BERLIN, September 21.
The Nordeleutsche Allgenzeine Zeitung of to-day
says : '' The following letter, received by Count
Bismarck-, with the postmark Loudon, Sept. 15,'
may be considered a pattern of British courtesy :
Sir,—Take care of yourself, or else you will get your
brains blown out ; and the first time you show your face
in England I will give you the greatest thrashing you
have ever had, although you are the Prime Minister of
King William of Prussia.—l remain, you blackguardly
scouudrel, A BRITON.

Publish this if you dare !
To Compte of Bismarck.
" Which,"adds the Norddeutsche, "we do herewith."

ST. JAMES'S HALL.

---s---

The "original and veritable" Christy Minstrels
have commenced their winter season in London at
St. James's Hall. The entertainment of the
Christy Minstrels has always been a pleasant and
agreeable one, and doubtless the present season
will be no exception to those given during
their last visit to the metropolis, which
we '"are• told is nearly five years ago.
Amongst them are Messrs. G. W. Moore, J. P.
Crocker, J. Ritter, and 11. Hamilton, and they
are assisted by Mr. Horace Norman, Mr. J. Raw-
linson, Mr. Winter Haigh, Mr. J. H. Williams,
&c. The performances comprise an ample variety
of novelties; and each section of the enter-
tainment is illustrated by dioramic scenery,
which greatly enhances the general effect. Comic
songs, sentimental songs, eccentric songs and dances,
instrumental solos, together with a succession of
dramatic scenes, are given with great rapidity and
much pr6fusion. The whole entertainment is well
put together, and the burlesque element prevails to
a sufficient extent to render it impossible for the
audience to lapse into serious contemplation.
The accommodation and comfort of the audience has
been carefully studied in every respect ; but it is
only due to Mr. F. Burgess to state that he inva-
riably succeeds in pleasing his vast and extensive
circle of acquaintances, who look upon him as one
of the best acting managers before the public.
