Following tlx; above advice of the old puritan, honest John Milton, wo. on Monday ev? niiig last* repaired to the llnll of tlnj" Thespians, and though we had l.ot the pleasure of I listening to Jousoii or Shnkspeare, we were, | we suppose equally well entertained, by their ! very worthy dramatic giiccessors. The home j whs crowded ; the front scats by youth and . beauty, whose encouraging smiles lent inspiration to the performers; whilst in the rear the | sterner sex were prepared to award some winit more noisy demonstrations of approval. The performances commenced with the entertaining farce "Ji'acal / .'ng-irjanaUii." Mr. \V. L.. n? "Admiral Kingston,"-g?vo us a tino delincation of tlie character of the brave oKI English tar; frnuk, generous and impulsive; j ready to take offence; y? t soon appeased; whilst in Mr. M., as "Lieut. Kingston," we hn-l I n "chip of the old block ;" t!:c Minu generous | impulse, with more of youthful fire. "Tony Lumpkin," iu the person of "Dennis," nmdc | many good hits, which brought down the house; yet the character afforded too limiteil a scope for the exorcise of his peculiar abilities. The character of "mine host" was well represented by Mr. 1)., ami Messrs. R. W. mid (J. \\\, in the persons of Mr*. Pontifex and Miss Mortimer, respectively, were in look, tune, gesture und apparel, all that we could wish. In the amusing afterpiece, "JlaUivff the Mr. J.

The other characters were all admirably sustained, and the interest maintained to the close. By way of interlude we had an Irish song from Mr. J., and some excellent performances on the violin by that accomplished musician, Mr. llosthchild, who, "With many a winding bout wi niikcu sweetness long drawn out," evoked the most rapturous npplaurfe, and euthusiustic eucorca. The Thespians will give another of their entertainments, early in the ensuing year, au<l we\ru?t that their unsparing efforts to please, will be again rewarded, with due encouragement, ou the part of the public. Tho Commercial Convention at Savannah. This body was orgnnized at Savannah Ga., on Monday 8th inst., by the election of James Lyons of Virginia as President, and a VicePresident from each State represented. Mr. Lyons in taking the Chair, made a long speech, iu which lie asserted the wish of the bontli to maintain the L'uion and Constitution, but that she ought to prepare for conlingeneos." We subjoin a short summary of the proceedings. fcECONO <1 AY. December Otli. TliePresident announced the Committee on business. Various resolutions were ottered which were referred to 6aid Committee. Mr. Peoples of Georgia, moved, tlintcaeh nieiiiber subscribe $1U0, towards a diieet line of Steamers to Europe. The motion was adopted, but reconsidered and referred.* Mr. licthuneof Georgia, made a lotigspceeh in favor of the abolishment of the tariff, and the raising of a revenue to support the Government by direct taxation. Mr. Keau of Virginia, offered a scries of resolutions deprecating tho education of Southern youth at the North, and advocating the encour agemcut of Southern books, papers ami uiauufuvutrca. Mr. Goulding of Georgia offered nomc resolutions instructing Southern Congressmen, to uso efforts for tlie repeal of tliu tariff, anil of tlie laws restricting the Slave trade, and to procure a treaty for the rendition vf Slaves from Canadiu, which were laid on the table. Judge Moore of Alabama, offered a resolution in favor of a Railroad to the.Pacific, along the para.el of latitude; which was ret'ered. THIUD DAY. Mr. Jones of Georgia, moved to take from ttic tablu Mr. Gouldings resolution relative to the ro opening of the Sluve trade.. The motion was advocated by Mr. Spratt, editor ot the Charleston Standard, who thought tlie. Gonvcution should meet the' question at onco, by refusing to reorganize tlie right of Congress to impose restrietiou on the* Sluve trade. Mr. Huuter of Virgiuia, considered Ibis a great moral question, which the South should consider long before denying the opinion of of the whole Christian world. Those views were supported also by Messrs. Richuidsou of Maryland and Gholson of Virginia. Mr. Goulding, ot 6a., made a brief speech in defence of the Slave trade; in which lie affirmed that it was a greater sin to tear Kilobaud from wife in Virginia, than to purchase the negro iu Africa, and to christianize, and civilice liim. Thcstj views were endorsed by Messrs. Copper aud Orecti of Virginia, aud MoLeod of Texas!

Mr. Calhoun, of South Carolina, assured the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Seott) that when the time came for the demand for more slave labor than this country could supply, it would be forthcoming, notwithstanding what might be done now iu reference to the Africuu hlavt trade. FOURTH 1>AY.
