Theatrical.

The ROBINSON FAMILY performed in this
city again on Friday and Saturday evenings
last, to full houses, and increased in popularity
up to the last. They have peculiar felicity
in the choice Of pieces, and in performing
them always como up to the expectations OF
the audience. La Petite Susan is o little jew
el, and is bound to grow to q star Of the first
magnitude, with proper training. She sang
"Ben Bolt" on Friday evening, and brought
tears to many rough face, and repeated it by
request on Saturday evening. She also dan
ces with remarkable grace and accuracy, and
is in fact the most facinatiug little performer
that ever visit this region. Master William is
remarkable in his line, and would be q wonder
if not eclipsed by his sister. He dances well
and plays equally well. The ladies of the troupe
generally are pleasing and effective actresses
MrRobinson is an excellent comedian, thorough.
ly posted in the arts Of the stage and to hi, talent
and enterprise is owing much Of the success o
his company. Mr.. Compton has been will
the company over a year. and educated him
self in his profession by industry and tact, til
from mere 'supe" he has gained the position
ofa prime attraction. Taking the compan,
together, the best commentary on their abiIi
ties is their great success, which is not create
in this county, where they are at home thai
it is elsewhere where they have visited. w
hope to see them back again ere long, and cal
ensure them hearty welcome.

Members Of the Legislature.

MCuUCiS Va tAc cSlSIdtuIts
The Union says the Senate is sonstitu-
ted of thirty three members, classed po.
litically, so far as we are advised, anti
election Democrats, IA; election Demo
Gratis, l2; Wings, 7.
Eighty members compose the Assembly
of whom 81 are classed as Wing and in
dependent; Democrats, 43, who are not
considered exactly party unit. In the
Senatorial division we hear 20 are claimed
for Gwin by his friends, 10 for Broderick
and the others divided between McDouga
and McCorkle.
On the other side the opponents of Gwir
concede him less than twenty, and most
of the others are assigned to Mr. Brodsrick
or to some other man besides DR.. Gwin
How near correct either Of the above es-
Inmates may be, we have not the means oi
determining.
The whole number of Senators and As
femblymen is ll3; in joint convention 81
will constitute majority, which number
Senatorial candidate must receive in Or
der to secure an election in full conven-
ton. But as it is not probably all the
members will be present at every balloting
less number may elect.
The estimate of 43 Democrats in the
Assembly, includes several members who
were not elected as Democrats. and who
will, doubtless, feel at liberty to act upor
their individual convictions of right when.
ever party action does not conform to
these convictions.
The Whig Senators are w. W. Hawks,
San Francisco; W. H. McCoun, San Jo.
