PRoeREss OF FASHIONABLE SOCIETY or
ganization of fashionable society, attempted in
this city, by the establishment of regular Ital-
ian Opera, is going on prosperously, and would
appear to succeed with the same rush and the
same impetuous enthusiasm with which men
adopt new religion, or go for new President,
or rush after some new humbug. If we cannot
say much for the Opera, either IN the whole or
in the detail, (and with the exception of Bene.
dtti, the troupsis very only as now perform
ing at the Astor Place Theatre, we may say
more for the appearance of the house-the coup
dqi Of the establishment, the beauty and grace
OF the ladies, the business appearance of the gen.
temen, and the philosophical proprety of ALL
This is, however, but trial-but first effort
"a preliminary step. Much still is required to
be done, both as respects dress, manners, ar.
rangement, the relations of managers company,
critics, audiences, and all connected with them.
The Astor Place Opera House can by ne means
compare with the Acaddmie Royaie of Paris, or
with the Queens Opera in London, or with the
dress, brilliancy, or any other of those adventi-
tious advantages which spring from enormous
wealth and long trained manners. In personal
beauty there is a great equality, and particularly
among the females in the fashionable theatres of
all countries The prettiest women are generally
at the cheapest theatres. In Paris the ladies dis
play more taste in dress, higher finish in man.

greater wealth and display; but with all this,
certain GOODNESS of latitude-5s:SO In the fash
ionable theatres of Vienna and Berlin, however,
the resemblance to ours here in the United States
is more apparent.
But, upon the whole, we think, as far as we
have gone in this country hitherto, we have don e
well, and are in fair way Of wonderful improve
ment. Considering, also, that the highest and
proudest of the elite OF New York, as they are
called, cannot 60 back to their grandfathers
without running against respectable tailor, or
prudent butcher, or a pious shoemaker, we
think that fashionable society makes greater
progress here than in Europe, where they have
to trace back their families many long centuries,
before they light upon their founders, who were
the bloody barons, or the black mail robbers OF
the middle ages.

SUPPRESSION OF LOTTERIES We have received

rotary, No 693 Broadway" and issued as ''tract
No l." by the "Society for the suppression of
vice aud immortality" designed also for univer-
sal circulation.
tits a little dirty document, and puts forth
multitude of charges against a number of indi
viduals, among whom we find Dudley S. Grego-
ry, member Of Congress from New Jersey; Chas
Mcintyre, of No IS Wall street; Daniel McIn-
tyre, j. M. Maury & Co., of Washington; Charles
& Son, including their Bank Note List; J. Paine
and James Phelan, Wall street, including also
the VAL Street Reporter; S. J. Sylvester, Lewis
Morrison, Moses, and We don't know but Moses
and ali the prophets too. The editors of news
papers, and the clergy of the United States, are
urgently called upon to circulate this tract, and
put it into those gentlemen, without stint or mes-
sure. Who "Mr H. r. Vyvyian, Secretary, No.
693 Broadway" s,we don't know; but he seems to
to be brave fellow, when he makes such dread
full onsets against member of Congress, and
other individuals, in Wall street, and out of it
and all this, too, for the suppression of vice and
immortality.
This certainly is great country-New York
ls great city-Wall street is a great strset-and
"R. R. Vyvyian, Secretary, No. 693 Broadway"

1t has been fed on weak diet long enough,
and too long. The churches have been emp

and the whole truth, or if il can't, it is time
it should be taught TO by having the truth
told it. We can't understand why some are
SO afraid 10 speak out; we are not one grain
concerned that speaking the truth will so
shock the world as to produce commissions
from which it can never recover. The world,
or rather the worlds conscience keepers will
provide against that. Try the experiment if

you will, the world needs but TO inhale a dose
