y
We learn that initiatory steps have been taken
for the creation of an immense Opera House, one
worthy of the magnitude of the Metropolis Of the
Western World, and OF the genius of the famous
Impresario who is supposed to be the main mover
in the enterprise. Within short time, the Stuy-
vesant Heirs have sold the plot of ground bound
ed by Third.av. Astor-place, Fourth-ay. and
Ninth-st the place lately occupied by the Mena
gerie and Circus for the sum of So, 600. 1t is
intended to erect thereon splendid Opera
House, covering the entire space, capable of seat
ing five six thousand persons md having en-.
frances on each of the four Sides so that the
greatest crowds can be dismissed or received
speedily and without danger. The building will
be about the same shape az the present Opera
House, but it will be four or five times as large
it is to cost not less than 100000, and will proba
bly, come nearer s2000O0,-to be equal to the
frst,class Opera Houses of London and Paris
There are two names rumored in connection with
the enterprise-L umley of London and Paris, and
Marti the head of the Italian Company. 1t is
understood that the great London manager, Lum
lev, is the man and that he intends to put New
York on par with the European capitals in
musical celebrity-thet all the stars who shine
beneath his transatlantic Direction viii rise
within cur hemisphere-n short, that New-York
shall not be behind any city in the world so far as
musical art and artists are concerned. We learn
that the contracts for the ground are ready for
signatures, but that the illness OF some of the
parties has temporarily postponed this concluding
act.

CITY ITEMS.

u Better weather could not have been rea,
sonably wished for than was yesterday. Clouds
that were scarcely clouds attended the sunbeams
a breeze that was less than breeze stirred the
atmosphere; the bluff freshness of the North and
the languid ardency of the South, overcame and
neuraized each other and, with the modified
light, produced just such day and night, as the
greatest good of the greatest number would
have selected from the three hundred and sixty,
five of the waning year. The weather itself was
a potent additional reason-a sort of pleasant
Postscript to the Civic Proclamation FOR Thanks

THE r UBLIC..
WASHING
THURSDAY MORNING. JANUARY "a. 1850
Congress.

Congress.
In the Senate, yesterday, after the
transaction of sundry preliminary BUSH
ness, the motion to print the resolutions
of the State of Vermont on the subject of
slavery came up, when Mr.. PHELPS adj
dressed the Senate at length. When he
had concluded, on motion of Mr.. BUTLER,
the Senate took up the bill making fur
Their provision for the capture of fugitive
slaves; after which that body adjourned.
The House, after adopting resolution
in regard to taking testimony in the mat
ter of the contested election in Iowa, pro-
ceeded to consider the motion OF Mr..
VENABLE, to refer the recent message Of
the PRESIDENT and the accompanying
documents, in regard to the territories,
to the Committee on Territories. Mr..
CLINGMAN was entitled to the floor, but
gave way to Mr.. Seldom, who made a
speech upon the message, of which a
synopsis will be found in another column.
When he had finished, with characteristic
liberality, Mr.. McCLERNAND moved that
the message and documents should be re-
ferred to the Committee Of the Whole on
the state of the Union, and demanded
the previous question. Such reference
would prevent report upon the subject,
and TO this extent relieve the Locofocos
from responsibility, and deprive the Ad-
ministration Of the opportunity to place
their policy properly before the country.
The Speaker ruled, however, that the
motion to refer to the Committee on Ter
ritories had precedence, and without fur
Their action, the House adjourned.
