The Chinese at Alexandria.
It will be seen that the Chinese Tumblers are to give a benefit this evening at Alexandria, to their suffering brethren, the Chinese Jugglers, who are in our midst in a destitute condition, and we trust our readers in that city will kindly remember them. To-morrow evening a similar benefit will be given them in Washington, when our citizens will have an opportunity of aiding the distressed strangers, and of beholding their best performances, which are throwing the knife, other feats, and their wonderful tumbling.
