TuEATRicAL.-Our little Theatre was re-
opened on Tuesday evening last, by Messrs.
IIoupt :; Barrett, Managers of the Boston
Lion Theatre. They arc last from Provi-
dcncc, where we learn they have been doing
a preity fair business for some time past
much to the amusement and satisfaction no
doubt of all concerned. We hope they will
do at least as well in this place. The en-
gagcment of Mr.. and Mrs. BALLS, twho are
among the most talented performers in the
country at the opening, certainly evinced
disposition on the part Of the managers, TO
crafty the public. We have not time at
present to speak particularly Of the respcc-
tive merits Of the several performers con-
nec.ed with this company:-s suffice to say
Mr. and Mrs. lIoupt, and Mr.. Schlnotti are

Miss Woodey is very respectable, md ia

eft this evening. One more deserving Il
bumper than Mr.. B. has not come before

WE AREPASSING AWAY.

When we look abroad over the face
of nature, we are continually remin'
ded that all things which are OF eaflhs
shall pass away. The dew drop GUT
ters like a diamond at early dawn--a
few moments, and it has vanished
from our sight. We have the mild
sunshine of April morning. but we
look again, and dark cloud cbscuers
our vision. We admire the bright
color of the flower Of sum mer which
scatlers its fragrance to the breeze,
but while we inhale its sweet perfume
it withers and falls TO the ground. The
scared and faded leaf Of autumn, as il
Aoats on the gale, and the sun when Il
sinks 10 the western horizon, should
be TO US a voice, speaking 10 a Ian!
susge not 10 be mistaken-Ye too are
passing away.
Let US reverse the picture. As the
dew shall return with the evening, and
the morning shall be succeeded BY the
show Of promise;" and the hue' OF
summer, which is displaced BY The 80
ber tints Of autumn shall be removed
by the breath Of anOlhef spring, 80

IN SENATE TUESDAY, April IL
SLAVERY IN ARKANSAS.

Mr. Clay rose to present several petitions
which had come into his hands. They
were signed by citizens Of Philadelphia
many Of whom were known to be of the
first Responsibility, and the Others were,
no doubt, entitled to the highest consider
alton. The petitions were directed against
the admission Of Arkansas into the Union,
viii e there was a clause in her Constitu-
ton prohibiting any future Legislation for
the abolition Of slavery within her limits.
He had felt considerable doubt as to the
proper disposition which he should make
Of these petitions, while he wished to ac-
quit himself of the duty entrusted to him.
! The hill for the admission Of Arkansas
had passed the Senate, and gene to the
other House. 1t was possible that it
would be returned from that branch with
an amendment, which would bring this
subject into consideration. He wished
the petitioners had selected some other or
gan. He did not concur in the prayer o.
the petitioners. He thought that Arkan
sas, and another State or Territory south
Of 40 degrees, had the entire right, accord
lag to Tie compromise made on the Mis-
souri, question, to frame its Constitution
in reference to slavery, as it might thinl
proper He adhered to the opinions OF
this point which he held on former mem
orable occasion, which would be IN tn
recollection of Senators. He would onl,
ask that one Of these memorials be reac
. and that the whole ofthem should then b
laid on the table.
Mr. King of ALBANIA, expressed his rt
gret that the Senator from kentucky, ha

h gress ofwhich it was probable that tn
