Jenny Lind, by her I fire, carried the lagging orchestra, which had taken the allegro too slow, to a quicker tempo, and the public, by her acting and singing, to the highest pitch Jenny Lind was at once engaged as prima donna. Yet , ef enthusiasm. 1 while singing opera after opera—and the public would , listen to ne other vocalist—Jenny Lind and her master struggling hard to conquer the inflexibility of ,er voice. Who, while listening enraptured te t her now pearly fiori tune would believe that at that period she could scarcely, with the greatest exertions, achieve the slightest cadence. Her notes, though pure and full, were with out elasticity, and failed altogether in the power of the crescendo ; she was not to be intimidated, but exercised her roice with the patience of the sculptor shaping his marble. Whilst thus persevering in such arduous prac tice, she interpreted, during eie,hteen months, Euryanthe, Alice; the Vestal, parts requiring exertions which were most violent for her youth. Still, the applause kith which she was rewarded made but a deeper impression on her mind that she was not yet worthy of it ; that her master had done for her every thing in his power, but that the study of great examples and the finishing hand were required to conduct her to that elevation in art which she had ambitioned. Garcia was known to be the first vocal teacher in Europe ; the wish of visiting him in Paris ripened to resolution. Bat how to accom plish it ? Where were the means upon which to exist while giving up her engagement and passing one or two years in Paris ? She had been accustomed to live in the first circles of society, beloved and honoured by all who knew her. With ',the true pride of genius she shrunk from seeking assistance, and was resolved to trust to her own strength alone. Dur ing the vacation of the theatre she travelled with her father through the whole of Sweden and Norway, giving concerti at every town, everywhere creating a sensa tion ; and she returned to Stockholm with abundant means to carry out her resolution. Declaring her inten tion to the directors of the theatre, and vindicating her act by unanswerable reasons, the courageous maiden obtained the wished-for leave of absence. Her parents attempted not to dissusde her—they knew their child ; firm. decided, silent, and earnest, she followed up her resolutions steadfastly. Her parents knew her purity of mind, the futility of temptation, and so they left her to her fate. Occupied in their avocations, they could not afford to accompany her during this long absence ; ind so the girl of eighteen, alone, protected only by her firmness, her innocence, and her sacred love for art. journeyed to that capital which had already produced so much greatness, and destroyed so much of the noble and virtuous. Arrived in Paris, her first visit was to Garcia, to whom she had been provided with introductory lett, rs. It was with the most intense anxiety she crossed his thresh hold. She stood now before the master on w h ose deci sion she had built her whole futurity. Garcia received her kindly. She sang—he listened to her without signs of approbation or disapprobation—and when she had concluded, he said calmly, " My dear child, 1 ou hate no voice --3 " dreadful word for Jenny. "Or," added he, correcting himself, " you have had a voice, and are just going to lose it. Probably you have been singing too much or too early, fur your organ is worn and rugged. I cannot give you any instruction at present. Do net ' sing a note for three months, and then give me another call." Such was the comfortless answer of the man upon whom rested all her hopes. Three months were spent by Jenny Lind in profound solitude ; in that entire loneliness one only learns to feel rightly in such large capitals. " I was living on my tears and the agony of the mal de pays," she said once, speaking of her Pazisian residence. Nevertheless, nothing could ! induce her to return without procuring from Garcia another trial. After the lapse of the stipulated time, Garcia found that her voice had improved, and that her instructions might commence At this time Garcia was teaching a countrywoman of Lind's, Madlle, Nissen, who possessed a very powerful, full toned voice, but no mental abilities. Jenny Lind confes,es that it often brought her to despair to hear Garcia h. - id up that lady to her as an example, whilst she felt that she under stood more, and was pursuing loftier aims than would ever be attained by her fellow- student. Garcia was wont to say, " If Jenny Lind bad the voice of Nissen. or the latter Jenny's in tetligence, one of them would become the greatest singer in Etirope." Although Jenny used to compose the cadenza and fiorituri to the airs she was studying, and Garcia so much approved of them as to copy them, he could never believe that she would ever rise above me diosrity ; and she often observes that, next to herself, nobody would be more astonished about her successes than her old master, Garcia.. In the following year a Swedish composer was sent to Paris, in order to summon her home, she being painfully missed both by the public and management at Stockholm. Through this gentleman she became acquainted with the celebrated Mayerbeer, and his well-practised eye soon recognised the pearl under the modest and unpretending shell. His single doubt was, whether the peculiar charm of the flute-like purity of her delicate voice would sufficiently tell in a large space. He Therefore arranged a rehearsal, with full orchestra, in the salon of the Grand Opera, and Jenny Lind sang the three great scenes from Robert le. Diable, Norma, and the Freischuts, with such effect that Meyerbeer made her at once offers for Berlin. Her love of home, however, and the word she had pledged drew her back to Stockholm. Received with enthusiasm in her native town, the young girl gave proofs of her successful studies during her absence; she proved an excellent actress, a perfect mistress of delivery, and the possession of an organ which seemed when most exerted more pure and beautiful. As she had formerly been the favourite at Stockholm, she was now its pride— all participated in her triumphs. The subsequent spring brought Meyerbeer's invitation to assist at the opening of the Opera. It was with grief Jenny thought of again leaving her native place, but she was urged to obey the call of the great master. As deep as her loss was felt in Stockhohn, it was nevertheless, generally acknowledged that Jenny Lind had to obtain a European reputa tion. and that it would be cruel to interrupt her in her glorious career. The invitation was accepted. In Au gust, 1844, she went to Dresden, where Meyerbeer was then writing an opera, in order to a rr i ve a t a b e tt er MEMOIRS OF JENNY LIND. understanding with the master, and to acquire the Ger- ' (From a work ,jie.t published by 011ivier, 58, Pall-mall.) man language.

Among the many magnificent works i ntroduced “.,kier the direction of Mr. Charles Heath, . one more truly poetical, more majestic and fascinating its character, more calculated to exercise an ennobling influence over the imaginations and the hearts of the people, has not yet appeared than this periodical pub lication of the Illustrated N ew Testament. The theme itself is too sublime to be treated with the ordinary bearing of criticism. And sublime as is the subject it is treated with a correspondent reverence by the pencil of the eminent artist employed upon the em bellishments. The various parables are ill us t rate d with a grace and delicacy beyond all praise, and the various incidents preli m i nary to t h e G reat Atonement are indicated with an energy that sometimes rises into awfulness . :—The w a lki ng upon the sea, the raising the virgin to life, th e praying apart in the mountain, the close of the transfiguration, the dies irce foretold in the twenty-fourth chapter of the first evangelist, and the consummation of all things by the appearance of the Redeemer surrounded by the pomp of his angels.

Tnis little engraving will be a dainty (Aka of con templation. " Mariana," again, the Mariana of iliearure lilea.vure, is depicted with singular grace. Looking at the expression imparted to her counte nance one can unriddle that chiming sentence of her's— " I cry you mercy, Sir; and well could wish You had not found me here so musical : Let me excuse rae, and believe me so,— My mirth it much dispittas'd, but pleased my woe." There is literally that saddened merriment in her eyes which the poet would infallibly have indicated, had he been a painter. The portrait of " Queen Katherine," we are anything but satisfied with : ht , r face has not that passionless purity about it which is inseparable from the notion of that discarded matron. These portraitures continue, however, to display the fruii fulness of the imaginations of the artists engaged upon their delineation.

FRIDAY EVENING. TIMES.—A fu ther Russian annom: cement has to-day caused excitement i n th e Ci ty , an d a r i se of 1 per cent. in the funds. Accordi ng t o an u k ase, a trans ration of whick, will be found i n an ot h er co l umn, 30 , 000 , 000 of a liver rouble out of 114,000.000 w hi c h h ave accumu l ate d as the basis q,f the Russian paper ci - cu!ation, are allotted for " the gradual purchase of public securities, Ru-siau and foreign." Of this snouut, which may be roughly stated at 4,750,000/. sterling, about 2,000,000/. has already been employed in the recent ar rangement with the Bank of France; about 750,0004 is sup- posed to be destined for the Dutch and other continental markets, where, indeed, it has probably already been in vested ; and, as it is not supposed that anything beyond the accumuating interest will be appropriated to the purchase of Russian stock, the remaining 2,000,000 i., it is assumed, will be laid out in the English funds. Anticipations of some develop ment of this kind have been entertained, more or less, ever since tne affair with the Bank of France, and hence while it has for some time produced the advantage of lessening the amount of gambling, by deterring men from mere speculative sales, it has now beau followed only by a moderate rise of prices. Doubts are also entertained whether the arrangements fur such purchases as may have been determined upon have not already been concluded, since it seems highly improbable that the notice would be allowed to produce its effect di r-ctly in the face of the intended operation. The bearings of the measure we,have already pointed out, in alluding to that portion of it which has already been completed in France. That it will afford present relief cannot be ques tioned; but it must be remembered that the terms upon which this relief is obtained (supposing a purchase of English stock to the value of 2,000,0001.) consist of an.annual pay ment to Russia of about 70,000/., with the certainty that, if ever this payment be extinguised, it will only be by baying the stock back at a greatly advanced price, or by paying it of at the rate of 100/. for every 88/. now received. Severna as this is, however, it might be looked upon without dismay if it were accompanied by the certainty, or even by the pro bability, that henceforth the proceedings by which it has been necessitated will be arrested, and that, having paid this forfeit for our past improvidence, we shall now pursue a wiser course. Unfortunately, however, this is not the case, since there are no signs but that it will at once give a new impetus to the reckless expenditure out of which it has had its origin. Consols opened this morning at 864 tot for money and 86i to 4 for the account, and upon the Russian ukase becoming known a sudden demand for all descriptions of stock took place, causing an advance of more than 1 per cent., the quotations reaching 874 for money and 87i for time. Throughout the day a severe pressure for money was main tained (6 per cent. being currently paid on Government securities). and this produced a reaction, during which Consols were quoted 874 for money. Before the close of business, however, purchases once more gave firmness to the market, and the last prices were 87i to 4 for money, and 874 for the account. BANK RETURNS. POST.—The English securities have to-day been done at materially better prices. We mentioned several days ago that the metallic resources of the Bank of England were , likely to be recruited by the receipt of a supply ot gold from Russia, a country which has of late years been greatly ad vancing in its mining operations, and which has that metal, therefore, in considerable abundance. It transpired this morning that intelligence had been received from St. Peters ' burgh announcing that the Emperor Nicholas had, by a ukase, dated the 12th instant, determined to invest in the Russian and foreign funds 30,000,000 of silver roubles it specie, a sum equal to about 4,600,000/. sterling. Consols, which had opened at 86% for account, advanced, upor :be strength of this information, to 87%, the announce ment in question being coupled with the intima tion that it was expected the greater portion o the sum named would be invested in the Englisk funds, and that the investment was intended to be one of a permanent nature. On inquiry, we find that in this arrangement the operation lately effected with the Bank ey France is supposed to have been included, and that some large purchases on Russian account have been made of con tinental securitius, so that the amount of stock that may be secured in the funds of this country will perhaps be much less than has been anticipated. We consider, indeed, that the object of the ukase has already been pretty fully accom plished. The supposition that such must have have been the; case is strengthened by the knowledge that Messrs. Baring and C , .. have of late been drawing largely on the norther', cities, and it is taken for granted that it is through the me. lium of that eminent house the portion of the business. whatever it may be, appertaining to this country, has been or will be conducted. It has been said for some time past that, since the failure of the house of Harman and Co., the former agents of the Russian Government, an account had been opened with the Bank of England. and what business is now done on Russian account is, no doubt, to a certain ex. tent, with a view to the convenience of the institution. A deputation of gentlemen from Liverpool and Manchester :ad yesterday, as we learn, an interview with Lord Join, Russell, on the subject of the excessive scarcity of money. It is understood as the result, that Government, through the /lark of England, undertake to do all they can for the relict of the manufacturing and trading interests generally duri4 :be prevailing pressure, and that the deputation returnee :44 night more satisfied. The exchanges on the continent& :ides ~ e ie much better to-day. The next accounts fruit the United States are expected to advise a sensible advance in the rate at New York on England. It will, in the opinio:, of the merchants, probably be from 5 to 6 per cent. premium. Orders may also be reasonably looked for, because, includint• what has been carried out by the numerous emigrants pro ceeding to America, the remittances to that country cannot :nave been to the extent of less than nine millions sterling. An advance in the prices of European goods must be the natural consequence, and there can, it is argued, be little question that there must be a corresponding demand for Eng :ish goods. Much is calculated upon in this respect. There was to-day a meeting of commercial men of the Hall of Commerce, the object ot which was understood to be an appeal to Parliament, calling for a mitigation of the pro visions of the present banking law. The point that wilt be chiefly contended for is propably an extension of the limi tation ot the Bank of England to an issue of notes from tin amount of 14,000,000/. to something like 18,000,0001., a sum held to be more compatible with the large commercial in terests at stake. The meeting was attended by Messrs. Bar clay Brothers and Co., Messrs. Durant and Co., Messrs. Gregson and Co., Sir George Larpent, Bart., Messrs. Lyali Brothers and Co., Messrs. Palmer, Mackillop, a nd C o ., Messrs. Sanderson, Fry, and Co., and others, some of whom were for proceeding at once with a memorial to Parliament, complaining of the oppressive nature of the new law of Sir Robert Peel, as exemplified by the extravagant rate of dis counts now demanded by the bankers, but Messrs. Palmer and Co., Messrs. Sanderson, Fry, and Co., and several more were disposed to await the result of the resumed discussion expected to come on this evening in the House of Commons, as having a strong bearing on the matter. We hear that there is no extraordinary pressure for money among such of our merchants as are engaged in purely legitimate commercial pursuits, and this is certainly a satis factory feature. It is the belief of some of the most intelli gent men we meet with that the scarcity of discount arise, more from the constant calls making by railway companies than from the partial withdrawal of bullion from the bank of England; for although large amounts will be sent to the United States by the next two or three steamer% there wilt still be a large residue remaining to serve for domestic pur poses, until the time shall come when our importations will b.. paid for by the exportation of manufactured and other goods.

It wss communicatt-d to that assembly on the 23d by the Marshal Prince ue Suites. It is as follows ; '' We, Frederick William, King by the grace of God, our gracious salutation to our S:ates, unitei for the first time in a general Diet. We have heard with satisfaction the expression of the gratitude and of the confidence which our faithful States have set forth in the address et the 20th. and we have seen with still greater satisf,ction that they have recognised it to be their task to labour to bring about a future rich in blessings for our country, by means of our intimate accord between the Crown: and the States, an accord based on the respeet for rights. In that we also recognise their noble mission. If our faithful States have believed it right to insert in the address reset ves preserving their rights, because many of their members think that there exists, as regards the representation of the country, a want of accord between the ancient l aws an , f t h e new ones — we will not regard these reserves as an ex pression of distrust towards our Royal determination to save and prat, ct all acquired rights. Never ' ttieless, the truth and sincere accord between tr our, States, and our people —truth and accord that we hope never to see troubled —require us to re ply in a clear and precise manner to this passage of the address. In promulgating, of our free will and by our Royal power, the letters-patent aad ordinances of the 3d of February, we hive not only fulfilled in the manner which appeared to us the best, and, in con science, the promises which his Majesty our late father had made with respect to a representative but we have also given to our faithful States essential rights exceeding those promises. In so far as the pro mises needed an interpretation, we gave it in the sense that we believed alone compatible with the institutions and welfare of the country; and therefore we cannot re• cognise in the United Diet, created by our ordinance of Feb. 3, any other rights than such as were attributed to it by those laws, or which may hereafter be attributed by us in the way prescribed by the . Constitution. Our faithful States may count on our firmest protec tion in the exercise of these rights. But we have th e entire confidence that they will only on their part act within the circle of these rights, and will fulfil the du ties which correspond thereto. The laws of the 3d February ought to be free . from all attempts on your part as to their principal dispositions. But, notwith standing, we do not consider them as immutable ; we believe, on the contrary, that they. contain the germ of an ulterior organization. Is is on that a c .. count that we have ourselves opened th e way to ou r faithful States, in order that they may pre sent to us their petitions on this subject. W e w i ll carefully examine the petitions which rea c h us, and we will comply with their prayers as far as we may believe compatible with the inalienable rights of the Crown and the welfare of the country. On this constitutional ground all doubts which m a y ex i st as to the sense of this legislation may be rem ove d. As, othe ttee the one hand, it is to be feared that the moti ons and the wishes to which we refer, eman a ti ng f rom the Diet un ited for the first time, may not b e b ase d on experience of the Diet, pursuant to the twelfth c l ause of sufficiently ripe, and, on the other h an d , as the co-opera tionl first ordinance of the 3d Feb., is necessary to attain object indicated above, we willingly g i ve to ou r faithful States the assurance that we will unite them a • ga h m around m u s, within a period of fo ur years from the e pre sent time, as foreseen by the secon d clause of ordinance of the patent s o f 3d February relative the se con d periodical convocation ;a n d w ill do that,y relative to the even if none of the motives commanded by the law that the fruits of a better ' shall exist, in ord er experience shall not remain without profit. Moreover, we will diqiosed in grace towards our faith remain affectionately Berlin the 22d April. faithful States. Given at " FREDERICK WILLIAM." The disturbances in Berlin had entirely cea•ed on the 24th, but strong detachments of troops occupied all the market-places, and numerous patrols of cavalry paraded the streets.

The Lord Chancellor at in the Court atilVesuninster tu day. IN THE MATTER OP DYNELY, • MUM Mr. ROMILLY applied this morning, at the sitting of the Court, for the confirment of the Master's report in this lu• nacy, reporting that it would be for the benefit of the estate of the lunatic that the committee should have liberty to op' pose a Bill in Parliament, introduced on behalf of the .Leep and Thi sk Railway Company. From the statements of qr .. Learned Gentleman, it appeared that the lunatic bad LI! fee simple of certain property situated et Branbroeht art Leeds; that upon that property there were most valtieg; springs of water, which would be taken away fro lunatic's lunatic's estate if the Bill introduced into 'c o o ment by the Leeds and Think Railiraf ▪ J pany was allowed to pass without giving hie, w r K i any compensation. In a former session of Parliameeltpe the introduction of a Bill enabling the Leeds and T Railway to run a tunnel through the lunatic's propertigi" clause authorising the comp a ny to take the water and afu: on the estate, in order to supply the town of Leeds water was struck out, but th e Bill now introduced into r t r is i liament was to enable them to do so. Upon an ePPli ca e t he which had been made t o th e Cou r t for leave to opp os e Bill, kis Lordship directed a reference to the Master, to to quire and report a s to w h e th er it wou ld be for the beMtit the lunatic and his es t a t e t o o pp ose the Bill, and the having reported in the affirmative, the object of the P'`" ▪ .. application was for the confirment of that report.
