There are some changes in theatrical
affairs worth noticing. Booths Hamlet,
at Winter Garden, has reached It's fiftieth
night. This is certainly remarkable
run, but whether II has put money in
the purse of the management, or in the
purse especially Of Mr.. Booth, your cor
respondent would not like to hazard an
opinion. John Owens, at the Broadway,
il seems, is growing tired Of "Solon
Single" though | doubt If the public
are, Or they never would have "sat it
out" for one hundred and fifty nights
in succession. A hit of this kind is en-
tirely without precedent, | believe, in New
York thcatricals. Owens has only to
thank his own genius for il, and the adj
mirable tact Of his business agent, Mr..
Tayleurc. At the Olympic, Mrs. John
Wood is doing good business with
life IN Neao York, while Wallack's, as
usual, is prospecting with genteel comedy
and an occasional sensational drama.
The cheap theatres ON the east side of
the town arc INDUCING in the customary
blood and thunder, while Barnum, at
the Museum, is making the "judicious
grieve" by doing drama of the intense
spread eagle order, founded on the re-
bellion.
1.-The smallpox excitement is less
rampant to-day. The city inspector as
sures anxious inquirers that the disease
is on the decrease. In the Seventeenth
Ward, however, where the pestilence
prevails most extensively, folks do not
see it. In some localities they are talk
ing about boarding up the streets, SO as
to insure non.intercourse. between the
sick and the well. 1t will bea bad bust
ness if they have to resort to that extre-
nifty.
.sThe Chamber of Commerce here
does not believe in the wisdom of repeal
ing the reciprocity treaty with Canada.
At special meeting, this afternoon, Mr..
Bloodgood, from the special committee
appointed to consider the subject, said
they were not ready to report YET, but he
could not refrain from expressing his
conviction that Congress- had acted with
iniudicious haste in the matter. The
uppermost idea at Washington seemed
to be that the treaty was of greater adj
vantage to Canada than to u.s.. This, he
said, was not the case. The advantage
was all with u.s.. To the Canadians, it
was of comparatively little advantage.
"The subscriptions among the mer-
chants for the relief Of Savannah are
coming in freely. The total amount
already raised cannot be far short Of
thirty thousand dollars. The subscrip-
tons arc for almost every amount, from
twenty-five dollars to one thousand dol
lars.

Blunt says he is doing nothing. He says
the peace rumors are-destroying his bu-
siness, and he is not sure but that the
best thing he could do would be to shut
