Monday, Dxcsmdkr 1, IS56. on Senate ?Met nt o'clock, to attend tlic Coinmtncvmcni of the South Curolitiu College. At half-past two Senate returned to the chnmliert j when reports, petitions, &e., wcie presented. j.. Mr. CHESNUT submitted a favorable report 1 from the Committee on Federal relations, on a bill to authorise the United Stales to purchase certain lands for the er elion of Light Houses nnd Beneons, and for other purpo cs, recommending that KV the bill do pass. Resolutions were submitted: by Mr. DUDLEY, "" that further operations on the Blue Ridge Railroad be abandoned, nnd that the funds remaining for "*1 that purpne, he applied to the building of the n w .. _ State Capit.d, which was referred to the Committee on Finance and 'Janks. " Mr. HASFLL moved tliat. the first and second . plages ol the Asylum Report lie reprinted, and that i " the names of patients be suppressed in said reprint, .. nnd that a name on page -9 bo erased before de- ' lieery. Mr. CANXOX, on seconding thi? resolution, remarked that the procedure ol publ siting the names of patients was unusual, il not unpteie- t,v dented; that it was enough for the friends of the P* 'unfortunate persons, who were inmates of the Institution, to know the faet themselves, and that by nn o publication of thoNe names, no public or pr.eate benefit would or ootild neerue, while the feelings, sensibilities nnd svmpnthies ol those most interested -would be wounded, and perchance confidence in the Asylum might he ntfeeted. The motion was adopted.

This week we give ;rson's opinions of Patrick Henry and . Jackson. If our memory servos us, Jotlerson entertained a prejudice against ;son, growing out of the Hurr fillibtislg expedition, though he could not fitsa charge upon him. As to Henry,? g unleltereJ, but highly talented?a iral entiment of contempt was ontereu for him by ono who was exceedingain of his acquirements, and whose self had been immeasurably pampered by he enthusiasm with which hi* draft of Declaration of Independence had been ived by his countrymen.

His eloquence was peculiar, if in I it should bo called eloquence; for it impressive and sublime, beyond what be imagined. Although it was difficult n lie had spoken to tell what ho had , yet, while he was speaking, it always led directly to the point. When he sj oken in opposition to my opinion, produced a great ell'oct, and 1 myself i highly delighted and moved, I have d myself when he ceased: '"What the I has he said!" I could never answer inquiry. His person was of full site, his manner and voice free and manly, utterance neither very fast nor very Ilis speeches generally short, f 0111 larter to a half an hour.

Lager-Bier Concerts. The New York Musical Review affords t us tho following glimpse into a Free Con- ' ccit in Nrew York: Attracted by tbo words "French Theatre , and Lager Bier," down we went, and found ] ourselves in a low, damp cellar, dimly , ' lighted, and packed to its utmost capacity ( with people of all ages, sexes, and coudi- j ti?ois. Frenchmen, Spaniards, Germans, ( Italians. Hebrews, Englishmen, Americans | ?all nations seemed to bo represented.; We crowded our way through the dense ( mass, and finally took a scat-at a table near : , the stage, which was gotten up with a con- j siderublc degree of taste. A drop scene, | about eight feet by ton. shut out the \iew | ' of the stage, and incieased the anxiety of ( the audience to lent n what mysteries it con- ; , cenlcd. In the orchestra bov (there win an ! orchestra box, n little larger than a candle ( box) sat a violinist and a cornopean player, who, at the sound of a bell, co::: inenced the overture. The performance was about to commence! A breathless silence pervaded the vast assemblage. The overturo oitr. the bell was again sounded, and tho curtain j slowly ascended, disclosing a "Hat," which represented the interior of a room, and two or three side scenes, just wide enough to allow the spectators to see every thing that j look place behind them. That this wa? very refreshing can he well understood when we inform our readers that near one , of them was the dressing room of tho priii j cipal dansetiM! of the establishment, who was at tl 10 time of the lising of the curtain consulting a mirror in regard to the effect produced by the application of a rouge i laden rahhit's foot to her cheeks and whose | toilet we must icmaik, jhiatim, was not en- | lirelv completed. ( The pertormanco was commenced by the ] landlord, a dapp- r little Frenchman, in his ( J shut sleeves, who Inarched out into tho ecu- | ter of the stage, and, alter having recognis : , ed several of his acquaintances in the audi- ( enco before him with familiar bows and j j winks, gave the signal to the or.dic-tra, and ( j sang, in a chirping, cheerful manner, a | ( Kieiich love-song, which pleased immense | | ly, and which w.?s ciicucd. The song was j | repealed; the little landlord bowed, and the ' | | curtain descended amidst a whiilw'nid of ] j applause. An intermission of "fifteen minj ute> ft?r refreshments" en?ued. The wait! ers, French, Ir -li, and Herman girls, Hew , around with busy zeal, dispensing the pop War beverage; fro?h cigars were lighted,'lie conversation was resumed. and Anally \ reached sucli a pitch ? f enthusiasm, that ! j thoic was a very fair prospect of a pretty j little row; when the hell rang, the curtain ascended, ami the orchestra struck up. This time, a youthful < human, with an incipient mustache, and an exceedingly dirty guitar, appeared and sang a German son>_?. Ho i fini-hed, bowed meekly to the thunders of j applause, and disappeared. He was follow- , ed bv a verv sickly ami rcmarkahly de- f : bandied looking young Frenchman, with a rakish mustache, who sang a French amorous song with so much unction, that the cheeks of a fair but we Ion a frail French girl, who sat opposite us, were tinged with a slight bh;-h; and she cast her eyes, first at it*, to learn whether we understood the language, and then with modesty (?) to the : tloor. Tho sot)g, of course, was receiver 1 with rapture, and was loudly encored. It was repeater!, with vaiiations, ami tho performer lelired. Ho was followed by the danseu*e, who made tho most of tlio small stage, and who was also encored. Next came an American gentleman, verv se.dy, very tall, and verv impudent. He sang Jordan s" <i hurl rood lo trnhbel, and retired. He was not encored. The cut tain went down; lag.-r birr again flowed freely, the tongues of the audience wore again let loose, and, as before, a riot was prevented by the ringing of the boll. The curtain arose, and a curious spectacle met tho gaze of tho audience. Our first thoughts were of tho Snanish InrpiUition, and wo fancied we saw before us a victim undergoing the torture. Upon the stage stood n man, strapped to a harp; upon his back lie ear ried a lingo hass-drum, a drum stick was fastened to lbs left elbow, his lips were applied to a set of I'andean pipes, which wrns fastened securely under his chili; a trumpet was attached to the harp, in a convenient position to he used occasionally; a pair of ......I...1. t it- .11 . . ...x.i.r. .u-111 i.oii'ilt'M IMHWCeil Hie KIlOl's of the performer; a small drum was placed near lite fool of Ilie Itarp, ami was worked some way or oilier, wo know not how; a triangle was also worked in sonic mysterious manner, and, to crown all, ho wore upon his head a helmet of hells, which ^ sounded whenever ho moved. Silence reigned throughout the room. Expectation was at its height. Suddenly the performer i screwed his head around with fearful violence; a wild, unearthly sound eamc from the pipes; with h spasmodic movement of his whole body lite drum was struck, the harp was sounded, tho cvinhals clashed, the triangle struck, lite kettle drum beaten, the bolls rung, and the room was filled wi:h a musical tempest, while the shrill sound of the F;ndcan pipei rang out over all w:th errible effect. Another spasm, and ano luirst of music; now the porfornier wiit '.rambled, and perspired; the spirit* of sntv thousand demons seemed to have wssed him; he puffed, panted,and wrigj, !iis*Vycs seemed bursting from their s ^ts; the uproar ho produced was fen vVo trembled, and wero rejoiced wher mddenly removed his lifts from llio f md nftjtlied them to the month piece o( trumpet, and concluded his perform: with a ra, ta, ta, which made the very pg shake. The curtain descended an the plaudits of the wonuering audience; we, overpowered bv the beat of the r md the intensity of the music we bad Ik returned to tbo fresh air, and nought edging*. Thus ended our first nigh lie "Free Concerts." We have visited n daces of tbo kind, and may, in a fu number, rocord what we saw and h .here, for tho benefit of our reader*. Man, Physiologically.
