We had the pleasure yesterday Of meeting with
our esteemed friend, Col Wlloughby Williams,
Of Nashville. on his return from his plantation,
on the Arkansas urcT- He brings most
cheering reports from the Gotten crops in Ar
kansas. Col. W. has gathered or his RieniaHd
plantation. twenty-five miles below Pine Bluff,
eight hundred bales, the produce Of The labor
or sfHtv-fouF hands From another p.anta-
tion. not far from Richlsnd. where be employs
forty hands, be has already gathered and ship
ped SIX hundred bales. Fourteen bales to the
hand, we should call good crop, even for Ar
kansas. Col Williams, who is a successful
planter. as wei Is a FIRST rate Democrat, says
that there are many Of his neighbors who have
done quite as wei as he, and that in his section
the product viii sversgs three Thousand pounds
Of seed cotton to the acre. This, We dare say,
viii look IKE a good many squirrels on a tree
10 our Georgia and south Carolina friends, but
may be relied upon as strictly true.
Mar o. rHr CrrY-John Newsom, Esq,
has received a large lot Of Fuckers maps Of
the city, fresh from the Engraver- Tie tx
cellenee Of this map and beautiful style Of get
ting up, arc greatly admired. ia number Of
them were purchased b. council and sent 20
cities that have shown various ooartesies 70
Memphis. they would do more 10 make Mem
phis and its extent and Importance better
known abroad, than any other plan that could
be- adopted. We hear, almost every day, strsn-
gers expressing their astonshment at the eX-
tent and population Of Memphis, and the
amounts Of Business done here; theyneFer knew
the importance # Memphis until they walked
ats streets. II these maps Of Rockers were
dissem mated, people would soon learn how de-
Gectfve their conceptions Of the place have been.
The map has been q very expensive thing to
get up. and subscribers who have received
copies would do well 10 promptly send in their
contribution thsy are wanted

This troupe contains a rare combination Of
talent, and il is seldom cur city has had an op-
portunity Of seeing 50 many distinguished art
ists IN a single troupe. PaTodi's voice is a rich
mezzo-soprano, and she siugs better than when
she first came to this country. Her execution
as most wonderful, ss al can testify who have
ever heard her attempt Hummelps celebrated
Variations. Madame Wilborst, formerly Miss
Cora Witheis, Of New York. always enjoyed
the reputation Of being one Of the fnest ANA
teurs in America. and her Subsequent tour and
study in Europe have enabled Der to take place
fsinger in the front tank Of artistss.
Madame strskoseh has always been one Of
the most popular concert singers in America
VINO ever heard English songs OF Scotch bal
lads better rendered2 The slight "tinge'' Of
foreign accent, to our democratic tastes, rather
enhances the effect Madsme S retains an
that adiuae and ohsnming sweetness Of nan
ner, that, as Amelia Patti, made her a uniFer-
sal favorte with the public She has been
quite indisPosed since her arrival here, but
her crueI admirers cannot BE- iuficed 10 let her
Of without an eHoorc.
Amodio IS greet feature in lhis troupe. he
is immense, both asa man end an artist. We
doubt II 50 good q voice has been heard SINCE
the davsof Lsblache. II is not only extrsor-
binary for power and compass, but possesses
sweetness, and is always sympathetic and IA
time.
Henry Squires is an American, but has
su,died in ItsIy. This accounts for The music
being IN his throat and not IN his name. he
possesses a sympathetic tenor voice Of good
compass. and thstrseuiary siied quality which
distinguishes he voice Of Marie. Though
singing Itslian music well, We think bis forte
rs IN ballad music and English opera Wehk
him much.
Sen1r Bsriii, the baritone, 8 a me sPeeimel
Of a good Italian singer andacior ; he should
be seen to BE- appreciated, in opera His act
ing in the opera Of Rigoleia is unaRProaeha'
be.
Sig. Nicola, uhe basso profundo, is also an
artist Of great merit and in the performances Of
his role elicits he admiration Of musical critic
everywhere.
Attractions such as these, 70 say nothing Of
81 S,rakosch's CANDY unique and astonish-
ing performances on the Piano-foue. Of which
uis impossible to gain any just idea without
hearing them, deserve to III the thester nightly.
Nosuch combination Of fine voices has ever beer
heard in this city, and Il may be long before
such talent nav again visit us Ne should b
greatly pleased 10 have this troupe give US one
entire opera, q the chorus and wardrobe car
be procured In the city. But. gratifying AZ
such a thing would b. 70 most Of the patrons q
the Gsiety, we can hardly expect it, and shat
content ourselves viii the selections q soiol
and concerted pieces and ballads, aud wonder
hl performances on the piano, which night,
elicit applause from crowded ouses. Tonight
there is anothor excellent bin, and we hope our
citizens viii erinee their good taste by again
filing the theatre.
