He owned an estate in Burgundy, a bouse tn Paris, and other proper'y hs never heard of before. The widow had property abroad — estates in Wales, and pastures in Devonshire.

Her youag audience listened to her very at tentively, but eviuced mere curiosity to see than gratification at hearing the eiuger, aad ■his portion of the concert, therefore, pasted off rather coldly. It was thea announced that rhe girls would leave the theatre iu order to afford the boys, who were still in the street, an opporttiniy of hearing Jenny sing. This, after some delay and confusion, was tffecled, tl e parquette being again filled with girfo, whilst the upper parte of the house were anon occupied by the boys who thronged rapidly in With the advent of the boys and the enthu siaskj and delight which they so warmly mau ifus'ed the scene ivon became changed. Miss Lind, evidently participating in the feelings which appeared to animate her auditory, gave herself up to tbe occasion and appeared to en ter into the enjoyment of it with her whole heart. Signor Behetti sang a fine buffalo air in hiri usual felicitous style, to the manifest gratification of tbe boye, after which Miss Lind eame forward, and sang with the most touching expression and deep feeling the solo from Handel’s Messiah—*l know rny redeem er liveth.” The gifted singer gave this sacred air iu a style which would set at nwght al! comparisons and descr.ptione, and ita effect was visible iu the almost awe-«iruck silence of the young creatures who crowded the theatre, a* w.-ll as in the boia erous aedannlions of pleasure which arose at its dose. Miss Lind then again sung the Flu’s Frio, to the evi dent delight and gratification of her au dienae After seme further music from the orchestra it was announced tbat at tbe request es Min Lind the children would sing some of their songs, or aaehe expressed it—“now that sbe had sung for them thev should for her.” iiao sung iur tueiu tney snnuto Mg for nor. They then sang under the direction of Mr. E.

At the close of the singing by the ehildron, it was anoounaed tbat Miss Lind would sing one more s#»Hg with them Th a waa renewed with renewed acclamations, and by cries of the ‘Bird seng’ and for Home, aweet Home.’ Jnu ny hereelf then came forward, aid addroesing the boy* said—“l will sing you one more song, wha’ *hall it be, the Bird song, or Home ?” B it the yuung connoiaeaurs were divided in opinion—some calling for one, and seme for (he other. Jenny laughed heartily at ibis, and then agaio addressing them, said, “I will sing them both for you.** She then sang, accom panted by Signor Benedict on the piano, first Home Home aad then the Bird Song; the oho with a awootnete and pathos that was never eqn riled, and the ether with that joy ous light hearted carol which seems to have rMuderod 'hat beautiful gem entirely ber own. When she had concluded,»he gracefully waved an adieu to her yoang friends, and retired amidst their loud and enthusiastic plaudits. The whole occasion was one of the happiest kind to all who were present, aud must * have raised Miss Lind in the admiration and respect of all. by the admirable womanlike feelings which she exhioited in exerting herself more to please tbe children who were gathered around her , than oho would have done nt the b’dding of the enthusiastic and fashiona ble audience. For ourselves, we no longer wonder at the existence of the Lind minia, and can hereafter look with a forgiving eye on the greatest extravagances to which the presence of Jenny Lind may give rise. The As-triam Discoveries —The antiqui ties at Nineveh are placed, by late accottuto, at a more modern epoch than that fixed by Mr Ltyard. Maj Rawlinson thinks they do not a-cend beyond twelve or thirteen hundred years before t: e Christian era, because, in the earliest inscriptions on the walls, references are made to Tyre. Sidon and o’her cities, which wero not founded snore than fifteen r niuries before Christ. Ha ano eeoeiders Egypt and not Assyria, as the erad.e of human civilization It cannot be doubted that the Assyrian monuments partake largely of the Exvpiisn type. It is suggested that both Assyria and Egypt, as at present known to ue, are die chi'dren of an earlier civilisation, every ves ige of which has disappeared ex cept wh»»l we see in its progeny The points of resemblance beMveeu the Euphrates and Nileuc monumentefavor this hypothesis, rather than the ordinary idea ; tne one io but a copy from tbe other.

Tne poor, unfortunate being who was thus deprived of his sight, and compelled to grope hi* way in darkness through the remainder of ' his life, has been a charge on Wayne for fif teen years; and the arrest of Clark after the . lapse of so long a period, is evidence that jus tice, a ihough slow, is almost always certain to overtake the wicked in their career. The law in force at the time of the commis r sion of the deed provides no adequate penal ’ ty for a crime ot such magnitude.

Early one morning a • eanty funeral trbia visited the yard, a hasty burial service waa prsneuoced oVcr a plain coffin, the earth was speedily covered over lb. remains enclosed therein, and tbe few mourn er, departed—ell aavo one. That was a girl about thirteen your, ofgige, whe, casting her self upon the ground, could only sob ‘my mother’ until completely extiatisMd by the vio lence es her grief. She recovered after a while s ,4 disappeared, and the next morning aye was at the spot planting flowers there Early every morning fer two years afterwards, that girl paid a visit te ber parent's grave. In the season of flowers that mound blaoroed like a garden and in the winter the appearance was refreshed by several valaable little evergreens, and it was religiously kept cleared of all un sighily incumbrances. One morning last week chance led an to tbe graveyard,and the first object that met our eyes waa tne girl now a blooming mar riageable maiden, kneelinr over ber mother’s final resting place and plonking away tbe weed, troth amen- the peutonias, ziuftina, etc , which beautify if. We are told by these who know that rain or shine, cold o- warm, that girl has never failed cnee to make her daily pilgrimage to that sac-od shrine since tbe morning of the t aria'. Happy parent, even in death, te have given birth to sued offspring Wo hazard nothing in saying tbat the girl is a jewel staoag her sex, and that the muu fortunate enough to wed her, will procure a tris no man, than which the earth containe nothing sßperior.

Mysterious Rapplugs. Wx learn from the letter of a private cor respondent, says the Washington Republic that, the “ inysterioas rappings ” are again excit ing ue little attention among the citizens of Beaton and Providence. Tn a letter wae net intended for publication, but, as it emu from a coarse on which we can rely, and tenches some matters of eurions speculation, wo take the liberty of presenting a portion of it to our readers. “ I have nothing now to toll yea touebing the rapping.; lam as miieh in the dark as over aa to the mode es their production. Stands are made, and furniture is made to move, and electric .enactions comainniccted. This I hove heard, com, aud felt; aud I do net believe the mao.festaUonc a-e Ihe result as collusion or triak.

When 1 saw the table moved, it moved the length of ay band, so that niy hand, which was rett ing on it, fell. This was repeated several times.

This is a tribute duo to tbo pow er and resources of those thirty-vae soiled Blates. Iu a just cause we may defy tbe world in arms, We have lately presented a spectacle which has astesished oven the great est eapuin es the ago. At the call as their couutry, an irresistible heat of armed men, and men toe skilled ia the nae as arms, sprang so like the soldiers of Cadnsus, from the lUUßKtaioa aud valleys of our great confedera cy. The struggle ameeg them was net who should remain at home, but who should enjoy the privilege es braving tbe dangers and pri vauens ofa foreign war ia defense of the country’s righ s. Heaven furbid that the qu-e tion o> slavery should over prove te be the stoss thrown into the r midst by Cadmes to taxke them turn their arms against each other and perish in mutual conflict! Whilst ear power as a united peopleeesßres as against the injueueo and assaults es foreign enemies, what bus been oar condition at homo! Here every citizen stands eroat ia the proud proportions bestowed upon him by hir’Msker. and feels himself equal te his fellow man. Ho is pruieeied by a government of just laws in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property ; ho aits down under his owe vino and his own tig tree, and (here ia nona te mahe him afraid. A vast confederacy composed es thirty eno sovereign and independent States is epan be fore him. in winch hefeols himself to bo every where at home, and may any whore throughout i's'extended limits seek his own prosperity and happiness in his own way. The meet perfect freedom es intercourse prevails among all ihe Slates. Here the blessings of free trade have been realized under the constitution es the United State, aud, by tbe consent of all, tea greeter extent than the world has over witnessed. Our domestic tonnage and capital employed in this trade exceed, beyond all comparison that employed in our trade with all the rest es lie world. The mariner of Maine, after bra ving tbe dangers of the passage around Cepe Horn, finds himself at homo iu his own couu iry, when eutering tne distant port of S a Francisco, on the ether side of the world. Heaven seems te have bound these States together by adamantine bnude es powerful interest.

Or each of these petals I shall offer a few observations. Tnose are greatly mistakes whs suppose that the tempest whieh is new ragtag in the South has oeen raised by thn acts er omissisns of the presor t Congress. The minds es the southern people hive been gradually prepared for this explusi n by the events es the last fifteen years Much and devotedly as they love tbs Union, many of th-m are now taught to believe that the peace of their own firesides and the security es their families cannot be preserved v ithout separation from us.. Ibo crusade of the abolitionists against their do mestic peace and security, commenced ia 1835 General Jackson in his annual tstv sage to Congress in December of that year, speaks of it in the following emphr.tic lan guage : “ I must also inTite J°’ Jr ■ 1 “ n ”? n to the painful excitement produced in the South by attempts to circulate through the mails inflammatory appeals, addressed to the passions of slaves, in prints and vmmm sorts es publications, calculated to stimulate them to insurrection, and produce all ilia honors of a servile war.’’ From that period all the agitation in the North against southern slavery has been incessant, by means of the press, of Slate Legislatures, State and county conventions, abolition lee tures, and every other method which fanatics and demagogues coaid devise The time of Congress has been wasted in violent ba raogues on the subject of slavery, l»ta~- tory appeals have been sent forth from this central point through he country, the inevi table effect of which, has been in create geo graphical parties, so much dreaded by the Fa ttier of bis Country, and to estrange the nor thern and southern divisions of the Union from each other , Before the Wilmot Proviso was interposed, the aboli ion ol slavery in the District ol Columbia had been the chief meme of agita tion. Pe itions for this purpose, by thou sands, from men, women, and children poured into Congress, session alter session. The rights and me wishes ol the owners of elavw within the District were boldly disregarded. e Slave y was denounced as a national sin and ’ a national disgrace, which the laws of 1 and the laws of man ought to abolish, cost what it might.
