Drawanic Avraorsaip—Excuvusive Riots or OwnersutP IN PLays.—Within the past two or three years dramatists have begun to flou- rish in America, and sundry comedies and dramas, the work of American authors, hive been produced. Some of these plays have been good enough to steal, and they have been stelen. Actors and actresses have had plays written for them to order, and their imitators have found means to possess themselves of copies. In some instances exclusive tran-la- tions and adaptations of French pieces have been made and sold to certain persons, when their rivals have procured and acted euch dramas without any ceremony. For instance, the drama of ‘The Foundling of Paris” is claimed by Mrs. A. F, Baker as her property— the translation having been made for her—but the same piece is played by Miss Dean, under the title of “The Belle of the Fau- bourg.”’ Again, Mre. Farren claims the sole right to play Mr. Weston’s Anglicised version of Victor Hugo’s “Lucrezia Borgia,” but it is played by several other persons. We believe that no one has ever attempted to steal “The Gladiator” and “ Metamora,” but that is accounted for by the fact that the public could not be made to believe that any actor, other than Mr. Forrest, could play the principal parts. We believe he is the only proprie- tor of plays that has mot suffered from pirates. The last case of this kind of piracy is th: appropria‘ion of a plag called “Camille.” Our readers will remember that Miss J. M. Daven- port played it for twelve nights at the Broad- way theatre, commeneipg on the 4th of Sep- tember iast. “Camille” is an adaptation of “La Dame aux Camelias,” a drama ia five acts written by Dumas, (fi/s,) and produced at the Porte Saint Martin theatre, Paris, during the season of 1852. Miss Davenport saw it played at that house, and being strack with its power as an acting piece, she resolved to pre- sent it to the American public. She brought acopy to London, engaged the services of a well known author (Mr. John H. Wilkins), and working as collabrateurs, they succeeded in expunging the immorality from the play aud still preserved its effect. The play has been very successful in this country; and by the fol- lowing manifesto from Miss Davenport it seems tbat some other persons have found the temp tation to take it too strong to be resisted: — To ALL whom 17 way Concer’ —Tho underatgned re- spectfuliy represents thai she 1s the possessor and sole proprietor of certain dramatic compositions entitles “Camille, or the Fate of a Coquette,” and *Adriense the Actress,’ and that she has caused the same to bs envered ‘or Copyright. |All persone ae aeets cantioneo egainst infrixglog upon aa yrights re, t hey will i pees oc os hetullest extent of theias Yanagers of theatres are particalarly cautioned agatas: néveitising any plsys under the above titles J. a.

Dumas, Jr,, and which ‘has been played in Paris over two hundred nights, and has re- cently met with unprecedented success at the Broadway theatre, New York,” &., &c. This is probably Miss Davenport's piece— her property, and if it is, it is as much acrime to steal it as would be to take her watch or her purse on the highway. We mention this parti- cular case because the circumstances are very strong, and because it isthe last one. We might AMUSEMENTS THIS BVENING BROADWAY THRATER.

Ia the cat- ting up these aggregate forces among the party ~ divisions and sub-divisions which now exist, our Seward philosophers admit that the silver grays, or anti-Seward whigs, can, if they are united, “carry off fifty thousand voters from the regular whig ticket.” Then it is conceded that the Know Nothings are at least reventy thousand strong, and that fifty thousand of them are from the original whig ¢imp—an estimate whch does not materially conflict with cur own, heretofore given upon this pont. It is assumed that o majority of these are silver grays. Admitting that half of them are, we have twenty-five thousand Know Nothings to deduct from the general whig ag- gregate, in addition to the fifty thousand silver grays. These joined together make the com- zlomerate whig loss equal to seventy-five thousand votes, provided silver grays ani Know Nothings, ia the lump, bolt the abolition coulition ticket, Thus the Seward aggregate is diminished to one hundred and twenty-five thousand; and at this point we have the furtber aimission that “rum is helping Governor Seymour in the city;’ that upon this issue “all party distine- tions are forgotten,” and that “the most ef- fective canvassers for Seymour ut present are whig rumsellers.” Now, would it be sur- prising, considering the immense wholesale and retail interests at stake, if this liquor ques- tion were to cost Clark the net loss of twenty or twenty-five thousand whig votes throaghout the State? He would be thus reduced toa margin of one hundred thousand, leaving three hundred thousand of the assumed aggregate vote of the State to be divided beween Bronson, Sey- mour and U)lman. Such are the fair and legiti- mate deductions to be drawn from the basis of the estimates of our elder Seward coalition organ. We believe their assumed aggregate of 400,000 votes, as the probable vote of the State, to be to low, and that it fully comes up to five hun- dred thousand votes, if it does not exceed that number. The records of past elections also show that upon a fair party test, as between the whigs and democrats, the latter have had a standing plurality over the former of from fif- teen to twenty thousand votes. entire whig State ticket.

We might also say that such is the low state of stage morality on this point that authors and owners of pieces are obliged to use the utmost vigilance to prevent piracy, and that then they do not succeed in preserving their property from the grasp of profane hands. Manuscripts are bought outright from dishouest prompters—stenographers are engaged to take the specches as they fall from the lips of the actors, and human iggenuity is exhausted to de- vise means whereby the products of oné man’s brain, and another’s money, may be obtained without their knowledge or consent. We believe that there is no law for the pre- tection of dramatic authors in the United States. The copyright law would not prevent the acting of the piece if it was printed, although the title aloce might be copyrighted. They do these things better across the wat:r. An English author never loses his right in his play, Bulwer, for example, receives a stipulated sum for every night’s performance of “ Richelieu’: and the “Lady of Lyons;” and as Mr. Forrest refused to pay this sum, he could not appear in either of the pieces above named, in the United Kingdom, There should be some such law here, At present authors who have ability sufficient to write a good play can employ their talents to much better advantage, and those actors who Flour advanced again yeaterday, especially the do pay well for original plays are plundered of better and extra grades, 25c. a 37hc. ger barrel. | in religion?

B SOSTER. Total......0.0 18 Two hundred and thirteen deaths in eight vessels isa fearful average of mortality, and it is probable that not one-half the story is told. It will be remembered that the same disease ony ared in the same class of vessels last year, and that it appeared and disappeared under very singular circumstances. Several ships left port with crew and passengers all well, and after completing part of the passage the cholera sppeared, raged for a time, and then disappeared as suddenly and mysteriously as it came. In several instances, it is said, where a reckoning was kept, it seemed that two ships were at- tacked by the epidemic in precisely the same latitude and longitude, and that they were freed from their unwelcome visiter, also, in near- ly the came place and at the same time, Bat it is also stated that two ships may be sailing side by side, and that so long as there isa clear current of air between them there is no great danger of infection. If these pints could be settled, it would be of vast importance to medical writers, who have been endeavoring for years to construct a sound theory as to the causes of the cholera. It is held by many savans that the diseaze is caused by an intenze- ly poigonous gas emitted under certain condi- tions of heat and moisture from decaying mineral and vegetable matter. This gas does not diffuse readily, but is borne in currents until it meets with conditions favorable to its developement. These currents would cross lakes, rivers and oceans with great rapidity, and meeting with an immigrant ship, the latent poison would find the conditions— i. e., bad air, filth, scanty rations, andill-cooked food—necessary to its developement. Then the discase would remain with the ship so long as her course was in the air current. But as neither the course of a ship, nor that of a cur- rent of air, can be calculated upon with mathe- matical precision, it would seem that we are yet without a reason for the coincidence of the appearance of the cholera on board two ships in the same ‘position, though at different times. The subject is an interesting one, and will doubtless be closely examined by those savans who make such matters their peculiar study. It would facilitate a definite conclusion if ship- masters and others would keep an exact reckon- ing, and give us the precise date, the latitude and longitude, when the cholera appears on board their ships, together with such other par ticulars as may be important. This will give scientific men some accurate data to work upon, and the results may be highly beneficial to mankind. Very reapectfally, New York, October 25, 1854. DEATH OF M.

Take the Heratp of Wednesday for instance. The trial of Nicholas Beehan for the murder of Mr. aud Mrs. Wickham, with all its revolting disclosures, was succeeded by that of Henry King for the murder of Timothy Red- ding; in both cases the weapon used being an axe. Then came the sentence of Jerome B. King for the manslaughter of Peter G. Post. As though to show that bad men were as quick in providing business for the courts as the Judges in despatching it, three shooting cases then followed; in two of avhich a man, in the third 8 woman was deliberately shot. In the way of crime or offences, the same column no- tices that a man had that day been knocked down and half killed by a Frenchman armed with a club, in Centre street; and an emigrant stabbed by a rowdy in Water street: the vil- Jains escaping in both cases. An attempt to burn up a whole family completed the day’s catalogue of crime. Would} any one, reading this list, imagine that these murders7and assaults were the work of a single day in a city like New York, which boasts a police foree of nearly 1000 men? Does it not rather seem like the account of a weck’s work in some wild island of the South Seas? To keep in order six or seven hundred thou- sand people—of all races and callings—seems no doubt no easy task. But deduct three-fourths for respectable women and children; nine-tenths of the balance for men who have everything to lose by the disturbance of the peace; anda fair proportion of the remainder for quiet or- derly men, who, though not directly interested in the preservation of tranquility, are averse on principle to the commission of crime, and we doubt whether the total number of those who require watching is more than twice as large as that of the police. We are repeatedly told that our police force is becoming more and more ef- ficient, Where are the proofs of the improve- ment? Who are the men to whom the compli- ment is paid? Is it he whose business it was to keep the peace in Centre street at the time Rogers was stabbed, or he who allowed Bergen to be stabbed with impunity in Water street? Or is it the officers who allowed Mitchell’s mur- derer to escape in Duane street?
