PRICE* ONE CENTrHE DAILY DISPATCH

CHINESE MUSIC.Mr. Crockett, of the St.' Louis Intelligencer,

in a letter from San Francisco, gives tin fol-lowing account of the performances of thecompany ofChinese Theatricals which has re ?

cently arrived at New Orleans :

"One of the most carious exhibition* everwitnessed by 'outside barbarians,' has beengoing on in this city [San Francisco] for aweek or two past. About a fortnight since,there arrived here a Chinese theatrical troupe,consisting of 123 actors, male and female; andembracing, as I learn, some of the most distin-guished of the Celestial histrionic talent. In-deed, it is said that several of them are to theChinese what K-mble and Garrick and Sid-dons are, or rather were, to us 'outsiders.'?borne days ago it was announced that theywould make their first appearance at the Ame-can Theatre, and I confess I felt a very greatcuriosity to see how such exhibitions wereconducted in China?a country of which wenow know so little, but are destined very soonto know a great deal more. I wrs presentat their first exhibition, and would endeavor todescribe it, if I were not conscious that it isutterly impossible to convey any intelligibleidea of it. Before the curtain was raised, wewere favored with music from the Chinese or-chestra, ifthat can be called music which wasa combination of the most unearthly soundsthat ever saluted mortal ears. I cannot de-scribe the instruments from which these soundsproceeded, except that oneof them was an im-mense gong, whilst several others were verydiminutive one-stringed fiddles, of a peculiarshape. They ha J also a pair ofcymbals and alarge oval stone, elevated above the flooron aframe-work, and on which they beat time witha couple of sticks. Altogether, the noise wasabout such as would be produced by a dozentin-pans ofdiflerent sizes, a hall dozen crackedfiddles, a steamboat bell, the filing of a saw,and the squalling of a cat. The musicianswere placed on the afterpart of the stage, in-stead of in front of it, and kept up the din du-ring the most of the performance.

'"Ofcourse Idid not understand a word thatwas spoken on the stage; but I was completelyamazed at the magnificence of their dresses,which were all of silk or satin, and coveredwith the most beautiful and costly embroidery.'No company in the United States can at all viewith this in the splendor of its wardrobe. In-deed, I had formed no conception previously ofthe immense labor and expense expended inChina upon such fabrics as these. The em-broidery is wrought into the most beautifulfigures, representing birds,flowers, leaves, &c.,in endless variety, and in the most tastefully-blended colors. The men, for the most part,wore on their heads a sort of helmet, of uniqueshape, and beautifully wrought, whilst the wo-men had a profusion of brilliant ornamentsabout the head, with the haii done up in themost singular style. They all wore immensetrousers, of silk or satin, with long, loose robes,reaching below the knee, and have enormouslylarge sleeves. Their shoes had wooden soles,about iwo inches thick and turned up at thetoe. The play appeared to be a sort of opera;or, at all events, a large portion of it consistedof singing, if that can be termed singing whichis something between a screech, a wail, and ftnegro melody,sung in the most drawling, nasaltone. They appeur to have but one tune, andthat with scarcely one of the elements of mu-sic. Their voices have little or no compass,and it is impons ble to conceive of more harshand grating sounds than they emit."tyThe Reading (Pa.} Journal states that

a young man, a printer, in that vicinity, under.took to descend a perpendicular shaft, some35 feet, into the iron mines, by meansof a buck-et and windlass. When about 10 feet belowthe surface, the bucket struck an obstruction,overturned, and threw the young man out,feet foremost, which position he kept the whole75 feet to the bottom, where be alighted uponsome boards covering a deep pit of water. Hewas but slightly injured. Who but a printerwould have been so miraculously preservedfrom death?

GP It is stated that Mr. Gisbome has putdown a sub-marine telegraph from Cape Tor-meniine, in New Brunswick, across Northum-berland Strait, a distance of fourteen miles to

Cape Traverse, in Prince Edward's Island, andthat it works perfectly well. It is intended toform a pait of his line to connect New Pound-land with the continent.

Jjp" The manager of the Marionette's pup-pet actors, now exhibiting at the St. James'sTheatre, London, has lately introduced a setof''Ebony Marionettes," an imitation of the"Ethiopian Serenaders," and other ferforman-ces of that description. The Daily Nejva soyathe imitation was perfect; and some of themusic, accompanied after negro fashion, wasexceedingly characteristic and pleasing.

V. S. Commissioner's Cocrt.?The mateand four seamen, belonging to the schoonerAdvance, sent home from the coast of Africa,on suspicion of being concerned in the slavetrade, were further examined, and sent on fortrial beiore the U. S. Court. The examina-tion of the two men?Davis and Campbell-sent home from Martinique, under charge ofdesertion and theft, was continued until thenecessury documents can be obtained fromthe Secretary of the Treasury.

Norfolk Beacon.Epitaph?The following singular epitaph

is on a tomb in the parish church yard ofPewsey,Dorsetshire, England :

"Here lieu the body of Lady O'Looney,great neice of Burke, commonly called 'TheSublime;' she was bland, passionate, anddeeply religious; also she painted in water co-lors and sent several things to the exhibition;she was the first cousin of Lady J one*; and ofsuch is the Kingdom of Heaven."

To Core the Toothach*.?Take a paperof Tobacco, pour upon it a wine glass ofwarn:water, squeeze out part of the moisture, andafter placing the pulp upon a slice of bread,apply it as a plaster to the face. There isnothing like it tor the toothache?and it is theonly remedy tor it in its worst form, the aguein the face.

The best cigars made at Havana, called tbs"Ramus," are worth in the city, at lbs fasto-ry?slsoper thousand. Few ever find theirway to this country, as they could not be seldhere for much under 40 cents each.
