WALLACK’S. There were 1,500 veople in the theatre, distributed 6 follows:—Three hundred and fifty in The curtain wi in”? at forty-six minutes past ten, and iv €ix minutes the audience was outside the door and | gates closed, The ordinary time, with a fuil house, ta plearing the building is about seven minutes, SAN FRANCISCO INSTRALS ‘There were abou: 350 peopie in ihe house, 100 in the galleries, The curtain fell at 9: and the house was pty and lights turned down at 30—turee minutes da half. Upon » test of capacity of the sheatre, as on Thanksgiving, when the ¢ntire nouse was Oilod, the time was four minute: TONY PASTOR'S THKATRE. Last night the attendance bat slight at this bouse and but twenty-tive wor mong the au gience, Owing to the peculiar construction of the theatre and its ample fucilities for egress, it was emptied, after the performance was closed, in an extraordinarily short space of time. At seventeen minutes and twenty-eight seconds to eleven o'clock the rolling pin of the curtain struck the stago fluor, fifteen winutes and eleven seconds to eleven ‘clock the lights in the bouse were extingpisued. Thus the house was emptied in two minutes aud s enteen seconds. Various computations as to the nu r of peopie in the house have been made, but it 1s tafe to say that not over 900 persons were present. THEATRE COMIQUE. Last night the audience at tbis house was rather above the average. The curtain dropped at twenty- threo minutes past ten P.M, and betore twenty-five minutes past ten P.M. the last spectator was in the vestibule, This would hardly be credited had not the writer stood, watch in hand, timing tbe outgoers, Besides tho ordinary exits into Broadway and Crosby Breet, there are x large of church windows which communicate with the roots of adjacent buildings, How easy it would be, when bere, to save ono’s self may be gathered trom the tact that the urchins from the street can thir way on to these roots and thence into the gallery. When the house is packed the audience have usually dispersed betore an ordinary march can be played once through. The best judges say that there is not in the whole country a theatre more completely provided with oxits pasy of access than the Theatre Comigue. AT THE FIFTH AVENOK THEATRE, The parquet was occupiea to about three-fourths of capacity, aud the balcony and gallories coutaived About hal('the number they can cowfortably acco modate. Ax the curtain went down on the last act the reportor took his stand at the railing sarrounding the orchestra and timed tho departure of the xao- dience, In just one minute and a ball the balcony and gullery wero entirely clearod, ana at the expira- tion of three minutes and a half the last person passed out of the vestibule door. MELLER’S WONDER THEATRE. At Holler’s Wonder theatre the time occupied during the exit of the audience last night was less than two minutes. LYCEUM THEATRE. The curtain fell on Richard 11.

The Park Theatre parquet, was emptied in exactly four minutes, while the inmates of the dress circle and the gallery cleared the upper part of the theatre in two and a half minutes, The lobby was en- trely empty at four and a half minutes afier the close of the play. BOWERY THEATRE. At the Bowery Theatre but a third of an audience was assembled, To lower the curtain ten seconas wero tonsumed, and, from the time the drop curtain came down until the last person of the small assemblage passed the inner doors, it took three minutes and forty beconds. BOOTH’S THEATRE. On the fall of the curtain in two minutes and ahalfthe auditorium was deserted, and a fe: later the last of the ‘gods’ was clattering gallery stairs. ARE OUR THEATRES SAFE?

INCIDENTS, A representative of the HenaLp called on Mr. Sheri- dan Shook, one of the lessees of the ill-fated Brooklya Theatre, lato yesterday afternoon, in order to as tain from him what truth there was in tho published statements that ‘there was no supply of water in tho theatre available for immediate ose.’’ Mr. Shook said:—I regret to sce the misstatements in regard to the insoflicient supply of water published in this morn- ing’s journals, as the agsertion must bave been made under great mental oxcitement, during which the party no doubt forget ali avout the internal arrange- ments of tho late theatre. The fact of tue mattor is, there was on the stage a fre plug to which coils of hose apd nozzie were atached, which could easily have been made to send n streain of water all over tho stage. Un the fies there was a sapply of water and uckets which cout easily have been filled bad thero been time to do it. According to my best information, the fire broke outso sudtenly and made such rapid headway that no human power could have stayod its progress, 1 eevery reason to believe that all the attachés of the theatre, did all that lvy in their power to stay the spread of the tire without avail, A MOTHER CKAZED OVER MER FON'S REMAINS, Last might the remains of Joseph Kramer, twenty- one years oid, an uniy child, was brought to bis late home, corner of Stagg sirevt aud Bushwick avenue, Wilhamsvurg, The wore cor rate friends of the family had hoped to deiay its trauster anu the unde taker had made it presentable.

SAFE AND UNSAFE NEW YORK THEATRES, To tux Eviror oy tak Usranp:— In the midst of the excitement and exaggeration caused by the Brooklyn Theatre horror wil! you kindly allow me space for a fow practical words in favor of moderation and discrimination, and in the interests of both the public and the profession? The alarmist reports and editorials in several of the nows- papers aro calculated to territy the publte and injure the profession without just cause, As a matter of fact, the safest public buildings from fire are the first cla theatres, since they are always caretully guarded and abundantly supplied with the means of preventing or extinguishing a conflagratiun. This fety will be still more asgurod while the present excitement lasts, because of tho extra precautions adopied in every well-regulated bouse. When a flimsily constructed, unguarded, evercrowded church burns down and destroys many lives, is it fair or pra- dent to warn the people not to go to whurch any tnore? When a flimsily constructed, unguarded theatre, with- out hose, fire buckets or wire screens, with a proprie- tor who bas nover seen his property, a manager who is never present and a business manager who has walked out before the last act, is destroyed by fire, is it iair to raise a cry against all theatrical estabiish- ments and assist in ntgtitars the people out of safe and prudently conducted theatres? Becouse speculating managers are permitted to learn their business at the expense of the public, 1s it just that profess. onul managers who know all about their theatres and how to take care of thom should be made to suller? The calamity at the Brooklyn Theatre began with the damage bg! @ night or two before, to two gas jets in the flies. These jets were stopped by wooden plugs; the plugs took fire from the neizhboring jets, and two tongues of flame blew out against one of tie canvas borders, which ignited. A flyman (doing his duty properiv) cut down the burning border, which fell, not upon the stage, but upon a thin canv: over the stage. This new fuel gave head flames; then came the rush, the crush, wa holocaust of the public, The master machinist s: that no effort was made to stop tho fire because bo appliances bad been provided for such a purpose. Yet no inspector had ever reported the Brooklyn Theatre as deficient, and Managor Palmer gravely swears that he bad recently bought a ew set of ropes (sic) in order to renaer everyihing safe! Managers are advised by the newspapers to adopt the French system of fire prevention, but one feature of the French system—regular official inspec- tion—bas been overlooked, If, on the morning a the Brooklyn Ore, theatre in New York had been rigorously inspected aud impartial reports pub- hshed the public inind would have been at once quieted. Several theatres would undoabtedly have been condemued and ciosed—thoy ought to be con- detned and closed now—but others would have been recommended a8 _—_ perfectl; sale. There are notorious firetraps in New York; but at joast four of tho leading theatres aro as nearly fireproof as skill and care ean make such edifices, Why not discrimu ta favor ot these safo theatres? Why endeavor to scare the public away from a well ordered house because an iil-regulate! concern has occasioned terrible loss of life? There are theatres in New York, and Daly’s Fifth Avenue ts one of them, which have ample exits; fire hose in every availabie locality, before and behind the scenes; sold brick wails dividing the lobby and the stage from the auditorium; pails of water ready, wire gauzes over all exposed 11ghte, a floor protected by plastered ceil- ing and supported by iron and brick columns, fire anni- bilators in every department, and a staff trained to |) t such un emergency a8 a rash ora fire. Are |) suoh establishments, which invite inspection and defy , condemuation, to be carelessly included in tho same | category with the fire trans? ‘The profession bave suffered sufficiently during tho past year from the political disturbances of the coun- ‘try without having the bread and butter taken from their months by an unjust and unnecessary alarm against the thents The public require «i relaxation, even more than ever, and an unfair and exaggerated outcry. appeal will be mado to both the prof public to raise a tund for the reliet of the famities of the Brooklyn martyrs, ard both aro ready to respond cheeriully und hberally ; but whero are they to meet, save in the theatres? IT write plain facts susceptibie of easy proof, when I maintain that, ina well-built and well-managed theatre, an audience is safer (rom any accident woutever, than in any other public building, and that sach theatres ought to bo specially exempted by the press from this iodiscrim. censure. Yours respectfully, STEPHEN FISKE. Filth Avenue Theatre, Docember 7, 1576. GRAVE CHARGES—A COMMISSION OF INQUIRY.

McLangblin appeared aise incliaed to test hia merits, as on the 28th of November the Heratp pub- lished his acceptance, under date of the 27th ult., of the challenge, as follows: — New Youn, Nov. 27, 1876, ToR or THe Heratn:— 1 neknowledgs the receipt of Mr, To THe “ply f would say that La with Mr Fanes Owen ton, Mavs, of Vernon en the toh ts made rudent to take hancen of my time is all taken a Julitoreia next spromg.

Some money wae invested at 100 to 60, but in most cases it required an offer of 100 \o 40 to tempt the friends of Mr, Murphy.

As soon as the men bad taxen hold they commenced feinting with their feet, each trying to fecl his man, and thon McLaughlin’ made an effort to give bis op- ponent the outside lock, but Murphy was too quick and got away cleverly. | The releree, Mr. Mill, then cautioned McLaughiin to keop bis hand down, as it was getting up on tbe back of Murphy’e neck.’ Mo- Laughlin thea made a boid dash for an a hold, but cleanly out of trouble. ‘The spects- ested in the match, as it was plunly evident Murphy was a vory scientific wrestier, McLaughlin next tried tw back heel bis man, but failed again.
