The grand theatrical campaign in New York
was fairly opened last night. The Shak-
spearian revival, SO eagerly expected, began at
Wallacks with ''Much Ado About Nothing"
and will be continued on Wednesday evening
at Booths superb new theatre with "Romeo
and Juliet" The Legitimate" thus moves
solidly to the 'front.' Meanwhile the spectacu-
lar and the burlesque hold their own at more
than dozen theatres. OpSra ,bou6e, which
may be defined as double-distilled and refined
negro minstrelsy, s'done into French" relgns
in la Perichole," at Fisk's Grand Opera
House, and yesterday evening it took fresh
lease Of life at Grau's French theatre in the
first representation Of s'La Fleur de The, with
Its Ohenbacchanalian music by Lecocq and
with all its grotesque and whimsical clsSn0ise-
rses. Lydia Thompson's burlesque troupe made
its first appearance at Niblos' last night in the
gorgeous Oriental extravaganza of ''The Forty
Thieves" A grand spectacular drama was, as
usual, on the programme at the Bowery.
Lingard and his company did the burlesque at
the Theatre Comique. Eye Field of ye Cloth
of Gold" glittered at Woods Museum.
Brougham's theatre offered almost as many
varieties of entertainment as The Tammany.
Owens comedies were powerful attraction
at the Broadway, and all the theatres in
town, major and minor, were fully thronged.
The internal revenue reports have testified
so clearly to the immense receipts of almost
every New York theatre during the present
season that the self-constituted patrons of
Italian opera have been stimulated to
attempt to revive it. But they. seem
to have forgotten that it is utterly
impossible to revive Italian opera with
out securing the highest operate talent.
The attempt will be ridiculously futile unless
such artists as Nilsson and Patti shall be
secured at any cost. The only really sue
cessful opera manager in this country was
Senor Marty, from the Tacon theatre, at
Havana. Originally fisherman, he knew
well how to spread his nets. He began his
managerial career by enlisfing tie services Of
two first class artists The merited success
which he won encouraged him subsequently to
engage four artists of the same high order.
With them he soon amassed a fortune large
enough to justify him in extending his opera
tons to the United States, and here he became
q millionaire, thanks to his recognition Of the
fact that the musical public will pay literally
only for the very best talent. Is there no one
among our railway kings bent on rushing into
opera who will be shrewd enough to profit by
Senior Martyrs example and 60 and do like
wise? If not the revival of grand Italian
opera in New York must still be indefinitely
postponed.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES. -There are a
great number of bogus stockjobbing concerns
in this city which prey upon the credulity OF
the people and plumber them to the extent Of
millions annually. Among the most prominent
and the most dangerous are the life insurance
companies. We intend on some future day TO
exhibit the inside workings Of these concerns
and let the public see where their money goes,
who reap the profits and who gather in the
benefits.

Nicely Balanced.

In the tightrope organ Of the radicals in this
city we find an article on Grant and the Cabi-
net makers that We look upon as one of the
finest things in modern literature 1t comes
out splendidly for Grant and decides off-hand
that he has an absolute, indefeasible, inalien-
able, indisputable right to be advised and to
choose his own advisers-that is, make his
own Cabinet. 1t 10 s'narrow-minded and igno-
rant selfshness" for others to hold that they
know, how to suit Grant with Cabinet better
than he can suit himself. This is admirable,
positive, clear, and will please Grant; it will
also please the supporters of Grant in Con-
gress, ssif any he has,"
The same article also comes out in the finest
possible terms for those who want to make
Grants Cabinet, states their case with feici-
tous perspicuity and demonstrates in the most
convincing and even irresistible manner that it
is blockheaded obstinacy and impudence for
Grant to think Of choosing his own Cabinet,
and declares explicitly that if he attempts this
he must be put down and consigned
at once to that limbo in which
John Tyler and Andy johnson will
forever humble political rubbish. ssThe
government Of this country" says the organ,
lis party government, one in which the
wishes and views Of the dominant party must
control. No President, therefore, can hope
for success in carrying on its administration in
disregard of these views"
This will please the men who want to make
Grants Cabinet; and as the men who want to
make that Cabinet and the men who want
Grant to make it constitute nearly the whole
American people, it is at once obvious that
everybody will be pleased. Trulyit is rare
gift to be master Of style that can thus make
all men happy.

Murders and Robberies-A Public Meeting
Demanded.
What can be done to check the dreadful in

Where shall we look for relief?
Who is responsible?
These are questions that demand serious
attention and speedy answers, and the promi-

ANOTHER BANK ROBBERY There Is a
great noise made in the city papers about .
man having been robbed Of ten thousand
dollars and diamonds at faro bank on Broad
way. Is this an occurrence to make a noise
over? We had supposed this was the natural
order Of business in such places. There is,
however, something little odd in the game
in the present case. The robbers tied the man
and gagged him so that he was absolutely
helpless, but as soon as they were gone away
with his money he united himself like one Of
the Davenport brothers and went and told the
police. Men might account for the absence Of
q great deal OF money In that way.

Observation-Disclosures IL Goes To-The
South All Behind.

Last year there arrived at the port OF New
York 2l3, 6Se emigrants. As nearly all the
emigrants to this country arrive here this
gives us correct idea of the stream OF immi-
grafton for 1868. The number is not quite as
large as in some previous years, but the stream
is steady and continuous and will increase, no
doubt, with the progress Of the country and as
our domestic troubles resulting from the war
become settled. Nearly half the emigrants
were from Germany, not quite fourth from
Ireland, over twenty nine thousand from Eng
land, and upwards of fourteen thousand from
Sweden. Relatively immigration from Ger
many and England is on the increase. Ac-
cording to record kept at the Bureau, Castle
Garden, the destination of these immigrants
was chiefly to the West, if we except the sixty
five thousand set down for New York, all OF
whom did not, however, remain here. Over
thirty-four thousand went to Illinois, sixteen
thousand to Wisconsin, eleven thousand to
Ohio, and so on throughout the West. The
South is all behind, for very few immigrants
go there, and yet there is no part of the United
States where better opportunities are afforded
to get good wages, to acquire property and to
be prosperous generally, while the climate is
far superior to that of the Western States.
The truth is the people of Europe and those of
them who emigrate are prejudiced against the
South, and are ignorant Of the advantages
there. The Western States have had agents
in Europe and at this port to represent
in glowing colors the opportunities for doing
well in the West. The railroad companies to
and in that section have done the same. In
this way the stream has been kept steadily
running in that direction. But who has spoken
for the South? What agents haye enlightened
the immigrants about the rich soil, fine climate,
cheap lands and abundant natural resources
of the South? What railroad companies have
endeavored to turn the current that way? The
South, with all its superior advantages, is far
behind. It should have agents both here and
scattered about Europe to represent the facts,
and should make bold and persevering effort,
to draw portion at least of the annual tide
of immigration to its prolific territory. There
never was better time than the present to
make their efforts for slavery is extinguished,
land is very cheap and the Southern people
everywhere earnestly desire immigrants from
both the North and Europe.

The Bell Tower.

1.-THE following note from one of the committee IN
response to an inquiry made last week. shows that
the delay in the erection of the tower has been owing
to causes wholly unavoidable, and not from Jack OF
assistance from the citizens of Honolulu, as intimated
in last weeks Gasette:1
To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser:
{ S1R:-In your last paper you inquire why the
Bell Tower has not been erectedr In reply l would
say that the tower is all ready to be put up. and
would have been erected some weeks since, only that
there was some mistake in the foundation. This
caused a delay, and the carpenter, Mr.. Renton, being
under an engagement to erect 3 sugar mill at Lahaina,
we have been compelled to await his return, to COM
plete the tower, which We hope will be very soon.
= Feeling that every subscriber and every citizen has
q right to know the reason why its erection has been
delayed 80 long, is my apology for requesting you to
give this a place in your paper.

A CALIFORNIA AND AUSTRALIAN STEAM LINE
Since the opening of the overland route TO the
Pacific the traffic Tid the Isthmus has. Of course.
materially decreased. The San Francisco Price
Current attributes a great deal of this to the exor-
bitant charges Of the Panama Railroad COMPANY.
Be the cause what it may, the result to the Pacific
Steamship Company of the falling of of business
cannot but diminish the usefulness OF their steam.
fleet. 1t comprises q large number of nrst-class
vessels, specially adapted for the Pacific business.
AS the overland route will probably absorb. II not
all the trade, at least too much for a steam line to
be remunerative, and necessarily resulting in its
on the Australian route? We published a short
time back the earnest desire shown, not alone by
the Australians, but by the Inhabitants of the
important islands in the Pacific for steam comnu-
nication with San Francisco The Hawaiians. the
Fejee islanders. and the Caledonia islanders. are
all ardently DESTROYS of it. and are willing TO give
a bounty and establish mail contracts for q regular
service between these ports, making San Francisco
and Sydney the terminal ports. 1t would seem as
though an economically conducted company could
make it pay. There are q large number OF arrivals
at San Francisco from Australia yearly. In fifteen
years the trade has amounted to $4,000, 600, and
is increasing. Then the export trade Of the Pacific
islands is far from inconsiderable, as we exhibited
in q previous article. This would develop by
encouraZ cement, and as q not inconsiderable emil
grafton has taken place into the Fejee and other
islands lately. from Europe, a great impetus will
be given to the productive capacities Of these
places. A mail contract could also most probably
be got from our Government, which altogether
might leave q sufficient margin for the support of
a steam line carefully managed. At least it could
hardly pay worse than allowing the vessels to rot
idly at their docks.-N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
