VINCENT NoLTE's BooK-We are indebted to
Redfeld, Of New York, through ]. G. Morgan,
Of this city, for copy Of Vincent Eolte's Fifty
Years in both Hemisphere" 1t is transla-
ton from the German, in which languageit was
originally published, and gives the autobiogra-
ply Of an adventurous German in Europe and
the United States. Some portions are very in
terestiDg, and the whole is readable and pleas
ant. We alluded to the work some months since
and propose to notice it at greater length here
after. 1t has no little interest here, owing to
the fact that Nolte was for some years resident
Of New Orleans, was out in the battle under
jackson, was large business man-and some
thing of a rascal. He alludes to many of our
living citizens, and always racily. This book il
singular mixture of truth and falsehood.

ATRoclous. English tavern keepers simply
give notice by advertisement of their intention
to " dress fine live turtle on such day but
the Yankee most atrociously, writes in chalk
upon the animals back, Soup tomorrow" and
places him on parade before the hotel, thus
basely making him party to his own murder,
and compelling him, in defiance of all the laws
OF nations, to advertise his own execution,
We regret to be Obliged to admit the truth Of
this charge for we yesterday saw one Of tre-
mendous size displayed in this unfeelng manner
at the Shades, the Judge at the same time ccolly
assuring us that the unfortunate creature would
DO served up in soup to-day at the usual hour.

NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION. On last Thurs
day, says the Raleigh IN CO. Star of the 9th
inst, the good people of this State cast their
votes for Governor Of the State, members Of the
Legislature and sherifs of the different coun-
ties The contest has been long and animated
We have borne our share in it, with the belief
that, in supporting the Wing cause and candi.
dates, we were doing what our duty required Of
us for the interest Of the State. So far as we
have learned, we feel oheered by the Hattering
vote given Gen. Alfred Dockery. and we have
every confidence in the belief that he has been
chosen the next Governor
In seventeen counties that two years ago gave
an overwhelming Democratic majority, the
majority for Thomas Bragg, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, is ASIA; this shows a
Wing gain Of 2010 votes An official statement
gives Alfred Dockery, the Wing candidate, 1916
majority in nineteen counties. ..
The Democrats have net gain of three mem
bers of the Legislature, but it is nevertheless be-
lieyed that the Legislature will again be under
the control of the Wings ....- D..
Hon William A. Graham, Wing, has beer
elected to the State Senate from Orange
county. .
A Wing Senator has also been elected from
Halifax county.
Wake, Cumberland, New Hanover, Johnston
Northampton and Mecklenburg counties return
Democratic Senators.
New Hanover, northampton and Wake coun-
ties give majority of 144S for Bragg.

We regret to learn from communication in
the Mobile Register of the 10th inst, that the
owners Of the steamships Black Warrior and
oahawba, after the present trip Of the latter,
will be reluctantly compelled to Withdraw them
from their present service.
The Registers correspondent, in speaking Of
the causes which lead to this calamitous measure
for Mobile, says "they (the owners) have made
faithful trial Of the capabilities Of Mobile TO
sustain line of steamers, and have failed to
succeed in their attempts not because of want
OF business, but because of the distractions in
the bay and harbor, rendering it impossible for
their ships to approach the wharf, except on a
few occasions when high rivers and strong south
erly winds made the water unusually high and
because the ruinous expense attendant upon the
management of the vessels below the bar, swat
lowed up so much money as to preclude the pos.
sibility Of rendering the line profitable.
This will DO great blow to our prosperous
sister, and no doubt cause her citizens TO APP
preciate fully the contracted policy of the pre-
sent Administration in yetoing the River and
Harbor Bill

Great FIre-Parliament-hOu Adjoining
Buildings, and Library Destroyed.

QUEBEC, Feb L. The parliament-house and
buildings adjoining have been totally destroyed BY
FIRE, including the splendid government library,
philosophical apparatus, &c.
The fre broke out at o'clock this morning, in
the main building, and the flames could not be
checked or subdued until the property was in
ruins. A small part Of the library was saved. The
historical library and apparatus were almost en-
tirely consumed
There is an insurance Of $150,000 on the build
ings, which will fall far short Of covering the loss
The library is also insured for $4,000, which
covers only moderate portion Of its value. The
impression prevails that the fire was caused by an
incendiary.

Risiey and Goodall,s variete. ~ Tuesday

Risicy and Goodallss Varietc. - Tuesday
evening was the second one of the engagement OF
Miss Eliza Logan. The house was thronged, at
an early hour, by an eager and expeciant au-
dence; and the public anticipafions were more
than realized by tne elegant and successful per-
formances In the character Of Julia, in Sheridan
KnowIes's beautiful play of the Hunchback, Miss
Logan is unequalled for precision, elegance, and
for a delicate and sympathetic appreciation Of the
dramaiist. She comes TO us with reputation and
a success Justly acquired, without any OF the
usual extrinsic advantages in the histrionic art.
Her striking and feeling rendering of "Julan was
so minute, yet so gushing over with naturalness
and characterized by depth, TO evoke the sponta-
throws her whole soul with warmth and gentle
energy into her subject
With an open, amable, and peculiarly intellec-
tual countenance, she places more confidence in
the sterling qualities OF mind and heart constant
study, and attention, than in the unmeaning ex-
ternas and cunning tricks of art, or the ingratat
ing hippancy of mere personal charms
Mr. Goodall's triumphant d-lineation Of Sir
Thomas Clifford elected the most unbounded APP
plause. He enters with fire. force, and peculiar
originality into all the delicate shades Of that cha
racter He has fine, melodious, and deep-toned
voice, that vibrates on the ear. He speaks with
what the French call an /" adorable melancholy"
Mr. Bowes, in the character Of Hunchback, ex-
hibits talent, zeal, and .vigor.
Mrs. Gadstanes Helen was rendered with all
that grace and artlessness for which this accom-
plished artistic is Justly eminent. She has soul
and expression, and, above all, nature. Her voice
is so soft, SO admirably modulated, and her dcton
pure wtha there is propriety Of manner, and
none of that gaucAerie of gesture which frequently
disfgures some of the more eminent on the stage
In execution, her physiognomy is lively, and her
dark eye seems singularly magnetic; grace, talent,
and beauty are united.
Mr.. Gallagher, in the role Of Modus, acquitted
himself in the most satisfactory manner. He is
evidently one who has studied much, and his de-
lineation of Modus was unexceptionble.
Mr. Morton, as Master Wilford. made a favora-
BILE impression. Mr.. M. is improving, and, with
application and due patience, will make good
actor.
Mr. Robinson. in the character of Fathom, eli
cited roars of laughter. II is difficult to look at
his quizzical face and refrain from merriment
The performances were concluded by the farce
of "A Day in Paris in which Mrs. Littell, better
known as Miss Kate Ludlow, successfully per-
sonated the principal female character.
