the proposed constitution.
Maj. for constitution, 1903

The constitution of the young state ofll-
linois seems 10 have caught hint from the
times and 10 have made several provi-
sions peculiar 10 itself, on three subjects
which have been so lately and vehemently
canvassed, TO wit. the doctrine of legisla-
tive contempts, the right Of instruction and
Banks, as follows.
Contempt.-Each house maypunish by
Imprisonment during its session, any per-
son, not member, who shall be guilty OF
disrespect TO the house, by any disorderly
or contemptuous behaviour in their pre-
sence: provided such Imprisonment shall
not at any one time, exceed twenty four
hours"
Right Of hstruction.-That the people
have right to assemble in peaceable
and respectable manner TO consult for their
common GOOD, 10 instruct their representa-
tires, and to apply to the General Assem-
bly, for redress OF grievances.
Banks.-Tbat there shall be no other
banks or monied institutions in this state,
but those already provided by law, except
state hank and its branches, which may
be established and regulated by the Gene
raj Assembly Of the state, as they may
think proper" Richmond Inquirer.
Petersburg, October 9.
THEATRE.-The new Theatre in this
town win open on Monday next, with To-
bins popular comedy called the Honey
Moor, and the afterpiece Of Fortunes Fro
lick. An ode by M'Creey, "the son Of
song" will precede the evenings amuse-
ment. We have not yet seen the names Of
those who compose Mr.. Caldwell's Corps
Dramatique We cannot, therefore, speak
of the FORCE or the CHARACTER OF the COM
pany, but KNOWING it to be Mr.. Caldwel's
INTEREST to have an efficient body of his
trionic veterans, we PRESUME he has not
been unmindful of the first duty OF a mana
ger. IL will depend on HIM, to what eX-
tent the people Of Petersburg will afford
that encouragement, so absolutely neces-
sary to the complete success of theatrical
representations. THEIR liberality is known.
II has been tested on too many occasions
to be doubted al this day; and it will de-
pend on him alone, whether he rises or
falls in his present enterprise.
We make these remarks with no other
view than TO benefit the manager OF the the
atre. We admire histronic representa-
tions-we belive them to be susceptible
of much public good, when properly con-
| Quoted, and the selections made with a
due regard TO their moral tendency.
