THE CIRcUs.-The last performance Of this
great equestrian company will be given tonight,
upon which occasion rich selection of enter
tainments is to be presented. We advise all
who would pass an evening of unalloyed salts
faction to attend. The exquisite riding of
Messrs. Dale, Stout, and Rockford, is alone
worth more than the price of admission to wit
ness, to say nothing Of all the other exciting
novelties, including the funniments of those rare
geniuses, Jennings and May. By all means
pay farewell visit to the big circus.

Col. MAY.-The New Orleans Delta

Col. MAY.-The New Orleans Delta of the
23d October says:
Colonel Charles May arrived in our city by
the Empire City. We were happy to find the
gallant Colonel in fine condition and spirits.
He has been ordered to Fort Mason, on the
frontier of Texas, to take command of squad
ron of dragons. The Colonel, we learn, created
a great sensation in Havana. His stalwart
figure, manly carriage, and gallant manner,
impressed the Spaniards with a great awe and
respect for American prowess and character.
The Colonel has many friends in this city, whilst
the reputation of his gallantry and manliness
in the celebrated battle of Resaca de la Palma
has extended his fame over the world. We wish
him many years of happiness and gratifed am
bition.

John Minor Botts.

This gentleman is out in strong and elo-
quent letter. real Bolts letter-in which he
declares his defeat to be nothing compared to
the success Of the great Wing party-in which
he waves oil personal considerations, and pro-
claims himself Wing entirely, even to his toe
nails Of the Wings who voted for Judge
Caskie, he says to the men of his party: "You
denounce these men as traitors Why? Be-
cause they have abandoned their party in the
hour of need. Hoo can you pursue similar
course without sutecting yourselves 10 a similar
charge? In condemning them as unworthy,
are you not asserting your superiority? and i
you do no better than they haze done, do you not
disprove your own claim TO supriority?" Ger
tainly they do, Mr.. Bolts; but are there, in
deed, such men about you? We suppose SO
for the Richmond Republican, in commencing
this advice, says: I'VE would particularly in
woke those friends of Mr.. Bolts who may be
making rash resolves never to vote for the
'Whig ticket again, and to vote for the Demo-
cratic ticket ut the next election, to consider
'his wise, sensible, and generous advice"

IMPORTANT MEDICAL DIscovERY.-The Mo-
bile and New Orleans papers announce dis
covery that we earnestly hope may prove all
that is now expected and claimed for it. 1t is,
that phosphate Of lime is sovereign remedy not
only for scrofula and other diseased conditions
of the system, but also for tubercular consump-
ton. "Before these dreadful Diseases" says q

Georgia, that the ball put in motion in Rich

Charleston, and two in Savannah, have already
been established; and we understand that the
convention at Macon will contain some of the
first commercial minds of the South. The dele

lie hotels cannot accommodate them.

RAINY NIGHT.-0ur city was last night en-
veloped Gin thunder, lightning, and in rain"
Our streets became rivers, and the black clouds
in the heavens flashed like colossal batteries Of
artillery. Thousands who had ventured out
had to fly in every direction for refuge; the
tents of the great circus bagged and dripped,"
and the spectators for time endeavored to
perform the feat Of standing on one foot to keep
the other dry, until the increasing waterfall
and the rising floods invited them to paddle up
street, against the current, like SO many mus
covies
On the Avenue, near the market house, con-
tiguous to the newly-opened gas channel, hole
was made by the flowing waters and into this,
some three or four feet deep, popped quite
jolly number Of aquatic pedestrians, some Of
whom grumbled, while others swore, and oil got
ont as soon as they could.

down the avenue with the speed of hurricane,
the Messrs. White, on the Avenue, met with

its ponderous weight goods, counters, sc. For

The OPERA AT RICHMoND.-The Republican

sindisposition and fatigue Of several of the ar
stistes. They were SO frequently encored by the
enlightened and appreciative audience before
whom they appeared in Washington city, on
Monday night that the performances were
continued to a late hour
This is altogether mistake. There were
but few encores, and not single piece was re-
peated. The repetition of a few of the con-
Guiding strains, or bow in acknowledgment of
the applause, was all the response they gave;
and their audience departed from the hall at
ten minutes past ten o'clock.
We like to hear compliments in favor of our
"appreciative audience" but we will not re-
ceive what is offered above without regretting
that the applauding out Of time was more fire.

singing was interrupted and over-noised by the
unskilled ecstatcs of a part Of our enlightened

full of the consciousness that to appear magni-
fcently delighted was the only orthodoxy of the
world Of exquisites
We were pleased with the music, and pro-

ing us only twenty singers and players,
instead Of the one hundred and twenty with
whom he had so solemnly threatened us in the
