BLACK PR1O1A DoNNA.-The Tribune trans

3 new musical celebrity at Farls
People have often spoken of black Malibran

theatrical humbug. But thing need only be
often said, in order to be realized; the news was
false before, but it is now true. The Black
Malibran is no fiction, we have heard her.
Madame Marie Martinez, born at Havana, IS the
first chamber singer to her catholic Majesty the
Queen of Spain. In going from Madrid to Lon
den, she has decided to remain at Paris.
At what theatre will she present herself to the
curiosity of the public? Or even will she make
her appearance at all? We are unable to say
All that we know is, she has a magnificent SO.
prano voice, whose notes, vibrating are pearly
when high, soft and velvety in the mediu m and
have in the low tones the masculine ring of the
contralto.
THERE'S somethig strange and savage in these
extreme sounds which have never been heard
from our European threats. Madame Martinez
accompanies herself on the guitar, which, in her
skilful hands, is completely transformed the in
strument is no longer grinding and monotonous:
sometimes it is sweet and delicious as a harmony
of flutes and hautboys; then, it let's fall torrent
of passionate notes rolling like drum. All this
is poetical and charming. But what will sur
prise our diletant, will be to hear her vocaize
like Madame Persiani, and also to draw out such
fine tones as if she had practised ten years with
a class of the Conservatory under Rubnii or
Duprez.

PoNTIUs PILATE.-A legend is popular
among the people of Vienna, concerning the
death of Pontious Plate. The story is of
a strange character, and throws wild and
pleasing interest over the locality which
commentaries the event. Not far from
Vienna is situated small Roman to wer; its
walls are built square and rise to an unusu-
al height. Its lattice work overlooks the
waters of the river; and the lofty shadows
of its exterior envelope the shining flood
winding at its base, with perpetual gloom,
that seems TO borrow an additional feature of
melancholy from the character of the deed
which is supposed to have been enacted there
This place is called the Tower be Mancon
seul. After the crucifiction of Jesus Christ,
PLATE, broken in spirit, retired to the tow>
er, to indulge his grief, and to hide his lam
entations from the eyes Of his unbelieying
people. Here, violently susceptible of the
great wrong and wickedness he felt himself
to have participated in, in paroxysm of de-
spair he threw himself from the lofty wins
dows of the tower, and persisted in the wa
ters of the Rhone. The Swiss have likes
wise their traditionary account Of the death
of PLATE. AT the foot of one of the Alpine
mountains called by the name of PLATE,
stands small lake; it is constantly in dis
tnrbed state, and quite often the scene of
violent storms. Gloom and solitude are
the leading characteristics ofthis unfrequen-
ted place, which presents but wild and ILL
boding picture to the eyeof the traveller.
Enfeebled in body, and his mind the prey
of ceaseless remorse, Plate is said to have
reached the margin of this lake, and there
TO have seated himself, and drunk of its wa.
tiers. An alien from his country and his
race, without friends or solace, he resigned
himself to the bitterest of his reflections,
and finally threw himself into the waters at
his feet. The tranquility of the scene is said
to have become changed from that time.
The waters are often visited by severe and
unaccountable agitatons, which the legends
say are caused by the writings of the trou
bled spirit of PLATE. The adjacent nouns
tains are Swallowed all the year, and the SUI
perstitious inhabitants of the district affirm
that apparitions are frequently TO be seen
in the neighborhood, and lamentations are
sometimes heard upon the winds, waiting
the echoes of the mountain Businesses.

TERMS OF ADVERTISING :


The whole population of San Francisco was
aroused by fire on the night of the 4th of May.
By the time the people were out of bed the fire
was raging terribly on one of the public build
ings. The fire spread to the FL Dorado on one
side and Delmonico's en- the other. Before
people had time to collect their scattered sem
ses, the Verandab, opposite the Ell Dorado, was
wrapped in flames, and thence spread along
Kearney and Washington streets. At the same
time it was spreading down Clay street. till
finally every house but two in the entire block
was destroyed. In the mean time the destru-
ton equally great and rapid was going along
Kearney street. Finding that the only method
of staying the destructive element in that direc-
ton was to take away its food, every house on
Dupont street, from Washington to jackson
streets, was torn down. The bocktowards the
Bay was fired. But little better than seven
houses were left on it. Thus it will be seen
that the very heart of San Francisco is burned.
Upon the several blocks mentioned there are
but nine buildings left standing. Loss about
100000.
The Pacific News of May 18th says:--"The
district of our city which burnt about ten days
ago, is already partially built up. Many vacan-
cies are vet untouched; but few days only
will elapse until business is resumed through
that portion of the CITY, On yesterday we saw
several stores filling with goods on their former
SITES" This we should call doing up business
in very prompt manner. We suppose, how
ever, that the buildings erected are not of very
substantial character. Chic Tri6.

STRAY CHILD.-Quite an excitement was
got up on one of the steamboats, last week, on
her way to Buffalo in consequence of the dis
covery ola child, being found in one of the state
rooms, without claimant. 1t became quite
noisy, and its screams awakened the synpathies
of all on board. Inquiries for its parents be-
came general, and the Steward of the boat was
at length called in requstion, who, after thor.
ough search, found man who owned the child
He had avoided making himself known prompt
ly UNDER feeling of embarrassment. The child
had no mother, at least it had a mother but moi
on board. They had been living in one of the
western cities, where its mother had deserted
him, taking with her this child. The husband
searched her ont, got possession Of the child
and put on board of this boat to bring it to Buff
falo, in the hope that the mother would follow
and return to her family.
Such are the scenes that occasionally occur
on board of our steamboats,; and it is such I'M
happy incidents in domestic life that induce
sturdy old bachelors to bless the star CT their
celibacy- Buffalo Republic.

Gen Taylor become Sugar Planter Pre-
sident Taylor, we understand, has purchased
the SPLENDID sugar plantation of Capt. Fuller
ton, situated about 25 miles from the city, on the
right bank of the river. He paid, we understand
$4,000 in cash. 1t is the purpose, we learn,
of the General to abandon his Gotten plantation
near Rodney, which is subject to constant over
flows, and concentrate his force upon new pur-
chase We have no doubt that about the time
the General gets his new plantation under way,
the annexation and independence of Cuba will

"PooR JERSEY. The following incident
took place not long since on board one of the
Mississippi steamers:
a party of gentlemen were conversng upon
the a-absorbing topics of the unhappy differen-
ces existing between the North and South, and
each one, of course, had something to say in ia
vor of his own State. One of the gentlemen re-
marked that he belonged to Jersey, and was pro-
ceeding to show forth the merits of thai much-a-
bused portion Of our Union, when he was inter-
rupted by jolly looking customer, with mer-
ry eye, and a somewhat elongated proboscis,
with the interrogatory,
edo you really belong to Jersey?"
81 do, indeed!:' was the answer.
swell, then, give me your hand. All poor
Jersey!' he continued, with deep-drawn sigh
-' poor Jersey Come, sir, what'll you take
to drink You are welcome to the very best
that can be had on board this boat"
The gentleman, somewhat surprised, inquired
the reason of the joker's esteem for Jerseymen.
''It is not exactly esteem-the feeling cher
ISL towards these unfortunate people smacks
more of compassion," he replied.
ssPlease explain YOURSELF said the Jersey
man, ~ do not understand you."
Well, then, the fact is, was the answer, 81

apt to be dry as any class of men out, and new
er met one in my life but was either too mean
or too poor to buy drink so make it point
