MUSICAL ARTISTS IN New YoRK.-The musical
artists at present in the city, are numerous and
distinguished. We never had so many Of them.
We have Jenny Lind at Che Union Hotel, and we
are informed she does not intend to leave for
Europe till May. Whether she will sing again in
this city does not appear At the Clarendon Hotel,
on the other side Of the same square, we have
Catherine Hayes; and she, too, does not appear to
have any definite arrangement made for the future,
and we are left in ignorance whether she will sing
here in Italian opera. or proceed at once to the
South. We have Stefanone in the city; also
Badial, Bettin, Marni, and several other artists,
Of both sexes. Some of them are bright particu-
lar stars and some shine with diminished ray
They are of all ma gnitudes, from the first to the
seventh and have each their peculiar lustre differing
from Zach other, star differs from another star
in glory Then we have got tn Hutchinson family,
supported chiefly by the abotionsts and socialists
Mrs Bostwick, whose concerts are sustained by
members of the church; the Philharmonic concerts,
attended by the members Of the church; and two
houses Of negro ministrelsy, attended by both
saints and sinners. What a galaxy Of art It
seems as if we had got the music of all the spheres
in Gotham.

The ITALIAN OPERA-SALARIEs OF ARTISTS. -
In recent number of the HERALD, we took ocea-
sion to present to the public a statement showing
the enormously high remuneration exacted by opera
singers in New York, compared with what the same
persons had received for their professional services
in Europe and Havana. This information we do.
rived from the Astor Theatre concern, as being in
part explanatory Of its de cline and failure under
Max Maretzek; but we are now favored with a
counterstatement, contradicting the assertion that
artists are better paid here than elsewhere, AMI
showing that, on the contrary, in some instances,
their services are not SO literally rewarded in New
York as they had been in Europe We subioio
some OF the comp arisons:-
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1852-01-11

And SO, in like ratio, with the salaries of the
chestra and chorus, which are said to be generally
better paid in Havana than in New York. This
statement conflicts with that which we received
from the Astor Theatre source, and we do not pre-
sumo to say which is the most authentic, but leave
it open matter, in the event Of the public taking
any interest and requiring more information on the
subject. In the meantime we see that the season Of
the Union Italian Opera Company is advertised to
open neat week, and that Of the ..s1or Opera House
the following week. so that the frequentcrs of ope.
ratio performances will have an opportunity of
testing and comparing the relative management
and merits Of the rival establishments.

be exposed to darkness and the light, to pace
round in the mill OF haitian turn the wheel
Of wealth, to make reason our. book-keeper
and turn thought into an implement ofrade
this is not life. In all this, but poor frac-

awakened; and the sanctities still slum-
Der which make it most worth while to be.
knowledge, truth, love, beauty, goodness,
faith alone can give vitality to the me-

which vibrotes through the heart, the tears
that freshen the dry wastes within, the
music that brings childhood back, the pray
er that calls the future near, the doubt
which makes us mediate, the death which
startles us with mystery, the hardships that
forces us to struggle, the anxiety that ends
in trust--are true nourishmentof our natural

DARING ATTEMPT TO MURDER. IA young
man by the name ofAmer Teter, attempted
to take the life Of gentleman named Aaron
Penwall, man about 10 years Of age, in
Bainbridge, on the 14th inst. Teter went
into the tavern, and found Penwall sitting by
the fire; few words passed, none of nof-
fcnsive nature, when Teter seized a large
iron shovel and struck the old man on the
head, knocking him out of his seat and frac-
turing his skull. He then drew double
barreled pistol and swore he would blow out
the brains of Mr.. James Morrow, who at
tempted to interfere; but by this time a
crowd began to gather and an attempt was
made to arrest the villain, but taking advan-
tage of the excitement and confusion, he
made his escape. Nothing was heard of
him until the next day. 1t seems TINT dur-
ing the night he took his flight towards Gin
cinnati reached Rainsborough, in this conn
ty, where he entered the stable Of the widow
Coleman and took a fine horse, and then
continued his Hight towards Cincinnati
Teter is a yunng man about 10 years OF
age, dark complexion, about 5 feet inches
