NEW YORKISMS.
from Our Own Oorreipondent.
New York, Jan. 6, 1809.
. Till? NRW MAYOR,
A. Oakev Hall, assumed his duties yesterday at
hood.
Ticture to yourself John Brougham In that
otition, and, bo far as versatility and geniality
to, you have a pretty correct picture oi oar new
linyor. Lie CAn compose songs and sing thcm
Write farces and act them, tell good whisky and
wallow it, and tell good stories and nuke his
bearers swallow them. Finally, If he Is as ready
in the manufacture of new edicts as of witty
editorials, there Is no knowing what height of
moral purity New York may attain at lat.
Bichard B. Connolly and George W. McLean
will continue in their respective posts of Con
troller and fetrcct Commissioner.
The Board of Councilmen have wound up
lMS'swork with the wholesale pasaje ol a
number of flimsy resolutions.
Turing December nearly $1,800,000 were col
lected in taxes, and during the last three month9
cTer $20,000,000.
It may not be generally known by Philadel
phia's tbut there nro
TWO rnOTRiTANT tlSTERHOOnS
In this city, the Sisterhood of the Holy Comma
nion and the Sisterhood ot St. Mary. The home
of the first is St. Luke's Hospital. The Sister
hood of St. Mary orsuples three houses, one in
West Forty-sixth street, another, the Sheltering
Mouse, at tho corner of One Hundredth street
and Broadway, and the third, the House of
Mercy, at the foot of Eiahty-siith street, North
Tiver.
A few of the Episcopal churches hive latlerly
beea psylnc; much attention to the subject of
the establishing of sisterhoods and brothcrhcoda
for the relief of the poor and wretche. Fore
most in this direction among Episcopal clergy
men is Father Morrill, tke much berated
ritualist of St. Alban's. The Brotherhood, or
Sodality, formed by him has been In existence
for a little over a jear. Djring that time its
members have from their own resources ex
pended on charitable objects about $1500. They
propose shortly to render themselves still more
useful by tbe erection of a house, called a Clergy
Bouse, immediately beside their chapel. The
Clergy House is to be their headquarters a sort
of charitable and religious telegraph flre-al.irm
and j ollce station.
A HBW TEMPERANCE IIALI.,
restanraot, and reading-room have just beeu
thrown open. Ttiey include four rooms In all
a public hall, a free readiug-roona, a committee
room, and a restaurant. The first three are
ftee to the public by day aud night. In the
restaurant the bent of refresh menta are pro
mised at cost prices, the refreshments of
coarse excluding spirituous and malt liquors of
every description. Meetings are to be held
or free lectuiee of some kind delivered every
night.
1 have never attempted to calculate the
number of scenes consequent upon
BU1CIDAL MANIA
of which I have been witness. The most of
them have been in New York, and the majority
of those in New York have had foreigners for
their principal participants. Gustav, a German
youth, who plajs the little dram in an orches
tra, is in love with his cousin Uildcgarde, a
married woman, whose husband, a captain of
Borne small trading vesxel, is absent about ten
months in the year. Uildcgarde is partial to
her cousin, but wanting to bo true to her
husband, permits Gustav to g just so far, and
only a little bit further than he ought.
The husband is expected home; Hil
degarde is in tears, and., npbralls her
cousin for having been irresistible. Gustav com
poses a 6et of verse in which he uses G.rma
adjectives of fourteen syllables, and other wie
distributes poetic justice all rouud by walk
ing into East River and being fished up aud
taken to the Morgue. There is wailing aud
gnashing of teeth, and a tender hell of anguish
in Hildegarde's breast, when the officers find
lier out next morning aud request her presence
at the coroner's inquest, for the identification
of the body; aud thus the story reduplicates
itself from time to time. This generalization,
let me hope, will spare toe revler, for to-day at
least, the expectation of any of the painful de
tails of recent suicides here.
HOW TO GO TO HAMBURG
most expeditiously aud at the least expense
was the question asked ot Messrs. Bierwlrth
ABochall, merchants of this city, by three
- fashionable and good-looking youag men, whose
subsequent disappearance seems to have been
simultaneous with the disappearance of a cer
tain tin box containing $30,000 in bond. All that
liierwlrth A. Hochall know about the matter
la that the bonus are gone, and that the only
party piesent in the office where the bonds re
posed coaststed of the three fashionable aud
good-looking young men before mentioned.
This makes the third or fourth successful bond
robbery to a great amouut that has boen perpe
trated during the lait three mooth. The police
are ''working it up." Messrs. Bierwirth &
Hochall are worked up already.
The present regime of
l'OLICB MAGISTRATES
fclveB a not unnatural dissatisfaction to certain
clashes of honebt tax-payers. These have lately
held meet.ngs, the object of which is to petition
the Legislature to removo such incubi, and
apt oint successors who have greater claims to
legal lore and integrity of character.
TUB TAUHAK7
opened last nidt to such a gush of Gothamltes
as soon filled the largo hall. The impressions
one retains of such a jam, chatter, and buzz are
apt to be misty. Of one thing the public is sure,
and that is that it bos a new Btyle of amusement.
No one ol the numerous features of tbe pro
gramme lasts more than three-quarters of an
bour. General admission is fixed at the low
price of fifty cents. The perfoimers number
between one and two hundred. The hall is
beautiful, spacious, and bright. As good things
to eat and drink are to be had as at any of the
better rests orants. Grover himself was beam
ing and unctuous with premeditated success.
He has made e piunlus vnum his managerial
motto.
"LA r-EBlCHOLB,"
the new opera hovffe, produced last night at
Pike's, i one ot those pretty, impossible stories
which the librel'o causes for the moment to seem
possible. The scene is laid in Peru, and the ac
tion Is made up of the adventures of two street
ingera, 'La Pericholo," Mad'ile. Irma, and
Pequillo," M. aujac. "Pequlllo" believes that
'La Pericholc" is unfaithful to htm because the
agents of the Viceroy have married him to her
while he waa drunk and unconscious, in order
lbt, M ft WWled WVmo, lie may be presented
to the Viceroy antecedent to becoming mad of
honor to his wife. With woman' stratagem,
"La Perichole" succeeds in bringing matters
right; she and Peaulllo'' are bsppily reunited,
and the poor street-singers are permanently en
riched through the Viceroy's liberality. An lm'
mens audience attended last night's rcorescn
tatlon. The strain of the evening was "L'l'pag
nol et la Jeune Inilienne."
Rose Bell Is sick and Pcsclauzaa is doing

The Teatro Ban Benedetto, in Venice, for
which LUla iana in Aigieri and Edoardo o
Cris'tna were written, has just been rechrls
tcned "II Teatro Rossini." The.new dedication
was celebrated by a performance exclusively
roads np of the name-giver's compositions; It
is said that Rossini's widow, in giving her con
sent to the transfer ot his remains to his native
laul, has expressly stipulated that when her
tijrie comes she herself shall be buried near her
husband.
A new opera, entitled A'da, produce 1 at
the Teatro Communale of Bologna, was received
with favor remarkable evdn for an excitable
Itali'in audience. The composer, Siguor Lioncllo
Ventura, was called before the curtain eighteen
times. Such demonstrations do not mean much,
but we are informed that Signor Ventura has
real talent. A'da is his first operatic composi
tion, but he is well known as an accomplished
writer on musical matters.
Drmnnllc Itemn.
Mr. T. W. RoberUon has completed a new
comedy which will shortly be put in rehearoal
at the Prince of Wales' Theatre, London.
Mr. J. S. Clarke, the well-known comedian
has entered upon a farewell engagement of
twelve weeks at London prior to his return to
this couutry. His career abroad has been mo-it
prosperous, and has won him many friends and
a high reputation.
At the Uaite, Purls La Madone des Jioses, a
drama by M. Victor fctjour, iu five acts aud
nine tableaux, has beeu produced. It is a thor
oughly melo-dramatic work, and has been
mounted with great care. "Lydia," the
heroine, who is called the "Madone des Roses,''
in consequence of having once taken refuge in
a niche intended for a statue of the Virgin, and
dispensed unexpected alms to a supplicant who
took her for a statue, is sought by two lover.
One is "Cesar d'Bito," a wicked prince, the
other "Andrea," a haudsome youth, of
parentage supposed to be obscure. To
protect berBtlt from the persecutions of the
prince, "Lydiu'eetroys her bsauty by means of
an acid. "Andrea" challenges "Cesar d'Este," bat
is refused on account of having no social statu".
He appeals to his mother to tell him who he ii,
and learusthat the roan he wanted to fight was
his father. UlUaa'cly he.is married to "Lydia,"
whose beauty a clever chemist restores. "Cejar
d'Este," the father.roakes a raostSardanapalus
like ending, in tbe conflagration of his palace.
The fire with which the piece concludes is the
most elaborate spectacle yet attempted on the
French stage. Sheet-iron covers the floor of the
stage, upon which no less than fifteen hundred
blazing beams are said to be hurled. Ou the
first night the performance occupied seven
hours.
M. Carmouche, a well-known French
dramatist, has died in Paris in his seventy
second year, He was one of the most prolific
of writers, having produced over two huudred
pieces for the ctage, writton for the most part
in collaboration with Bcrlbe, Bayard, Meles
ville, and other authors. Among the best
known works for which he was wholly or in
part responsible, are Le Vampire, Lei Dtux
Forcats, La Lune de Miel, Faulint, La Permls
Bion de Dix IIeure$, and Let Jieves de Ifatheus.

Jenny Vertpre. Ljoos, his birthplace, was the
scene of the production of his first comedy.
His family was gool, but was ruined by the
Revolution. Carmouche was in turns painter,
goldsmith, and clerk in sn office before he took
to tbe stage, first as actor and subsequently as
dramatist. For some yera past ho had quilted
the active pursuit of his provision, and had
taken to collecting b joks. His dramatic library
is said to be one of the finest private collectium
in France.
Dru'j Lane at Night.
Trury Lane not the famous theatre, but
the "main thoroughfare of Bohemian penury'
is described as follows by the London iV.w
of December 15:
"The dense poverty and wretchedness of
many of the streets abutting on the lane,
where swarms of dirty nnkempt children are
making dirt pios and paddling in the gutters
at all hoars of the day, and where the week's
or perhaps the day's washing for the family
bangs suspended from broom-handles aud
broken sticks and boards like eocentrio llagBof
truce between the inmates of different floors
this dirt and wretchedness overflows into and
makes merry in the lane. It flaunts at the
ginshop doors, it crowds their bars, it chaf
fers for sprats and fried fish at the Jewish
merchants, who have dispensed with shop
fronts, as if to assimilate their establishments
to the costermonger carts, it swears and
shrieks upon the curbstones, it indulges not
infrequently in warlike fandangoes which ter
minate in the tearing of lock-hair, in the claw
ing of faces, in screams for the polioe, and in
an addition to the occupants of the Bow street
cellB. It gossips amicably as well, and may
be beard comparing notes as to the 'hardness'
and unreasonable punctuality of the collector
of the weekly rents, or the misfortune ef poor
Tommy, whose difficulties are connected with
a watch, and who is expected 'out' in three
weeks from now; or the badness of the times,
'with never a bit of luck lor any one ot us,
more's the pity.'
"This irrepressible wretchedness letvens
bnt does not constitute the lane. The prox
imity of the theatres, of the artists' color
shop, of the Italian gallery of busts and
Statues, and the various half hidden trades
and callings connected with each, all make
themselves in the shops and in the appear
ance of the wayfarers felt on the pavement.
The figures in canvas blouses like brown hol
land pianofores, but wdl spotted with red,
black and blue paint, are assistant scene
painters or property men, who have slipped
out from the heated property-rooms of Drury
Lane or Covent Garden for a mouthful of such
fresh air as the lane can yield. It
is a busy time in thosa property
rooms just now. The maks alone are
enough to weigh upon a man's mind with
as much force as her hoarders' dinner-gravy
did on that of Mrs. Todgers. Vast, vacuous,
ruddy, they are at first like huge dish-covers,
or giant pies with the knobs of meat or fruit
making hills and valleys on their surface.
Then, by means of dexterous mouldings and
pnnchings, nose, eyes, and cheeks assume a
more grotesque human look: scjuiuty, para
lytic seizures, the glare of idiocy, the fatuous
leer of the sot, the rag of the stage luuatic,
are all imitated in the pasteboard, until a row
of hideous faces lying out to dry and grimacing
fixedly at the looker-on, testifies to the deft
fingers and weird skill of the manipulators.
To be shut up in a property-room at night,
with no other company than a bad conscience,
must be trying to the nerves.
"The condition of the pawnbrokers' shops
is another evidence of the theatrical associ v
tions of the lane. Paste diamonds and stae
finery abound among the pledges unredeemed.
And your pawnbroker is among the most aris
tocratic of the shops hereabouts. Take away
the great stationers, who are sucb a power in
the printing and publishing state, and whose
name is always mentioned reverentially by
struggling men; the tobacoo manufactory,
which sends out an olfactory stimulant gratis,
pass its door at what hour you will, and from
which the flavor of cigars and fragrant tobao :o
gushes up through the window grating at
your feet; the hardware dealrs, who sell old
and new iron in various forms, bulbous
masses of metal which are like so many sur
gical preparations or human malformations
transmuted; the ready-made boot-Bhops,
where Wellingtons at 8s. 9d. have hung in
graceful festoons up to the first floor window
for the last twenty years, and where 'stout
walkings' and 'double clumps' are almoit
given away; the nondescript marine stores,
where everything is of the earth earthy, aud
where nothing BnggeHts the sea except an odd
salt-cellar; the cheap publication mart, at
which the details of the splendid vices of the
aristocracy have been retailed at a penny a
week, until the whole neighborhood must be
more intimate with the hiddeu secrets of the
mansion of a depraved nobility than Asmo
dens himself; the comparatively newly-openud
shep for engravings old and new, at which a
magnificently framed portrait of the great aud
good George IV stuck so long on hand that
its mimic gilt frame orown fell off to deoorate
the classic .head of the late Miss Menken
take away these, and the pawnbrokers, lb
publicans, and the dealers iu eatables are iht
principal venders in the lane. Among the
former is a firm which vaunts its htving been
in business two hundred years.
"Bohemia is represented in the windows of
the pawnshops and the things for sale. Ad ing
editions of popular plays, greasy, beibnuibod,
and torn, lie among This lot 41. each' at the
open bookshops. A preponderance of fiishy
rings and pins; of gaudy scarfs and stocks; of
paint-boxes and palettes; of oil-paintings,
half finished, some of the in of mush irreguUr
and unequal promise, have been pledged.
The silver plate department seems sparsely
stocked, tbe 'make-believe very much,' re
commended by the marchioness to Mr. Richard
Swiveller, is necessary to the proper apprecia
elation of many of tbe articles for sale.
"The crushing poverty, too, of certain por
tions of the lane notably the northern half,
above Great Queen street and Lougacre, which
intersects a district bounded by Eudell street
on tbe one side, aud Little Queen street ou
the other, not to be inspected without a
shudder this crushing poverty is enlivened
by a certain jaunty smartness elsewhere. The
ladies of the ballet often traverse the lane,
and tbe warmest interest is taken, even Iu the
humblest shops, at the fate of every new piece
brought oat 'over the way.' It is a fond
superstition of the district that Drury Lane
Theatre ia 'over the way,' let the speaker
dwell where be will; and there are good
reasons for the hearty good wishes tendered
to the management. A successful run and a
prosperous season here and at 'the Garden'
make the old lane feel young again. The
theatrical treasury overflows into the bumble
homes, tad bLocs, and lodgings, quite uucon-
fO nsly; and there is unknown sympathy of
thi snbtlest kind between the approval of a
critical andienoe on a first night and hundreds
of families, industrious and Bohemian, Who
live bard by. Drury lane is poor, crewded,
and squalid; but it is strongly tinctured with
a desire to extract as much amusement as
possible out of tbe slenderest materials; to
mills it with the theatres and the opera; to b
smart and jaunty through its dirt and all
this lifts it out of the ordinary low metro
politan neighborhood, and gives it a character
of its own."
