n width. the largeet theatres in Paris an The prescenium view is eatie y « {ferent from 4 Be lio. that of any cther theatre in America, On each \ In tdensompoct % will be similar to someof fummy ot the Broadway as thoy probably were at tbe Olympic, London. Miss How- ard made a clever Ganem, and looked easy in be« Greek tanic and stik tights. She sang side there are eight private boxes—two to a story. | the introduced songs with capita effec. Mrs. Na The fronts of these boxes will be magnifi emtly de- | gle dressed, looked and acted very prettily as fe- corsted, and the eff.ctwill be weighty, unless re- lieved by the lightness of the decorations: The tush. ‘he author of “the Miller of Derwent” has Managed to make out of the time-honored materists ensemble of these ‘boxes is striking, sad the great , of a brken down poor father, a cast iroa rich one, width of the stage se'ves to relieve the massive | two lovers, a pert cbambermaid and a clownish effect which woald otherwise be produc: d. The front of the second tie will be supported by carzatides, east in plaster and @aisbed in white and . These are now being cast in the theatre. | The fronfs are decorated in beautifat panel work, white snd gold, with alternated viches, in which Will be placed Cupidoes in bas-relief. ‘The pillars supporting the third tier are Corin- with beautifully modelled caps, representing and flowers. These are finished in white and gold, The chandeliers are of an entirely new pattern, cast for this theatre. They are similar in design to the column caps just noti.ei. The deco rations of the front of the third tier are similar to thoge of the second, with the exception of the niches between the panels, in which are placed harps, in besrelief. The effect of the de corations will undoubtedly be magnificent by geslight. Even in their unfinished state, and by the dim light which was vouchsafed to us, the eye was fully gratified, In the rear of the second tier are twenty-two pr'- vate boxes, after the same fashion as those lately introduced at Niblo’s. The dome extends over the house without supporting pillars, and is soexcelleat sounding board that a w'isper on the stage can be distinctly heard on the back seats of either tier. ‘The walls on the interior of the building, behind tie boxes and galleries, will be liced with boards, a plan which experience tas proved increases, while it mellows, the volume of sound. The house will be lighted by four hundred chandeliers. Five hua- dred lights will also be placed on the edge of the dome and reflect rays upon the house below. The new Music Hall at Boston is lighted in this manner, and the effeot is very fine. One of the most important improvements noticed by our reporter in this house is the atten- tion paid to the comfort of the audience. The chairs measure two feet by thirty-one inches; the vision will be uninterrupted in all parta of the theatre, and the plan for ventilation is an excellent one. A hotair chamber with numerous pipes or conductors running from it to various parts of the house, will be constructed in the roof, and these, acting as force pumps on the lo ver stratum of air, will cause a constant agitation of the atmosphere in all parts of the house. The impure air will bo drawn up through the hot air chamber, while its place will be supplied with a constant stream of fresh air flow- ing in through the windows, doors, and the ventila- tors in the roof and cornices of the building. The lobbies all through the house are capacious, | and on each tier there are convenient retiring rooms, cloak rooms, 4c. Water ia conveyed throughout the house, and as a security agalost fire two im- mense reservoirs are placed over the dome, and so arranged that a flood of water could be poured over the house at any moment. Water closets will be found coutiguous to every lobby. The main saloon is fifty-four feet in length and twenty in wiith. The stucco work on the ceiling is the finest we have ever seen. ‘The view of the house from the second tier, even now and by daylight, is the finest we have ever gazed upon.” Thé unique ani beautiful dec orations— the maasive proscenium, with the spacious private ~ boxes—the noble parquette—the beautifal dome—all relieved and softened by the immense size of the house—make up a view almost enchanting. The precautions which have been tsken to secure the audience against fire cannot be tco warmly com- mended. A largeiron screen or curtain will be placed immodiately bebind the proscenium, and will be 59 constructed that it can be let dowa in less than half a minute, thus cutting off ail communication with the body of the house. Thus, if a fire should hap- Dén to hraak out on the stage. the andienca neacov the orchestra will have time to escape before the fiames can reach them. As the spread of fire among ‘the scenery would be too rapid to render this plat completely effectual, a regular net work of perfo- | rated pipes has been placed over the stage, so that when necessary a perfect deluge of water can be rained down upon all parts of it at once. The gallery staircases are of iron, and divide the front of the house from the stage—another use- ful precaution. They are cylindrical in form, and guarded by strong iron railings dr banisters, while the walls are constracted of Gre proof materials, and are three feet thick. ‘The stage is seventy feet deep ang eighty-thres fest in width, and is modelled after the French style. The manner of working the scenery differs from the English and American plan, avd no grooves are need for the support of the wings. Only two sets of wings are used. One is ready to go on when the ecene is changed; and thus unfortunate mistakes by scene shifters cannot occur. The canvass is move- able, and the frame of the wing is clothed with the scene which is desired. The wings are supported from belew, and work without noise or difficalty. The main scenes are drops, no flate being used, and thus the whole stage can be cleared in a very short space of time. The green room will be situated on the left side of the stage, and the drawing rooms on te right. ‘These wiil be fitted up with more neatness than is generaliy bestowed on suchapartments. The paint shops for the preparation of the scenery are lo- cated on the same aide with the drawiag rooms, | and arranged to suit the peculia: mode in which the Ttelian, German and English scene painters perform thelr work, Theie is, we are informed, a great | { difference in this respect between the a1 tists of dif- | ferent nations; for while the Itaiins paint their scenery standing against the wall,in an upright po- sition, the Germans and English both paiat it as it lies on the ground, The dress ng rooms are forty in number, and situated on either side of the stage. They aro light, airy and comm dious apartments. The proscenium is twenty-seven feet deep. Tae great depth given to this part of the stage is to prevent the sound from reflecting, thus obviating ove of the p:incipal defects which exist insome of out public buildinge. Tho stage itself is seventy feet in depth and one hundred and fifteen feet wide. The scenio artist, Mr. Allegri, has painted the mest beautifal dome ever execated, ani the figures of the musea of Tragedy, Comedy, Music, Dancing, and Poetry, are capitally done. We have thus given a description of an inspection { ef thia sew Opera House. There are many ramors | aflost relative to its opening, bat the best informed ‘uthorities think there is no doabt that Mr. Maret- zek witl open it in October.

But whether the | speculation turns out a successful one or nxt, there cam be no dispute about the beanty of the house, and it deserves the highest com nendation. ene 2 DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL GoOssIP.

The Atias, of Tuesday, says:— The tew company appeared on Monday evening to a much better aucience than might have becn ex- pected. There was none of the usual heralding which prececes the advent of a new troupe, ard consequently our poblic were not only inclined to wait for the re,crts of those who might go, but were, to a great degree, ignorant of the tact that a real Italian opera or was to ao on tha: evening.

A large and bril- liant assemblage of laiies was also present.

Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, they upjustifiably risked the lives of the passengers inyso City 8 collision having actually occurred du- ring the nig ht, in consequence of the disabled con- dition of the vessel. Resolved, That they had no right to detain pas- senges in this manner when they could have landed them or transferred them to the steamboat Troy, which came to our assistance, and that having re- fazed to land so aa to afford passengers an op or- tunity to obtain food aud attend to their business in New York, they have rendered themselves entirely unworshy of ic confidence and support, and are ee jose sustained by the delay thas occa- ed. Resolved, That the manner in which Captain A. P. St. John has acted deserves especial censure, he that be doubted the ability of the boat to reach New York, at the time that the vessel was off Albany, and treated a written request pergeere signed by the paseengers,) to laud at Cold Spring with contempt and derisioa. Resolved, That ‘we advise all Western pa<sen, net to purchase tickets to come down the river from Albany by the People’s line of steamboats.
