The Hardships of Italian Lyric Artists in
Americn.
A new York correspondent of the New Or

A new York correspondent of the New Or
leans Picayuns says in recent letter.
An impressario goes to Europe to engage
singers for the Italian Opera. Among others,
Signoria Speranza, to whom he agreed to pay
a certain salary for the season. She sang one
night, oppressed by illness and fear of failure
The house received her coldly the critics
judged her harshly; the managers repudiated
the engagement; and here the poor, broken
hearted girl remains, triendless, moneyless,
hopeless. Madame Albertini and Beancarde,
not making so great ''hit as was expected,
were "ordered" to go to Havana, contrary to
their agreement. They refused; the engage
ment was broken; and they must now find
their way back to Florence, out of pocket;
and what is worse, damaged by the report OF
having failed in Americal Verify these poor
artists have a hard life of it, with their raw
nerves and delicate organization. Always in
state of mental irritation, no wonder they
are found difficult to get along with" The
most talented among themare always victims
to the intrigue and animosities of their Jealous
interiors. If prima donna happens to be
beautiful and accomplished, as well as gen.
ius in her art, every bouquet, every encore
every attention, every paragraph of praise
she receives from her admirers, calls forth
daggers of detraction and venom from her
envious enemies.

Meanness and Dreariness of the Last Ro-
man Carnival.

The correspondent of the London Morning
Chronicle draws q sad picture of the present
state of the Roman people, and then proceeds
to tell us how the carnival passed off. "Now,
to crown all their troubles, the carnival has
proved dead failure; failure even for this
dead season. During this annual saturnalia
of Rome the number of persons who reckon
on making both ends meet, by selling flow
ers or hawking sugar plums, or letting
benches, or running errands, or by dozen
other small industries, is almost incredible.
The carnival is, in fact, the harvest-time of
the very poor, and this year there is as good
as no harvest Many causes probably have
contributed to its failure. The long unwonted
continuance of chilly dull, ungenial weather,
the absence of strangers, and consequent
scarcity of money among tradesmen and
house owners-the prohibition of masks-the
severity of the military edicts--and the gloom
cast over the city by the late disturbances
have all told unfayorably. The proximate
cause, however, the final and fatal blow, con-
sists in the resolution of the upper classes in
Rome to abstain from taking part in the car
nival during the present season. know not
that in the whole course of my experience /
have ever witnessed more dreary spectacle
than the Corso has presented during these
first three days of the carnival. A listless,
squalid-looking rahble in the street, inter-
spersed with perhaps dozen harlquins, un-
masked and spiritless-a crowd, composed, in
fact, of boys and soldiers in the proportion Of
one soldierto every two boys-fles Of soldiers
lining the pavements, grouped at the street
corners, drawn up in rank at every piazza
with their muskets piled in stacks behind
them-a few shabby hangings before half
filed windows-a carriage passing at rare in
tervals, perhaps some score at most, the
whole streets length of whom fifteen are
filled with English or Americans-a solitary
band playing drearily before the deserted
balconies of the Palazzi Ruspoli, and, over
all, dull canopy of clouds such is up To
now, our carnival for the year 1850.

Comparison between Indian Women and
White Ladies.

General Sam Dale, the Southwestern In
dian fighter, says, in his memoir, just pub
lished, that he paid visit to Washington,
when jackson was President, and adds:
'The ladies of Washington struck me, who
had so long been accustomed to the sun
burned maidens of the woods, as very fair
and beautiful, very fascinating and refined.
In one thing they differ from our Indian
women; they look one full in the face, and it
is difficult to withstand their glances. An
Indian maid, when a warrior approaches,
bends her head like dropping leaf. 1t is
only in the deepest recesses, when no others
are near, that her lover sees the whole luster
of her eyes, or even the bushes that mantle
on her check. They love intensely, and make
the most faithful wives and the tenderest OF
mothers"
If General Dale had ever seen the squaws
who sell moccasins at the Niagara Falls, he
would hardly think them SO fascinatingi

TIE CoTToN BALES AT THE BATTLE OF NEW
ORLEANs.-The story of the practical use Of
cotton bales in the battle of New Orleans, is
summarily disposed Of by Parton, in his life
ofJackson." The idea, plausible as it was
cannonade kns cked the cotton bales about in
manner that made the General more glad
to get rid Of them than he had been to use
them. Some of the bales, too, caught FIRE,
aud made most intolerable and persistent
smoke, SO that, days before the final conflict,
every pound Of cotton was removed from the
lines. A similar error was made by the
enemy, who, supposing that sugar would
employed hogsheads of sugar in the forma-
tion of their batteries. The first ball that
knocked hogshead TO pieces and kept on its
destructive way unchecked, convinced them
that sugar and sand, though often found to-
gether, have little In common. 20

We learn through private source that the

this gentle manifestation his memory was

obtained by this process en- which the preach

of the cruel punishments inflicted on Northern
travellers in the South are grounded. Il isa
