but contaminate others, and they will fly from a
pursuit so degrading, and the evil will be remedied
| These are the two remedies for the evil we beg
leave to suggest to the attention Of the public.
We wish they could be kept before the people, until
| all were impressed with their vital importance.
| We should then have no more ou.rages in the re-
preventative hall of Congress, as described in the
| commencement of this article If our free insl-
tuons were carried out in their true spirit, the
brawler and rowdy would not desecrate our halls
| of legislation.
| INTERESTING FROM ALBANY.-We have received
the legislative proceedings of Wednesday They

| There is at least one point in the above proceed

classes especially. We refer to the movement on
the militia BILL 1t is really to be hoped that parades
will wholly be dispensed with, and an enrolment
ordered in their place they sufficient for any
purpose. The working classes have too long been
the sufferers Of the heartless militia fine collectors,
and we are glad to see the Legislature at last mo-
wing in the right spirit in this matter.
REPEAL IN BosToN.-We perceive that the Irish
Repeaers in Boston are alive and kicking. They
had large meeting in Faneuil Hall the other night
and collected $500 blood money, or prison-money
or fool'smoney, as it might better be called; and
we learn that in few nights they are to have a
grand ball, and dance down all opposition to repae
| from whatever quarter 1t may proceed. We are
glad to hear that IN some part of the country such
| thing live repeater is to be found. Ever since
the victory of the Native Americans in this city, we
have not heard word of them in New York, and
we shall have to advertise and offer reward for a
specimen, if such thing actually exists hereabouts
LATE FROM ST DoMINGo.-We learn from Capt
Clark, of the Waterman, arrived yesterday from
st. Domingo city, with advlces to the End instant,
that the inhabitants greatly alarmed about the
blacks, in case they should march on the city. 1t
was thought that they would massacre the inhabi-
tants. All the whites were removing to ST. Thomas
and Curacao, &c, taking with them all their mer-
chandisc and plate.
| There was at st. Domingo city French sloop-ot-
war waiting the orders of the French Consul.
| 1t was currently reported that the French were
about taking possession of the French part of the
| island.
| THEATRIcAL.-THE PARK.-There was a most
excellent house at the Park to witness the reap
pearance OF the Seguns, last night The dress
circle was quite crowded, and looked like the for
mer and better days of Old Drury. Mrs Seguin,
| when she first came the stage, was received
with great enthusiasm, as was also Mr.. Shrvall.
Segun himself received most lattering reception.
The Postillion at Lonjuneaw was the opera chosen
for this the first night of these old and established
favorites and they never sustained their parts bet
| ter. Mrs. Segun, as Madeline, exhibited in her
acting a great deal more spirit and life than We
ever saw in any of her performances, and her sing
ing at all events pleased the audience sufficiently,
if enthusiastic pleudits were a true indication of
their feelings. She was, indeed, in excellent voice
and sang charmingly. Seguin appeared in fine
spirits, and was in very good voice. Mr.. Shrivall
seemed somewhat lacking in energy, but acquitted
| himself well. The chorusses were really tolerabe
and Mr.. Andrews, as the Marquis, at any rate, did
his best to sustain the character. The whole per
Torrance went of delightfully."- Tonight La Som

This affair went off with great <clat. The Taber.

audiences we ever saw collected within its walls
The immense number of lovely and elegantly
dressed ladies', and the brethren in their regalla
rendered the scene one of the most agreeable ant
interesting that could be imagined. The singing

applause. Miss Taylor was also much appauded

however, was made by Signor San Quirco in the
grand bufa aria from Cinderella. This was, indeed
most magnificent effort, and excited the most en-
thusiastc applause. The Signor is wonderful
artist, and must reap great harvest ofpopuarity
in the coming opera season. Mr.. Marks perform
