One traveller has described, in two volumes, a " Journey Round the World," another has filled one volume with a " Journey Round a Room," and the latter would doubtless be the more interesting. The reason is simple; in the one case the author only glances at the surface, in the other he observes and examines every object. Now, every one can glance over the sur face, but very few can observe and examine for themselves. For a traveller, and more especially for a writer of travels, there are few things more essen tial than the faculty of observation. This is what distinguishes the fool from the philosopher (among travellers) ; the one, according to the adage, "goes to Rome," and returns as wise as he set forth ; the other cannot move a step without finding matter for interest and investigation and instruction. But be tween these two extremes are a vast number of per sons capable of appreciating much of what is beauti ful, or marvellous, or humorous in what surrounds them, but incapable of discovering those attractive qualities for themselves. For instance, hundreds of people might read these volumes of Colonel Max well's with much pleasure and much interest, who would have passed through the very same scenes and met with the very same adventures which he de scribes, without having in consequence experienced a single kindly emotion or pleasant thought. A great deal of amusement is lost to most persons by an inattention to trifles ; and " trifles," be it remem bered, " make the sum of human things." Figu ratively speaking, it may be a bad practice to " make mountains of mole-hills ;" but, literally speaking, such a practice would be far from uninteresting—a mole-hill, on close inspection, is snore wonder ful than a mountain. However people will not find this out for themselves. Thoughts and feelings pass through their minds and hearts, but they disre gard them, they are but " airy nothings" until the poet's voice has given them a " local habitation and a name," when the dullest can comprehend and the coldest respond to them. As the poet is to the world of imagination so is the keen observer to the world of sense—wonders are around us, but we heed them not ; we pass on one way, till he arrests us, till he points them out, till he bids us find " sermons in stones," and shows us "good in everything." Such a suggestive spirit is what we especially desire to find in a work like the one now before us, and, to a certain extent, it is to be found here. Short as is the journey of which the author here relates, and, unimportant as were the adventures which befel him, there is no lack of amusement or interest in his nar rative—the surrounding landscape, a fishing excur sion, a casual rencontre, a historical souvenir or poetical association, or some tale or legend connected with the neighbourhood, each in its turn gives rise to some sober reflection, some lively remarks, or some interesting episode. But let us only enumerate some of the topics touched on in these "sketches." First, there is the voyage from London to Berwick, in which our author favours us with a few remarks on travel ling companions in general. " Snobs" are his pe culiar aversion—the town snob in particular. "In rural delinquencies," he says, " they being chiefly confined to dress, you feel disposed to pity and pardon the offender, but your city snob being gifted with detestable presumption, you find yourself irre sistibly impelled to offer him sixpence a day for life, to keep out of your sight for ever." After these general remarks follow some particular details of two travelling companions the Colonel met with in this voyage—one a poor dupe whom a bubble scheme had defrauded of all his fortune, the other Ninette St. Aubyn, a young French lady, who forth with makes the Colonel acquainted with all her history, a passing strange and most improbable one. On arriving in the north, we have, first, an account of a Scotch funeral, and the sober silence which ac companied it appears to have offered to the Irish Colonel a favourable contrast to the noisy "wakes " of his own countrymen. Then follows some descrip tion of Norham Castle, something about cannon balls, an amusing account of a struggle between our Colonel and a superb salmon, ending in the victory of the latter, and the discomfited angler re turns to his inn just in time to enact the part of "father" at a run-away wedding about to take place there—being on the Borders. This will be enough to show the very various character of these sketches. Intermixed with them are many legends of the " Cheviot and Lammermuir," and these are necesssarily most interesting ; for of all species of composition, old traditions and legends possess the most enthralling interest, attributable perhaps to their imperceptibly and inseparably com bining much of truth and much of mystery. The two principal traditions here narrated contain a due allowance of mysterious interest and the proper accompaniments of a murder and a ghost. One of the most interesting, " A Legend of the '15," gives some details anent " the Earl's rising," namely, the rising of the young Earl of Derwentwater in the in surrection of 'l5. In another place in these volumes we have also a brief account of this gallant and un fortunate young nobleman, showing the disastrous issue of his ill-omened attempt, and How the young Earl had given his soul unto Heaven, Still bright with the freshness of youth, And his last prayer was said, on his cross-hilted blade, For the King, and the cause, and the truth." Another very interesting, but mournful, episode, suggested by the neighbourhood of the Farn Islands, is a brief allusion to the loss of the Forfarshire and a touching account of the wreck of the Pegasus, in 1843. This ill-fated vessel had struck upon a rock and sunk rapidly; by some mismanagement the boats were swamped as soon as lowered, and all hope of escape was cut off from those still remaining on board—they had only to wait for death. Then it was, we are told, that Mr. Mackensie, a clergyman, who happened to be on board, " true to his vocation, col lected those about to die around him, and as they knelt, obedient to his wishes, poured forth a parting prayer in words of such fervid eloquence, that the few survivors declared that his supplication for mercy to the throne of grace seemed rather the language of inspiration than that which is breathed from mortal lips." Bailey, one of the sailors who escaped, just before leaping from the vessel ; cast a farewell glance at the devoted group. " I saw the water just about touching them," he relates, "but they all remained fixed to the spot as if too deeply engaged with God to be disturbed by that element which was to bring them nearer to their Heavenly Father." One of the best of the illustrations with which Measom has adorned these volumes commemorates this scene. Besides these legends and these episodes, Colonel Maxwell has given us a brief historical account of the men and manners of the Borders. After the union of the crowns of England and Scotland their warlike habits were in some degree modified, but they seem to have been at best but a lawless race. " Poaching," we are told, " was carried to an im mense extent, and a spirit of gambling was inveterate. It was not unfrequent, when harvesting the crops, for farmers to stop upon the highway with their laden carts, and decide by a game at cards which farmyard should possess the double load, and the loser would assist in stacking the corn he had lost." However agreeable Colonel Maxwell's style may be, there are a few faults to be found with it, faults which are easily attributable to his easy and perhaps hurried mode of writing; of these is the repetition of quotations, and the confusion (though only in two instances) of proper names. In one of these an Irishman is relating an adventure, and whether the mistake is attributable to him or to the author we know not, but the hereise of the said adventure is spoken of first by the name of " Honor," then " Biddy," and then " Judy," all in the same page ! But the greatest cause of complaint that we find with Colonel Maxwell is the manner in which he continually, and quite unnecessarily, throws a stone at the Irish—his countrymen. Even sup esuhpaprgoseintghernthawt ith th , ey such me fi r i i p t pa ili nt or a e llu t s l i l o a n n s h s so con stantly recurring- are, to say the least of it, in very bad taste. " We, Charles Louis de Bourbon, Infanta of Spain, &c., D. G. Duke of Lucca, to our dearly be loved subjects,— "' We wish to reign over you, not by fear, but by love—not by force, but by beneficence, and we, therefore, open to you our paternal heart. We are accordingly disposed to take into consideration, in the first instance, all matters which may tend to promote your welfare, following the traces of those measures which are being successively matured in the neigh bouring Grand Duchy of Tuscany, so as to enable you to enjoy, by anticipation, the advantages that may thence result. Meanwhile, we announce the establishment of the. Civic Guard, necessary to insure public tranquillity, and we have already given the requisite instructions to our Council of State, all the members of which are animated by the best sentiments to propose to us, with the greatest solicitude, any reform which may tend to appease your just demands, and to satisfy our own most ardent desire to render you happy now and for ever. " Repose, therefore, full reliance on these affec tionate words of your father and Sovereign, who is animated by a sincere wish for the welfare of you all, and who is taking counsel for that purpose With those of your fellow-citizens whom you most love and esteem. During the past week a highly important invention has been added to the numerous works of mechanism and art in the museum of this establishment. It consists of an apparatus for propelling carriages up inclined planes on railroads, and is invented and patented by Mr. Galloway, the engineer. In the centre of the road, and between the rails, is fixed a strong baulk of wood, with a grooved rail firmly fitted on it, for the purpose of receiving two hori zontal wheels, one on each side. These wheels are in communication with the engine, and when the train arrives at the bottom of the incline the wheels are put in motion and takes it up with great facility, and in its downward course also acts the part or a break, the whole being allowed to desce n d w i t h any given amount of velocity; the principle is beautifully illustrated in the model, which is daily exhibited and explained by Mr. Crisp, in the great hall of the in stitution. We understand that it has been tested on the Great 'Western Railway, and that trial fully proved its practicability on the large scale as well as in the model, a result not always t o b e de pended on in engineering inventions. There are also several other means of transit on railways explained, offering to the public a very agreeable and instructive means of becoming acquainted with the diff e r en t methods by which this great national work may be accomplished.

What beauty, what grandeur, what pathos, what wit, what daring, what pleasantry, what heroism, what grace, poetry, elevation, and diversity there is lavished in abundant and melodious numbers in those plays, this volume of " The Heroines of Shakspere" reminds us. It reminds us of scenes, and dialogues, and soliloquies, of stirring incidents and passionate adjurations. It calls to our recollection Anne Page and Anne Bullen. Mistress Ford and Mistress Page, the Princess of France, in Love's Labour Lost, and Portia, the wife of Brutus. It brings to mind the forms of Queen Katherine in Henry VIIL, and the Princess Katherine in Henry V., of Lady Grey and Lady Macbeth, of Lady Anne in Richard lIL, and Joan of Arc in Henry V L, and Lady Percy in Henry I IT. Above all, it summons before our memory that long and immortal list of heroines—Miranda, Julia, Silvia, Olivia, Maria, Viola, Isabella, Mariana, Hero, Beatrice, Titania, Jessica, Portia, Rosalind, Celia, Audrey, Helena, Katherine, Mopsa, Perdita, Constance, Margaret, Cressida, Virgilia, Cleopatra, Imogen, Lavinia, Cord e li a , J u li et, Ophelia, and Desdemona.

East India of all de scriptions met with little attention from exporters or the home trade, although there are sellers rather under the July sale ; prices are, however, not ex pected to be much lower, as the stock is smaller than it was in the past season ; the deliveries are larger, the importation smaller, and prices lower.

IMPRESSIONS OF JENNY LIND THE TWO GENTLEMEN FOUND DEAD IN THE HIGHLANDS. While we lament the untimely fate of these gentle men, and deeply sympathise with their sorrowing friends, we are gratified to find that not a single article belonging to them seems to have been removed by the young man who first found them, or by those who afterwards came the way. Their watches, the gold and silver of which they were possessed, were all to be had with impunity for the taking; and these could have formed no small temptation to people smarting under the pangs of indigence and want; but they resisted the temptation, and acting upon the principle that honesty is the best policy—to their honour be it recorded—they nobly did their duty. This distressing event has created a deeper sensa tion throughout the district of the country in which it occurred than any other for a long time past. But while we deeply feel on this occasion, we deem it our duty to hold out the distressing end of these men as a beacon to other tourists to warn them of their danger. It has been too much the custom of late years for gentlemen travellers, unaccustomed to fatigue, and unprepared with suitable clothing, to undertake long and toilsome journie3 across these wild and unfrequented regions, without refreshment and without guides, for no intelligible reason, unless it be for the silly one of being afterwards able to boast of such feats. But they are perilous feats; and even this season we have known one or two instances in which parties engaged in them barely escaped with their lives ; and we sincerely trust that if this awful visitation of Providence have no other effect, it will at least have the effect of putting a stop to such mad undertakings in future. GAMBLING HOUSES AT BADEN.—Another young man has fallen a victim to the terrible system of gam bling which is carried on here. He lost large sums at hazard, was driven to despair, and opened the veins of his throat with a knife. This is the third victim in the course of little more than a week. Surely the authori ties must interfere, and at once put an end to these dens of iniquity. EXTENSIVE FIRE AT COTTENHAM.—On Thursday night, about twelve o'clock, a most extensive fire broke out at Cottenham, the place so celebrated for its cheese, being, we believe, the largest dairy in the kingdom. The fire was first discovered by Mr. W. Norman, an inabitant of the place, who observed flames issuing from a cooper's shop. Soon after this it communicated to the premises of a basketmakcr, which were speedily consumed, includ ing two barns at the back of the house filled with rods. There was a stiff breeze at the time, and the devouring element continued its course on both sides of the shop where the fire originated, communicating with a number of farmhouses, and thence to the homestalls, which were stored with grain of all sorts. Altogether the pro perty destroyed consisted of 12 substantial farmhouses, all of them with homestalls, barns, stacks, &c. To give an idea of the extent of the fire, it may be as well to observe that the village of Cottenham is one mile in length, and the fire extended full one third of that dis tance. We understand the damage done amounts to between 15,0001. and 20,0001., but we believe most of it is insured in the Norwich Union, Royal Farmers', and Royal Exchange Fire-offices. The following is the pro perty destroyed :-12 dwelling-houses, 26 barns, nearly 50 stacks of corn, hay, and more than a dozen cot tages. It is a singular fact, that an old farmhouse, be longing to Mr. J. Ivatt, which withstood a large fire that happened in the same village about 20 years ago, was again proof against the devouring element, although, as it were, nearly in the midst of it. This house, which is a very large Lone, stood as a barrier between the flames and the produce of nearly 1,000 acres, which must have inevitably been destroyed if the house had caught fire. THE GERMAN HOSPITAL.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Nassau has been pleased to send a donation of 201. to the above Hospital, which, by his command, has been honoured by a visit from Baron de Gagern, Chamberlain to bis Royal Highness. IMPORTATION OF GRAIN FROM AUSTRALASIA.—The vessel Rookery, arrived in the Docks from Launceston, has brought 1,823 packages of wheat, the production of the colony of Van Diemen's Land. THE RUM AND BRANDY MAREET.—This market still continues in nearly the same unsettled state as our last week's report, with the exception that there has been, if anything, less business transacted. The enormous quantities of rums daily expected must of course give a downward tendency to an already overstocked market. Brandies remain at precisely the same prices as last quoted, in consequence of holders still continuing the demand for rates that they never can realise. The major part of the brandies lately sold have been either 1845's or 1846'5; the old brandies, such as 1840's or 1842'5, being depreciated so much in strength that they cannot pay the consumer, though certainly of much finer quality.-- Wine Trade Circular.

Nothing as yet is known with certainty of her Majesty's intentions ; but it is believed that the present wintry aspect of the weather will shorten the royal visit.

It represents the inimitable cantatrice in the part of La Figlia del Reggi mento ; arch, gay, soldier. like, and full of spirit : and difficult, almost impossible as it may appear, to have embodied her refined rendering of the part, Count d'Orsay, has, nevertheless, succeeded in doing so to the utmost degree ; and this beautiful little statuette, from its high artistic merit and extreme fidelity as a resem blance, must be regarded as the portrait par excellence of Mdlle. Jenny Lind. VICTORIA THEATRE.—Yesterday evening, during the performance of Black-eyed Susan, the affecting per formance of Miss Vincent, as the heroine, in the scene where her distress reaches its acme, a gallant son o f th e sea, who had been a witness of the progress of the piece, sprang on the stage to the rescue of Susan, amidst the hearty plaudits of a crowded house. Throwing his hat off, he was about to snatch t he fa ir heroine from her assailants, when his zeal was checked b y M r. Hi c k s. The circumstance gave rise to a hearty laugh, and " Jack," when warned of his indiscretion, calmly retired from the stage by the P. side, making a b ow t o t h e au dience. The energy of the sailor was really sincere and hearty. The affair was the subject of many comments , as exemplifying the zeal of the arti ste and her powerful delineation of the c haracter. MARRIAGE OF JENNYi . Li/cp.—The ' 6 Swedish Nightingale" has, it is reported, taken un t o h erse lf a mute. The envied man is said to be a banker of Stock holm, an Englishman, and related by mar r i age to a gen tleman in whom are united the character s o f a L on d on banker and a Grecian historian. The ceremony took place, we are told, at Manchester.—Morning paper. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A BARRlSTER.—Yes terday, information was forwarded to the v ar i ous police stations that a member of the Irish bar, lat e ly occupying chambers in Symonds'-inn, Chancery-lane, had ab sconded, in consequence of true bills having been found against him for perjury and conspiracy, and a rewar d h as been offered for his apprehension. SIGNS OF THE TIMES.—The curate of Morpeth, under the Hon. and Rev. F. Grey, has circulated a note earnestly recommending persons to apply t o the parish priest for Absolution. This has been answered by a Tract, entitled " a Few more Words and Plainer,' in which the author says, it were bettor for those who hold such opinions to cast of the name and wages of the Church they ostensibly belong to, and to as sume th a t of another, for which their belief is fitted. CUSTOMS APPOINTMENT. -- Her Majesty's Commis sioners of Customs have appointed Mr. Luscombe, of the Custom House, Plymouth, permanent landing-waiter at Devonport, to be attached to the bonded warehouses at Mutton Cove. MARKET INTELLIGENCE (From the London New Price Current of Sept. 10.) SUGAR.—To-day the home demand was not quite so good for Raw Sugar for home consumption or exporta tion ; whilst on the part of merchants there was a desire to sell, and in most descriptions a fall in the value took place, and the quantity on offer was larger. The busi ness concluded in all sorts of West India was good, both for the scale and pan, 570 hhds and trcs finding buyers in the private market, but merchants were in some cases compelled to accept prices 6d per cwt under those of last Friday. The total purchases for the week aro 2,630 hhds and tree. RELINED.—To-day Refined Goods met with little attention from the home trade, although brown Lumps could be obtained at 54s to 54s 6d, and to pass the Standard at 55s to 55s 6d per cwt. The market for Bonded Crushed Sugar is in a dull state at former rates. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market was plenti fully supplied with Bengal Sugar, the quantity offered at public sale amounting to 4,510 bags, but the whole sold in consequence of holders submitting to a reduction on former rates of 6d per cwt. . . MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was in request, and at auction 8,472 bags were all sold ; but in most instances at a fall on former rates of 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of any kind of Foreign Sugar, and privately the business done was not of much moment ; in prices there is, however, little variation. COFFEE.—This afternoon 70 barrels Jamaica Coffee were offered at public sale, and nearly all takes in rather above the value ; low middling at 635, fine fine ordinary 55s to 58s, fine ordinary 47s to 50s ; good ordinary 44s to 455, low good ordinary 41s to 425. Native Ceylon met with little attention, and 951 bags only in part sold at 37s for good ordinary, and at 30s 6d to 36s 6d for damaged, which is the full value ; but 24 casks Planta tion went at stiff rates ; good coloury bold at 70s 6d to 71s 6d, rather small ditto 64s to 665, middling and good middling 546 6d to 61s. SPICES.—To-day a public sale of 370 bags Pimento went at kd per lb advance, and sold at 51c1 to .sicl for mid dling quality. Of Jamaica Ginger 139 barrels were sold at lower rates; very fine quality went at 9145, fine Si 5s to 61, middling and good 21 16s to 41. 6s, low 213 s to 21 Ils. 216 bags Pepper were taken in at 24d to 2j-d for clean grey Cochin, which is above the value. TEA.—There has been little desire evinced to operate in good and fine descriptions of Con you privately this week, but merchants generally are not disposed to lower their prices, and for the limited parcels sold have ob tained is Id to is 4d for the former, and is 6d to 2s for the latter. The lower qualities, however, met with rather more attention, and brought firm prices, whilst a fair busi ' ness has been concluded; common at 9d to 61d, good com mon 9id to 10(1, but mid and mid sorts were operated in with caution, and easier rates were taken, viz, middling 101 d to Is per lb. Of common there is only a moderate quantity on offer. The market for the better qualities of Green is in an inactive state, and having a fair supply, prices continue on the decline, but in common kinds large purchases have been made, in consequence of the low rates that prevail. All sorts of Young Hyson have been in excellent request, and brought stiffer rates. In Scented Teas there has been little passing. RICE.—To-day the market was abundantly supplied with East India Rice, and the parcels offered at public sale amounted to 4,694 bags 1,424 packets Bengal, 2,998 bags Madras, and 4,281 bags Ceylon. Merchants were desirous to sell, but submitting to a reduction on former rates of 6d per cwt, occasioned the demand to be good, and nearly the whole found buyers. MOLASSES.—The demand for all sorts of West India has been active this week, and prices have assumed an upward tendency. The private sales are 500 puns. Antigua of fine quality at 19s ; Grenada fair at 16s 6d, and St. Lucia at 16s. Of Mauritius some parcels have been disposed of at 16s. In Bengal Treacle large pur chases have been made at 18s per cwt for fine quality. Cocoe.—Although there are sellers of West India upon further reduced terms, yet buyers have been cautious in their proceedings by private treaty. We quote Trinidad red at 45s to 492, gray 43s to 47s ; Grenada 42s to 465, and St. Lucia at 38s to 455. At public sale 77 bags of Trinidad were part sold, good dark red 18s Gd, good gr e y 47s 6d, and middling 455. Foreign is little required, and 36s to 39s is the value of Para. SPIRITS.—AII descriptions of Jamaica Rum have been in go id request during the week, and the rates paid have been fully equal to those previously current ; indeed the superior kinds brought rather more money. The total sales are 250 puns plain quality 31 to 34 per cent. over proof at 3s 8d to 3s 9d ; 33 to 36 over middling to good 38 10d to 4s 2d, and fine 48 4d to 5s per gallon ; indeed the operations would have been upon a more extended scale had the market been better sup. plied. The home trade continue to be the chief buyers, Demerara of strong quality is wanted at previous quota tions, and for 100 puns 35 to 37 per cent over proof 3s 6d to 3s 7d hare been obtained. Last India i 5 yet AT MANCHESTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MANCHESTER EXAMINER. Sir,—l am not what is called a musical man, there fore, when the heading of this letter meets your eye, you must not set me down as belonging to the corps of musical critics. The mysteries and intricacies of the science are quite unknown to me. I only know what pleases myself; and am " content to feel what others understand." Music, however, has great charms for me, and I can enjoy it in all its forms, from the simply plaintive pastoral air that carries one away to hill-sides, and along streams and glens, to the sublime strains of Beethoven, telling of the soul's struggles, doubts, and aspirations. Believing that many of your roaders are, like myself, totally un initiated in the mysteries of music as a science, I have thought that, to those of them who have never heard Jenny Lind, an a tt empt, h owever i mperfect, to describe my own impressions of her singing and acting, may not be unacceptable. I had heard and read much of her, and my expectations were, of course, considerably excited, and I looked with eagerness to her advent amongst us. I have heard her on three of the four occasions on which she has sung at Man chester, and can truly say that she has exceeded all my expectations ; and now I am not the least sur prised at the triumphs she has won, or the enthu siasm she has everywhere inspired. Enthusiasm is but the hearty recognition of what one feels to be true or beautiful—a sort of mental hospitality, which goes forth to meet whomever or whatever the soul recognises to be excellent. Assuredly in no case was enthusiasm ever more just or well merited than in that of Jenny Lind ! Her power and attraction are undisputed and undisputable. What, then, is the secret of her witchery ? This I will try to answer by simply recording the impression produced by her upon myself. Well, then, if ever there was a being who con veyed to the mind of another an instantaneous and indelible idea of truth and goodness, it is Jenny Lind There is about her a sweetness and unaffected grace inseparable from the conviction of moral rectitude ; for in true grace there is ever something akin to virtue itself. Her heart is on her lips, and the soul of honesty beams from her countenance ; she look, the very incarnation of trustfulness and candour. Purity sits enthroned on her brow, and she is all over, as it were, radiant with honesty, good nature, and frankness. So open and true is her look, that whatever is good in one's own nature is drawn forth, and one feels brought so near to her that at last there intervenes nothing betwixt yourself and the clear, intelligent soul that shines forth from that full, bright eye of hers. Looking on her face, you are at once conscious of being in the presence of an earnest and unsophisticated nature. You are also impressed with the idea of an innate force of character equal to any emergency, a self-dependence " still achieving, still pursuing, with a heart for any fate." The true nobility of nature is stamped upon her, and mightily indeed does it contrast with the miserable put-on airs of artificial life. Everything about Jenny Lind is fresh and artless. Her movements are those of a free and happy child, ripening in the sunshine of a loving, unconstrained home. She has the look of spring about her. All is promise and hope, and an impressible fulness of quiet joy. Every one knows the feeling of early morning in summer, as compared with the hours that come after. Glowing and balmy though the latter be, they want the elasticity, the bracing freshness, the inspirit ing of the early morn. Such is the difference be tween this songstress and all others whom I have seen. The illustration may appear fanciful ; but those who have seen her, and many who have only heard of her, will understand what I mean, and I can find no other comparison which so well conveys my meaning. _ _ _ But to return. The power which Jenny Lind possesses of conveying to the looker-on a knowledge of what is passing within her own soul is wonderful. Her expression is to me a much more extraordinary attraction than her voice, exquisite though that also undoubtedly is. If any one requires to be convinced how secondary everything else is to expression, let him but once see Jenny Lind, and his doubts will vanish. He will acknowledge the comparative insig nificance of everything else—of complexion, regu larity of features, symmetry of form—how all these are subordinate to this sign of the soul—this symbol of all those indefinable shades of the inner life—shades and shadows of shades, so fugitive and delicate as to transcend the imperfect development of speech. Jenny Lind's expression carries everything before it ; sunshine and shadow alternately sweeping over a fine landscape, now with the rapidity of lightning, now " with the slow motion of a summer's cloud," do not communicate more charming variety to the scene than do the inward transitions of thought and feeling to the countenance of this remarkable woman. Now think of all this united to a full, sweet, de licious voice, capable of giving utterance to every emotion of the soul, from the ringing and bell-like ebullition of joy, to the most exquisitely soft breath ings of tenderness, when the strain seems to come from far away, descending tremulously from the sky itself. In such soft breathings, or " singing whispers," she herself looks as if she were " breathless with adoration"—her features become perfectly still—her earnest, glowing eyes are upturned—no motion of her lips is visible—she stands a rapt listener with yourself to the floating melody, whose sound is more like the wandering notes of some heavenly choir than anything human. In her singing there is never an effort apparent—not even the shadow of effort. Advancing with a modest grace, she throws on her audience a glance of cordial confidence, and then, as if happy and assured, she pours forth with spon taneous freedom her exquisite strains. As your critic justly remarked on Saturday—" It is hers to refresh our over-heated and artificial life with draughts of the sparkling lymph of homely truth." Her influence for good, I humbly submit, ought not to be under-estimated. With the Ithuriel spear of song she touches the deepest feelings of our nature—revivifying whatever of the good or noble within us has been languid or choked him. Our artificial habits, and the daily hurrying tide of our commercial existence, drive us too often the e r away c i from the safe and pleasant moorings where in its healthiest moments woul d fix us. Such an show us what i n fl uen ce as she exerts helps t :l3 are gently won back again to simplicity oug ht to be our true position , ande m natu u r s e ie . fH childhoode r strains com e over ussnatches lik s e plicy n it of th heard in a distant count r y . Comin g to us amid the din and fever heat of what we call life , they carry us back to that "golden time" when there was "glory in the grass and splendour in the flower." What we had thought long since dead and gone the pathos and beauty of her song draws forth from some fold of the heart, where it had only lain hidden for a season, to be made to live again by the evoking power of genius. Such influences as she exerts on the mind are to be classed with the most beneficent and elevating eff, cts of the highest poetry. Jenny Lind is a beautiful humanizing agency. Her mission is, by the power of song, to purify and exalt all who come within her spell, and to teach us that, after all our strivings and "unprofitable stir," the world contains within it nothing so lovely as truth and simplicity. There were some other things I wished to speak of—such as her thorough identification with the cha racter she is representing, or rather with the character which .he for the time is—but I fear I have already encroached too much on your space. Allow me, therefore, at once to conclude this imperfect utter ance, by subscribing myself, ONE OF THE UNINITIATED. --- Jenny Lind sang again at Birmingham, on Thurs day evening, at a concert for the benefit of the Hebrew schools. There was a brilliant audience. Her reception was of a most flattering character. It is understood that the receipts fell little short of 1,500/. Ej ~ 4 7 . - ' ...... .....--4 --. , , ___ • ... . . RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE: - ,-' • ' GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was hev:_ - .: on Wednesday, at Dublin ; Mr. G. Carr in the Fhb:'" ',--- The SECRETARY read the r e p or t, w hi ch Staled tliatl .`' 4 ' ll k w: they had, a double line of railway opened to Bally brophy, a distance of 92 miles, including the Carlow branch. The first portion of the main trunk line from Cherryville to Maryborough had been at work for about two months, and the receipts had proved very satisfactory. The line to Thurles and Carlow, a distance of 110 miles, being now nearly completed, the directors assure the proprietors that the cost will not exceed 13,0001. a mile, including stations, but not ' including the working stock. Contracts had been let ' for the portion of the line between Thurles and Cork, 78 miles in length. The directors feel every confi dence that the working expenses will not exceed those of the best regulated lines in England, and as suming them at the high rate of 50 per cent. on the receipts, the existing traffic on that portion of the line now opened would yield a handsome return on its cost. A goods' :station, constructed on the most improved principle, is now nearly completed at the King's -bridge terminus. A year's experience of the working cf the line proved the sound judgment of the en gineer in the substantial execution of the work, and in adopting a rail of such strength as to insure a safe and smooth road, and which, though costly in the first instance, was certain to prove ultimately a great economy. Not a single accident had occurred to in terrupt the regularity of the trains, and the traffic had been conducted in a manner to give general satisfac tion. No agreement had yet been concluded for the conveyance of mails, the amour, t claimed for the car riage of them b y th e company bein g a b out 10,000/. The carrying stock now was ample and in good order, and they had a sufficient number of engines for the demand ; also additional engines w. ere now in course of construction. The Bill for a branch to Tullamore had received the royal assent last session, and steps were being taken to expedite its consaruction. They hoped to be enabled to run trains the whole way from Dublin to Limerick by the close of the present year. Agreements had been concluded for the purchase of land on the river Lee, at Cork, sufficient for the ter minus there, possessing a long quay, where steamers of 800 tons could moor within a fe% r yards of the railway. The directors had obtained a lot in of 500,0001. to enable them to carry on the works with all pos sible rapidity. They were bound to call up from the proprietors an equivalent sum to that ad vanced by the Loan Commissioners. Every effort had been made to render the calls as littale onerous as possible to the shareholders. The directors do not anticipate more than one call in the present year, which, with the instalments of the Goverament loan, would, it was thought, furnish sufficient funds to carry on with spirit the works to Cork. The line had been partially open for little more than a year for public traffic, and notwithstanding all the difficulties and extent of public distress, the weekly receipts h a d increased. The directors felt warranted in stating that there was every ground for increased confidence that this railway would ultimately prove one of the most sound and beneficial investments in the United ___ Kingdom. The capital account showed that 1,951,241/. had been received, and 1,876,3261. expended, leaving a balance in hand of 74,915/. The engineer's report stated that the pottion of the railway at present open was in a permanent and satisfactory state ; that there was no oscillation of the trains when proceeding at a high speed; that the line would be completed by November from Dublin to the junction of the Waterford and Limerick Rail way, which would complete the railway communica tion from Dublin to Limerick ; that the works be tween Thurles and Cork were proceeding rapidly, although the contractor had encountered rather serious obstructions in obtaining possession of the land. The CHAIRMAN adverted to the distressed state of the country experienced within the past year, and tile consequent depression of trade and commerce ; that a I portion of the railway had been opened in that in auspicious period fer public traffic. Notwithstandin g the falling. off in the transmission of agricultural pro duce, and nearly the destruction of the general tram (a in many parts of the country, the weekly returns ha d increased satisfactorily. He called attention to a statement in the report of the recent meeting of thy' London and North-Western Company, which, among other causes, assigned for the falling off in the profits the loss of the goods' traffic with Ireland. If that I company felt such effects from the misfortunes of the country what must be the loss of traffic sustained by the Great Southern and Western , which entirely de pended on the prosperity of Ireland ? Considering these circumstances, he felt satisfied that their under taking would not only prove a secure investment, but a profitable enterprise. From the direction of their line they had no occasion to dread competition, as all tributary lines would be of advantage to it ; the directors would, therefore, feel it to be their duty to encourage and support all legitimate projects for branches to their line. He then adverted to an intev• view he had had with Lord John Russell respecting the proposed grant of Government loans to certain Irish railways to enable them to carry on the works, and he was sure the meeting would join him in the expression of his thanks to the Noble Lord for his conduct on that occasion. The Premier said he con sidered that Ireland had suffered much and long from ages of mistaken policy and bad government, and it was their duty to repair those injuries as speedily as they could. He (the Chairman) believed that Irish. railways would be of infinite service in removing, to a certain extent, the complaint of absenteeism ; that when they could cheaply and expeditiously visit tb*ir properties they would do so. He remarked, in co n elusion, that out of calls amounting to 1,600,0001., there was due but 16,0001., or 1 per cent., which, be said, proved the character of the proprietary, and tht,ir ' confidence in the success of the undertaking. He then moved the adoption of the report and accounts. Mr. BOOTHBY, in seconding the motion, said that although he was a member of the board, he had not interfered much in the management, which was con ducted chiefly by the resident gentlemen. He be lieved the statements they had heard from the directors and engineer were perfectly honest, and that the whole cost of the line, including the working stock, would not exceed 15,000/. per mile. He then ex pressed his satisfaction at the state of the line, and said that he understood from good authority that the several working expenses of this railway were lower than those in England, with the exception of the item for coke, but to counterbalance that they had no charge for duty on passengers or county-rate. Resolutions were passed adopting the report and accounts, re-electing the retiring directors, and autho rising a full report of the proceedings to be circulated amongst the shareholders. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meet ing separated. MILITARY REWARD. On Thursday afternoon medals were presented to certain non-commissioned officers in the Provisional Battalion under her ;Majesty's warrant of the 19th of December, 1845. On this occasion the whole of the depots forming the Provisional Battalion assembled on the general parade ground, when Colonel Thomas Weare, K.H., commandant of the battalion, advanced in front of the line, and formed the troops into a square, when he add resse d th e b a t ta li on, say i ng that he had so formed them as to enable the non-commis sioned officers and privates to witness the presentation d of medals to three non-commissioned , otE_F r e a r o s e , the stated that these medals, by order of h he ' r ti Majesty's Commander-in-Chief, and agreeably to her the depots comprising the battalion — to the regulations, were to be presented of Ist battalion Colour-Sergeant in p r e Q s e u n a c r e te Quarter master m nf as th te e r S 6t e h rge ß an oy t a ß l o ß beg es s ; ava t g o for their long and Borthwick, 78th Highlanders, Singles, 37th Regiment; officers into the centre of three non-commissioned o medals to Colour-Sergeant the square, and handed the . and Crtivoef meritorious services.
