OPERA MovEMENrs.-We understand that
detachment from the present extensive Astor
troupe leaves town to-day for Bosl on, TO
commence season for six weeks, in that city,
on Monday night. This detachment consists of
Signora Biscaccianti, also, Vietti, Avignone,
and two or three others. They will begin with
the "Somnambula," at the Boston AthenGum
This movement has given rise to some talk,
and caused some eiiervescence among the sub
scrlbers and others connected with the Opera.
They affirm that this is violation of the origi-
nal contract entered into between the subscribers
and the managers. But who are the managers!
Sanquirico and Patti are one set of managers.
They are managed by Signor Seton, we'll
known for his personitications of Jenny
Twitcher, who is the second set. He, in his
turn, is managed by a secret committee, whose
names are unknown. If, then, there is any vio-
lation of contract, it is hardly possible for the
subscribers to reach the real parties to the deed.
But we advise them to be satisfied and content
ed; there is no remedy for violations of contract,
whether as respects the chairs in the balcony,
or anything else. Biscaccianti was the first
to fill the Opera House, and she has made it to be
actually crowded, as well as fashionable; and
for this audacity, she has bsen criticised in the
Courier g. Enquirer, the organ of the secret
managers, with degree of brutality almost
without parallel in the musical annals of New
York. She is now going on to Boston; and it is
to be hoped she will be better treated there than
she has been here by those called the cognoscenti.
In the meantime, the success here is complete.
Crowds were there last night, and crowds will
continue to be there on each succeeding night.
We hope now for the permanent establishment
among us OF this refined amusement. 1t will be
a great feature in the fashionable society of New
York, in bringing together all the separate
cliques into the same house, under the same
ton of public opinion. 1t will put an end to the
little coteries, and constitute all the scattered
divisions of good society into one great society,
refined, courteous, amiable, united and intelli-
gent
1t is the. Astor Opera House, and its singular
success, which has shut up the Park theatre, and
delivered it over to horses, and now threatens
the Broadway. Really, we don't know what the
amiable manager of the Broadway will do to
sustain his house, unless he starts in some new
direction, and brings out some novelty, either
in the field Of new dramas upon the events ofthe
day, written con amore to the occasion, or some
thing else.

A POSTMASTER NEGLECTING HIS BUSINESS
We perceive that the postmaster of this city,
Robert IL. Morris, is at the present time, or
recently, in Albany, engaged as counsel in cr-
minal case there.
This exceedingly amiable and estimable gen.
tleman cannot attend faithfully to the business of
the post-ofiice, for which he is paid literally by
the public and practice his profession as law
yer at the same time. One must suffer and
he seems determined that it shall be the post
office, aud SO it does. The affairs of the post
Office of this CITY, since they came under the
management of Mr.. Morris, have been conduct
ed in an extremely loose and careless manner;
but how can it be otherwise, when we see its
cad practising his profession hundr eds OF miles
Distant This is not the first time that this ami
able gentleman has left the post-oflicc to take
care of itself, and we all know how it did take
care of itself; and how much embarrassment
the community suffered in consequence.
! 1t any man but Cave Johnson were at the head
| of the Post Office Department, we should add
dress these remarks to him, and call upon him
| TO inquire of Mr.. Morris, why he has lett the
duties of his office, and gone to a distance to
practise his profession, as lawyer or politician;
but. as il is useless 10 expect any reform from
| hun, we address them to Congress, and request
| that body to investigate the subject, and request
of Mr. Morris to come back aud attend to his
business as postmaster, or give him liberty tc
oractise his profession without the encumbranct
of the post office.

The FREMONT COURT MARTIAL.-This inves-

The Court made terrible fuss the other day,
and expelled reporter because he happened TO
insert the word "merriment" in his report, in
relation to some sensation of the Court upon
certain question being propounded to them. If
this decision was correct, they will have to ex-
pei all the reporters, and the public as well; for
really everybody is beginning to look upon the
whole affair as perfectly absurd-so completely
ridiculous and pettifogging has the affair now
become. A quarrel which any two persons of
common sense might settle in ten minutes, has
occupied body Of respectable men-officers
Judges, lawyers, reporters, and fatigued listeners
for an equal number of weeks, and nothing
has as yet been done.

BANKING AND BUBBLEs.-The Courier & En-
quirer takes us to task for our remarks on the
subject OF banking in Elizabethtown, and, also,
for pronouncing good natured funeral sermon
over the lamented remains of the Plainfeld
bubble.
We do not think that we can be made ame-
nable to the charge OF inconsistency or impro-
priety. We have always, from principle, opposed
the bubble banking system, both in big as we'll
as in little bubbles. We opposed the United
States Bank, including its ffty-two thousand
dollar contract, and we warned people against
trusting to the managers. We did the same
towards the Plain6eld and all other similar bub-
bes. We advised the public invariably against
all such banks. The public, however, believed
the managers and putting newspapers, and have
been deceived and cheated. We are glad that
it was so--it was just what they deserved. All
those who trusted in the Plainfeld Bank and
in the United States Bank, have been deceived
and cheated, and they deserved nothing else
We do not care even if the president and CASH
Ter of the Plainfeld Bank, who have been in
dicted in New Jersey, should escape from the
clutches of the law, remembering very well that
the president and cashier, and others, connected
with the United States Bank, made similar es-
capes Sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander. Governor Young, be easy. A prede-
cessor of yours pardoned somebody from the
penitentiary-why not you!
