{ r}‘ Our New York correspondent has just re
turned from a trip to the country ; nnd writes us a
ion- account of the reception of Jenny Lind, ex
pressing his supreme disgust at the figure the New
Yorkers cut. We give place to tills letter, to the exclu
sion ot editorial prepared for this morning, as it gives
a view ot the afiair somewhat dilferent from the ac
counts ulready published.
Drowned. An inquest was held yesterduy after
noon by tho coroner, Thos. Eden, Esq., on tho body
of a negro boy, the property of Dr.Tnos. M. 11 itch-
cock, U.S. A., am! in the employ of Amos Scuddeb,
Esq., contractor and builder, lie accidentally fell
from tile wharf; being seen, the place was watched,
and when lie voso to the surface again a pole was ex*
tended to him by a negro man near by ; but being
perhaps confused by bis situation, lie did not take
hold ot it, hut sunk again. The negro Ulan then
plunged in, and utter a search of some ten minutes
recovered the body. Dr. Richabdsone wus immedi
ately called ; but it was too late,—life was extinet.—
Verdict accordingly.
Advertising; in the News.
We have, every day, instances of the habit acquired
by our citizens, ot liqgking at the Pities, whenever
they expect an advertisement; as well as of coming
directly to tho otlice whenever they have lost or
found anything, or have any article to ndvertise for
sale, or hire,—in short, whenever they wish to give-
immediate aud extensive publicity to an ndvertise
raent. Tho last instance of this kind, was that of an
advertisement of a horse strayed or stolen, which was
handed in with instructions to insert:! times. Imme
diately after breakfast, however, the advertiser camo
and ordered it discontinued. His horse, ho said, hud
been brought to him ut 8 o’clock that morning. The
finder had tuk-n him up the night before, and know-
ing that the owner would be out in the News in the
teaming, made himself easy until the moruin *
came. Opening his paper, there he saw the adver
tisement: “Five Dollars Reward I” and immediately
restored the animal to his owner. Here was u re-
w'arc] oi Five Dollars made, and a horse reguined for
Fiity Cents and wo lost the dollar we would liuvo
inude by the two otherineertlons, but for ourlowsub-
sefiption price and extensive circulation.

at Cleveland, has been caught. He surrendered
himself to Mr Way, a hotel keeper, with whom he
was acquainted, nt Wellsville, Vu., remarking that he

Slaves Running Home again.—The Delaware
Gazette states that tho seven slaves who some time
since ran aw ay from Mr. Calvert, of Prince George’s
county, applied at the watch house for lodgings in
that efty, a lew nights since, stating that they had
been to Pennsylvania, were tired of freedom, 'and
were trying to get back to their masters. They stated
that they hnd been decoyed off by a Whiteman whose
name tliey did not know, by specious promises and
delusive hopes, and’hat they much preferred living
with Mr. Calfert as his slaves than to lead the life
tliey did ulter they reached their destination, and do.
sired to bo sent home. The mayor had them lodged
in tho jail nt New Castle, and scut a despatch by tele-
graph to their owner, who had them removed to their
home.

Correspondence of the Daily Morning News.
Nsw-YonK, Sept. 4th, 1850.
The absence from tho city for a few days, has caus
ed a hiatus in my correspondence, which 1 shall
speedily fill up with such matters of interest to your
renders, as may transpire here. 1 find on my return,
nothing thought or talked of but Jenny Lind—it is all
Lind, L>nd, Lind, adnauseum. 1 thought there would
be some excitement on her arrival, but 1 hud no idea
that the people, the enlightened (?) people, of the great
metropolis of America, would have made such apes
of themselves, as will doubtless make them the laugh
ing stock of all Europe. I am told that the scene on
the wliurf on Sunday afternoon, when she landed)
was disgraceful in the extreme. You will see much
of the Lindiana in the newspapers, but none ot them
have given by any means, a graphic account, either of
the reception or if the serenade which took place at
midnight. The arrival of tlie Atlantic was confident
ly expected on Sunduy, and it becume evident that a
large portion of the community were on tip toe for
tbe event; aud a posse of police were detuiled to
protect tlie Nightingale from the kind attentions that
were intended : in tact, Weave her from her friends.
Well, tho news came that the steamer was below, und
before she urrived ut her duck, at the foot of Cunal-st.,
full fifteen thousand persons hud collected in tlie im
mediate neighborhood. 'The company have erected
gates ou tliu dock aud within those, a sort of fiorul
urch had been made, under which Jenny wus to pass;
aud u select few were admitted to get the first glimpse
oflicr. Tlie canaille kept up a eontinuul uproar with
out, and such noises u» tliey made, were never beard.
The confusion ut Babel | pooh, u New York crowd
would oul-Bahel Bubel, or 1 am much mistaken.—
Tho noise continued until a cheer from those inside,
tuld that Jenny hud appeared, aud then arose an “ out
cry wild"—there was one snout loud and strong from
.tlie rear, of “ Go in," and go in they did with a ven
geance. Tlie gates were hurst open with u terrillic
crash, and such a scene ns was presented, I am told
by uu eye witness, beggars description. Those in
front fell with the gates, and the others trampled up
on them without tlie slightest mercy or considera
tion—and a great number were pitched into tlie dock,
and very muuy were injured, ns well by being trod
upon, us by the police-men's stuves, which were free
ly used; und ufier some difficulty, un avenue wus
tormed sufficiently wide to ullow Jenny’s carriage to
pass through. The carriage und horses, two fine spir
ited animals, belonged to Mr Barman, and as soon
as she entered it, Mr. C. W. Clarke, the munnger of
the Museum Theatre, presented her with two beauti
ful boquets, and I am told that®) utterly unconscious
was she, of wliat she wus doiug, that she seized
Clarke's two wrist’s violently and kissed the boquets
frunctically.
Well, tlie carriage passed off tlie pier, but here it
met with a barrier of humans, that could not be over
come, nnd a turn was made to tbe left, so us to pass
round into a by street, and again emerge upon tlie
principal thoroughfure. This was partiully aeeom-
plii-lied, nnd although u great crowd followed, no fur
ther obstruction was encountered, until the crowd
behind and the crowd before, met, and completely,
surrounded tlie vehicle. Then was shown a disposi
tion to take the horses out and draw the carriage
themselves. Jenny looked out nnd bowed, and smiled)
and kissed her bund, and placed it on her heurt, but
it was all ol no use, nnd she evidently became some
what terrified; so the conchuiun at lengtli losing his
patience gave the crowd u touch of the whip, making
them fall buck, and touching his horses at the same
time on the right spot, they reared about to a per
pendicular, and giving a plunge darted through the
mass and escaped, and arrived at tlie hotel, which, by
the aid of the police, she was enabled to enter, after a
delay at the duur of about half an hour I
This is a true account. I assure you, without the
gloss the papers have put ou ; and disgusting en
ough it is in all conscience; for, after nil, wliat is Jenny
Lindt—a dolighu'nl vocalist—a dutiful daughter—an
umiubl'), virtuous and gencruua Woman. These are
great qualities, certainly, and should excite admira
tion; but there should be reason in all things. But
this woman worship is as disgraceful to the worship,
pars us it must be disgusting to Miss Lind; who, it is
said, possesses u goodly sbure of common sense. Tile
scene at the serenade was as contemptible almost as
tho other, nnd I must say that the compliment was
very ill-timed. After a voyage across the Atlantic, and
after ull the excitement of the duy, to keep the wo-
man from her bed until two or three o’clock in the
morning, was shocking—positively shocking I The
musicians had u grand blowout, I hear, alterthe mu
sic and the eoremonies, and many cursed the Jenny'
Lind head-ache next morning, I dare say. Baruuin
has engaged Castle Garden, nnd Jenny appears on
Wednesday night next. Price of tickets three dollars
each, but tlie places to be disposed of at auction. The
most extravagant prices ure offered by speculators.

Since our Report of ITtfc inst. there has hem
good enquiry for SUGAR, and prices have beton*
still more still, as plunters in geueralare unwilling J
part witn the small stocks they yet hold untaiq
higher rutes. They feel encouraged in their prttc-
siona by the more favorable news from Europe, ajL
the greater facilities for slopping to the UnimI
Htatea, in consequence ot their being more vesal
available for that purpose. In the transactions th
have occurred the lower classes of Sugar have bets I
most sought alter, and are proportionately higher-

We hnd u strong gale on the night of the 91st,».
most approaching a hurricane. The damage nm^l
the shipping was inconsiderablca, but great deaiq
injury was sustained in the country, by the destrul
tion ot corn-fields aud plainfain trees, which are^l
portant in connection with the food of the laboural
on the estates. The Cofleu plants have also sufei
ed to a considerable extent, and what is still more»|
nous, the Hugur-cane has likewise been injured. ^1

tunned, the effects of the storm on the growiiigcrj
may be severe, unless a prupitioua state oftbeatusj
phere during tho ensuing months, should enable c4
cane to recover from the injury sustained. Til
gale extended to the Houtk side, as far as 8t Ja^otl
