The Senate is waiting upon the House Of Repre-

contested seals--John Q. Adams in the Chair.
They have decided that none of the seats con-
tested by the New Jersey men shall be filed at
present They have also decided that Mr.. Nay
lor of Pennsylvania is entitled 10 his scat And,
on Thursday last the Clerk proceeded 10 finish
the call of the roll and when he had got through,
and we thought the House in fair way for orga-
nizing, another question was raised-relaling to
the contests--whieh detained the House the re-
mander Of the days sitting. Still. with all this
vexaiious delay, we hope by next Saturday to be
enabled TO give our readers condensed report of
the 1'oenty-sirh Congress OF the U. S.-no, the
partisan intrigues and political harangues Of aspi
ring men, as we would now be obliged to do

ZEE IHEATRE.-W perceive that this estab-
lishment is in operation. Not having been at any
OF their performances, we cannot say any thing
for or against them. We see, though from their
advertisements, that if a man takes $5 note
there, he can get admit tance TO the parquet and
boxes for 81 40 cents; but, if he does not like
that, let him take ninety cents in specie, and he
can have the same privilege. Now, as our spe-
Gle is scarce, we do not like to pay ninety cents
to crticise play and we have determined not to
pay 81 40 cents this season to Messrs. Ward and
Walton for that purpose. The retore, if our rea-
ders wish to know what is going on at the " Ma
tional," they will have to see for themselves. We
wish the Managers success, and if they pursue
the right course, we are persuaded they will meet
it. In 'sdays of yore," when Jefferson and War
rem conducted our g Washington" they were
well upported-because they gave us the first
Theatrical talent in the country. We opine the
Managers of the 9 National will never "put
money in their purses" by singing to US. But
if they will "speak the speech Of Shakespeare
and other illustrious writers-or, in other words,
if they will give us the "legitmae Drama" in its
purity, we think they will have nothing to com
plain Of when the season closes. We hope they
will do better than the following article, which
we clip from the Metropolis, (whose Editor, by
the by, is Judge of such mat:ers) would ind-

PERSEVERANCE FIRE COMPANY BALL.--By
reference to our advertising columns, in will be
perceived that next Thursday night the 10Th inst,
is set apart by this Company, for the purpose of
holding Ball. The Masonic Hall, on A ] street,
has been engaged and if we are permitted to
PREJUDICE this Ball, by the one they gave last
year, we can safely say, it cannot be surpassed;
for, we never saw one conducted better, got up
with greater taste, that gave more general sat
sfacon. The same care and attention is being
bestowed, to render this equally worthy the pat
ronage Of our citizens. Aside from all this, the
object is entitled to great attention. The Com
pany is in considerable debt, for their apparatus,
and the beautiful building they have erected as
their depository and place of meetings. The in
tenton in getting up the Ball is to decrease, if
possible, this debt. The most Of the apparatus,
and the building, has been paid for by individual
dated by the members. This Company, (as we'll
as all others in the City, is never backward i'll
the hour Of danger and need ; and we hope that
our citizens will come forward and patronise their
undertaking literally. Let every owner of prop
erty, whether he attends or not, purchase ticket,
and thus give token Of attesation to the disner-
ested motives Of this Ball. We know it is un-
necessary to say word to the Ladies, for their
smiles of appreciation will be with those who they
know are ever ready to fly to their rescue ; there
fore, gentlemen, if you wish to the congre-
gated beauty Of Washington, visit the Hall, and
! you will not be disappointed.
