nate passion for "canvass back ducks,' and
that delicious sort of game called "timber-
doodles," ouigo woodcocl, have actually already
placed the city treasury in "rather a delicate
fix" The Corporation have not long to live, and
the day of reckoning is close at hand Mean
while, we shall be curious to see what our next
Mayor will say in relation to the printing and
stationery of the present board. "We shall see

THEATRIcALs, &C.-During the last week or
two there was considerable revival in the le-
gitimate drama, and also in opera and music.
This revival has principally manifested itself
since the suppression of those obscene exhibit
tons called model artists. 1t is true, the Park
theatre continues cosed but that has arisen prin-
cipally from bad management, antique tactics, and
a species of Louis Philippism In its government.
There's the Broadway has been quite prosperous
for the last fortnight. Anderson has played there
to full houses, and for this week we believe
BlangY has been engaged as a danseuse Col
Mann's face locks rounder and roster than ever.
So, likewise, with the Opera. Considering the
facility with which the opera people make their
announcements, and change them when the time
of performance arrives, the troupe has been won
deruly successful last week, and drawn very
good houses. A new opera is to be given this week.
and fromthe number ofstrangers of rank and fash
ion who come to tho city in the beautiful month
Of April, there Is every reason to believe that
the Opera will be more crowded in its latter days
than it was IN its infancy. One thing in favor
of its success is the probability that the vapd
and silly criticisms perpetrated and inflicted on
the public by certain set of empty fellows, who
call themselves musical critics, have entirely
evaporated from the columns of the daily Jour-
nails.
Thus we go-the cheap theatres, the Bowery,
the Chatham, and others, are full every night.
The legitimate Broadway is in the same condi-
ton the Opera ditto. Fashionable amusements
have very much improved, and for this we are in
debted somewhat to the legal authorities and tho
Grand Jury, for the prompt and decided suppress
sion of the indecent exhibitions of the model ar
lists. Times are looking up, and so are stocks.
ANNUAL EXHIBITION OF PAINrINas-The an
nual exhibition of The National Academy will
open to-day. This will be fashionable lounge
tor five or six weeks. We understand that there
is number of very choice paintings in this ex-
hibition; some middlng ones, and good many
execrable. Among the friends of art-and this
class is increasing in this country-some in
terest is felt in the progress of painting. To
aid this, 1t 10 necessary to have correct and in
dependent criticisms of our exhibitions. For
this purpose we hereby offer for criticisms on
this exhibition, from three to ten doll airs CO.
lumn, according to quality and character; and we
require contributors to send in their critiques
as fast as possible-the money to be paid on their
publication. We will not say but we will make
the same offer for good musical critiques, we'll
as for those paintings.
MEXICAN Ps1zss.-The U. S. schooner Bonita
captured two schooners of about 80 tons each,
manned by Spaniards. They ere engaged in
smuggling tobacco between Laguna and TOBIAS.
CO. The Bonita brought them to Tobasco, where
they arrived about the 10Th of February.
