to a Close the wholesome exhortarions Of pious
parsons and the abnegati0ns OF piously inclined
citizens have had q direct and powerful influence
upon the theatres OF this city. Slim audiences have
been the rule during the past month, and more espe
cIay during the past week. at most OF the gorgeous
temples where Mepomene and Momls hold
sway, while the beautiful temples dediclted TO the
woI ship Of the Saviour OF mankind have been
densely thronged during the same time with
devout congregations making atoncment for
manifold slns Of omission ana commission, ana
imploring Divine protection and blessings for the
year to come. 1t was but reasonable to suppose
that those who had enjoyed themselves to their
hearts, content for one whole year would endeavor
to silence the prickngs OF their conscience by in
dulging during Holy Week at least, in fasting,
prayer and good works, as commanded OF them by
the doctrines Of their faith. Our managers one and
all took this into consideration and made no extra
ordinary effort to Ill their houses by Offering their
patrons new inducements IN the way or novelties,
