LOCAL MATTERS.

TuRrE CotoREp MEN DRowNED.--Three
eoiored men were drowned on Monday az
1o s. M. in the river near Curfs Neck
The particulars are as follows: Nine negroes
came over the river i'll three boats from
Nash,s farm, lust opposite Curtis wharf
-" the store OF Messrs. BakeE. Il Kemp, TO
,,,aka some purchases. After making them
the nine undertook to go back in two little
skifs-four in one and i've in the other.
when about the middle OF the channel the
boat containing the four capsized. and be.
fore the other boat could come ashore ana
nut her load out and so after them three
were drowned. The boat containing the
Eve would have taken them in, but being
hesvily laden there was great Danger OF
sinking. AS soon as possible q boat was
sent from the wharf, but only succeeded
in saving one, whose name was Jefferson
Randolph. Those lost were Julian jack
son. Frank Newsom, and Lawson Jefer-
son-all from Chesterfield county, and were
good and pcaceable negroes. Their bodies
have not been recovered up to this time.
MOZART HALL LAST -NrGHr-RosA
D'ERISA.- q wonderful woman! Such
was the comment OF the large and brilliant
audience which greeted this gifted lady
last evening. We had heard various anu
conflicting accounts Of Rosa DErina; we
had been told that she was magnlhent
singer, and that she was not; that sne was
ugly. and that she was pretty; that she
played well, and that she played badly: that
her voice was strong, and that it wasweak.
And now, after having heard her; after
having heard also Patti, Nillson, Ti-
items, Kellogg, and host OF others OF
worldwide fame and "feeling" las MILE
Rosa says the Irish do), we can emphatically
declare we have rarely passed pleasanter
evening than in listening to her rich and
musical voice, and in watching the ever-ya-
ryinp expressions Of her bright and pleas
ing face. Songs in English, French, TIA.
liam, and Spanish flowed in rapid success
sion from her hips; sad and moving Irish
airs, brilliant French and Italian songs,
and glorious Spanish hunting chorus,
in which the artistic seemed herself car
ried away; due Maria and jolly Irish Jig
were equally well rendered; until at length
the audience, inclined Mt first to be cold and
critical, was betrayed into frequent hearty
bursts OF applause, forcing several encoTeS.
A beautiful basket of flowers and an ex-
auisite bouquet testified the delight Of q
portion of the listeners, and after "Katy's
Letter." which was given with the arch
ness often missed in other artists render
ing similar pieces, we wished ourselves
for bouquet that we might throw
It to her. When she sang "Mr... Watkins's
Evening Party" poor, sad eyes which had
not shone for years, and sad lips which had
forgotten how to smile, frightened and
smiled again, and many heart forgot its
sorrow and felt light and happy while Rosa
D'Erina sang. The various selections were
introduced by interesting sketches OF the
music OF their different nationalities. To-
night we trust that no one will neglect to
hear her in different programme.
