A correspondent observes, that the infatuation which possesses many of the people of this State, for Theatrical Exhibitions, is truly alarming. Some were led to imagine that the friends of the drama were principally confined to this city; but, alas! the delirium appears to have spread far and wide. And, strange to tell! the honest, sober Dutchmen of Albany, who were once distinguished by industry and a laudable parsimony, are now plunging into that very species of luxury and folly, which stamps upon the metropolis, an indelible stigma.
