The merchant Haniel, of Ruhrort, on the fiftieth anni•
versary of his marriage, has made a present of $lO,OOO
to the town of Berlin, for the endowment of an hospital.
The New York MuB leaf Review says Concert tours
by foreign artistes during the present season have all
turned out failures, with one exception. Strakosch
always succeeds. He understands the tastes and desires
of our public so well, that even a third-rate prima donna
under his direction will reap more laurels and dollars
than De Lagrange herself. The latter artiste has just
returned from an unsuccessful tour with Gottschalk
through Canada and New York. Miss Adelaide Phil.
lips's western tour was abandoned almost as soon as
commenced ; Ole Bull has laid aside his violin, and
taken the stump for Fremont ; and so'with all the rest

back a well•filled purse."
