CHARLESTON, Dec a, lS32
OuR city is again crowded with rich and racy
variety of every thing that can attract the a'ten-
ton, or brgu;c the desires of the pleasure loving and
theatre gnng multitude Miss DEAH is still winning
golden opinions Of ail sorts of people, and figuring
MS n star actress Of the first magnitude. She ap-
pears tonight in the Hunehback, and will again be
greeted BY crowded house. am Of opinion that
SHE is very much orcrratcd, but as | am in the
minority, especially among the fashionables, shall
not insist npon convincing any person against his
will. With proper training she might exc,l in
comedy, but in tragedy, never. There is snmc-
thing of the boarding school Miss abnut her, that
seems rather out of place on the stage. II may be
natural or it may BE- affected in either case time
and practice may cure it. She is wiiha' a pr"n'is-
ing actress. and may hope for an cnviaLc distinc-
tinn and Il brilliant career.
But she will probably suffer momcntary eclipse
BY h. sudden appearance of 4 superior lun'lnary
who has cons, ntrd To illuminate the fashionable
circles Of the metropolis for feU nights only, aud

dollar lesson. The must distinguished woman Of
her dav-tlc wcpt, the honorcd and the sung
Lola Alo,.cz. the Countess Of Lansfrat, arrived in
our city a few days ago by one Of the Northern
steamers, and with her suite put tuP at the Charles
| ton. She makes her debut before a Charleston
| autcncc ON Monday night, and will probably make
quite an impression among the nl"ustached Ii"n'
worshppvrs, and, perhaps, beyond that contracted
sphere. The ladies will play shy on account {"
her lofty steps. and the exceedingly Bl"onsf
fashion Of her costume, being al abridged edition

One Of the greatest wonders Of this wonderful
age of wonder loving people, is the Infant Drum
mcr, Il child only three years DID, whn performs o'
the drum with all the skill and precision Of an OLE
mounted upon chair, or marching upon th
stage, to the music of his own drum, like veteran
Of an hundred battles. lie is performing at tn
Hibcrnan Hal, and is drawing crowded houses
If he is denied lllr means Of taking high standil
! life, he seems disposed to make amends 10y tha
deficiency by making some noise in the woIh-
AMI though he may not have the satisfaction o
Enslanls matron Queen in being told that his n;ln
drum beats round the wcrl,l, yet he can aspire t.
some Of the glory Of the Sovereign Of the sra-gr
Isle, by hcating.is round the topn.
You'd scarce expect one Of my age,
To beat Il drum npuu the stage.
Charleston is becoming conscious Of her rising
greatness and is determined not to be out done
even by New York, for while the Gohamitcs ar.
running crazy after Tharkcray AMI his Lectures,
are jumping up IN imitation which may eclipse the
orginal.-l.i-ut DAVIS, Of the Navy is engaged II
