FOREIGN THEATMCALS IN New YORK
Among the many cosmopolitan features of this
city, none is more strikisg than the number Of
theatres where plays are performed in foreign
tongues. AS one walks up the Bowery he may
count as many as four establishments where
theatrical performances are regularly given in
the German language; and as further novelty,
il will be noticed that these theatres are opened
on Sunday evenings, nominally for sacred"
concerts. Plays, however, are sandwiched be-
tween the efforts of the fiddlers and the exer-
lions Of the barkeepers. One of these theatres
Hoyms-has just been erected at considerable
expense and furnished with good actors. All
these establishments seem to be well conducted.
and may be philosophically defended on the
ground that they keep people out of mischief,
and likewise afford a good school for the
students of German. We are sorry that we can
not say as much for the English theatres.
Our French residents are not so willing to
pay for their amusements as the Germans. We
have had from time to time small French CON-
panies migrating from place to place, playing
vaudevilles very well, but altogether unable to
give even fair performance Of comedies and
dramas.
Several efforts have been made TO establish a
regular French theatre here. After the depar-
ture Of Mile. Rachel, who had, all things con-
sidered, wonderful degree of pecuniary sue.
cess in this city, her sister, Mile. Sarah Felix,
waited upon the principal French merchants Of
the city, and proposed TO establish an opera
aud comedy company at Niblos. But the
figures were pretty high, and the merchants did
not manifest that alacrity in coming down with
the funds that Mile. Sarah had expected. This
enterprise was abandoned, and we hear no more
of French theatre until the enterprising Mr..
Strakosch arrived from New Orleans with two
Of the principal artists OF Mr.. Boudoisque's
company-Mme. Colsan, prima donna, and NJ.
Junca, a primo Jasso. With this nucleus Of
company Mr.. Strakosch made proposals 10 Mr..
Niblo, which were condtionally accepted. Mr..
Strakosch then sailed for France, TO engage
srtsts for the comic opera and vaudevillcs
which IL il purposed to give at the Garden in
September next. The names Of Niblo and
Strskosch give to this project that air of sta
bility which lite predecessors lacked, and with
which il would apparently command success.
While these negotiations were going on, VI.
Thiery, very good French actor, who had
been successful in San Francisco, where the
French theatre was permanent affair for seve-
raj seasons arrived 10 New York with
small company. He has given fifteen or
twenty representations. which have been
highly successful, both In an artistic and
pecuniary point Of view. This manager now
proposes TO bring out from France first class
company, provided he can obtain sufficient
amount of money wherewith to pay the ad-
vanced salary required by the artists, and 70
defray the expense Of their passage to this port
This money he purposes TO raise By subscrip-
lions, to be repaid 10 tickets TO the perform
ances The locale Of The theatre isto be the Metro.

THE TAXPAYERS PARTY MovNG.-We learn
with considerable pleasure that the taxpayers of
the Twenty-first ward have organized a Tax
payers Association" which already numbers
over two hundred bona Jfde paying members, and
which number is increasing daily. 1t is not the
intention of the Association to hold any meet
ings until it counts at least five or six hundred
members, which it undoubtedly will do as soon
as many of the residents of the ward now in the
country return to towa. We have the circular
of the Association before us, in which we find
its object stated thus -
And the purposes this society shall be 70 exercise all
our influence independent Of party politics. TO procure
the nomination candidates 10 the various Offices in the
gift OF the people, Of but respectable tax paying c
zeps; and should be foled In attempt, then TO
nominate the candidate ourselves and independent
"Tsxpayers Ticket and do all in our power 70 insure
ts success 1t the polls.
This is the proper way to correct the abuses
of the city government, and we hope the tax
payers of every ward in the city will form SINH
lar associations, which can all labor together az
unit in the great work Of reform before them

politan Music Hall in Broadway, opposite the
hotel of the same name. Should the money be
raised M. Thiery will sail for Havre on Satur-
day next. and promises to commence operations
here in September.
1t is not our purpose just now to do more
than to put upon record the facts concerning
the above named enterprises, and to with them
both success The agitation of the subject
proves that the public is ready for good
French theatre and opera house; and as another
proof of the metropolitan character of the city,
it is good sign. We may say in passing, how
ever, that the subscription system rarely works
we'll People cannot be expected to pay for a
thing before they get it, and at any rate their
hesitation to invest money in an uncertainty is
quite natural. When manager begins his ca
reer with heavy debt, his ruin is almost GER
tain to result The argument that the debt is
to be liquidated with tickets is plausible, but
fallaciow; for it is to the holders of the tickets
issued in advance he would look, under other
circumstances, for the bulk of his paying au-
dience. However, the public has become pretty
well used to ruined managers, and 80 they get
their amusements care little whether or not q
hecatomb of directors are slaughtered in front
Of their own fOotliehts.
