JENNY Lien.—ln Jenny Lind we see realised our
ideal of the Teutonic maid. She is the loving, earnest
creature, German authors so delight in depicting ; the
embodiment, in short, of the creations of De la Motte,
Fouque, or Auerbach, the last mentioned of whom, in his
" Tales of the Black Forest," pictures many a Jenny
Lind, singing in the greenwood in all the fresh simpli-
city of nature. She is not one of your regular beauties,
whom novelists have such a facility in painting ;
indeed, according to the general acceptation of the
term, she is no beauty at all; nevertheless, she is the
most enchanting creature imaginable—" In that we all
agree." What is it, then, that fascinates the whole house,
and makes it rise, as one man, with loud acclamations
directly she appears? It is the mixture of earnestness,
simplicity, and genius we see stamped upon her features,
lighting them up with an expression a thousand times
more ravishing than the most Cleopatra dike beauty.
Like a little child, she makes friends with the
great cempany at once. She sits in no car, like the
fairy in the pantomime, surrounded by golden beams ;
but from her, as from some exquisitely tuned nervous
centre, invisibly ray out the trembling chords of sym-
pathy to every human heart by whom she is surrounded.
Great as is her singing, pure the flute-like tones of her
voice, swelling with all the delicious sweetness of the
dEolian harp, still to us her acting is the great attrac-
tion, and this for the reason, that although we have
many fine *Aces, we have no singer who, in the highest
sense of the term, has any very great conception of cha•
meter. Indeed there appears to be a tacit agreement in
the public mind that acting in an opera is not only quite
a secondary matter, but that it might be of a perfectly
conventional character, and many of our greatest singers
seem to think that their arms are only necessary as
vocal air-pump handles with which to fetch up the deeper
chest notes; and one is often annoyed by seeing, in the
midst of a scene of intense passion, the arms of the prima
donna swinging mechanically in the air. In Jenny Lind,
on the contrary, every utterance of her transcendant
voice is accompanied by an emotional rather than a
volitional action; in other words, by an involuntary
working of the muscles: and this is the great reason of
the utter absence of effort which distinguishes all her
performances.—People's Journal.
MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 14 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 25.50 ; and the exchange at Paris on Lon-
don at short being 25.45, it follows that gold is 0.20
per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices
from Hamburgh the price of gold is 432 per mark,
which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.8 i;
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being
13.9, it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent. dearer
in London than in Hamburgh.
ORANGE PROCESSIONS.—We regret to learn that
the addresses issued by some of the Orange leaders, urg-
ing the abandonment of party processions, in the present
lamentable state of the country, had been utterly disre-
garded in various districts. In Dungannon, Rathfriland,
Newry, and other places, the Orangemen walked, and riot
and stone-throwing followed as usual. In Tyrone and other
northern counties there are to be large processions, with
the usual accompaniments of banners and party tunes, on
the 12th inst., and considerable alarm is expressed in some
of the letters that have reached us as to the consequences.
This is another lamentable evidence that the demon spirit
of faction is still rampant amongst the Orange Lodges.
The Government, no doubt, will adopt all due precautions
