TELEGRAPHlC INTELLIGENCE.


WashlngSon. after the Night Session.
There Is little doubt that the course of events
has been foreshadowed by the extraordinary cha
racter Of the proceedings In the House Of Repre-
sentatives, with respect to Mr.. Doy's resolution.
delay of certain kind has been occasioned;
but there will be no delay In the " talkee-talkee
on the state of the Union. After Mr.. Little6eld
yesterday endeavored to introduce bill to stop
the sale of intoxicating drinks, which seem
to have serious effects In high as well as
low places. the whole of the public time was
occupied by several speakers, in stating what
all the world knows, and NO one wishes to
know more about. Mr.. Venable went through
the old stereotyped story-would not swallow
gilded pills-and did not wish the North
to drive the South to extremes. We suppose
ne meant extremes of latitude-or latitudina-
ran extremes. Mr.. Campbell replied, made
hit, and gave place to Mr.. McLanahan, who spoke
sensibly till the House adjourned
Mr.. Downs, in the Senate, INDUCED in fight Of
sophlstlcal learning upon statistics, not one single
part of which has the least semblance to an argu-
ment. The statistics of poverty in New York are
The statistics of old countries They do not belong
to US. The great centre of commerce-the megl-
polls of the country, necessarily becomes the home
of tens of thousands of emigrants, whose poverty
and destitutlon are to be charged not to ourinstu
tons or to any want of parental soicitude upon the
part Of the State, but to inevitable circumstances
The South knows and feels nothing of this. New
York merits extraordinary praise for her generosity
and kindly splritto the unfortunate. There Is not
a town in Great Britain that would not send the
wandering poor back upon their own parish but
we not only tolerate their presence. but feed and
clothe these exiles, and put them in the way Of
understanding our institutions, and Of gaming
livelihood. Crime Is the offspring of an over.hur-
red population. 1t does not spring, as Mr.. Downs
seems to intimate, from any want of care upon the
part of our rulers.
On the whole, the debate, if 1t may be dgni6ed
by such term, in both branches Of Congress yes
terday, amounted to nothing 1t was to all intents
and purposes, day lost Had Mr.. Llttlefed's
bill not met with objections, the temperance people
might have had something to console themselves
with; but as it was, there was absolutely nothing
accomplished, beyond the pouring out of wishy-
washy speeches, and we presume, Of the usual
quantity of mixed liquors. Such is legislation at
Washington.

The New York herald., 1850-02-20

The PHENOMENA OF New York THEArRIcALs.
We don't believe there Is city In the world like
New York city, for theatrical life and prosperity.
We have seven theatres in this city, and night
after night all of them are filed, overHowngly fill
ed, from top to bottom, from pit to gallery, and
numbers, who come late, are obliged to retire with
out obtaining entrance This rush Is particularly
the case with some of the most popular, on special
evenings, when some great attraction is announced;
while generally, every night they are all OF them
well filled. How is this phenomenon to be ac-
counted for, because phenomenon it Is; it beats
Paris, Vienna, and Berlin, all hollow.
We have four theories on which to account for
this wonderful sight, and they are the following
lst Our people In this goodly city are doing well,
and are prosperous. 2dly. Our people are passion
ately fond of theatrical entertainments and drama
tic exhibitions. Sd. Our managers and actors are
skilful enterprising, and the best Of their kind.
4th. The system Of low prices, like the English
penny post system, has augmented the consump.
ton in geometrical ratio.
We are inclined, however, TO believe, on further
reflection, that these causes operate IN combina-
ton, that they are all necessary, to produce the
effect We witness; that none Of them, separately,
would be of force, and if any one was taken away,
the others would not produce it. If the people
were not prosperous ii they did not love the dra-
ma-and il the drama was not made to suit their
taste, and if the price of admission was not very
low, they would not flock to the theatres as they
do. Thus, all these causes unite, and combine to
produce the effect. There Is another cause, which
we have not classified with the great causes, be-
cause 1t Is only adjuncuve and auxiliary-we mean
the aflux OF visters from all parts of the Union,
travellers and business men, continually coming to
and going from New York, who pay the theatres
a passing visit on their trip.
We have now noticed the fact, and then Its
proximate and producing causes; let us briefly ad-
vert to the effects of this existence of things.
The effects are generaly-speaking Of things as
they are, and ef society as it Is constituted-hap-
py, pleasing and commendabe. An immense
number Of persons hereby obtain livelihood; an
immense sum OF money is daily drawn into circu-
lation, which would otherwise slumber idly and
unkindy in the cautious pocket and last not least
many idle minds are pleasingly occupied, ration
ally entertained, and even sometimes instructed,
who, if pent up in stuff constraint In some "serious
family" would be meditating malice and brooding
over spte utteriDg scandal, or looking daggers at
their fellow creatures, working up bad blood, or
medltating dark and sinister schemes, instead Of
laughing TILL their sides crack, or weeping till the
tears run, and then gong home, after some hours
of good humor, to sleep with consciences far less
polluted than if they had been fomentng secret
passions, nursing selfish, austere feelings, on the
silent and solemn benches Of conventicle.
