The Thespians.
"Then to the well trod stage anon,
Jf Jot.soil's learned soek'beon,
Or sweetest Shnkfpcare, Fancy's child,
VVaible his native wood-notes.wild."
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. G. \V., presented nn excellent
r^nri'Soiitntion nf tlio <>?.?* nnhol?nln?n- 1
ready aptness of "Jcramy Diddler the perl
impudence and sly humor of the waiter "Sam"
was well personated by Mr. I<.; whilst Mr. II.
exhibited the various accomplishments of "Miss
Laura Durable," to the no small amusement of
the audience. 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! ' ' : '

were extended, tlio slave labor must be drawn
from the older State*, and Virgiuin, Maryland,
Kentucky, and Delaware, if not Missouri
would be compelled to employ free labor, and
must eventually become free States.
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.
Resolutions in favor of free trade, and direct
taxation were laid on the table, by a voti
of 57 to '2-1, but were afterwards reconsidered,

There is an additional and very touching
interest attracted to these volumes in the fact
