New York, Dec. 31.—Tho story contained in, Gilbert and Sullivan's “Pirates of Penzance," thelr new opera, produced to-night nt the Fifth Avenue Thoutre, is now told for the first time. aA youth, {indentured to tho plrates, is about to be retenged, by tho expiration of his term, froin his apprenticeship, Ho declires it his duty to wayo war against thom when released, to which they, being tender-hearted and con- scientious pirates, quickly agree, beeing only that he will bo kind. A woman among the ple rites has, us she gays, won her middle-aged way to tho henrt of the youth; but, he, having scon no woman but her for yeurs, begs delay. At this Juncturo appears a morry plenty purty of sisters, some thirty trmumber, They think thoy will wade in tho water, and, while thking olf fhofr shocs and stockings, the young. pirate comes from his hiding-place, Ho wants to marry tho wholo lot.
