Correspondence of the Daily Morning News.
Nbw Yobk, Sept, Uth, 1830.
Well, I hnvonol only seen, but heard Jenny Lind !
and I can only say, that great as my expectations
were, she exceeded them far, very far, I have heard
PcMa, Grit-i, Sontag and Mnlibrun, and wonderful rs
they were, their singing was not like Jenny’s, And
still, I think Sontag equally good, but there is an in.
descrihublc something about tho other, that charms
every body. She is na simple anil unaffected oh a
child—this is evident in every action,and when sing
ing she appears to be altogether unconscious of the
pleasure she is affording. 1 make no attempt to de
scribe her voice, for it is indescribable—tliero is one
peculiarity however, 1 may mention, and that is the
power ol her soztenuto, as it is technically termed;
anil her dimmuendo—she dwells upon a note and di
minishes the tone, most extraordinarily. The sound
steels mvay gradually, until you cun just distinguish
it; nnd then you fancy that it is gone, but presently
it is heard faintly nguin and then dies uway. Tho ef-
1 feet of this upon the audience, is wonderful—entranc
ing. The <• Casta IHca," the prayer in tile first act of
Norma, sho sings divinely—very different >o any oth
er voculist; but with her it is prayer—inspiration
Th» prize song coutuins only twostuuzas, and 1 think
it will become very popular. Tho air is lively, but
by no means original—it is a great deal like “ My
Heart’s in the Highlands." Jenny makes a cadenza-nt
the commencement of the second verse, as she breaks
into tile uir, which oxseeds anything l lave heard of
tho kind—itsturtied the lew who were present at the
rehearsal, nnd will take the six thousand who will hear
it to-night, by storm, *i bat alone will ensure severa]
encores, or I am much niistnken. Jenny wu6 very
plainly dressed yesterday, in a plaid barege dress, nud
a ii bite muslin visito— slle wore no gloves, and us she
commenced Casta Diva, site continued to clap her
bauds, marking the time lor the orchestra, as though
sho was clear-starching—it was a precisely similar mo-
: tiou.
I Gcuin, the celebrated batter of Broadway, the pur-
| chaser oi the first ticket for Ji nny’s lirst concert in
America, is quite u lion, l’cople stand open-mouthed
j in Iront ot his store all day, seemingly anxious to see
j the man who could pay $825 for a concert ticket. It
[ was decidedly the best investin' lit he could make, rnd
j " ill give him a notoriety he cuulun’t liuvc purchased
| lor live limes the amount. It was a shrewd act, and
proved him to bo a long-headed hatter, lie, howev
I er, has got us much business as lie can attend to, and
l may just say en passant, that his lints, &e., are lirst
rate.
A curious anil somewhat important trial is now be
fore tho U. S. District Court in this city. The suit is
brought by AI. E. Harmony, a native of Spain, to re
cover $100,000 of Col. .Mitchell of the U. S. Army, act
ing under Col. Doniphan, being the value ot some 40
or 50 wagons, mules, &c., which lie took possession of
for the use of the army, during th e war with Mexico
The defence is that they were seized under tho suspi
cion that tho owner was secretly trading with the
enemy. No decision has been given yet, but I sup.
pose that Uncle Sam will have to fork over.
The Asia arrived here to-day at 10 o’clock, so that
she runs the Collin’s line pretty hard—she lias made
the voyago ill less than eleven days, including the
time lost by going to Halifax. Hereafter the Cunar-
ders will give Collin’s a luir race, as they are to run
j direct between Liverpool and New York, except tliose
J bound to Boston.
! ’The America left tn-duy for Liverpool with 50 pas-
sengers; and thgGeorgia leaves ut OP. AL for Cha-
i gres with about 180 passengers, all bound for El
j Dorado.
| The Whig Young Men’s Committee hnd a great fir
ing ot cannon yesterday in honor of the passage of
, -no compromise hill. The' Tribune groans awfully,
because tile Wilraot proviso was not applied to nil
| the new territory. That paper does not say much
j “bout the socialist Banquet cn Monday, which was
a ridiculous failure. They talked in the most sangui
nary manner there, and wi re for creating a gmlln-
t tie right off, to slaughter ull who ore opposed to
their peculiar views. Poor demented crcuiurrs.
I must he brief tn-day, as I shall write to morrow,
nnd endeavor to give your readers some idea of the
! scene at Castle Garden to-night, as I cm foi lunate)}-

Altera lapse ol nearly a fortnight, duringthe
host part of which time we have hern confined by
severe indisposition, we are again enabled to resume
our editorial duties. Our readers, especially those of
them who have had an encounter with tho “ Broken
Bono’’ malady, so prevalent just now, will wc are sure
make all proper allowances for our short comings
for a few days, until we have hail time to regain our
strength and reoruil our energies.
In resuming the labors and responsibilities which
we were for n tijne compelled to relinquish, we tuko
pleasure in acknowledging our obligations to the gen-
tlemun who has sonbly supplied our place ill tho in
terim. The Columns ol the Rocs attest his indus
try taste and judgement.
Ship John Bryant. A ship of 720 tons, nnmed
John llryant, intended for a packet between Savnn
imh and Liverpool, as launched from the ship yard
of Messrs. McGowan Si Turned, in Charlestown,
Mass, on tho 5th iust. We understand that Edwabd
Padelfoiid, Esq ol’ this city, and Alessrs Nathan
iel S.\'ow,utid Ephbai.u HaRdi.no, of Boston, to
gether with Capt. Benj. Dyer, are the owners of
this ship.
The John Bryant will be commanded by Capt
Benz. Dyer, tormerly master of the Ship Eli Hint',
ney, and is expected to he ready for sea by the 81st
Inst. She bears the nuine of a Boston merchant well
known in this city.
The new Ship State Rights, Capt. Warren,
which sailed from this port on the 16th ult. hound to
Liverpool, sprung a leak and put into Now York on
the 11th Inst, to repair. We understand she is but
slightly injured.
£5^ Collins’ two remaining steamers, the Arctic
and Baltic, will soon he ready for sea—the first by
the 15th of October, und the second by the 1st of No
vember.
The Rochester K.nockings. The Rochester
Democrat euys that t ci'c has been a serious mutiny
amongtlie “knocking girls,” and that matters are
nearly ripe for a full disclosure of the grand secret.
’ Father Aluthew was received and entertained
by tho city authorities at Nashville, on his arrival

Rejuvenatinij the Hair. The Washington
Republic says that Gen. Twivgs’ accidental disco
very by which, as our readers will remember, he
found to his amazcmeiit that his honorable gray hairs
were resuming their color of youth, is being applied
by many persons in that city, all oi whom are verify
ing the experience of the gallant General. It is a
bright era, Chi#, in which wo live, and they will fall
greatly iu the rear who do not occasionally burnish
up and rejuvenate themselves.
Tho Socialists of New York had a proces
sion and banquet at Hoboken, on Alonduy ol last
week. Olio ot the speakers suid that society would
never get better till the guillotine was reported to, as
in 171)2 | but the President protested against such
" holesule massacres ot “ people with property.”—
Another speaker did not think much of even Louis
Blum because he dressed decently and received
company in a handsome saloon.

Continued Agitation in Congress.
In the Senate on Wednesday 11th inst. the hill to
abolish slavery in the District of Columbia was taken
up. On Air. Seward’s proposing to withdraw his a-
inpndment abolishing Slavery in the District, to be by
him renewed at another time an excited debate
spring up.
Mr. Clay admitted that Congress has full and coin-
plete power over the subject, but it would be across .
violation of good faith while slavery exists in Alury- an gel (pointing to the door where Jennv hnd just
land and Virginia. passed out) 1 may lie allowed to sink where I really
belong—into utter insignificance. If there bus ever
been u moment when 1 aspired to have the question

Mr. Sewurd argued that the time had come for the
abolition of slavery here ; und if not, when will the
time come?
Mr. Winthrop read a letter from Cnpt. Romiett of

SP A writer iu the Philadelphia Bulletin, who
signs himself Henrico, is in the practice of hatching up
inaresncsts in the shape of news from the Sjutli, to
excite the wonderment ol his more credulous read*
grs. His last startling announcement by telegraph
from Washington, reads ns follows :
Information Inis been received here, by telegraph
from Charleston, stating that the people in that city
lire luriousat the passage ul the Territorial bills
Upon recepl of the news, a public demonstration
was gotti n up. and the flag of the Union was trodden
under foot.
-Meetings have been called in a number of di-triets
of South Carolina, to take action upon the present
state of affairs. Henrico.
We cannot imagine what object the writer can
have in view, unless it is simply to indulge his pro
pensity for marvellous invention. South Carolina
seems to him a perfect- raw-heiW-and-hloody-bonos,
ready to his hand, whenever lie wishes to deal in the'
terrible. Very tew of his readers will be silly enough
to believe the above ridiculous story. This Henrico

the proposed Southern Confederacy, of which Mexico
was to be a member, and the city of Mexico the capi.

Important from Texas.
YVashinton, Sept. 12, OI 1 31
•Mm Secretary of Slate lias just received a tele
graphic dispatch from the collector ut New Orleans
1 lie Legislatei e of Texus lots refused to raise troops
against the United States, and referred the Texas
boundary bill to the people, the •Legislature bavin-
no constitutional rigUt to act on it. This is looked
upon as u virtual acceptance of the terms of the Injun-
dary hill, and a settlement of the vexed question.
. , . New Orleans, Sept. 11.
Late advices have reached here from Texas, bv
which I observe that bills liave passed the Logo lature
Id that State, one of which provides that the ferritin v
question be given to the people, to lie settled by the
popular vole. The other requires fliat the General
Ciov* rnnicut (*bnU remove nil tlu* Inditing from Tiacas.
A lunre nnd highly rec pec table meeting won recent-
ly held at Sun Antonio, at which lesolutions were
passed in Invar of preserving tho Union. They were
.Tcnny Lind’s First Concert.
Tho northern papers contain plowing accounts of
the triumph of Jenna I.ind, whose wor.ilertul tal
ent as mi artiste seems only to be excelled by her lib.
crnlity as h philanthropist. Ilor debut iu New Y’oik
has been unquestionably the greatest triumph ever-
aecoinplithed by any artiste in this, perhaps in
uny country, and if only tho half that is so enthusi
astically written about her is true,the honors she has re
ceived do not exceed her deserts. In addition to what
our correspondent furnishes ns, we give the follow
ing extracts from a long account of her first concert
which we find in the Philadelphia Bulletin. Alter
describing the Immense crowd that had assembled in
the saloon of the Castle Garden, the writer thus de
scribes the advent nf the Nightingale.
At last the moment of breathless expectation arriv
cd. The door in the centre of the stage opened, and
through the file of the musicians, stepped, or rather
bounded, ihe form of Jenny Lind. Then arose such
n tempest of enthusiastic welcome as lias never been
witnessed on this Continent. The thousands rose
like one man. Shout followed shout, hankcrchicfs
were waved all over the inmiensd mass, hundreds of
Immense boquets were hurled upon tho stage, and in
the midst of the iloral heup, the lair songstress was
utmost prostrated in repi ated acknowledgments of the
welcome oi the crowd. This scene of tremendous
excitement lasted fully five minutes.
Jenny Lind looked pale nnd agitnted. She was
dressed in plain white satin, with a short skirt of
white luce over it, a h avy fall of lace around the top
of her dress, white Uowers with green leaves in her
head, a similar orament on her brenst, diamonds at
her buddies, and several brilliant bracelets on her
arms. Her light wavy hair was parted plainly and
brought down over her ears. Her appearance, with
out being handsome, is prepossessing, and when she
smiles her face lights up into almost positive beuuty.
Her complexion is good, her head well set upon her
shoulders, neck and arms well developed, hut not so
as to destroy the spiritual character of her figure,
which, in every respect, is graceful, dignified und
lady like.
Alter the excitement had subsided, and she was
permitted to resume her erect posture, you could see
tier summoning up her resolution, driving down her
agitation, and nerving herself for the task of pleasing
those who evidently expected so much from her.
The orchestra commenced the slow, graceful prelude
to tho Casta Diva, ur.J us it' advanced, sho sto >d un
moved, with her hands folded before her, and scarce
ly seeming to breathe, as she surveyed the ocean of
gazers around her. At last the prelude was done,
and the low breathing of her voice in the moot de
licious of all compositions was heurd, swelling out
gradually until it tilled the hall completely. Every
bar ot the andante wus perlect. Now the voice rose
to the tone of queely majesty befitting the inspired
priestess, and again died uwuy so delicu ely, that it
seemed tho breuthing cf a spirit of another world ;
closing with a prolonged shake, pianissimo, more
seraphic and enchanting, thun anything we have ever
listened to.
The writer then proceeds with the programme of
the entertainment, rapturously discribiug the almost
superhuman power - ol the great cantulrice as dis’
played in the execution of every piece.
The programme concluded with the prize song by
Bayard Taylor, set to music by Benedict TliiB is so
much above the ordinury level of prize compositions,
that I copy it for your readers.
GREETING TO AMERICA
WORDS BY HaYAuD TAYLO —MUSIC BY JULES BEN
EDICT
I greet, with a full heart, the Land of the West,
Whose Ramie, of Stars o.era world is unrolled;
Whose empire o’ershaduws Atlantic's wide breast,
And opus to the sunset its gateway of gold I
The laud of the mountain, the land ot the lake,
And rivers that roll in muguilicenttidc—
Where the suuls of the luiglily from slumber awake
And hallow the soil for whose freedom they died !
Thou Oracle of Empire ! though wide bo the foam
That severs the luini of my fathers and thee,
1 beur, from thy bosom, tin- welcome ol home,
For Song has a home in toe hearts of the F'rce!
And long as thy waters shall gleam in the sun,
And long us thy heroes remomberthoir scars,
Be the hnnds of thy children united as one,
And Fence shed Uer light on the Banner of Stars I
The music ofthis is bold and spirited. Al’Ile Liud's
pronunciation of English is very good* and she stmgit
as if anxious to throw her whole soul into this tribute
to the country tliut lias opened its arms to receive hi r.
At its close another tumult of applause arose, and after
once more appearing before the curtain, and bowing
low and repeatedly ns the bouquets showered around
her, ehe retired, anil the festival was over.
Belore the tumult had subsided the honest face of
Barnum, tile hero of the evening, appeared, glowing
in smiles, nnd amid loud cheers he advanced to the
foot-lights. Shouts of'“Barmim! Barnum! Hurrah for
Barnum!" greeted him, ami it was some time before
sufficient quiet was restored to enable him to speak,
which he did ns follows;
Ladies and gentlemen—I have but one favor to
ask ol you—and that is, that in the presence of that
passed by forever. 1 acknowledge frankly, that alter
such a display ns we have had to night, Barnum is
nowhere. But, my friends, 1 beg to tell you where
Jenny Lind is. I shall not speak ot her musical tul-
ents ; you know wind they are better than I cun tell
you; you have shown by yourungovernablu applause
to-night that you appreciate her incomprehensible
und indescribable vocal abilities, but 1 must announce
a circumstance regarding her wfeich 1 cannot allow
you to leave without knowing—she begged me not
to do it. On ordinary occasions I would obey her
every wish ; but I feel it is due to state the fact 1 al
lude to. Under the contract between Jenny Lind and
myself, she is entitled to one half the net proceeds
ol every copcert given under our ngfeemint. On
this Decision, the expenses being more lor tile first
concert than will usually be the case, her portion of
the profits will be in the neighborhood of $10,000.
I received a message Irotn her this morning, in which
sho declared that she would not receive one penny ol
the proceeds of this concert, but will devote every
fartfiing of it to-m-rrow morning for churituble
purposes. It will be disposed of as follows :
To tho F’ire Department Fund $3,000
Alu.-icul Fund Society 2,OIK)
Dome for the Friendless 500
Society for Relief of Indigent Females..... film
Dramatic Fund Association
Home lor Colored and aged persons
Lying in Asylum for Destitute Families...
New York Orphan Asylum
Protestant Halt Orphan Asylum
Home for Col. red Orphan Asylum
Roman Catholic Half Orphan Asylum....
Old Ludiea' Asylum.
, T'dtd $10,000
III case llie money coming to her shall exceed this
suht, she will hereufier designate the charity to which
it Blittll be nppropriuted.”
The fact cominunicntrd in this fproch hnd born
whi-pered nmoiig a few of tin* audience, hut it whs
not- generally known, nnd when it was publicly an
nounced, ut) pen can picture the scene. Every man
and woman in tho house rose and stood upon their
seutd, “liurruh for Jmny I” ‘‘Hurrah lor JJarnmn ! M
and a coniused Babel of other cries was hoard. 'J hive
cheers ior Jenny Lind were culled tor and give n tiv-
inendoubly. Three more—-and three more—hut J
lost the count, and have hut a confused, indistinct rec
ollection ot u succession of eliouta such n.s 1 never
heard belore.
In the meantime, the modest and gloriouH little he
roine ot the evening had escaped to her carriage, and
Jietore one of the crowd hnd If ft the hall, «he was
halt way up to the New York Hotel. Barnum an-
no 11 need this fact, and then the audience begun to
move slowly out.
Alter the concert was over, the members of the
American Musical Kuna Society, in token of their
gratitude ior M lie. Lind’s liberal donation, were
hastily assembled, and accompanied by DpUswoith's
Band, proceeded to the front ot the New York Hotel
An immense and excited crowd -fathered around them,’
and music and cheers alternately rose upon the air
until at length M’lle, Lind appeared upon the bnlco’
ny, and acknowledged the ovation gracefully, as ,-ho
does everything else. Miss Ahman.-Vv and her secre
tary accompanied her. After an interchange of hiI-
utatiohs, and a renewal ot the cheering. M*l!e I iud
disappeared, und the crowd slowly and reluctantly
retired. Thus ended the greater day ever known in
me)nUlrica! history of thr New World.
