ST. CHARLES THEATER.-A large assemblage Of
people conspired to give Miss Fanny Fitz Farren a
benefit on Saturday night. The conspiracy was
properly acknowledged by the young lady, who was
touchingly remorsetul in the first piece, as Clarf,
and sufficiently jolly Sally Scraggs in the last
piece The size of the audience and the excellence of
the performance were, relatively speaking, about
equal and the satisfaction of the occasion reciprocal
Miss Fanny was properly complimented on the occa-
sion. Among the bouquets thrown was one with rib
bon streamers of red, white and blue. We lorgnetted
it, and discovered the blue ribbon embroidered in
silver the word Z" Beauty We couldn't read what
on the other ribbons but must of course sup
pose that the white ribbon said Youth,p and the
red " Talent"
Last night, the wet weather drove streetfolks in.
doors and those who had no doors of their own
within convenient reach lodged into the coffee
houses and theaters under the pressure of that nat
tural feeling which is happily expressed in the old
adage; Sepreservation is the first law of naturen
Quenseeontly," as Dan Rice and some of our feci-
tous country cousins would say, The St. Charruls
was crowdid.a Mrs, Farren and her pretty daughter
made their final appearance for the present year the
mother in the laeerating Mary Tudor and the
daughter the interesting object in the Object of
Interest," They concluded a successful engagement;
| and when they shall next come along, we are quite
sure that the increasing youth of the mother and ad
yaneng growth of the daughter will present them to
US more like pair Of twnsisters than anything else
and that they will achieve the full triumph which is
due to such combination of physical stamina and
dramatic talent.
Last nights performance finished with the highly
refined and intensely pathetic "drammer' Of Jack
Sheppard Ben DeBar displayed his fat and slang,
as Bueskin, with his usual triumphant success !;
Hamblin, as the villain Hid, was excellent; and
Fanny Denham, as the theying hero Jack, was
good pleasant, and altogether acceptable. Speaking
Of Fanny, we may here state, (what we have not
sooner discoRered) that she is quite trump, and
one of the best actresses, if not the best, of the
stock company. She is pretty sings like lark /;
and plays the hoyden and the boy beautifully the
best actress in her peculiar line that the St Charles
has had for some years. She compensates very much
for what is lacking in many of the other performers
who appear with her.

in the sweet music of their own natural merr.ment.
At night the house was crowded and SO it was
again last night.
Tonight the usual miscellany is to be given, and
after that the great operate burlesque of Lucreta

The HOWARD AssoCIATIoN.-We publish else
where most interesting statement of the doings Of
this worthy Association during the late epidemic and
the Treasurers account showing its financial condi
tion, and that its were well nigh exhausted in
the good work, Notwithstanding, the aid which
they found themselves obliged TO appeal for at late
day. It will be observed that they treated Ala pa
tients losing but III of that number and that their
disbursements nearly reached the sum of $40 900 on
the various accounts which are specified The apoth
ecary and cupper bill exceeds every other, next in
amount is that set down to general relief after that
the nurse BILL then the hospital and next the Doctor
bill, and so on to the mnutia. The avefage expend
ture for each person treated or relieved was about
eleven dollars.
This exhibit shows the money expended but it
does not show the unweayng care and devotion, the
sacrifice of every personal comfort and convenience
the nights and days of trial in miserable novels, and
at the bedsides of degraded and suffering humanity
the forgetuness of self and the mortiEying of every
natural impulse of humanity which assaled the mem
bers of the Association, they pursued their noble
work. but which failed to induce them to hold their
hands until there no longer work for them to do
All this the report of the Association does not show
and in its full extent cannot be known orappreciated
but the whole community feels its obligations to the
banded brethren of the Howards, and the fame of
their good deeds has trumpet tongues to tell it to all
the world in the gratitude of the unfortnnates who
experienced the benefit of their ministratons.

Con QresR.

In the Senate yesterday, MIR. Bigler pre-
scented a memorial from sundry citizens Of
Philadelphia, creditors OF Texas.
Mr. Stuart endeayored to call up the cal
endar of private claims. Objected to.
Mr.. Hale rose to correct a remark made
by Mr.. Benjamin, on Tuesday, that at the
time Of the submittal by MIR. Toombs of bill
for the admission of Kansas, he had pronounc-
ed that bill unex ccptionabe. lledenied that
he had expressed any such opinion OF the
Toombs' bill, and had offered amendments
thereto.
He read from the published proceedings to
substantiate his contradiction, but admitted
that he had pronounced the bill fair, if 1t
were possible that the government Of Kan
sas should be administered by honest men.
lie then hoped that that government would
be administered by honest men; but now he
alleged the ground for this hope was re-
moved.
Mr. Benjamin replied that he was under
the impression that he had quoted the gen
tleman Alright, but it appears that Re did
I not. The admission. however, that the gen
teman regarded tue bill fair, and only fear
ed that the government would not be admin
istered by honest men, was tantamount
almost to what he had represented him to
say, that he found no fault with the bill.
Mr.. Brown called up the bill amending
the charter of tue "Prcvident Association OF
Clerks engaged in Government Departments
at Washington City" which was passed.
The consideration Of the Kansas bill was
resumed.
Mr. Crittenden addressed the Senate in
opposition to the bill.
In the House Of Representatives, the me
mortal of the Utah Legislature was laid on
the table and ordered to be printed.
The Speaker announced the Army bill 10
pending.
Mr.. Pendleton advocated an increase OF the
army Of the United States.
