MADAME JENNY GOLDSCIIMLDT-LIND.

Madame Jenny Lind sang the sopran'c► part in
"Elijah" for the F•ecand tune last night, atril with all
that extraordinary power and beauty which we have
already described. It is scarcely necessary to add
that she was enthusiastically applauded. The con-
tralto, tenor, and second soprano parts were (entrusted,
as on an previous occasion, to Miss Dolby, Mr.: Lockey,
and Miss Messent, who discharged their various duties
zealously and successfully. The only solo piece rede-
inanded was the air " 0 ! rest in the Lord," bountifully
rendered by Miss Dolby. The other encore was elicited
by the trio "Lilt thine eyes," exquisitely sung by Ma-
dame Jenny Lind, Miss Messent, and Miss Dolby. The
part of the Prophet was admirably supported by Mr.
Weiss, and Mr. Benedict conducted the orchestra with
great skill and energy. The hall was quite full.
