There are yet no tidings of the Canada. She is IN

Important from washington.

Our Geographic advices from Washington are
of an animated character. 1t will be seen that the
slavery question, connected with the new terrific.
ries, has opened in the Senate with considerable
warmth, and is likely to lead to some important
debates on the subject. Messrs. Calhoun and
Benton have set the ball in motion, by getting
very much excited on the presentation of petit
ton from New Mexico. See our telegraphlc

The ITALIAN OrERA.-ANorHER Row.-From
the following, which we extract from the official
organ Of Mr.. Fry, the Courier e. Enquirer, it will
be perceived that there is every prospect of another
emeute at the Astor Place Opera House -
sgnor Bsnsdetti, while singing solo, took the un.
ewax4ntsbe liberty Of turning to the orchestra and
beaeng time emphatcaly with head and hshf1<t1ng
three or four bars and We not surprisc ~ y
members. Had the director been the moof humbls
tyro the act would have been inexcusabls but that
a man Of NJ Mszstnk's great talent and acknov-
lodged position should be scAooled before the publ
by one so ignorant q music ~ Signor Benedict is
unepdurable. NJ Msretzek, were glad to see bore
this piece Of assurance with equanimity
In connection with this subject, it may be re-
marked, that the audiences at the Opera House
have become alarmingy thin, and that, to increase
them, and add funds to the treasury of the estab-
lshment, another row is on the taps, and will,
no doubt, soon take place. This seems to be a
part Of Mr.. Fry's tactics, that we hear so much
about, and which, thus far at all events have an
swered the desired purpose because the house
never was so full as 1t was during the excitement
that attended the row between Benedetti and the
manager short time since. We would suggest,
however, that more success would probably attend
this second row, If 1t took place before the curtain
inste ad Of behind It, and then the audience will be
larger, and an opportunity will be afforded TO the
public to decide on the merits.
BY the way, we perceive it Is stated, IN some
quarters, that fresh importation of artists has
been ordered for this establishment, and that they
are expected to arrive here shortly. If this be
true, we suppose the old ones will be sent adrlft
as soon as possible and their places filled by the
new corners. In anticipation of this, it would be
good policy for the old artists to clear out them
selves from that establishment for they can get
good engagements at a moments notice at other
houses, where they would have full houses, splen-
did applause, and gentemanly treatment, without
any fights in the green-room

Mr. GoppARp made q motion to take up Mr.. Ash
bolds repudiating resolutions referred to yesterday
An exciting debate followed.
Mr.. EwrNo opposed the motion. He thought the
line for action had not yet come.
Mr.. GoppARD said II made little difference whether
the resolutions taken up not-the at had gone
forth that no power short Of bayonets should collect
taxes during the Reorganization Of this assembly.
Mr. WHrrMAr said that the democratic members long
since had written to the county to withhold
the taxes

vote Of 80 to G.
And the Senate adjourned.
The same scenes were enacted to day. as were

that the democrats had made or contemplated making
propositions to the wings The rumor however, is not
confirmed.

The Second "Leonidas.

The Loco papers are striving hard TO bolster
up the reputation OF tie renowned Pillow
Perhaps with the design Of making him "a can :
didate for the Presidency; thinking, i may
be, that as all hraggarts are cowards. he must
run ,ceH, or that with his military skill re cam
not fail to e,strench himself in the affections OF
the people. 1t is thought that c delegation
will be sent across the Atlantic, TO see ii hie
pedigree cannot be traced back TO old "Leosss
das," in order that the faulo OF the old Gre
clan may serve him as good tu-E. as tia. OF
old Hickory did Pres;den: Polk. Some OF the
faithful, already, begin to compare the merits
of the old and young Leonidas, and think that
the scales preponderate in favor OF the Latter,
inasmuch as it mus: be easier TO defend the
pass of Thermopyla than the pass Of Santa
Anna. Inquiries have also been made as 20
what Pillow has been stuffed with, as it lie
thought if it was with anything pertaining to
goose, some capital might be made by alleg :
ing that the goose was descendant Of the
gander that warned Rome of the approach OF
the Gauls. And, by the way, it may be well
to remark that most people think this Pillow
must be doca as he is so remarkably soft, but
as to this it is impossible to tell, since he has
been Se,cc6 up by Scott.
