O’Day had achieved an unenviable reputation. He was Very intemperate in his habits, and when under the lunuence of liquor was overbearing 10 such an extent that he became a terror to the neighborhood.

THE LAIE JIIt UlIBlISKAMI!. Letters from Sliuister . Cartih ‘ and the o'Jiinese Umbanjr. In the correspondence between Minister Curtin and Mr. Pish; the former, writing from St. Petersburg, Feb. 23i says : f . “ The Chinese ministers and their suite are deeply distressed at Mr. Burlingame’s death' though they announce that they will continue the mission, Sun-Tajen and Tehih-Tajen now taking the head of'it. Unfortunately, Mr Brown is not here,and cannot arrive before ' Sunday night. Gen. Vlangally, the Russian Minister at I’ekin, who was in daily consulta tion with Mr. Burlingame up to his illness fears that the Chinese may construe Mr. Barli n ifame’s death as tbehand of Providence work ing against them, and that the beneficial re sults oi the mission may be at an end. T have done ail I could in the matter, and shall con tinue to cultivate aB friendly and intimate re lations as possible with the members of the mission; bnt I have apprehensions that, on accouut of the great success of the mission its direction will fall into foreign hands, anti that European Governments may seek to con trol the policy or the Chinese Government unless wise measures are taken to counteract them. On March 13, Minister Curtin conveyed to the Chinese Embassy, “in accordance with express direction of the President, ” the as surance of the profound regret felt by the American people.for Mr. Burlingame, and re ceived tlie following reply : Chinese Embassy to Mr. Cnrtih. Chi and Sun, Envoys Extraordinary and Ministers Plenipotentiary to His Majesty the Enijicror of'C’fnua, make a eomumnieation in rcidy. AVe have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency’s despatch,con vening to us, hy the'direction of the Presi dent, the expression of profound sympathy and sorrow with which the death of our late colleague, Mr, Burlingame, has inspired the Government and the people of the CJnited States, and also expressing your Excellency's own deep feel. ngs. of-sorrow for the loss we have sustained. AVe receive with due respect the expression of sympathy on the pan Of the President 'of yourt honorable country, and we. personally, lull}’share in your Excellency’s deep feelings ol sorrow. Mr. Burlingame was one oMrfhimfs truest friends. He had established the closest relations of amity between our two countries, and it was his ardent desire and object to unite the nations of Europe in the same bonds of friendship and good will toward China. For this reason we, as well as all onr countrymen, felt for him the sineerest affection. AVe now join with your Excellency in pro found regret for his loss; hut if we can cause lie bonds of friendship with which he has united onr countries to become daily closer and closer, though he himself be dead, his work and Ins faipe will still live. It is this thought which must be our consolation in our present sorrow. AVe are forwarding copies of the despatch under acknowledgment, and of thin our reply, to the Board of Foreign Affairs in Pekin, to be laid before the Eniperor our Sovereign,.. AVe have the honor, in the meantime, to re quest, that your Excellency will have respect l iully couveyed to the President of the "United' States these our thanks for liis gracious ex prvssioirof sympathy and condolence.

' The Madrlgral Concert;. Mr, Pearce’s “Boy-Choir Concert” at Musi cal Fund Hall, on Saturday night, attracted a large audience, and the performance was' re ceiv ed with considerable degree of enthusiasm, The programme was unique. With the ex ception of two violin solos, played exquisitely by Sir. Wenzel Kopta; the duett “Sul la Tom ba, J ’ from the last act of Lucia, sung with much feeling by Mr. and Mrs Kelleher, and a couple of piano-forte pieces, the music was of a kind never heard in a concert-room. The opening piece was a beautiful Easter Carol, w ritten by- Prof. in march' time,'and sung with good effect by the full choir : and this-was followed T>y several madrigals and part songs, some of whioh were tilled with quaint beauty and peculiarly rich and elegant harmony,which found most satisfactory inter pretation and expression in the performance of Prof. Pearco’s singers. Mrs. Kelleherpro-. yoked hearty applause by her rendition of Dr. tAraes’ fairy song, “ Where the Bee Sucks, ” and.in response- to-an encore she Hang the “Last Bose of Summer”' with tendei-est feel ing. She'also undertook the soprano sold iii Sir Henry Bishop’s spirited “Tramp Chorus, ” supported by the boy choir, which dashed - through the splendid music with precision and effect. -Three of the boys also sang Cheru bini’s canon Perfida Vlori gracefully, albeit . with a certain want of feeling, whichis a char acteristic of very young musicians. Their ex actness and the sweetness of their voices, however, induced the audience to demand a repetition. The part songs generally were given with Vgodd effect by the older singers in the choir. If there were occasional deficiencies in the performances of these gentlemen they can be forgiven readily in view of the fact that the singers do not come before the public with any claim to remarkably ability. Thesingular character of the miisic alone made the enter tainment attractive, and we sincerely hope Professor Pearce will be encouraged to under take such concerts frequently. Madrigal music is rarely heard in this country. No wand then a piece is introduced to some theatrical' performance, but conoert singers nearly al ways coniine themselves to operatic selections or modern and familiar ballads. There is a great opportunity for some musician of taste tj present this old-fashioned harmony to the' public; and the chance to choose good music of the kind is large, because people are not at all familiar with it, and the supply is nearly i iiexhausti ble. Some of the most beautit nl mad rigals in existence were written by English edmnosers, with whose very names the public of the present day are unfamiliar. The man who unearths these, and some of the beautiful songs written by sueh men as Dr. Arne, and secures for them a satisfactory performance, will not only engage in a profitable enterprise’ but will deserve the gratitude of every person who knows how much delicious old music there is that has been fairly-forgotten by givers of ooncerts at this day. Prof. Pearce has ac conrplished something in this* direction al ready, and yve liopo lie will persevere in the good work* He announces ,6no other concert, of this kind for the present season, in aid of the Bedford street Mission. The programme will be very attractive, and will contain some very choice selections. It should receive the /generous support of the people, not only for the sake of the Excellent charity, but as an en couragement for Prof. Pearce." At this con- certfMrs. Kelleher will sing “ I know that my Redeemer liveth,” from The Messiah Mr. Thnndor’s Concert. On Friday evening next, at Musical Fund Hall, Mr. Henry G. Thundor, one of the ablest of our resident musicians, will give a Concert, at which he will present Beethoven’s Quin tette (op. ll>) for piano and wind instruments, and Rossini’s Hesse Soiennelle. The mass will be given with a vocal force of. 40 voices, in cluding a number of distinguished amateurs, For the solo parts Mr. Thunder has secured several eminent singers. From the"' character of the director, the performers and the pro- gramme we have reason to believe that this entertainment will be one of the most deligh> "ful .-Tickets may be/proeured at Boner’s 1102' Chestnut street.
