The company is full and effective, the manager capable the orchestra competent, and the building itself renovated - and improved. There is every reason to anticipate a successful season, as the prosperity which so generally prevails will enable our citizens to bestow a liberal patronage on theatrical entertainments.

'The question now seeis to have ontered a now phaze that of territories generally, and at tihe pres eitntime there are three plans before con. gress for'thetsettlement of the vexed ques. tion. The first is that of is Gen. Ileerezs whielihas been presented in the form or 2 preamble and-resolution, declaring 'that a the Congress of "tihe United States possesset no power over the subject of negro slavery within the limits of the Union, either to pro hibit or interfere with it in the States, Terri. tories or Districts, where, by municipal law, it now exists, or to eistablish it in ny Ter ritory or District, and that as the people ir Territories hmve the same inherent right o self-government as this peopk in the. State., if, in the exercise of such inherent rights tle people in the newly acquired Territories, by the annexation of Texasv and the acquisition of California and MexicoSouth of tihe paral. lei of 30 degrees 30 minutes of North lati. tude, extending to the Pacific ocean, shall es. tablish negro slavery or prohibit it, such es. tablishment or prohibition of negro slavery in the formation of their Siate governments, shall be deemed no objection to their adnmis. sion as a State or States into the Unibn, in accordance with the Constitution *o the Uni. ted States.' The objectionable features of this'bill is that it delegate powers to a certain portion of the inhabitants of a territory whilst it denies the assembled representatives of the whole Union, in Congress tihe same powers. The Second is AMr. Bemton's bill, by far tihe most important one as far as the South is con. cerned. It makes a simple profession of re. duction in the size of the State of Texas, so as to form tbree new territories anil conse quently engraft free-soilism in a slave-hold. ing State aid ins tie inidst of the Southern country. It assumes "dalt all time territory micluded in the Texas annexation to the North of 30 30 was subject to the restriction which was applied to Oregon, and which thz Free Solerd are attempting to extend to California. Tie following are the principal provisionsof Mr. Benton's hill:-i. That time State of Texas shall reduce her boundary on tihe West to the one hundred and second degree of West longitude, from tihe meredian of Greemwich; and on the North to the Main or Salt Fork of the Red River, between the Parallel of one hundrod and two degrees o West longitude. 2. That when the popula tion of said State shall equal or exceed 100, 000 souls, West of the line formed by the 98th Ilegee of West longitude, and by the river Colorado, from its mouthI to its intersec. tion by said paralle!, thei tihe State of Tex as will further reduce hier Western bounda. rv to that line; and the part of Texas lying V'est of that line, as reduced by time first ar ticle of this agreement, shall be and remain a separate Slate, entitled to immediato admis sioi anto the Federal Union, on ani equal foot. ing with the original States. 3. The State of 'Texas to cede to the Uni. ted States all her territory exte'rior to the linits to which she reduces herselby the irst article of this agreement. Thiero are three other stipulations, f rovid ing for ihe relintquishment of all claims upon thme United States for liability of the debts of Texas, and foJr cormpensa tion or idemnnitv for the surrender to thme'United States of lme'r ships, ports, :irsen-~ai-, &c , which became th-., property of the Uniitedl &States at the time o: annmexatoon, anmd lie United States, in consid. erationof said redimction of bmndaries, ces sini of terrtor/. .and relinism enmt of clainim, ii p jay t, time State of Texas the sum omf fiftieenm mil'ioms rf dollars, in a stoc~ik hearing 5i per cent imnteremoi, rodeemnable at the end of fourteen years. The following explanations from Mr. Ben ton acecompanied his bill:-"'lme bill imakes a proposal to Texas for the reduction of her limits. She covers sixteen degrees of hati tude and fourteen of longitude. She extends from 26 to 412 degrees oit North hatitumde, ammd from 96 mo 1 t) at West longmtude; that is to say from four degrees south of New Orleam's to near four degrees northm of St. Loumis, aind from time longtimde of Wecsternm Mssouri to thme sununit of the Ro.cky mMountmamns.
