THE CRISIS AT THE THEATREs.-The financial
panic, which came close to killing the Opera,
obliging the allies to fall back upon concert skr-
mishes in the open country, has begun to tell
upon the theatres. Two-Laura Keene's and
Wallack's-which have expensive companies, and
rely chiefly on regular business have been
obliged to economist 10y reducing the salaries of
their employees. A small theatre-the Olympic
will close this week. Miss Cushman draws the
largest houres at Burton's; and the Broadway
and Niblo's are likewise doing well with bale,
and pantomime, which, in better times, however,
would coin money fer the managers. The
strangers are leaving the city, and residents are
pairing down their expenses in anticipation of a
hard winter. So all places of public amusement
must suffer, and they may see worse times than
now before the season is over

EXTRA SESSION OF THE LEGIsLATURE.--It was
reported yesterday that Gov. King had sum.
moned the Legislature to meet at Albany next
Thursday, to take counsel on the straits to which
the State is reduced by the general suspension of
specie payments. The statement turned out to
be incorrect; but if true, what can the Legisla
ture do?
That it is possible for the majority Of the Le-
gislature to psB absurd laws for the relief Of
their party leaders who have been sxamped by
the present revulsion, we do not intend to deny;
but we thitk that, in the present exaspesated
state Of the public feeling, any effort to bleed the
treasury for private purposes would be met with
overwhelming disapprobation. And as to the
banks, the Judges have 50 thoroughly done what
was to be done in reference to them that really
there is nothing left for the Legislature to do.
No new banking law is needed. Were new
law passed, no doubt the Supreme Court Judges
would manage to read it 60 as to meet the emer-
gencies Of the times; and with such prospect,
what is the good of a law? Our city and country
bank notes will supply us with currency; we
want nothing more-or at least nothing that the
Legislature can give US.
An extra session promises to be useless, trouble
some, and absurd.

We have but few comments to offer upon this
disgraceful occurrence. 1t was abeastly, brutal
and disgusting exhibition, and it is to be hoped
that the authorities Of Buffalo and Of Canada
will act in concert to bring the perpetrators
of it TO justice, and thereby prevent its
repetition. We believed that our police was
as Inc ficient as any in the world, but they have
certainly prevented several prize fights, and it
seems the bruiseIs have now retreated to Buffalo,
where they are 1ionised by the fresh water sailors
of the lakes, and mildly tolerated by the autholi
ties, who would do well once in a while to look
at the Revised Statutes. We presume, however
they will be apathetic until some one is killed
and then we shall have the usual display Of
energy when it is no longer useful.

WESLEYAN Female Institute.

Messrs Editors The undersigned hopes you
will grant hin small space in the spectator
to give very brief and necessarily imperfect
notice of the closing exercises OF the Yves. Female
Institute on Wednesday night last These exer-
ses consisted of music, reading compositions,
comforting dip'omas, and testimonials OF prof.
cheney aud merit, addresses, DC The admirable
manner in which the pupils acquitted them
selves reflected great credit upon themselves,
and gave satisfactory evidence that their teach
ers had well and faithfully performed the seve-
raj duties devolved upon them.
Compositions were prepared and read oy
Misses Julia F. and Mary Jane Acton, OF Salem,
Roanoke, Annie G. Babb. of Hardy, and
Theodosia A. Hudson. near Staunton. They
were written in good style and possessed de
gree of merit which would have been creditable
to older heads-being characterized by good
sense, tender sentiment, ornate fancy and
sprightly wit The happy satirical "hits' at the
fashions of the day, and the manners OF fast
young men," were very Sensbly felt and duly
appreciated. The tluttering exhibited on the
part of a portion of the audience showed very
clearly that some pigeons" were wounded. The
salutatory address was composed and read by
Miss Julia F. Acton, and the valedictory by
Miss Annie G. Babb. These ladies were the
honored recipients Of diplomas, being graduates
of the school, The diplomas were presented to
them by Rev. J. A. McCauley, formerly Princi-
pal of the Institute, who addressed them in We"
~ appropriate and touching remarks.
There can be no doubt that this is a most ex-
cellent female school, and deserves to be liberal
ly patronized.

Augusta Church School.

Messrs Editors 1t was my good fortune to
attend, on Friday the 10th ult., the closing ex
ercises of Mr.. Packers school. At an early
hour of the day, the beautiful grove, in which
the sold Augusta Church" and its accompany
ing school house are situated presented gay
scene of persons of all ages, and vehicles OF all
descriptions. After an opening prayer by the
pastor of the church, Rev. VIM. Brown, the in
tere$ting exercises commenced. The music was
fine, conducted by Mr.. Link, who was aided by
his Melodeon and some of the members of his
well trained choir. Each male pupil delivered
two short addresses in q manly, uuembarrassed
STYLE We were particularly pleased with the
gracefulness of the gestures and the correctness
of the modulations of the voice. We were con-
WINGED that they had had an experienced in
structor. The valedictory, an original, as de-
livered by young Mr.. Bruify Of Mt. Sidney, was
very good We were too tar from the stage to
Judge of the compositions as read by the little
girls. After the valedictory, Rev. j. r. Wilson,
of Staunton, arose and delivered o short address
in his usual chaste and happy style. The well
filled pews of the church, among Others farmers
who must at q considerable sacrifice of convent
ence, have left their homes, evinced the inter-
est felt in the school in that eighborhood. Du-
ring the recess at -, A. NJ, we enjoyed with a
keen relish, the rural repast so sumptuously fur
nished by the patrons Of the school.

Close of the Schools.

The session of all the Schools in this place
closed last week, and We miss the pleasant faces
of many young persons Of both sexes, whom we
were accustomed to meet on the streets and at
Church. Our town is well supplied with schools
of high grade, and furnishes advantages to
patrons and pupils unsurpassed by any place in
the State or country. The male schools are the
stanton Academy and Mr.. Powers School, in
the vicinity of town; female, the Virginia In
stitute. under the care of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church, the Wesleyan Institute, founded, as
its name indicates, by the Methodist Episcopal
Church, Augusta Female Seminary, in the hands
Of Presbyterians, and Kalorama, Mrs Sheffey's
private boarding school. 1t is gratifying to ev-
erv citizen of the town to witness the prosperity
of all and each of these institutions.
The Annual Exhibition at the State Institu-
zion for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind came
off on Thursday last, and was attended by a
,o,oe number of ladies and gentlemen. The ex-
orc;ses are said to have been highly interesting,
90 usual. The closing address was delivered by
p williams, Esq, of Winchester.

Utah.

The Washington Union at last announces au'
thoritatively the appointment of Col. Cumming
of Missouri, as Governor of Utah, and his accept
ance OF the office. Col Cumming is said to be
a gentleman of tried official integrity, and OF
large experience in frontier life. He intends to
remove his family to Utah with the view OF ma
king that Territory his permanent residence 1t
is the design of the Administration to send out
the new Territorial officers with the military
force, thus ensuring their safety from attack
while on the journey. The final orders for the
guidance of the commander of the troops are IN
preparation. No attempt will be made to inter-
fere with the religious or social institutions OF
the Mormons, but the United States laws will
be rigidly enforced. Already the troops detach-
ed for Utah are in motion. Three companies on
this service passed over the New York and Erie
Railroad on the 22nd ult. The entire force des-
tined for the Mormon Territory will consist OF
three regiments-two of infantry and one OF
cavalry-numbering about $500. This army is
considered large enough to keep the turbulent
people of that region in order. The appoint
ment to the command has not yet been made
public.
The difficulties to be encountered IN Utah,says
the Union, are more numerous and complicated
than is now supposed Among them may be
incidentally mentioned that Brigham Young
claims title to all the lands in the Territory,
and has never recognised the U. States surveys.
None of his followers have purchased lands in
accordance with our laws. Hence, one of the
delicate duties of the federal courts of that Ter
ritory will be to establish and maintain the
rights of those who may hereafter purchase in
accordance with our laws. Not an individual
in all Utah now holds foot of land the title OF
which is derived from the United States, and it
follows, under this strange condition of things.
that all parts of the Territory are at the present
time open to presumption. There is rumor
that Col. Jack Hays of Texas celebrity, now Sur
veyor General of California, will be transferred
to Utah in similar capacity.
The St. Louis Republican discourages the plan
of sending large military force to Utah this
year, contending that the lateness of the season
and the hostility of the Indians are likely to de-
feat the objects in view. The expedition cannot
reach the Reserve" within forty miles of Great
Salt Lake City. before the last of October, and
then they will be without quarters, almost with
out tents, and exposed to the heavy SHOWS Of
that region, and, if the Mormons should be dis
posed to be hostile, to attacks from well trained
men in that quarter, and to the annoyances
which they can bring to bear upon the troops
The Republican therefore suggests that the Ter
ritorial officers be sent out with military escort
merely, and that larger force be despatched
next Spring if necessary.
