hearing the voice of one of tho most remarka.

excited the highest admiration. The company
was partly composed of musical critics, and
there seemed to be but one opinion as to the
remarkable powers of this lady. Independent,
of her voice and the long schooling which she
has had, Miss May has very fine person,
which will not fail to produce an effect on the
stage. She is prepared to accept an engage
ment in opera, and any American manager,
who desires to bring out de6utGnts of real

Another minister from the republic OF

has been received as such, satisfactory evil

place. the inter-oceanic communication by the
way Of Nicaragua is effectually interrupted,
and the persons and property Of unofending
private citizens of the United States in that
country require the attention Of their govern

due consideration without resumption of dip

Further than this, the documents commu-

transit by the way OK Nicaragua is cut off,
disturbances at Panama have occurred to OBJ
