RICHMOND THEATRE.-MissC hippendale IS debut
on the night Of the 18th, was very successful. In
her new position she betrayed sweet and modest
timidity, which was far from unbecomng but she
clearly developed considerable dramatic power.
Her manners will soon be moulded to the various
characters she will personate her little awkward
stiffness will gradually relax into easy grace, and
then she will step the boards with power and effect
The Bellies Stratagem . was well acted and Miss
c. was strongly supported by Mrs Cramer, Ia valu-
able member Of the corps,l the pretty Kate Horn,
(whO ought never to play the chambermaid-the
elegant lady well BELTS her, and Messrs. Starke
and BeLamy. The former is an actor of great
merit and his Claude Melnotte was very good. Mr..
Bellamy is always at home,' and is indispensable
to the company Last night Miss Frances was TO
make her debut; and Tom Placide, a favorite in
Richmond, and everywhere, was to make his first
bow this season. He will be a treasure to the com
pany, whose merits are being gradually developed.
On the whole, we have fine prospect of very good
acting, and successful season.-Rictm0nd Va

TAR-BARRELs AND STUDENTS. - If all scien-

lumbia Is. c. Telegraph that the two agents
called Tar Barrels and Students, being brought in
contact or close proximity, the result is bonfire
somewhere, and the loss of the Tar Barrels to the
proprietors. We would ask some of our neighbors,
why they will persist in placing their Tar Barrels
in such manner as to expose them to the current

AN OLD DAHLIA.-This beautiful flower was
first discovered by the present inhabitants of the
world in Mexico, but it would seem by the follow
ing curious fact that the ancient Egyptians were
no strangers to it.: " In the travels of Lord Lind
say, it is stated that during his wanderings in Egypt
he discovered mummy, which the hieroglyphics
inscribed upon it proved to be at least 1000 years
old and in one of Its closed hands he found a tu-
berous or dubious root. This root he planted in a
sunny soil, and after few weeks had elapsed it
grew, and eventually bossomed into a beautiful
dahlia" It follows of course from this circum-
stance that Montezuma was lineal descendant
of Pharaoh or Cheops

WILD FLOWERS, SACRED POETRY, by the Able
Adrian Rouqueite.-This is the title of small
volume recently published in this city by T. O'Don-
nell, $50 Camp street. The poems are in English
though the author takes care to tell us that his own
language is French. In answer to the question which
he very naturally supposes viii be asked, why he
wrote in a comparatively, to him, T" unknown
tongue" he gives the following very lucid and
poetical reply:
was then as itrebly, though peasngy impelled to
write n lhaL HRoa0n language IAN ethereal and
atmosphere, burning and luminous fluid mysterious dew
q light ros taets as ayet the prophet Isaas descending
and penerafsd NJ sr nI and ievelsn frame
ooh ny pen and wrote and thus brought TO light this
Little book OF poetry titus doomed Spontaneously these
ma Fl0ners, which now usher into the world.
Here Is a fit of genuine enthusiasm regular
poetcal burst If this be the prose of the preface,
what will be the pOesy of the volume The first
piece in the book is an invocation to the Virgin
Mary, asking her assistance in the composition of
the work, and her aid to the author generally and
as it isas good specimen diverse as any which fol-
lows 1t, we quote the three concluding stanzas to
show what the author can do:
These flown then, with spirit pure
These lays, Queen offer thee =
Oh J guard my soul from giOTy's lure
And to protect, be e'er with me
In all my struggles with the world,
WIN nends unseen, untelt, though gTsat,
With demon-spiLits, thunder.hured
From realms of light TO darkest state
In dreadful hours. when driven far
On stormy sea, for eer, now
BE thou my safely -guding Star
My soul-pTotectng Shield, be thou
The next poem is to a friend, and begins:
Oh that | could yOur language write.
As you do mine,
In mystic sacred words | might
My soul enshrne;
Again l might in golden rhymes
Let flow my thought
But have been in distant climes.
And there forgot
Oh that could your language rule,
As | did once
With graceful Stress as when at school,
Each word pronounce -
Now, we do not know what the language of the
friend was or s-but should it happen to be English,
we can well understand how he sympathzed with
the poet and joined in the prayer particularly if the
correspondence between them was very extensive.
We have no doubt from these two examples that
our readers may form very correct opinion of the
u pages Of verses which the book contains we
will favor them, however, with the conclusion, in
which, after promising more of the same sort, the
author shakes the dust from his feet as he leaves
this wicked city, and takes passage on the steam
beat Olivia for the romantic shades of Bon Fouca
But here, close my book IT'S my last strain -
! cease my sOng-but to resume again -
Upon race OF MammOn, pride and lust
Ny sandals wiped t-befOre shake the dust;
Before the swift Olivia waits DER,

Before flee, for peace and Solitude

To wild BdV6H- LGc0nbe or B6RfOuca
