JAMES H. CALDWELL, Esq. manager Of
| the American Theatre in Newt Orleans, was
stabbed in the streets, on the night of the 3lst
| ult by a young man named Lallande, q French
man, and said to be attached to the French
Theatre, st. Louis-street. Mr.. Caldwell is an
able manager, one ofthe best light Comedians
in the country, and would do honor to any
Dramatic Company of the continent. He is
an Englishman by birth, and was introduced
to this country, by the late Mr.. Holman, and
made his first appearance in Charleston, South
Carolina, where he was for while decidedly
popular, and gained host of friends, who
treated him as the God Of their Dramatic
ldolatry His line of business, was, according
TO his arrangements with Mr.. Holman, Sec
ondcry light Comedy, and secondary Trage-
dy, but taking advantage ofhis popularity, he
refused, like too many of his profession, to
abide by the terms of his engagement, and
demanding first parts or nothing, was expelled
from the Theatre. He now made an appeal
to the public, and succeeding in working the
play-going people up to fever heat, he de-
manded to be rcinstated in the Theatre, and
required first parts, which being denied him, a
riot was the consequence, and the interior of
the Theatre was demolished. Mr.. Holman,
finding that he would be obliged to break up
his establishment, allowed Mr.. Caldwell to
appear for one night, Immediately after the
Theatre had been repaired, on which occasion,
he appeared for tho first timo, in the character
of Hamlet, to crowded audience; and never
was the Danish Prince more inhumanly mur-
dered than he was on this occasion. After
this, Mr.. Caldwell took the mana cement of the
New-Orlcans, Nashville and Huntsville Thea
tres, where we now find him.

authentic documents, that the slave captains
throw into the sea, every year, about 5000

more than half are thus sacrificed while yet

 Thy grandmother,' said my uncle Toby. addressing himself to young Arabella, just from London, and who was playing the bat tie of Marengo, on the piano. thy grand mother, child,' said he, used to play on a much better instrument than thine.'
 Indeed said Arabella, how could it have been better? you know 1t is the most fashion able instrument, and is used by every body that is any thing
 Your grandmother was something, though she never saw a piano forte.'
 But what was the name of the instrument had it strings, or was it played by keys ? \
 You must give me time to recolect the name; it was indeed stringed instrument, but was played by the hand.'
 By the hand alone ?-How vulgar; but protest should like to see one, and pappa shall buy me one when return to Lon don. Do you think that we can obtain one r
 No, you will not probably find one in Lon don. but doubtless they may be found in some ofthe country towns.'
 How many strings had it Must one play with both hands and could one play the double bass ? f''' @
 know not whether it would play double bass, as you call it, it was played with both hands and had two strings li E Two strings only surely you are testing !; how could good music be produced an such an instrument, when the piano has two or three hundred? ?
 On, the strings were very long. one about IA feet, and the other might he heightened at pleasure, even to 50 or mOre.'
 What prodicious deal of room it must take up, but no matter, I will have mine in the old hall, and pappa may have an addition built to it, for he says shall never want for any thing, and SO does mamma. Were the strings struck with little mallets like the piano, or were they snapped like harpsichord?' r

From his lonely grave by the sea washed sand To the cline of lis fame we bore him, For he could not rest in foreign land With the red cross waving OCT him So we covered his breast with the stars of light In the flag that he loved SO dearly, When he met the proud foe in his might, And the battle followed cheerly. % With mourning flag haIf-mast displayed, We reused our drums to meet him, ! And fore and aft we stood arrayed, With minute guns to greet him: . White<memory showed him ever nigh As he looked when fame had crowned him, With victory becoming from his eye, And freedom cheering round him. Like some bright fewer that meets its doom, Where the scorching winds have hasted; Like some young pine whose mountain bloom, The bolts of Heaven have wasted a- So fell the beautiful and brave,
 In the zenith of his, glory, With nations tears to wet his grave, And embalm his name in story.
 Then strew his bier with early flowers, And wave the laurel OCT him,
 Who made the sea's proud Mistres "ours," What none had done before him.
 Let ocean hear and roll along, Till winds and floods are weary;
 While music wakes the chords of song, For the Hero of Lake Erie.
