The Meeting of the Legislature.

The Massachusetts legislature will assemble
on Wednesday next. The events Of the last
few weeks will contribute to make the session
the most interesting and important which has
been held for many years The sentiments
of the members elect to the senate point to the
nearly unanimous choice of WILLIAM CLAF-
LIN of Newton, as president of that body.
His eminent fitness for the position, and the
services which he has many times rendered to
the state, give him peculiar title to the place.
For the speakership of the house no new
names are prominently mentioned, and we
presume there will be no efectual opposition
to the reelection of JOHN A. GOODWIN who
acceptably performed its duties last winter.
The importantpublicq uestionswhich command
attention will give the message Of Gov. Andrew
unusual interest; though there is no doubt eth
er as to his own sentiments, or to those Of the
commonwealth, in relation to the subjects
which will be earliest pressed upon the atten-
ton Of the legislature. 1t is also announced
that Gov. Banks will deliver a valedictory adj
dress to the legislature, embracing a review
OF his official acts for the year, and an exposi-
ton of the present condition of the institutions
of the state" 1t is a departure from the usual
course, but review of the official acts of the
retiring executive may be useful. We notice,
however, that the Boston Journal intimates
that this unusual course is to be taken because
"the governor elect cannot be supposed to be
sufficiently familiar with the practical work.
ings of the government for the previ
Gus year to make such an exposition
as is expected in the annual address"
We cannot suppose that the Journal in
tended any insult to Mr.. Andrew in
this statement, but it certainly has an
uuhandsome appearance. Ordinarily new
governor has been deemed competent to pre-
pare an address to the legislature, and that too
without being as capable or as familiar with
| public affairs as John A. Andrew.
A valedictory address by Gov. Banks will
be proper, if he chooses to deliver one, and
we have now no doubt it will be prepared
with all that delicate regard to the posi-.
ton and prerogatives Of the governor elect
which propriety requires.

Mr.. BUCHANAN AS JouRNALIsT.-Some
time ago the publisher of the New York
Ledger announced with much tlourishing of
trumpets that president Buchanan had been
engaged as Il contributor for its columns The
old public functonary himself wrote letter
stating that he would write a sketch of Mr..
Lowndes of South Carolina for the edification
of the readers of that hebdomadal. Mr.. Bon
ner has evidently made mistake. Buchanan
will never write his articles. If spirits ever
visit our sphere, that of Mr.. Lowndes, who was
inspired by so many of the instincts of states
manship md patriotism, would haunt the trail
tor till he abandoned his design.

CITY AND COUNTY

The CONCERT tonight will open with the
overture from Tampa, by the Mozart orches-
ira, which shows pluck and judgment in the
selection. The opening recitative and air of
the oratorio; Comfort We my people" and
Every valley shall be exalted, will be given
by Professor Frost. He has not yet been
heard here in that kind of music. We are
quite sure the general expectation, which is
high, will be answered. Mr.. Lawrence has
the bass solos, "Thus saith the Lord" "For
behold darkness shall cover the earth" and
"Why do the nations so furiously rage 2" and
Mr.. A S. Allen, "Behold l tell you mystic

herds" "Rejoice greatly" and "He was cut

and rejected > and Mr.. Knight, "He that
dweleth in heaven"
The full force of the society, numbering
over one hundred and thirty, and chosen from
our best singers, will be heard in all the mag"
nificent choruses. Do our readers need to be
reminded that it is the Messiah which contains
40 thou that telest," "For unto us child is
born, son is given" "Glory to God in
the highest" &c, closing with that of
the "Hallelujah, for the Lord God omnip-
Otent reigneth," during which, for more

The VALUATION CoMMITTEE.-This body
has now been in session upwards of ninety
days, for which time only provision was made
for the compensation of members. Owing to
the increased magnitude Of the work, and the
Interruptions to which the committee we're
subjected, during the interesting progress of
the campaign, the work has been much de.
layed. The members are, however, diligently
at work, day and night, as they have been
much of the time since the election, to finish
up its important duty. The term of the
present legislature expires on the first OF
January, and of course the committee have no
power to continue in session after that time.
1t is thought that by extraordinary effort the
whole work may be satisfactorily completed.
