ADJUSTMENTS.

FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE--''G OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Mile. Paola-Marie. Mile. Angelo and NJ. Capoul
are in the last week of their extended engagement
ut the Fifth Avenue Theatre. aud the final perform
ances are series of revvas of those operas OF their
repertoires which have been played since their
American debuts. Last night it was "Giroie-
Giroha." which sung merry and tunefully
as possible, and was acted with spirit in perfect
keeping with the bright crisp music of Lecocq.
The present opera bouffe at the Twenty
eighth street house will be pleasant one to look
back upon because of the excellence OF the artists
at the head of the troupe. tho merits of the
pany generally. and the rich aud tasteful setting
which the pieces have had at the hands of the
agenent. While the selections have all been good
there has been lack of novelty, which has been felt
by the patrons OF the house. and which has had
something to do perhaps with the late falling off in
the size OF the audiences. The new farces were suf
cien attraction for the first of the but later
less familiar works should have been produced
However, there il q supplementary season coming
and it is hardly to be expected that LA Grande
Duchcsse" and other comparatively ancient boune
music viii be relied on 10 carry the venture
in the company little is needed in the
way OF musical strength or physical grace; new
music Is wanted however. and the demand can be
readily supplied to the benefit OF the management
and the qualification Of the public II the director
will but do so.
The performance last evening even, excellent
and enjoyable possessing the better features noticed
heretofore on its first production by the present
company. and receiving in the acting additional
impetus. from the fact that it was the final per-
Torrance of 'Girof4-Girofa."
Tonight "Barbe Bleu'' will be sung.

In commenting editorially the land question

which has created considerable excitement. and has
evoked the displeasure OF the Bishop. who. it is un

that if he persisted in his advanced views of
Catholicism the paper would be denounced from the
pulpit The general bearing OF the article may be
understood from the following extract:--
ION the occasion Of well nigh all previous attempts
at getting themselves free from the heavy burdens
which they have been compelled to carry, the
peasantry or national party have had to contend
against the opposition Of the clergy. but in this
lahu agitation, Doom, seems 10 nave sprung
magically into existence and to have grown in
short time to an alarming magnitude. They have as
their leaders and speakers Catholic PRIESTS who are
cheering them on to victory DEATH. Never before
has an Irish priest been found performing that which
is pre-eminen.ly his duty. and for such his re-
ward will be much greater than II he spent his time

THE NEED OF NEW HOSE -DILAToRY CONDUCT
OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
NEWPORT, r. l., Nov. 4, 1879.
The Fire Department Of this place has been in need
of new hose for o long time, but owing to dead
look between the members OF the Board of Fire
wardens and the City Council, rather the Council
Committee on the Fire Department, the matter has
hung fire. II was confidently expected, owing to the
largo amount of property at stake that the question
would be amicably adjusted at the monthly meeting
of the Council to- night. but through the stubborn
ness Of certain members of that honorable body
It was laid over for another month. All the
members see the need OF newR3hose., but the
question simply hinges upon the Kind of hose to
purchase. IL is limited. that commission from the
seller of the hose Is the stumbling block. Both
sides charge that money is to be made in the trans
action, hence millions Of dollars worth of property
is jeopardized Ninetenths Of the taxpayers are
justly alarmed at the delay and denounce the action
of the Council in language more forcible than ele
CANT. The proposition to locate the hydrants on
bellevue avenue and other sections OF the city.
where large amount OF property belonging to the
summer residents is located. was also laid on the
table.
