Defer &c of the Stage.
We learn from the Hartford Co1ant, that the
Common Council of that city, on Monday evening
last refused. by close vote, to license theat rica
exhibitions. In recent article, we adverted to a
singular petition got up to induce that body to
pursue the course they have adopted and expressing
strong opinion that the representation of the drama
ought rot to be permitted in the State of Connect
cut In publishing this strange document We briefly
alluded to its arguments and alleged facts, and We
promised to return to the subject when space would
permit in order to show that the authorities pro.
duced were misquoted, and to adduce authorities OF
our own to prove that the theatre has always been
regarded by the best and wisest Of mankind, not
only as no evil in itself, but, when properly con-
Quoted, asa source Of innocent amusement, highly
important in social point Of view, and . aschoo,
OF morals, often more efectual than the pulpit it.
ei-ineulcating lessons Of high virtue, inspiring
ortitude ard courage by example, lettering from
crime and folly by their fatal consequences, and
cfectuay warning the inc srenced against falling
into those errors and mistakes which, though not Of
dangerous character, cause great amount Of
temporary suffering and annoyance to their victims
We take this opportunity Of reverting to the whole
question, and feel ashamed that any body of men in
this enlightened country, and AZ this advanced
stage OF civilization, could be guilty Of such blind
bigotry and fanaticism.
The end aud purpose Of the stage is, in the Ian
gusge Of Shakespeare, "to hold the mirror up to
nature; to show virtue her own feature, soorn her
own image, and the very age and body Of the time
his form and pressure" Being o representation Of
life, like history, it blends instruction with enter.
tanment in shape most likely to strike the mind,
affect the imagination, and make q lasting i'm
preston That plays have been written, particu-
larry comedies, which have no. moral tendency,
but the reverse, is readily admitted But that Is no
moro an argument against the representation Of
plays of different description, than case OF poison
ing would be against the use Of medicine or the
exercise of the healing art.
Plays are good or bad as they us'd,
And beet inventions often abus'd

City RAILRoADs.-The mania Of building rail-
roads through the city Of New York has at present.
attained to such height that we may expect, Ia
year two to rails laid down ia every prnei-
pal street and avenue Of the metropolis and it re-
qures great stretch Of foresight calculate that
ere long the omnibuses will entirely disappear,
and only be thought Of things Of the past. There
at the present day, only three city railroads in
operation, viz.:-the Harlem line, through Centre
street and Bowery to Twenty. seventh street; the
Sixth Avenue Railroad, via West Broadway, Canal,
and varick streets t. Forty fourth steeet and the
Eighth Avenue Railroad to Forty. eighth street
besides the Hudson River line. But a great variety
of projects for building new railroads through the
city have come up recently before the Common
Council, and have made more or less progress in
that body. The following have been partially acted
on in that Board
The Broadway Railroad, from the Battery 70 Harlem
The Second Avenue Railroad to Harlem.
The Ninth Avenue Railroad which is proposed to occupy
route lightning at the Intersection Of Fifty first street.
to Hudson streot-where there is to be but .
single racfon to Bank street and through to Green
Alec, another track through Ninth avenue, TO aud
through Ganseyoort to Greenwich street thence TO Bank
street and thence-bch racks-slopg Greenwich street
to Battery place.
Exclusive OF these numerous projects, on which
action has been taken, several others have been pro-
posed. AT q late meeting Of the Board Of Alder
men, petition was received asking the privilege Of
building railroad in the following streets, viz
Commencing at the intersection Of Christopher street
and Greenwich avenue, running through Greenwich
and Seventh avenues to Harlem river, returning
through Seventh avenue, Hammond and Washington
streets to the Battery; from thence through Wash
ington and Christopher streets to the place Of begin
ming. Another petition was also received for the
privilege Of constructing railroad commencing at
the Houston street ferry, running up Houston street,
with double track, to and through Second street,
across the Bowery to and through Bond street to
Broadway, down Broad street, with a single
track, to and through Dey street, and to and
through Greenwich street TO Cortlandt street,
thescs with double track to the Jersey City ferry
returning up through Cortlandt street with single
track, from turn at Greenwich street, to and
through Broadway, with single track, in ccnbeo
ton with the Broadway Railroad. A petition was
also rcceivedfor leave to lay railway in avenue c.
from Fourteenth street through to avenue d; also,
through East Broadway and other streets, through
to TIyon row; and two petitions for permission to
construct o railroad from Harlem river, through
Third avenue, Bowery, and Chatham street, to the
lower end Of the Park. A report from the Board
