TIE OPERA AaAIN--THE PHuapEirs,AYs IN
DiGNANr--We had occaaicn last week, to give to
the PERSONS engaged in opera management here
BIZ OF advice, which il appears was no< at all
EalsssSe. A Philadelphia journal comes 70 tho
fescne-evidentiy az the organ OF AR. Ma-sha,l
ano MaAes rather q lame deierce, which we
give as length IN anetber place. Tbs ste4ergr,s
made by Our Poll adepba contemporary are two
in bunAbef. First, that The Opers pays in pails-
deiPhla and does net psy al the New YORK AGA
deny; end second, by consequence. that Mf.
Marshall VII have ootcing 70 do vita the New
Yes Academy, and hos rejected all overture.fos
any combination or compromise With the dsreo-
tore Of HAT house. Now, the truth isthst the
Philadelphia Academy was opened last yea- by
Ma-shaii, Maretzek and Paine, and excellent
performances were given at u discount of onc-
third OF the New Yof,a prices. What the result
Of The season was we know not, but we do know
that Er. Z. A. Marshall, Of Philade pha, appeal
ed to- New York for q complimentary benefit.
which he hal Al the Academy; Mr.. Ma,etzek 40

Paine resired from the affair il IL sid because
1t did not pay.
The idea that Me-. Mershall brings out sn Ops

rectors, the Marshall perty intend TO- try the
Opeia o. the Broadway theatre, and thus declare
open war. Iswin not DO 1t has been proved
several times that the Academy is tae only place
wbere the Opera can succeed for auy length OF
time. People so to the Academy as raueh to

place the scene Of grand aoi,se, and

as on the stage. There is no other theatre in
towa where the facilities for chow arc 90 Oreat
as at The Academy. Maretzek tried the Opera
at Nplos, but it WAS failure, even thai popq-
las house, and 1t 10 IDLE 10 suppose that it win
succeed ut the Broadway. IL IL very evident

The Philadelphia press is dclicousy pastoral

lumbers on Broad and Locust stree.s, dreaming
Of handsome tenors ana fat befitoacs.
Ii appears, however, thai there must DO a
quarrel. Marshall, Barry and MaSetxek will
have the Academy In Philadelphia, in which.
notwithstanding is great success, snares can &c

Of empty theatres to loo found. The managers
