Our last, and the present issues, con-
tain communications from our old friend
w. Fl. P. Denny, under the heading of
"reminiscences of an Old Editor" These
letters will be interesting to our readers

Be1shazzar the King.
This brilliant cantata will be produced
at Music Hall, in this city, on Thursday
and Friday evenings, March 9th and 9TH,
under the management and direction OF
Donaldson and Parr, and will certainly
be the finest entertainments, of musical
character, ever given in this city. II
will be remembered by our citizens, that
these gentlemen produced the cantata OF
''Esther, the Beautiful Queen,' here,
about one year ago, with immense sue
cess. The plot of Belshazzar, or the Fall
of Babylon, is entirely different from that
of Esther, and the music far more elabo-
rate. No one should fail to hear and wit
ness this grand piece of Biblical history
arranged to beautiful music. The follow
ing is the caste of characters:
Belshazzar, Kingof Babylon. Mr.. H. J. PAR
Daniel, Prophet of Israel Mr.. E. J. Pric
Zerubbabel, Governor of the Jews. j H Donaldson
Festus, Lord Chamberlain. Mr.. j. P. Robinson
