theatres receive $3.50, 900 a year, by way of gra-
tuity, from the government, to support them
These four are the Academic Royal, French
Grand Opera,) the Theatre Francais, the Opera
Comique, and the Odeon. All the other theatres
support themselves on their incomes. Another
important rule is observed with these theatres
Each house is confined TO the performances OF
such description of theatrical pieces as are per-
mitted by the patent, which they receive from the
government, on payment of a certain sum OF
money Tragedy, comedy, vaudeville, farce,
OPERA ballet pantomime, horsemanship, specta-
Gle, puppet-show, are all performed at various
theatres according to law, and are restricted to
these places. No theatre is allowed to perform
what is not permitted by its charter. Theatrical
amusements have had many vicissitudes in Paris,
but of late years they have increased very much,
as political agitation has ceased. The following

The CAPTURE OF ALvARADo, &c.-We publish
to-day an account of the capture of Alvarado-
and also the capture of the town of Fla-co-Tal-
pam, by Lieut. Hunter, and the gallant officers
and crew of the little steamer Scourge. 1t was
a splendid affair.
The U. S. steamer Scourgc arrived with one
gun, and with crew of less than one hundred
men succeeded in capturing these places with
out any difficulty, after brief bombardment.
We learn that the gallant Hunter is to be
court nlarti"lled, for going beyond the powers
delegated to him by Commodore Perry He
was directed merely to blockade Alvarado, but
instead of doing so he captured it, and town OF
5000 inhabitants besides.
What punishment will be inflicted on him?

1t Will be seen from this that a revolution in
Paris affects the receipts of the theatres to very
injurious extent. In times of peace and order the
people must be amused with dramatic represent
tations. AT this day probably the aggregate an
nual receipts of the drama in Paris amounts to
ten millions of francs, or two millions of dollars
probably more than double the annual re-
ceipts of the theatres in New York. The
theatres here furnish the principal and most
lucrative employment for musicians and dra-
matte authors. New plays of every kind,
t. they have merit and success, yield to
he writer's vast sums of money. A portion
of the proceeds of every performance, during
cert ain period of time, is secured to the author
in every theatre of France. Some popular dra-
mas have yielded $4,000, and some $4,000, to
the author There is also constant demand
made by the theatres, upon authors, for articles
of novelty. Probably one-half of the population
of Paris spend their evenings at theatres, and
nothing in the dramatic line will succeed but
talent, novelty, and genius. genius for dra-
matte writing is sure to succeed against all oppo-
sition. Other descriptions of literature, with
few exceptions, such as Theirs, Sue, and Guizot,
are poorly paid.
