THEATRES TURNED INTO HOUSES OF PRAYER.
The conversion of Burton's old theatre into
temporary church is made a subject of congratu.
latory comment by the New York press and pull
pit. This use Of the theatre is not wholly due to
the revival, however, nasmuch as the building
has been leased by the United States government
for court house, aud has therefore passed out OF
the hands Of theatrical managers. On Wednes.
day, when the theatre was opened for prayer, Rev.
Mr.. Cuyler made an address, in which he gave an
interesting Renaissance Of the revival Of 1881.
The New York Journal of Commerce says;
"During that remarkable spiritual season, two
gentlemen called on the lessee Of the Chatham
street Theatre, aud proposed to buy his lease for
the purpose Of converting the theatre into
ennrch. That gentleman not only gave them
the lease without compensation, but donated one
thousand dollars toward carrying out their OBJ

was attended by aoout eight hundred persons

The prospee, of E.ecomptOn.

OF course it is generally conceded that the Lee
compton constitution will pass the Senate. 1t is
understood the vote will be taken on Tuesday
next. 1t is most correctly estimated that it will
stand. after reckoning for the the three sick alb
sentees (who all Lacomptonites) 80 to 20
seven majority for Lecompton. The nays will
consist Of the twenty Republicans with Broder.

of Kentucky. Douglas Of Illinois, Stuart of Mich
gan, and Pugh of Ohio. Cthe latter under in.
structions from the Legislature at home,) The
nays will probably all be present aud VOTE at
least they all should be there, if able 10 be about
OF the senators favoring Lecompton, Bates of
Delaware, Davis of Mississippi and Reid Of
North Carolina, are too sick to be out, otherwise
the test vote would be So to 20.
In the House, according to latest advices. it is
hoped the fate of the Ubiquitous LecomptoE con-
coction is seaed-it is estimated by six to eight
majority, if the opposition all present on the
final vote and do their duty meanwhile in further
exposing its monstrosity.

Gus, on Thursday night arranged the programme
for action in that branch. A move it is stated

the bill comes from the Senate on Wednesday
next, to refer it to the Committee on Territories
Mr. Harris Of Illinois will then move that it be
referred to the select committee of fifteen, that
said committee be increased to seventeen, and
that the two members be elected by the House
The combination intend to carry the latter prop
osition by six to eight majority. The South
Americans agreed in caucus to sustain the Re-
pubcans in this movement"
The Washington correspondent of the New
Fork Tribune, writing March 18th. says;
THE anti-Lecompton forces in the House
count to-day one hundred and twenty votes, in
uding those of six Southern Americans and of
Messrs. Owen Jones, Dewart and Chapman of
Pennsylvania, and Pendleton and Burns of Ohio,
of all, in short, who profess purpose to coop.

feel hopeful, unless a detection occurs. The
result in the House may turn entirely upon the
shape IN which the bill comes from the Senate
II Senator Pugh's amendment be adopted and
Minnesota be tackled on to Kanzas, then the
present indications warrant the belief that eight
Southern Americans, and perhaps nine, will op.
pose the bill"
vote Of one hundred and twenty against Lee
compton, estimated above, if the House is full,
would give an anti-Lecompton majority of six.
The question will be discussed in the House for
two or three weeks, and the final vote will not
probably be taken before toward the middle Of
April, il as soon.

Proceeding la the House.

HEoceeaEhssS 4H ERae House,
At tae close Of the reading of the Address
in the House, the following proceedings took
place:
Mr.. Andrew Of Boston moved that the
message be referred to a select committee of
five on the part Of the House, with such as
the Senate may join.
Mr.. Cushing Of Newburyport arose and said
the deed aoas DONE (Amen says Friend
Dodge Of Chatham.) The friends Of the black
man had succeeded in striking down from the
judicial bench one Of our judges for having
performed his duty. Hereafter the Judges
Will be under the necessity of shifting and
setting their sails to catch the popular breeze.
This Judge is the first victim, but who will be
the next we know not yet lie presumed from
what had been said in the United States SEN
ate, that the Supreme Court OF the United
States will be the next thing to be struck
down.
But he did not believe that the people of
this country were ready to allow such state
Of things. This thing has been done, not be-
cause the mem beers believe it to be right, but
because external influences have been brought
to bear. He could not help referring to the
manly recommendations OF the Governor in
regard to that odious law respecting the per.
sonal liberties OF the people He reioiced that
such a suggestion had been made tor he had
stood almost alone in favor of a change in this
law, but now no had the potential voice ofthe
executive on his side. AS a magistrate Of this
Commonwealth he should defy all the provis-
ions OF this statute. AS a private in the mi
litia he should iearlessy perform his duty, re.
CARELESS OF any such laws. He rejoiced that
the Personal Liberty act had been condemned
by SO high authority as the Governor OF this
Common wealth.
Mr.. Andrew Of Boston said that the Amen
uttered by his friend from the Cape was but
the beginning of the shouts of Amen that
would be heard from the hills of Berkshire to
the sands Of the Bay This was yndica.

genuity which the representative from New

the Governor. The earlier part OF that doc
ument was plain and there was no misappre.
hending it. There was little cause for dsa-
greement in regard 10 the latter portion.

OLE Forks CoNCERT.-The concert Of the
Chelsea Continentals. last evening, at Mechan-
les Hall, was well attended. Long before the
hour for the commencement Of the exercises, the
hail was filed to oyeThowing. The choir ofsome
eighty performers, all aryayed in the quaint con
tinental dress, entered at one of the side doors,
and filed through the long aisle to the platform.
Some Of the dresses Of the ladies of the associa,
ton were very fine, and the costumes Of that time,
although now so peculiar. were, we think, not less
elegant than many Of the fashions Of today.
At the opening Of the concert, John Boyden,
Esq, stated the identical dress worn by Ebridae
Gerry when he signed the Declaration of indie
pendence, was on the platform, worn by Capt.
Brooks and the dress worn by Mrs. Gerry at
that time was also present, worn by Capt.
Brooks's lady. In the course Of the evening the
following tunes, familiar TO our mothers and
grandmothers, were sung, giving great pleasure
and recalling old times and scenes with great
vividness ;-Lenox, Lisbon, Maiesty, Greenwich,
Worcester, Go forth to the Mount, Jehovah's
Praise, Habakuk. Easter Anthem. Amherst,
Denmark, Montgomery, New Jerusalem, Sher-
burn. Cowper. Child of Mortality, Ocean, Ode
on Science Hallelujah Strike the Cymbal, Inyi-
tation and Dismission
The noble charity in whose behalf the concert
was given will not fail oil receiving much material
aid, which viii be most welcome in the present
condition of its affairs
A concert SO entirely successful will well bear
repetition.
We omitted to state above that Mr.. Brooks
and lady came forward at the intermission and
exhibited the dress Of Hon. Elbridge Gerry and
lady.

Recovery OF STOLEN PRopERrY,.-It will
be remembered, says the Clinton Cowa2t, that
nearly three weeks since, an officer from Franz
ingham passed through Clinton, on his way to
Princeton, in pursuit of young man who had
committed burglary in the former place She.
riff Gibbs joined in the search, but it proved I'M
successful. Last week, however, Mr.. G received
by express, box or package containing most of
the stolen property-two watches, two gold
chains, gold pencil, &c, which he took down
to Framingham again. 1t seems that the rogue
was oyerhauled in Dedham by one Of his relatives
who made him deliver his III gotten plunder, and
then put it i'll the way of being restored to its
rightful owner. The fellow has been in the State
Prison once, but will probably escape a second
service in the same place by having joined the
U. s. Army, OF course, he's patriot" now
will be, when he has saved the Union by fight
ing well for slavery IN Kanaas.
