A MISUNDERSTANDING the Asia's re-
ports, as we have already mentioned, is
the fact that the ship James Chester, OF
Baltimore, abandoned at seal had been
fallen in with by the British ship Marathon,
and taken into Liverpool by portion
of her crew.
This will be capital prize for them, as
she is nearly anew vessel built in Balti-
more in 1854, and is 1888 tons burden
valued at about $4,000. The cargo when
she left Baltimore, was worth at least
S15O,00O. There is insurance on both vessel
and cargo in this city and Baltimore, and in

D'Ormy, the contralto singer Of the,
German Opera Company, now perfor-
ming at Niblo's. In dispensing the
Inequalities Of her establishment, she
had run up wine bill to the amount
Of 1927 so. After several unsuccess-
fful attempts in sending in her account
the wine merchant, himselfa German,
called upon her in person and demand
ed payment. The amiable singer,
with smile that never leaves her face
replied,"I really have no money with
which to pay you. You can take what
ever you see here, or you can take me !!
The offer was such singular one,
and, considering the circumstances Of
the case, so generous, that the petulent
dun melted into goood humor, and
concluded to make the best Of bad
bargin. So he took Mile D'Ormy,
and they were married. Thus we are
indebted to ia Hungarian singer for
"a new way to pay DID, wine Bills
But $27 so was rather cheap for a
prima donna. ~

is nothing but an imitation often is.
Her works are all finished specimens,
for the chisel Of the Divine Sculptor.
Art only approximates to nature and
in as far as nature is ftted. just so far,
is art sublime and beautiful. It is the
universal opinion of mankind that
"the human form divine" is the eli.

that nothing is more revolving to
mans eye, than beautiful female
figure, badly fitted in wearing appar-
Ell. The ladies themselves will agree
with us on this point: and for this
reason it is, that we direct them again,
to call on Mrs. May, at Mrs. Hubs.
