that the engagement OF Mr.. aud Mrs. Waller
is to be prolonged, and that during a portion

bic. We need scarcely adopt the usual phras es
Of compliment il speaking Of these attractive
performers, for 1T is admitted universally that
Mrs. Waller is, with perhaps the exception OF
Charlotte Cushman,) the greatest tragic ac-
Iress now on The stage, and Mr.. Waller has
achieved a high repu tation in the parts in
which he appears. II is due TO the manage
ment to say that they have, in the various
plays lately produced, arranged The "cast' in a
satistacto y manner, aud the leading stars can
have reason to complain of a want of ade-
quate support We may therefore anticipa

CHRISTMAS IN CHARLEsToN--It seemed, on
Tuesday, as il the elements had conspired to
make the merriest day of all the year the most
gloomy aud forbidding out OF doors. But
Young Charleston was not 50 easily to be de-
prived of the privileges and enJoyments otthe
festival Everywhere might be seen the evil
dences of The spirited strife between rain and
rejoicing, mist and merriment. The ever
green's III the market places were coated wiih
an uncomfortable moisture-per tinacious
crackers exploded spitefully upon the damp
sidewalks, and Hhe misty shop Windows
decked as they are decked at no other time
shone temptingly upon the muddy youngsters
who were so fortunate as to have escaped
from the parental roof to revel in the full
fruition of Christmas fun and Christmas fog.
Within doors there was the usual frolic and
endowment, and the fact that they were no
longer people of the United States, did not d.
minish "a whit of the Zest with which people
reIis he'd their turkeys and demolished their
plum puddings and mince pies. We venture to
nreaict thai mex Christmas they will eat them
with stiii keener enJoyment-Charlsss0a

SUICIDE OF AN ADMIREK OF GARIBALDT.-A
sad event has occurred in the island of Ca
prera. The son of the Colonel of the Italian
Legion at Montevideo passed some days on
a visit TO General Garibaldi, and as the Colo
mel was an old frieAd and companion in arms
OF Garibaldi III America, every attention was
shown the young man. When the moment Tor
departure arrived. the latter seemed quite in
des air at the idea Of leaving, and on entering
a boat which was TO convey him TO a vessel,
he pulled out pistol, and before any one
could prevent him, discharged it in his breast l.
Gari baldi, hearing the report, hurried mp, and
did all he could tor his guest, who, however,
expired in few hours. No other reason can
be assigned for this rash act Than that the
young mans entnlsiasm ior uarioaidi was SO
from him.
