T4t
The Theatres last evening presented very thin
houses, in consequence Of the fire works.
The article in which we ridiculed the absurd
and dangerous custom Of throwing bouquets on
the floor, has been attFbuted to the manager. We
do not wish Tom Placide, just now, to
"Die Of rose in aromatic pan.''
We will relieve him from the danger in which
these suspicious place him. by stating that the ar
ticle was written by one of the editors without the
knowledge of Mr.. Placide, and without any con-
versation with him or any one connected with the
Varieties.
We again say that the practice should be aban-
doned. If there ever was any compliment in
throwing dime bouquet at the feet of an actress,
the fattery has lost its charm by its frequency.
Often this season we have seen a peck of flowers
on the floor at once. So long as dansenses are
tolerated, we wish to give them fair field and a
safe floor. Mile Hlarot in the early part Of the
season, met with severe accident, which confined
her to her for several days. Now, for our
own part, we do not care how soon these "foreign
graees are banished from the stage; but, while
they the attractions, it is duty, as gallant
gentlemen, to protect them.
We publish to-day, with great pleasure, COM
munication from a gentleman of taste, who advo-
Gates the claims of Miss Melville. This young
lady made her debut here this season, without the
usual heralding and, considering the many disad-
vantages she had to contend against her proficiency
| has been remarkable. Many of the ha6itaes oil
Placide's will concur in the wish Of Sheridan -
that the manager will give her an opportunity to
appear in characters of higher grade than she
has heretofore performed, At her benefit she will
receive substantial proof that her efforts to please
1 have not been overlooked.

TAoKING. p Iacktng is nautical term il is
also a parliamentary term. Mr.. Benton, in the
United States Senate, strongly objected to the
tacking of the Territories on to the bill for the ad
mission of California. To this Mr.. Clay replied
that lacking" was not applicable to parliament
tary law in this country In the United States
parliamentary law there was no such thing known
as tacking in the English sense of the term.
facking, as understood in the British Parliament,
was very different thing from the union of such
bills as was now proposed. He explained tacking
as understood in England, to be as follows: All
money bills-bills of supply, etc-originate in the
House OF Commons, and when they are carried up
to the Lords, they must be taken as they came
from the Commons, or rejected. The Lords have
no power to change or amend such bills, but must
pass or reject them as they come up from the Com
mons. The Commons, knowing that certain mea-
sures which they desire cannot pass the Lords.
sometimes tack one of them to a money bill. and
thus force the Aristocracy and the Lords to grant
concessions to the Commons or not receive the
supplies. The Crown must also take the bills as
they come from the Commons. Hence, when the
Commons desire some measure favorable to liberty
and the people, they tack it to a money bill, and
force the Lords and the Grown to swallow both or
receive no money.
