PRoFEss1oN We would direct the attention Of
merchants and gentlemen who have business to be
transacted before any of courts the card of A.
g. Se,nmes. ESQ., which is published elsewhere and
from which Az may be seen that that gentleman has
taken residence in this city, with the intention
of praetieing before our courts.
Judge Scenes is not novice in his profession. In
4 1851 the was elected a Justice of the Supreme
Court our sister State Of Florida for eight years
which high Office he filed with honor to himself and
to the of all whose business came before
him for adjustment. Preferring residence in New
Orleans however he resigned his practice in Florida
and has taken up his residence in our city. We are
confident, from what we have heard of the professional
attainments Of Judge Semlnes, that he will take a
rank at the bar, and will, very shortly, enjoy
j large practice. His office may be found at No. &c

Miss MATILDA HERoN-hIiss Matilda Heron whose
name is underlined at the Gaety Theater to make her
appearance in the play of Camille" by Alexander
Dumas, Jr, comes to us with very high praise and
recommendations from those cities and places in
which she has previously appeared. A small bio
graphical sketch of her fe with which we have been
favored, informs us that her infancy spent in the
city OF Philadelphia and that she there received the
rudiments of q thorough English education. She
early conceived an idea of embracing the stage as
profession and under the teaching of Peter Richngs
| commenced the study of elocution. Her debut was
at the Walnut street theater Blanca the tragedy
OF Fazio," in 1850, and was in the highest Degree
| successful The morning papers were loud in their
PRAISES and her engagement of six nights was highly
successful, Going from Philadelphia to Washington,
she met Charlotte Cushman, who gave her encour-
/ agement and secured an engagement for her with
Hamblin, of New York. In Boston, Miss Heron met
with much praise for her rendering of Utah, in Mr.
Murdoch's De Soto.a Going to San Francisco, she
received even more praise than in the North and
there first succeeded in amassing any large returns
| for her professional labors Returning to Phlade,-
pha, she sailed for Europe and while in Paris trans
lated g Camille" Again visiting home, she played
successful engagements in Washington, Baltimore
and Philadelphia. Her trip through the West alter
mated with success and disappointment although the
people of ST. Louis praised her very highly. In Gin
cinnati her triumph was complete and other cities
have pronounced her most excellent.
With this review of the preceding events in Miss
Herons theatrical career the citizens of New Orleans
have, we imagine, all that is requisite to induce them
to attend her performances at the Gaiety where she
is now engaged, and form their opinion Of her merits
II as great as they are represented there is doubt
they will be warmly acknowledged

Adjournment of the Legislature.

s,+ Tzt5 . h o. a1F-
According to our Geographic dispatches, twill be
that the Legislature adjourned last evening at
O'clock pursuant to joint resolution passed by both
Houses in compliance with acquisitions Of the organic
law. M.
The bill for leasing the Penitentaly failed to become
law, although it had been pressed for some days
with much pertnacity This, according to our best
knowledge and judgment, is toberegretted; for we
are we'll convinced that, under the management Of
the State the institution will continue heavy drain
upon the Treasury annually, while the condition Of
the Wretched conviots will be in no wise improved
Connected with this bill there is queer occurrence
the Legislature adjourned without making any APP
preparation for the support of the administration Of
the Penitentiary How the administrators of that
peculiar institution will get along without money
the ensuing year. remains to be seem 1t is not look
ing to its the past twelve months, self
sustaining establishment and it would be barbarous
toeeonomze by half starving and doubly working the
conyicts. 3&s
As matter Of course something had to be done for
the poor State Treasury. 1t gets dead broke every
session Of the Legislature. And no wonder when the
number Of cormorants that feed upon it are taken
into consideration! Accordingly joint resolution
was passed, authorizing the Governor to negotiate
loan Of two hundred thousand dollars. There is no
doubt His Exceency will be enabled to make the
negotiation on reasonable terms. The credit of the
State still stands high but, whether it will re
main 50 any length Of time,in the face of yearly
falling behindhand is question involved in mucl
doubt. This thing of borrowing one, two and three
hundred Thousand dollars every session. to the
deficits in receipts, is not calculated to enrich thu
commonwealth or enhance its credit In the long
run, such policy will inevitably bankrupt the State

the nation in general, and Banks Arcade in particu

head, and thus constructing temporary rostrum,
they placed the orator upon it, and steadying him by
his coattails bade him proceed. Some faint idea of
Thackeray's lectures and DR., Goulds addresses we
have been enabled to give to the public, but any re.
port OF ourstreetspeaker we acknowledge impossible.
1t must have been very funny, the orator laughed
at the conclusion with almost sufficient strength and
hearness to cause him to drop over and the concl-
sion was SO weighty as to cause him to drop through
his unprincipled platform and endure an occuation
