Thins, treating of Miss Cushman’s recent performancejat tlio ’Winter Garden,, (a thoatro I) in MWibrk, says," In tho eight weeks, sho realized within »; low hundred of $lO,OOO, making her income; if measured in tho same proportion, more than double that' of the Prosidont of the United States. Mr. Forrest gets oven, a shade still better terms, and even many" stock actors re ceive a steady yearly Income higher, than that of bur, Secretaries of Stile. Ati*. Brough- 4th rtcoived last season, at Wallack’s, sl7o a week, besides benefits and allowftticofor his pieces; Mr. Lester W'alkck receivos $125 a week i Mr. Blake, $115; and W. Walcot $lOO. At tlio •Winter Garden and Nlblo’s, Messrs. Oouldock and Dyott received $7O and |s6o, and Messrs, Conway and Fisher $7O and, SGO respectively a wock. At Miss Keono’s,’ this season, thore are no high salaries, blit, at the opening of the last, sho paid Mr. Jordan $lOO. Last season, too, Mrs. John Wood and Mr. Jeil'erson rocoivod each $l6O a week, un der the management of Mr. Stuart. Nelthor Garrick, nor Betterton, nor Mqnden, 1 nor Dowton, received one half tliis snm itt their best days. Mo wonder, With such increasing salary of artists, and diminution in this pried of admission, that managers, now-a-days, nover realize the same snmsns of old. Tho days of managers have gone by, and those of aotors, scene-painters, and' carpenters, have succeeded.”:!", : The fact is, aotors and actresses are now bettor paid than any other persona—popular clergymen excepted. When, as in the, cats of. Mr. H. W.'Boechof and Df. Chapin, the Well* paid popular preacher aisb i 3 tho weil-paid popular lecturer, his income exceeds that of the President of the United States. Mr. J. B. Gough, the Temperance Lecturer, whoso dramatic powers entitle him to he ranked as a great actor, is said to rccoivo abouts2so for each of his performances. Say. that ho per forms, on tho platform, only twico a week, his income must atnount to some $26,000 a year. Theatrical performers of acknowledged ability receive large salaries, and. nobody, can blame them for accepting such ample remu neration. If Miss Cußhman can obtain,; be-' cause it remunerates a manager, as much as $lO,OOO in eight weeks—which is even mote thah Mr,.Gough,receives for his performances, —and if Mt. Forrest more,! they are quite right in taking It. Itmust be id-, mitted, though Miss Cushman chiefly resides in Europe, that Mr. Forrest do'os not spend his incomo in any foreign land, but dispenses a large portion of it in tho pnrehaso of books and tho encouragement of niiUve art. But, apart ftom single examples, the reiioclion Which forces itsolf upon the mind is—how 1 In* ctattve the dramatic profession is, compared with others ? At tho , regular theatres, middling j or “slock” performers 'receive from .slo' to $25 per week. Pat these performers into any other business, ami see they., oonW earn half this compensation.. The botierr class performers obtain larger of course, bnt not dlsproportfonably so, consi dering that, for tho most part, these Shav4 to And their ot?n wardrobes* If*;, Slio'rpeH’B dress as Hamlet, a part which” wc should fflfo to see him oftener in, cannot have cost him loss than $125. It is .even morQ costly to loading actresses: we hayc soon Mrs. lirow. and Mrs; Cowell respectively wear dresses* at -Arch* street and •'Walnut-street theatres, which' con not have cost loss than SMO a-plec«i.. - / Oiio wrotchodly paid* Back ballet-girl get? $8 por week, and finds her own dresses f Tho manager of Wallaces theatre finds It his interest, no doubt, to pay $125 a week, to. Mr, Lester Ijpjllack anil $125 to ‘Mr. Blake, ekcolJeht 1 poHohnets each. &ut take the highest weekly salary paid to any .Newspaper editor—-$6O a woek is said to bo tho salary of Mr* i>sb& of the Tribune — and it is only one half of that paid to Mr. Lester Wallack, who probably clears an extra $l,OOO a y oar hy two benefits, Mr. Blako’e $ll6 a week, to say nothing of HU benefits, also, is exactly what the editor of tho London Times receives. Contrast tho mental labor of editor and actor, and judgo how the former is underpaid, as compared with tho light work of tho popular performor. There aro not over three news paper editors in tho Union who tgcqlyq $6O a week—ono half of Mr. Lester Wallaces easi ly-obtained incomo. How fow obtain oven $4O a week; how many hundreds of hard-working, talented, and every way respectable editor* and reporters in America do not earn more than from $lO to $2O a week. Jlow many clergymen, lawyers, and medical men—all of whom must be fully educated before they tajio ttp those professions, to outer which costs about $2,000 Jo eaoh man for education—ac tually aro now receiving under $2O a week, boing less than is paid to very middling theatri cal performers. One advantage, however, is that actors and actresses—except Ihe wandering “ stars” who occasionally visit us from England, and aro becoming fewer every year, thanks to the de cided improvement exhibited by our native .and resident performers—^wo say that actors and actresses spend their incomes, if unnatu rally high, where thoy receive them. The foreign “star,” on tho contrary, spends as lit tlo of his American receipts as possible, We have often wondered why ho consents to bo saddled with tho class called “ agents,” for whom thoro soldom Is any need, excopt when tho “star,” as in Blondln’s case,does not un derstand our language well enough for bu siness. But tho resident performers spend their money where thoy make it. Tho fo reigner, who pays us a flying visit, takes most of Ws receipts away ftom this country, to spend in his own. If this bo truo of «star” actors and ac tresses, how utucU truet of tho wandering comets who condescend to warble and dance into onr pursos—tho Plccolominis,and Gazza nigas, and Fanny EJlslcrs of tho opera-house. Ono may fcol angry, in tho course of his dally work-in tho pulpit, at tho bar, by tho bodsido, with tho poneil, or with tho pen— when he loams that I’iccolomlnl, in a few months hero, cloared $lOO,OOO, notwithstand ing her ■ want of voico, bydlnfcof enormous puffing, and took it away to spond in Italy; that Gazzanlga is reported to have clearod $40,000 in three years, which sho will dispose of in like marmor; that a eantatrico is paid $4,000 for flinging on somo twolvo to llffoon ovonlngs in a month, and that & good tcnoT, who is popnlar, may stand out for $3,000 for liko florviccs i Those Italian flingors, who ro colvo such princoly incomes, take tho gcoatcr part of them home—thoy voalizo largo for tunes, which they romovo out of tho cnrroncy of tho country. It Is no wondor that theatrical anil operatic managers liavo rarely succeeded, In lato years, In milking monoy. Mr. Wallnrlc laid done It In New York, ami so Ims Mr. Wheatley In this city, blit theso gontlemon nro highly acconi pllshfld artists, and also good bnslnoss-mon, who have lmd long oxporlonco as theatrical lessOos, and know, much bettor than their stago-managers, how ovory piece Bhould bo cast bo as to bring out tlio talent of each per lormor In It. Thoy are liberal, too, whon tho occasion demands it, and tills pays In tho ond. Should Mrs. Bowors succeed in building her thoatre—thoro has long boon an immenso pile of bricks, apparently destined to raise It, cum bering the highway in Chestnut street, which Bhould bo used up or removed—she may ho assured, what she probably knows very well already, that judicious liberality in manage ment Is iar moro remunerative than that nig gardly economy which realizes the old ndage of losing a cheep for a ha’porth of tar. By tho way, this new theatre in to bo built upon a plan more extensive than originally contem plated, and the accession of additional stock holders, to raise mor» capital, is invited.

Not one;at Uast, who witnessed Mr. John Drew’s performance 'lest night, as Rory , will be likely to forget the name' of this gifted oomodlah as associated mtheirmo*- mory with one of the most truthful portrflitiMa of “ a young Irishman” that have ever 1 been sketched fr*m life by the pen of tho novelist, or brought out * in its full proportions by the skill of tho actor. Were we to uotail the numborless original hitsland happy tdnohes of nature thrown into this part of Rory O'More by Mr. John Drew last evening; we’ would have to speak at length of every'scene in the play. Applause of the heartiest and most en thusiastic character followed each burst ot mirthtul laughter elicited by Rory's doings'and dialogue with De VTtla&tin % tho French contrabandist and' •traitor, (eurnaraed by Rory Mr. Devilakin,) as well as; with; old .Stubbs, Col .

The songs, dances, ho., inciden tal to the plede wete pleasingly presented. At the olose of each act, and also at tho conclusion of! the play, Mr. Drew was called in front of tho curtain and warmly complimented. In the farce of the Trt*h Tutor, aa .Doctor O'Toole, Mr. Drow,. we might say, surpassed himself, notwithstanding the highly favornblo impression made by hi i Rgry. ,11j8 conception of the Doctor is original, and Ms acting moat natural and humorous, without Vul garity or exaggeration. ' , - One Session in our Public Schools. ’ This, question is by no moans finally ectUed.‘ It kill bo agitated by the people, uutil tho reform is carried. * ’ j - The views of Colonel Leech on this subject] d‘e-‘ serve to be generally read; Certainly all t the. teachers in tho land will thank hlm'for his frac and toooking acknowledgment of the value of their sorvioea: Col. Leooh advocated one session with earnest ness and ability. Be said he had made the subject of education a careful study for a period of ten or fifteen years. All onr private aohoola owed thoir popularity and aaooeM, In part, to this system! ,Tt is more humane; more rational, and better for'the pupil. - Our fchuroh-yatda and cemeteries are filled with little graves, and to what must wo attribute this fatality ? Ask the enlightened physician, land he will toll yon too long confinement in the pesti lent atmosphere of our tlnventilated school-rooms. If a law oonld be passed against infant schools, we should shortly see £rowi»g up around us a more healthy and longer-lived population. This view is sustained by the solentifio men of the most en lightened countries of the world. Prance; Eng land, Germany, Prussia, and Amerioa, sustained him in this assertion. Col. Leech said ho was : one of a committoe of twenty, who had visited, in May last, tho schools of New York and Boston. While attending to this duty he had seen enough to Con vince him that we could learn much from otif neigh bors. In achool structures we were a-quarter bf a century behind them, and in many ossontial mat ters appertaining to education we were equally de ficient. Whllo Now York and Boston - wotO eaoh voting $lO,OOO a year for pianos and instruction in vocal music, oar City Councils wore meanly with holding all appropriation. And so with a half do ten matters of nearly equal importance. Whilo more enlightened ottlcs were forbidding alYstudy out of school, we wore for cramming our children into their graves, barely roform is needed in ,this matter. Ask Professors Maguire and Cxegar, and they will tell you that we orem too muon; they will tell you that, many a fine !&d, many a bright girl has found aif early grave, owing to sevore'and Fong-continued pressure upon the brain.' Col. Lceoh said, with groat feeling and impressiveness, that, as at preeentconduotod,he was not surowhe ther our schools are not a ourso, rather than a blessing. Look at it! A child is born unto'os; wo maintain it for fifteen or eighteen years. We do our host to rear it to a useful maturity, when, just as wo think we are about to be repaid for all onr care and anxiety and love and expense,'tbo ohild is enatohed away, and borne to tho silent tomb. And this is tho result of our errono ous system of education. Better-far better— lot your children run wild in the street#, taking the risk of contamination from their dally surroundings. But, to oome back to the vi sit to the New York and Boston schools :Jn almost everything, but particularly in all that relafes to coEDinwvsenße physical development, the" New Yorkers are for ahead of ns. Col. Leech wquld liko to send those directors who had instructed thoir controllers to New York, that thoy might hear, and see, and Judge for themselves. Surely those men are best qualified to legislate for the highest interests of education, and for tho moral, intellectual, and physiool well-being of tho chil dren who have made the subject a lifo-loogstudy• Aro school direotors, whohaTo been inlooalboards for only fivo or six months, competent to instruct a controller who has given this subject his serious attention? Perhaps some of these direotors, have not visited a school a half a dozer, times in tho wholo course of their lives! What do saoh' men know of the wants of scholars ? Nothing—lite rally nothing. Bat wo are told that too one session movement we? sot afoot by the teachers,' and they were to reap the bonefits of it! Shall we ro : fuse our okildion a kindness, a muoh*needod re laxation, a life-preserving measure, because tho poor teaoher is to be benefited thereby? God forbid And hero, said Col. Leeob, letmepayn passing tri bute to that patient, hopeful, eolf-eaorifioing, digni fied, noble band, composed of the teachefa of our city, State, and country. Truly, a noble baud ! How great the trust confided to them—how .mo* meDtons for good or for evil! And yet, how poorly aro they requited. If we considor their labors to reach the necessary grade of qualification, their laborious saorifioos after they becomo teachers, their low opportunities of reward, the trials of pa tience they undergo from stupid committees 'and ignorant parent#—if we consider these things we shall then begin to appreciate a profession -which deserves to rankwitu the highest, the purest and tho bo3t known amoDg men. I will not, oontinued Col. Leeeh. enlarge npon the advantages of one session. The moesura has been advocated with ability and candor in this board. It is not neces sary that I should recapitulate tho arguments in favor of it. The ablest newspapers in the city have supported tbo measure, and the newspapers which hnvo opposed it havo always boon found ar rayed against reform, They opposed the destruc tion of themarket sheds, the laying of oity tail ways, tho introduction of steam fire-engines, etc. Of course, then, they will continue to oppose all other reforms. This is all right if thoy aro sinooro, and I shnll not quostion thoir sincerity; but it certainly looks as if they were governed by .mo tives o£ self-interest, a desiro to sell their papers, by opposing a salutary and popular measure. In the long run, howevor, Truth will tri umph to 'the confusion of her enomios. Col. Lee«h hoped that this mattor of ono session would bo taken up by tho people next spring, in whioh caeo he felt sure that every one who did not doolnre himself for it would be eleoted to stay at home, the only fit place for any man po fatally obtußO to the best interests of popular edu cation. It is well known that in every section whore an expression of opinion had been called for nine out of ton had committed themselves in favor of it. Some directors had declared that they did not care for suoh expressions of opinion on the part of the people; hut I beg to inform these gentlemen that the people are tho source of all power, and their wishes must bo respeotod and oboved. Tbo measure may fail to-day, through the blind stub bornness of certain direotors, but another year will show more auspicious results, results more nearly allied to the wishes and genius of our people.
