MADAME SoNTAG's RosINA.--This is one Of
those parts in which the airy graces Of the mu-
sic give charming scope to the peculiar pow
ers, the delicate and finished, excellences OF
Madame sontag. And accordingly the queen
Of Song and Of Acting--as she still is--shone
out, last night, in all her lustre, before one
of those thronged and delighted audiences,
which she has SO constantly and so deseryedly
drawn, in this city of sure musical taste. She
was well seconded by her subordinates; of
whom 1T is saying much--be they who they
may-to say that they were able to sing along
with her and still be applauded
1t has given US pleasure to see how justly
and how warmly the audiences here have APP
preciated the rare projections of her voice, and
of her acting For in her, beyond any body
that we have ever seen, except the Incompatible
Malibran, these two supreme things vie with
each other, so that it is difficult to say if she
be best as singer or as actress. Hearing her,
indeed, one is brought to perceive that, in their
highest form, the two gifts are identical, and
that the deep and passionate sensibilities which
produce such chantress, must produce power
Of dramatic expression quite equal, And hence
we must infer, after all, her superiority to
Jenny Lind; whose voice is one to surprise
more and touch less, and whose inferior sensi-
bility leaves her but poor actress, 1t is de-
lightful, too, to perceive how marvelously Time
has respected in her Natures rare gifts: so
that We can truly say, as of Cleopatra,
Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety other women
gloy the appettea they feed but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies.

SO many;

Our German neighbor, the Deutsche Zeit,,e o,
which Of late, in its elevated ideas Of Freedom,
civil and religious, wanted to have Cardinal
Bedini mobbed, is again in much connection
This time. the object Of It's vengeful denuncia-
ton is body of which it knows, apparently
nothing but its reported existence and It's
rumored but unknown objects. It is a secret
society, said to call itself .*he Know Nothingsa
Ii 1t be really secret soeiety, we should sup
pose that its doctrines and purposes we're also
wrapped in secrecy; and accordingly the lea
t'tng does not know what they are, In this
case, too, that appears to be true which can
hardly be true in any other; namely, that the
rest of the world is quite as ill-inforped as the
Zeitung.
Really, if there be society Of Know
nothings, we should have taken it for granted
that the fayorer of clergyman mobbing belonged
to it-nay, was probably its President. They
should certainly make him an honorary member.
If they have not done SO, it is no doubt because,
in the excellence of their ignorance, they do not
even know of his claims as an ignoramus
The Zeitang, We fear, is jealous of these
men, lest they should get the advantage Of it,
by combining together the blockheadism of
many, and crushing it by great incorporation
Of nonsense
One would think it should love the Know
nothings, and g feel o brothers longing to en-
brace them. Besides, it says they hate Cath
olics. Finally, it winds up its unmeaning in
yective by asking most solemnly and saga
ciously, whether the Sc Know othings'' do not
intend to disclose themselves Hardly, we
should suppose. if they are secret association.

own counsel: II true KnoR-nothings, what can

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Wolfe, an aged
| lady, threw herself in the Carondolet Canal
| yesterday, and was with considerable difficulty
| rescued from drowning by officer Buckley.
She was brought to the police office of the Second
District, and assigned, as reason for the rash
act, that she was weary of wandering about the
city homeless and friendless.
SUDDEN DEATH.-An inquest was held last
evening, by Deputy Coroner Terrell, upon the
body Of man named VIM. Norris, aged about
40, and a native Of New York, who stepped out
| of the door Of o house on South Market street,
near st. Mary Market, and fell dead upon the
bauquette. Verdict, &c choked''
A slave man named Louis was arrested night
before last in the Fourth District for having in
his possession and attempting to sell three iu-
yenlle porkers. 1t was supposed he had stolen
them.
RECORDER WINTERS CouRT-Farst Distyict-
Lyaching. John Lloyd made affidavit in this
Court yesterday against one Mrs Lynch, charg-
ing her with having assaulted him on Claiborne
street, knocked him down with blow of her
Inst, and otherwise behaved in d most unlady-
ike manner. He therefore sought the protec-
ton of the law, and the violent Mrs. Lynch was
sent before the Criminal Court under bond.
Lareeny Bridget Fea, alias Green, was
also sent before the Criminal Court to answer q
charge OF having stolen a lot of calico and cot.

of Baronne and Poydras streets When the
officers arrested her she promised never to steal
again on condition they would let her Co.
.Murderous ,aSsault.-The case of ]. Collins
and John Wilson, charged with having assaulted
and attempted to kill with slung shot and knife,
couple of men named John Hagan and Patrick
Farrell, on Delord street, on the night of the
18th of February, came up yesterday for exam
nation. The testimony establishing the as
sault was most direct and positive 1t appears
the difficulty had its origin in some former
quarrel. and that happening to meet in the
street, Collins and Wilson made a desperate and
savage attack, the latter striking Hagan in the
head with Sung shot and the former stabbing
him several times with knife. Farrell was
also stabbed in the neck and shoulder and
knocked down by blow in the forehead with a
slung shot, which left terrible confusion. Both
men were conveyed to the Charity Hospital in a
dangerous condition, and have but recently re-
covered from their injuries. The rutfians, when
pursued by the officers, secreted Intensely in
their room, one of them coiling himself up under
a bed, and they were arrested with great diff

| The MAILS We regret the inability which
| we have been and still are under, Of Offering t.
| our readers any account of what is transpirina
IN the States which lie above South Carolina
we would apologize, were there any sufficient
reason why we should assume the blame which
belongs to others, or were we in any way def
Gent in our efforts to procure &c the very latest
intelligence from all quarters Of the world
Some time since we complained of the irregu-
larity with which the Eastern mails arrived
here, and mentioned the very serious annoyance
to which such state of things put us. Little
| did we think then that the troubles of which
| we complained were but the harbingers of evils
| still greater and more serious, and that the
| irregularity Of the mails was but q precursor
| of their entire stoppage. So, however, it was.
Shortly after our last objurgation, the disease,
which had been growing in violence very rapidly
for some weeks, assumed chronic character,
| and not being properly treated, terminated
one week ago in total stoppage of mail com.
munioation between this city and the East.
There would have been due here, to-day, seven
or eight New York mails, had it not been for
this unfortunate occurrence As it is, we have
had no news for a week past, and are not in
expectation of any for week to come. If by
that time private enterprise along the eastern
coast does not invent some more reliable method
for the transportation of news, we here shall be
compelled to charter series of regular agents
whose duty it shall be to carry and bring the
correspondence of their employers between this
city and New York. We feel confident that
very close approximation to regular communi-
cation could thus be attained; one at least
which could not be entirely stopped by all the
freshets Of all the rivers running between here
and ST. Johns
Still farther to increase our troubles both
lines of telegraph have given out, and only at
long intervals favor us with dispatches 1t
seems sometimes difficult to determine which is
least to be depended upon, the mails or tele-
graph, We think, however, that the former
would win the palm in a close contest.
Amid all this discomfort and darkness there
is, as usual, ray Of hope still left, by which
we may possibly learn whether New York is
burned or Boston destroyed by riot, or whether
aay other great event has occurred above the
Pedee. The steamship Crescent City is due here
to-day from New York, and will, unless sharing
the fate Of the Black Warrior at Havana, bring
us dates from that city not more than ten days
old In case the Crescent City shonld be de-
tanned it is possible that some traveller hither by
way Of st. Louis may have preserved an old
paper in his pocket or portmanteau, and thus
kindly enable US to publish news g in advance

the midst of such conversation as was about

younger neighbor of the Delta; and several
other lively and clever tongues around, that

FRENCH orERA.--We are gratifed to learn
that the repairs at the French Theatre have
proceeded to such an extent as to justify us in
announcing that the opera will return from
whence it came, on Saturday night next, and
open the Orleans with Meyerbeers Grand opera
of the g Prophet In the time since the aoei-
dent which temporarily closed it, the building
has been thoroughly examined and repaired,
and is now capable of holding three times the
number of people who could be packed into it.
We are sorry to lose the opera from so near
our own locality but as it was misfortune
which prompted their flight hither, and not
choice, we trust they will find fortune to ao-
company them on their return to old and favor
lite haunts.
