 Mr. Garland offered preamble and resou- ton in relation to the landed interest of this state, and asking a special committee to be raised by the House for the purpose of exam ming into the different acts and laws that have been passed, from time to time, relative to the several grants of land including railroad, swamp, seminary, saline, school and government land, and also of compiling, condensing and publish [ ing the same in some tangible form, and report the aame back as soon possible, which was read, and Mir.

We have, elsewhere, noticed the portraits by Mr. Jackson, the artist
 Mir. Hines, whose daguenean gallery is so well known and whose skill is so universally acknowledge is now taking life size photo- graphs, and has these coored in oil by Mr. Jackson, as to combine the correctness of the photographer with the exquisite coloring of a true artist. Several of our citizens have pie lures of this kind taken that are absolutely startling from their resemblances to the origi- nal, and if the artist could but endow them with speech he would become second Pro- metheus.'
 Those who desire to secure likeness cor rect as to feature and color should secure one of these. They excel anything we have ever seen or read ot. There is no hyperbole in this notice--if the reader thinks so, let him go judge for himself. Besides these colored pho- tographs, there are others, of prominent mem bers of the General Assembly, of different s- zes that are worth visit to those who wish to see the perfection that can be arrived at- Rooms, up stairs in the State Bank, opposite the capitol

 Without pretensons to connoisseurship, we claim to be able to judge of what is pleasing and natural. The portraits we have seen are beautiful, like-life and free from that rigidty 50 often observed in oil paintings.

There has been on the part of the manager of the theatre here, such a. evident desire to please and to cater to the ta. .as of the theatre going public, that it deserves notice. Besides this disposition there has been great deal of judgment shown in the selection of pieces adapted to the strength and merits of the con- pary and to the taste of the audience
 Goldsmith's comedy of She stoops to Con- quer' was produced with an excellent cast Mrs. Moroney acquitted herself admirably as Miss Hardcastle, and Mr. Huntley as Mr. Hard- castle, was excellent.
 During the week other plays were produced in which those favortes Mrs Palmer and Mir. Campbell appeared. We have heretofore re- ferred to the acting of Mrs Palmer, but in again mentioning her naturalness, vivacity and grace we but echo the opinion of all. Decidedly handsome, with clear voice, bright 0 e, a full appreciation of the character she assumes, and always perfect in her part, no wonder that she is such favorite.
 During the past week MT. Moroney returned from Memphis, with the sisters Emma and Ada Webb and Miss Cogswell. The Webb sisters whose fame had preceded them appeared on Saturday night, one in the character of Evadne, in Shields beautiful play of that name, and the other in one of those protean farces where she assumes variety of characters and an oppor tunity is afforded her to give the audience some of her admirable songs and dances. The sisters again appeared on Monday night both in Knowles play of the Iunchbacll and Miss Ada in the farce of the Managers Daughter

Her " Evadne'' was fine piece of acting As "Julia in the Hunchback" she filled the mea- sure of general criticism Among the audience were those who had seen Fanny Kemble, others who had seen Julia Dean in this part, and who feared the contrast, but they admitted that the personati,n by Miss Webb was all that could be desired. She seemed in excellent spirits and played the part truly and gracefully How shall we describe Miss Ada? We might as well try to paint bud or butterlly-a sun- beam.

 MT. Nelson is good actor, but would be a better one, if his memory was not so treacher- ous It is impossible to write or to speak well, unless we know what we are going to say, and no man can succeed as an actor unless he can learn to dispense with the prompter.
