Monroe street, late Sortt's Ampitheatre, hut

| TWEEN its proprietors and the 7;m<s and Herald
establishment made for the campaign one of the
| properties Of TINT concern.
The opening night has been extensively all
yertised. We have done the best in our humble
way to inform the people Of the attraction in
store, for we do not object 10 light entertain
ments appropriate 10 the hot seuson, and felt
| that there WAS every prapriety in The thus put.
ting upon the stage with the scenic effects Of
the same, the same Happy Family that hare
been in the show business, under adverse cir
cumstances, for several seasons past.
The Theatricai Democracy being duly und
newly equipped for the ceason of 1850, sent
throughout the city yesterday afternoon the
time honored Snowman dodge Of gaiIy painted
| band wagon, with placards, announcing grand
bill for the evening.
At the hour Of opeHli &. Dr. McVicker, as
Stage Manager, made his bow to the audience,
and in Z neat speech. RI hich nobody heard, in
| troduced tie performance.
Glancing about tho theatre, its properties aud
proprietozs, We saw prominently suspended

symbol Of the unhappy Little Dug. Some
Sign painter hns been 1T work at banner, aud
had not finished it. There appeared in the cen
tire Of white field half completed head Of
Dug, and the banner bore nausht else, either
letters or symbols, sace the very happy one Of
IN eagle, or perhaps buzza1d, in the same un-
happy state of incompleteness with the Little
Giant, since it appeared feebly aspping one
finished wing over Little Dug's head.

neutly bydrant; from the looks Of the crowd
last evening, il this latter had been opened, and
stream laid on, few present could have told
from personal acquaintance what the fluid

Seals were placed upon the stage for the no.
liabilities, members Of the stock company, what
few stars " could be got in, and, by the usual
courtesy, proprietors OF kindred Institutions
