there is generally no stint to the applause, be.
cause, the play being over, the audience have
time for it, and those who, like US, have come
fresh from the spirit of such scene, should
be excused for speaking of it with some en-
thusiasm. There is so much bad acting on the
stage, that little fervor can be permitted in
speaking of the good, and large allowance can
be made for any excess of praise that is di.
rected upon genius united with personal worth.
We are not blind to the errors of Miss Heron;
she is young upon the stage, and will in time
correct them; and it is much better she should
correct them for herself, than by others teach
ing. Genius is so constituted, that it cannot
take advice. Could it follow direction, it would
not be genius; so like all of her stamp, Matilda
Heron must plunge on through her errors in
her own way, and, with the aid of experience
and ripening reflection, prune her style of what
ever extravagances and crude imperfection
that now impair it.
We take great pleasure, however, in calling
attention to her merits. She has courageously
appealed to California 10 analyze her, to put
the stamp of its judgment upon her; and Cali
fornia has done it as becomes its sense, aud
intends to send her forth, if only as an adyer-
tisement of our intelligence, to claim the ad
miration of the world, wherever the language
of our land is spoken!

CONGRESS-.

In the Senate, yesterday, the private calendar
was under consideration, and forty-eight bills
were passed. Two other bills, one changing
the name of a vessel and the other establishing
additional land districts in Minnesota, were also
passed. The Senate then adjourned till Mon.
day.
In the House of Representatives, the bill
empowering the Postmaster General to con-
tract for carrying the united States mails be.
tween New Orleans and San Francisco, accord
ing to time, was discussed during the morning
hour. Mr.. Parker, from the Committee on the
Judiciary, reported a bill making an appropria.
ton in aid of the prosecution of the Martha
Washington conspirators, in Arkansas, and it
was referred to the Committee of the Whole on
the State of the Union. The general appro-
priation bill was taken up in committee, when
MIR. Caruthers made speech in support of the
Nebraska-Kansa bill, and Mr.. Washburn, Of
Maine, spoke in opposition to it. The House
adjourned until Monday.

Turkey--Bethrothal of the Sultan,s
Daughters.

The Constantinople correspondent of the
London Times, dated February 25, says:
Yesterday the legal confirmation of the be-
throthal of the sultan's daughter, (Sultana
Fathma,) aged fourteen, to Redschid Pasha's
son, Ali Galih,) aged txenty-one, was cele-
brated at the sultan's palace with much pomp.
long train of men, bearing on their heads
trays oftruit, flowing brocades, jewels, &C., as
wedding presents, marched in procession from
Redschid Pasha's house to the palace of the
sultan. This sight was rather barbarous and
queer than pretty or imposing, but the sight OF
the pretty Turkish damsels, in gaudy oriental
lied broughams, in some sort repaid one for a
founder through the filthy streets. BY a happy
arrangement, the prettier the face the more
transparent is the veil; the palmer it is, the
more opaque is the covering. This is an inno-
vation and an improvement on Turkish Gus,
toms, and some are of opinion that it might be
initiated to advantage in other countries. On
the same day were celebrated the first betrothals
of his majesty's three remaining daughters with
the sons of high dignitaries, as follows The
Sultana Reflha to Ethan Pasha, son of the ex.
Seraskier Mehemet Ali Pasha the Sultana Ge-
mile to Nahmoud Gelad-ed-Din Basha son OF
Abbas Pasha, son of the grand master of artil-
lery, Ahmet Fethi Pasha and the Sultana Mu-
nire to Ilhami Pasha, son of Abbas Pasha, gov
ernor general of all Egypt.
st must be remembered that these princesses
are quite children. There is evidently an at
tempt to satisfy both the great rival politicians
in this scheme. 1t is said that the presents
for these different marriages will amount to
40,000,000 piastres, and that Reschd Pasha
alone has spent 100000 in jewelry, &c. Not
withstanding financial difficulties and general
poverty, money always seems forthcoming
and now that the allied powers seem resolved
to give material assistance, merchants and
manufacturers come forward to provide stores

THE 5000 CLERGY AND THE MIS-

gerents, they are authorized to speak authorita.
lively in the name of the Almighty, and that,
by virtue Of their commission, they do speak
His will, and declare that all who revere the
will Of the Almighty will keep sacred the terms
and conditions of the Missouri compromise,
which they allege have the sanction of high
Heaven.
This act thus vouched for by these three
thousand clergy, permits slavery in the State
Of Missouri, and excludes it from the territory
ceded by France only in that portion which lies
north of 360 3O>. The same act provides ex-
plcitly for the return of fugitive slaves.
We have therefore established, as divine
ordinance, SO far as the dictum of three thou
sand clergy claiming to be ambassadors of
Heaven and speaking its will can make it 80,
these important facts:
First. That slavery is wrong north Of $50
3O>, and permissible south Of that line.
Second. That it is permissible in Missouri
in any latitude; and
Third. That it is right and proper that
fugitive slaves should be restored.
To these positions these clergy have com

be audited and paid at the treasury in the same
manner as the accounts of other cipH officers,
charged with the disbursement ofpublic money;
and said disbursing agent shall report to the
President his disbursements and proceedings
in time to be presented to Congress at the
commencement of each annual session, and at
any other time when required"
/ 1t will be seen that this law simply provides
for the appointment Of a Disbursing agent, and
directs the mode Of auditing and paying his dis
bursements-in military phrase Raymaster, or
in common parlance a Cashier But, the off,
Ger to be appointed to this duty was to be
cipH and not a military officer, as is plainly
manifest from the fact that his accounts were
audit their accounts. The Architect still con.
tinues in his position, and the Disbusing agent
provided for above is captain IN the United
States army. The language Of the above law
land these two paragraphs contain all the law
on the subect) plainly excludes all idea that a
military officer is to be placed over the work.
But yet one of that class is made the disburs-
ing officer and Superintendent! What is more
significant and conclusive on this subject is the
fact, that it may be seen, by the Congressional
Globe Of the second session of the Thirty Third
Congress, page 622, that the gentleman who
introduced the law quoted above stated its OBJ
ject to be to regulate the manner in which the
money appropriated should be disposed Of"
His object was to impose the duty upon the
Commissioner of Public Buildings, and with
that officers name in the law it passed the SEN
ate; but in the House the Commissioners Of
Public Buildings was stricken out, leaving it
discretionary with the President to devolve it
upon him or any other civilian whom he might
appoint. No one in either house, ever sus-
pected for moment that the law would be so
disregarded as to allow the work to be executed
by an army officer.

The New Cathedral Of st. Finbar at
Cha osfnn

We learn from the Charleston Mercury that
the beautiful cathedral of st. Finbar, situate
at the corner of Broad and Friend streets, in
that city, rapidly approaches completion. The
Mercury gives the following description of the
building:
ut is built in the early English gothic style
which is strictly adhered to in all the details
Its dimensions are 124 feet from the centre
door to the end of the altar, GO feet in breadth
and so feet in height. The chancel is in lerg 9Th
20 feet. The roof is n feet high, while the
cross at the summit of the graceful spire is
2lS! feet from the ground. The building is
terminated at the north end by chancel and
two chapels; and at the south end by the tow
er and spire, and the organ gallery. There is
a nave and two aisles, which would have been
improved by being made wider, so as to allow
| free ingress and egress. The clere story wall
is supported by handsome stone columns The
ceiling of nave, aisles, chancel, and chapels are
all richly grained. The ribs and shafts are
mounted with much taste, and the brackets
Bosses and capitals are ornamented with highly
relieved foliage. The shafts to clere story and
chancel are supported by heads of angels ard
apostles. The whole Of the interior is colored
so as to resemble Portland stone.
Ornamental tracery adorns the chancel rail,
which divides the sanctuary from the body OF
the church. Within the sanctuary stands the
main altar, which is highly carved, and sur
rounded by tabernacle with open tracery OF
the most chaste description. On either side OF
the sanctuary are the stalls and seats for the
bishop and clergy. The chapels are in the
same style as the sanctuary, but are arranged
with more simplicity.
The cathedral is lighted by 90 stained glass
windows. Those on the first story are in the
old style of lead sash aud ornamental quarry
work, with fine inlaid gothic borders of different
patterns. The clere story windows are much
in the same style. The chancel window is of
the most gorgeous character; the lamb in the
centre; above are FIVE figures, life size-the Sa-
viour, with two evangelists on each side, and
above is rich canopy work. The openings to
the windows are filed with angels, and devices
worked in fine dark grounds, which have very
powerful effect while contemplating this beau
tiful specimen Of gothic church-work.
The pulpit is upheld by clustered shafts and
spendrils. There are l72 pews, besides other
seats. The pews, it must be remarked, appear
inconyeniently shallow. In the cathedral are
commodious sacristy and vestry rooms.
The exterior of the cathedral is entirely
composed of cut stone, with the exception OF
the spire, which is of wood. There are forty
eight buttresses, which are surrounded by forty
six cut.stone pinnacles. The three gothic doors
correspond with the rest of the building. The
beautiful cut stoop on the steps is well worthy
of notice. II is estimated that the cost OF
erecting this splendid cathedral will not fall
far short Of 100000. The first stone was laid
in May, 1850, and it is fully contemplated that
it will be ready, or consecrated, by the 9th Of
next month.
