The ALBANY LoBBY-With the democrats In
possession ofthe Assembly and the republicans
in occupation Of the Senate at Albany there
are some innocent people who. perhaps, think
that the lobby jobs and jobbers oSeach will be
neutralized by the jobbers and jobs of the
other, SO that this Legislature will be without
much profit to the lobby on either side, and
that accordingly the taxpaying people will
have occasion to be thankful. We fear, how.
ever, that all such estimates Of the new Legis-
laturc will prove delusive in the course OF fve
or six weeks The Albany lobby believes
that every lawmaker at Albany, republican or
democrat has his price, and If ii can be paid
and still leave good margin of profit to the
lobby the man Is bought BY way Of illustra-
tion, If there is greenhorn who supposes tha.
the ascendancy Of Tammany in the Assembly
kills of the Broadway Surface Railroad job, let
him wait little, till the lobby gets its machinery
adjusted, and he will be wiser man.

What Our Amusemcnts Cost.

A single glance at the internal revenue
returns Of the metropolitan theatres for the
past year, which we publish in another column
item OF expenditure amusements are, and what
LIBERAL steady patrons they find among us
Three million dollars only represent the
amount OF money paid for admission to the
theatres, but three times that sum would not
be sufficient to show the other expenses, both
Of manager and audience, connected with
amusements. First, the manager has to engage
large number of employees besides the regu-
lar company, and before piece Of any note
is placed on the stage hundreds OF dollars
must be spent for scenery, dresses, music, &C.
In the case Of q spectacle and ballet like the
"Black Crook" the expenses are, Of course,
doubled. Amusements cost tho audience far
more than the mere price of admission. Car
riage hire, supper, special toilet for the
theatre, and numberless little items OF expense
known to theatre-goers may be inciaded In
the bill when gentleman accompanies lady
to place Of amusement The receipts of the
New York theatres for the last year far exceed
those Of London or Paris Twenty-Five estab-
lishments in New York and its suburb, Brook
lyn, return over three million dollars as their
receipts. Niblo's seems to have made, from
single spectacle, double the amount of money OF
any Of the other tbeatres--a striking comment

their totals. The fall and winter season,
despite the stagnation OF business, exhibits an

The New italian Cabinet.

fortune The most that can be said with
safety is that the choice lay between Menabrea
and Ratazzi, and that Menabrea means peace
and Ratazzi means war. Menabrea Is as
anxious that Rome should become the capital
Of Italy as Ratazzi is or can be but the former,
much as he wishes that Italy were one and
indivisible, breads open collision with France,
and prefers to await the issQe of events /;
whereas the latter, impatient Of oil delay and
Indignantly opposed to all interference, would
give expression to the popular will fearless of
France or Of any other foe. Menabrea in
power means that the Italian government hopes
for the settlement of the Roman question BY
moral rather than by material means Ra.azzi
in power means that the Roman question must
be settled, by moral suasion If possible, by
material force il necessary, but by all means
settled Menabrea in office has saved Italy
from war Ratazzi in Office would by this time
have set Europe ablaze. 1t is OF course a
question to which different minds will return
different answers, which of the two men Is
better suited to the occasion. We are willing
to accord to Ratazzi bravery, although we
cannot acquit him of rashness but Menabrea
we cannot refuse to credit with both wisdom
and caution. Let us hope that Italy may
obtain Rome without further bloodshed
