The announcement at the head of their adver-

our columns once occupied by their advertise

twenty-five years gratuitously lent the aid and
influence Of our columns toward building up
theatres and making the fortunes of managers.
We have encouraged taste for theatrical
amusements among the people, and have done

MEssRs. HEALTH COMMISSIONERS, HURRY UP
YOUR WoRK.-While we are not disposed 10
be fault-Rnding and wish to give the Health
Commissioners due credit for what they have
done and are doing, we confess they appear to
take things too easy. To cleanse the city OF
New York properly is herculean task; but IL
can be accomplished, and for this purpose the
Health bill was passed and these Commission
ers appointed. The cholera is in the barbor
and hot weather has set in, and the work
must be done expeditiousy. A heavy respon-
sibility rests upon the Commissioners, and the
people will hold them accountable. We notice
piles Of filth and filthy streets still. Along the
North river in the upper part of the city, by
the track Of the Hudson River Railroad, the
stencil il so intolerable that the passengers on
the cars have TO press their handkerchiefs 10
their noees This, too, is in a thickly populated
part Of the city. II is really wonderful how,
with such filth and stencil, we have escaped the
cholera or some other fearful disease. Will the
Health Commissioners remove this vile and
dangerous nuisance at once! win they cleanse
the city thoroughly without delay They have
ample powers; and II FIVE thousand, ten thou
sand, twenty thousand men, or more, be needed
to do this, let them be employed. Messrs.
Health Commissioner hurry up your work.
The DurrEs or AMERICAN ARrrsrs.-There is
no class Of this great republican community
that can afford TO disregard the obligations due
to the honor, the integrity and the progress Of
the whole country. The republic has claim
upon ALL from the highest to the lowest. Ma
tional pride demands from every one some
sacrifice, imposes some tax upon sel6shncsS.
Our artists should not forget that there is some
thing more required Of them than personal
success or well acquired fortune. we-have
been gradually advancing for many years to-
wards good reputation In the school Of Amer
ican art We have sent good painters aud
sculptors abroad. and we have brought many
better ones home again. Thi. il encouraging (;
but the fact must not be los, sight OF that b.
