The prize upon which these bucca- neers intend to bear down is nothing leas than the public property of the metropolis itself— a prize which far outshines the wildest visions of Morgan and his comrades, who originated the buceaneering trade upon the Spanish Main.

Like Cardinal Woleey, their stomachs are unbound- ed, and they cry continually for more, more, sion to lay out streets over that part of the island lying between Trinity Cemetery and Waehington Heights, on the pretext that sach a job is desired by the property owners in that locality.

The Theatres Last Night. programmes of three of the principal theatres were changed on last evening, when all the places of public amusement were weil filled, the city having re- ceived the usual spring instalmonts of travellers and s0- journers. At Laura Keeno’s theatre a new piece, from the fruit- yim three acts, ealled ‘Vanity Fair,’ and has been taken in the ‘main from ‘Lee Fanfarors de Vice,” by Da manoir.

The plot of the play is very slight—bardly worth mentioning—but the dialogue is full of good things, and some of the sinations are exceedingly clever. The charactors are well drawn, but need the careful gradation which only the Frenchstagehas ‘The distribution incladed Misses Keene, Robertson, Deland, Wells, Mre. Fox, Messrs, Bourcicaut, ©.
