed in doing anything, have acted, that there
no rational probability of re-estabshing it here, has
bade us farewell and sailed or,ltay. English opera,
indeed, appears now TO be the rage the appearance
OF Miss Delcy has created quite fvor for it in this
city, and the lovers of music in Philadelphia and
Boston, are impatient for her advent amongst them
Templeton, now in this city, should at once unite
with the operate troupe at the Park. If he attempt
to give "lectures or concerts on his own hook, he
will fail most assuredv. Phillips failed and ac-
knowedged his mistake before he lett for Europe.
People will not go TO concerts now. They want
the worth of their money. No individual, how
ever talented, can alone sustain himself. The mis-
fortune with many artists who come here, is to fall
into the hands OF persons who cannot give good
advice. Mr. Templeton should beware of commit
ting such blunder, to follow the advice of per-
whose position in society, judgment and know
ledge Of this country and the public taste, not of
such character to make their suggestions of
any value. He should at once unite with Miss
Delcy-appear on the stage-and then he is certain
of very successful and profitable career in this
country. The idea Of first trying concerts, and then
in Of failure appearing in opera, is mistaken
one.
Altogether the prospects OF the drama and Eng
ish opera, were never SO promising in this country
as at this moment
