Mrs. Howard's Benefit.-A friend requests
the publication of the following notice OF the per-
formances at Risey's popular theatrical establish
ment
On Saturday evening the Variete was thronged,
at early hour, by large and respectable COM
pany This was a merited. compliment to the yer-
sate and accomplished artiste, who has succeeded
so efectually in carrying captive the hearts OF all
lovers of the legitimate drama and genial song.
Mrs. Howard sustained with great skill and
naiUete, the character of Laura Lesson in the
new and elegant drama Of Time Tries AL
Mr.. Gallaghers personation Of Mathew Bates"
was worthy of the highest commentator, and in
the character Of "Mr. Leeson," Mr.. Atemus ac-
Quilted himself in manner that reflected the
highest credit.
Tom Tact" by Mr.. Robinson, could not have
been rendered better-and it is enough to say, that
he kept the house in a roar.
Mr.. Morton as Ch rles Clinton" is deserving
Of praise. There is not quite life enough in him ;
STILL he has ability, and with little more study
and nicer attention to gesture and modulation of
his voice, he will become good actor There is
nothing like practice and perseverance hence
young man should never despair. Some OF the
geniuses in the profession have been men who
gave little promise in their histrionic novceshp.
The crowning piece of the evening the
farce of the Rough Diamond, in which Mrs. How
ards impersonation OF" Margery' was so natural,
80 inimitable, and, yet, so udicrously conceived,
as to keep the whole house in the most unmstak-
able merriment.
She was well sustained by Mr.. S. Savage
" Sir VIM. Evergreen" Mr.. S. is possessed of
ability, has good sonorous voice, and with tact
and application, by thus appearing TO greater ad-
vantage, will become prominent in his profession.
There is one thing we would suggest TO some
Of our theatrical friends that is, in the dialogue,
not to look and address themselves too much TO
the audience. 1t destroys the naturalness Of the
scene, and often borders on the ridiculous.
But word TO the wise is sufficient this obser-
walton is dictated by the best motives and will
initiate for the interest and favor of the actors
We have no right to expect perfection; but
ours is progressive country, why there is no
thing like trying.

brought down thunders of applause Mr.. d.
kindly volunteered on this occasion, for the benefit
Of Mrs. Howard.

Meeting of Congress.--A bright, beautiful
day was yesterday. Before the hour of twelve
the galleries of the House of Representative
were crowded with both ladies and gentlemen, TO
witness the opening, so far as that branch was
concerned, of the thirty-third Congress. From
their elevation they looked down upon the con-
fused scene of members, who were engaged in
conversation and exchanging friendly congratula-
tons, apart from any political differences what
ever The loud and hearty laugh was occasion
ally heard above the din of human voices and all
seemed happy that they were assembled al such a
propitious era in our country's history.
Representatives fresh from the people, many
Of them here in legislative capacity for the first
time, and more experienced ones, alike COM
mingled in the joyous scene II was gratifying
10 see them all standing upon the social plat
FORM" where, we trust, they will continue, with
out finching during their present term Of service
The clerk having called the house 10 order, the
members suddenly ceased their conversation, and
took their seats, and at once assumed the charac-
ter of legislators.
During the day, while the drawing for seats was
in progress, Mr.. Sollers Of Maryland, selected one
directly in front Of the Speaker, the first on the
right of the main isle. He wrote his name, and
placed it on the desk and then retired from il.
The name Of Colonel Benton shortly AFTER
wards called, and he, seeing nobody in the seat
approached for the purpose Of selecting it. Just
at this time, Mr.. Sellers returned, and said TO the
Speaker, that it was his seat. The presiding officer
reminded the gentleman that when member Sc
lected his seat, it was requisite for him TO occupy
it. Colonel Benton then left that neighborhood;
but not long from that time, he and Mr.. Sellers
were again seen in that locality together; and
from what we could understand, the Marylander
courteously resigned to the Missourian, (vho Sc
veral days since had temporarily selected the seat
formerly occupied by the late John Quincy Adams.)
The proceedings attending the selection of seats
were conducted with less confusion than per-
sons who did not witness them would imagine.
