DECLINE OF TIE DRAMA. The legitimate
drama has certainly declined in this city. None
of the theatres are frcquented, except those OF
the cheap and melodramatic kind, such as the
Bowery, Chatham, &C. The exhibitions Of liy-
ing models, both male and female, seem to take
the place of the legitimate drama in Broadway;
for Pinteuxs is much more crowded than the
Broadway theatre. The horses run trium-
phantly at the Park; and the whole city is now
completely divided between the most refined
amusements of the Italian opera at the Aston
Place Theatre, and the cheap amusements at
the quarter dollar theatres in other parts of the
city Fashionable society is now completely
organized, and it is really delightful to look in

The Mission TO RoME.-We expect it is a
mistake that Bishop Hughes is to be sent to
Rome, although he would make very good
minister, and would be received with favor by
His Holiness 1t is more likely that Bishop
Hughes man, Mr.. Livingston, Of this city, or
Mr. McKeon, was intended, although in our
view of the matter, Chief Justice fancy would
be the most popular to send to the Eternal City
Some have named Mr.. Benjamin F. Butler as one
who would make good minister to Rome, he
being in favor Of the stated preaching of the
gospel, and other moral and important measures
On the whole, therefore, we would advise the
President, if possible, to overcome all prejudi-
ces, and send Bishop Hughes to Rome at once.
We think he would accept of the mission. The
Bishop may, therefore, be considered our csndl-
date, and we shall do much as we possibly
can for him. Mr. Buchanan, what do you think
of it,
