ZURICEI.—The celebrated violinist, Ernst, has been

THE Heelux, APRIL 10.—The French Theatre

months, has just re-opened with the three act opera

music by M. Lazare Martin. The house was well
attended.
CONSTANTINOPLE.—Our theatre is getting on more

giving concerts
here with great success.
Sroun.—A recent tourist in Germany gives the
following interesting notice of this talented musical
composer :—"
He is known all over the country ES
' Father Spohr,' and the venerable bearing, the
tranquil and benevolent expression of the gigantic
old man well justify the title. Where false
notes and false time are out of the ques-
tion, and German politics are not on the tapir, be is
one of the mildest of men, with congenial spirits, moat
social, and in domestic life even playful to the last
degree. Cassel, his house, and his garden are to him
the nearest approach to Paradise which this lower
world of ours can show. He has visited London and
the other great capitals more than once, yet ever re-
turn; from them only with fresh devotion to his own
home."—Sanday Paper.

MARRIAGE OF JENNY LIN D.
(Extract of a Letter of Feb. 7.)
I have a little bit of news to tell you, of an event
that has taken place, and having been one of the
actors, or perhaps a supernumerary in it, can give you
some particulars that may interest you—l mean
Jenny Lind's wedding. She left New York for Bos-
ton about three weeks since, and shortly after wrote
me a long letter, confessing what she had been too
bashful to reveal before, viz., that she was engaged
to be married to a young German artist—Otto
Goldschmidt, and to whom she was very tenderly
attached.
She asked me to draw up her marriage contract, gave
me the particulars how she wished her property to be
settled, Sic., which was done in due form ; and in con-
nexion herewith, I will mention, that, with that
high spirit of generosity that has always marked her
character, she set apart 20,0001. to found a charity
school in Sweden ! Last Wednesday I went to Bos-
ton, and she approved of the marriage contract ; and
the next day, the sth inst., she was married to Mr.
Goldschmidt, at the house of Mr. Ward, a friend of
hers and Goldschmidt's.
The morning was bright and cloudless, and prog-
nosticated well for her martwd state. She was
dressed in white silk, with a veil; and orange flower
wreath, intermingled with myrtle a la Suedoise,
with a bouquet or corsage of the same, • and looked
very charming.
The queries were pronounced by the Rev. Dr.
Wainwright, a clergyman from New York, whore
she had invited for the purpose. Only half 31 dozen
friends were present ; among them Mr. Everitt,
who was minister to London a few veers
ago. Then came the kissing of the bride,
performed by the staid guest; by imprinting
a beneficial .kiss on the forehead, except
by one, whom Jenny embraced, and gave an old-
fashioned Swedish kiss. She seemed a very Amiaa,
so joyous, so happy, stepping on air, as it were. After
a while she sat down to the piano, and sang " Ah
non giunge" with a heartiness that would have
brought the whole Opera-house at her feet. In the
afternoon they went off to a country seat at Northamp-
ton, about one hundred miles from Boston, which they
have hired for a few months. In the summer they
return to Europe. Mr. Goldschmidt is seven years
younger than herself—about 24 years old, a small,
very good-looking man, of a high-toned character,
well educated, and devoted to her. lie is from Ham-
burgh, where his father is a respected merchant.—

EXTRAORDINARY CAREER OF A LON.
DON CLERGYMAN.
The inhabitants of the district of St. Barnabas, in
the parish of St. Luke's, Old-street-road, have
been painfully excited for some time past by a se-
ries of statements, which have resulted in the re-
vocation of the licence of the Rev. Richard Jones
Temple by the Bishop of London, and a prohibition
against again taking clerical duty in the metropolitan
diocese. The case will be understood from a brief
recital of the facts, as they are stated by Mr. Hill, in
a pastoral letter to his parishioners. Mr. Hill states
that during the last few months he has found that he
was losing the esteem of his parishioners which he
formerly enjoyed, and on making inquiries he had
reason to suspect that the minds of his friends were
being poisoned by Mr. Temple, his curate.
i Other circumstances arose which compelled him,
in justice to himself, and for the satisfaction of the
Bishop, to institute a searching inquiry as to Mr.
Temple's previous career. Mr. Hill states that
Richard Jones, alias Risiart Johns, alias Robert K.
Jones, alias Richard Jones Temple (for by all these
fictitious names was the identity of his curate mys-
tified), commenced his public or ministerial life in
December, 1841, at the Independent Dissenters'
School at Blackburn, in Lancashire, which school,
being subsequently ,merged into a more general col-
lege, near Manchester, in 1843, the inmates of the
Blackburn school were received there as first stu-
dents is preparation for the ministry among the dis-
senting bodies, and included in the number thus
transferred was Richard Jones. From that college
Richard Jones was publicly expelled by an act of the
general committee of management, on the ground of
such moral deficiency of character and conduct as in
the opinion of the authorities wholly unfitted him
for the ministry Shortly after this Mr. Jones
changed his name and his religious principles. He
became a Baptist, and as the Rev. Risiart Johns was
inducted into the office of pastor of the Baptist con-
gregation at Wbitchurch. While holding this posi-
tion he gave out that he was engaged to a Miss Mary
Owen, a young lady at Bangor, who during his resi-
dence at Whitclanrch became sudeenly possessed of
18,000/., bequeathed to her by an uncle in India. One
morning he informed some influential members of his
congregation that he had dreamed that his betrothed
lady had been thrown from her carriage by a
runaway accident, and that dreadful and ghastly ap-
pearances had told him that the lady was hopelessly
injured. On the strength of these representations 101.
were advanced to him to enable him to go to Wales ;
a letter written in Welsh, which none of his people
could read, purporting to come from Bangor, and
confirmatory of his dream, having been produced.
This letter, he said, informed him that Miss
Owen had died from concussion of the brain. He
started accordingly for Bangor, but proceeded as far
as London only, and then returned to Whitchurch
some days after, stating that his health had there
failed him, and that his physician had told him
that to prosecute his journey into Wales
would imperil his life. Not appearing ill on
his return, he was taunted at his quiet re-
signation and submissive apathy under the loss of an
heiress of 18,0001., and doubts arising as to the
truthfulness of the story, connected with other cir-
cumstances which had occurred, inquiries were pro-
secuted. The clergyman and the registrar of Bangor
were written to, as well as the registrar of Somerset-
house, and it was ascertained that no such accident
had happened at Bangor, nor was any such person
as Miss Owen known. The Rev. Gentleman was
consequently obliged to leave Whitchuech,4 and

appointment of curate of St. Sepulchre's. Immediately
on entering upon that sphere of labour, he informed
certain members of the congregation that he was in-
