JENNY LIND'S DEPARTURE FOR
ANIERICA.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNIRIDAY.LVVe doubt whether
Jenny Lind, in the whole course cf her unparalleled
career, ever met with a manif,station c f public feel-
ing so grand as that which accompanied her depar-
ture this morning for the 'United States. No sove-

reign, however popular—no conqueror,how ever re-
nowned—no person in any sense the idol of the
people—could have been attended wilt more signiti
cant honours than those which have been accorded to
this gifted artist—honours the more valuable because
so purely and entirely spontaneous.
The head of the police having officially intimated
that if Aldlle. Lind took her departure from the hotel
to the steam• boat at the hour that had been mentioned
in the newspapers, he could not underttle to be
answerable that there might not be some accident, in
cons, quence of the pressure of the crowd, it became
quisite at a late hour on Tuesday night to alter
the previous arrangements, and to keep the new one!
~eoret. At a quarter to eight in the morning, con-
•,iderably more than an hour before the time origi-
nally fixed upon, the modest brougham in which
Jenny Lind has travvrst d this town was drawn up at
the private dour of the Adelphi Hotel, and, without
the tact of her departure being known to any but
the few persons who were connected with the ar•

argerrent, sbe was enabled to leave privately and
without eclat. Mr. Benedict accompanied her in
her carriage, and then followed a couple of hired
vehicles, containing Al. Belletti (who goes with her
to America), M. Vivier, and a few chosen friends,
who were to accompany her on board. It was emus•
ing to see the precautions taken to preserve the incog-
nito of the object of so much attraction. On arriving
at the pier-head, the party were not able to proceed
at once to the small steam-boat hired to carry them
on board the Atlantic, some mistake having been made
in the orders. Thus Mdlle. Lind was obliged to wait
for a few minutes, during which time the' rumour of
her presence spread, and she could not be protected,
even by the police, from the vulgar gaze of a crowd of
persons who surrounded her till she had scarcely
breathing space, and whose rudeness found but a poor
excuse in their natural curiosity. At length the tug-
boat was brought alongside, and Mdlle. Lind and
her friends soon arrived under the lea of the mammoth
steamer which was to bear her to the United States.
The fair voyager seemed in excellent spirits. Mean-
while, the good people of Liverpool, who had been led
to believe that she would not go on board until half-
past 9 or 10 at least, had been slowly but steadily assem-
bling in crowds, to catch a glimpse of her as she em-
barked. Some were waiting at the Adelphi, others at
good points of view on the way, others on the piers
and lining the shores of the Mersey, while many
thousands (we do not exaggerate) crowded the innu-
merable steamers and other craft that were I) ing
about in the river. But she, bad given them all " the
slip," and was safe on the deck of the steamer, bid-
ding adieu to her friends, and striving by her own
exuberance of high spirits to keep up those of her
future compagnons de voyage. At about ten o'clock
a gun from the Atlantic announced that the magnifi-
cent steam-ship was under weigh ; and then, as she
steamed slowly past the town of Liverpool, bearing
nearer the town than to the Cheshire side, one of the
most splendid ovations ever offered to any public per-
son ensued. Salutes were fired from either aide of
the river, which were returned from the bows of the
Atlantic; the broad bosom of the Mersey was crowded
with craft, all bearing their human freight. The
shores were lined with people, and the shouts of
these masses of congregated human beings were
deafening. As the enormous steamer majestically
made her way towards the mouth of the river,
surrounded and followed to an immense distance by
river steamers and small craft, through the lines of
people who were massed on the shore, the whole
formed an aquatic triumphal procession for which we
remember no parallel, except the grand scene in
Portsmouth Harbour on the arrival of Louis Philippe
on his visit to our Queen. As for Jenny Lind, who
had long before taken affectionate leave of the friends
who had accompanied her from the shore, she was to
be seen standing by the side of the captain on the
paddle-box, her petite but graceful form clearly dis-
cernible as she waved her handkerchief in answer to
'he enthusiastic cheers of the assembled thousands.
Surely such a tribute was never yet paid to an artist
in this country.
A silver tea-kettle and two silver candlesticks were
presented yesterday to Jenny Lind, on behalf of the
Southern Hospital—ane wing of which is an archi
tectural emanation from her charming vocal organ,
gratuitously exercised. Mr. Benedict, besides the
testimonial we have already mentioned, was also pre-
sented with a snuff-box' by the committee of the Phil-
harmonic Society.
On Monday night, between the parts of " The
Messiah," an address was presented, in the " green-
room," to Mdlle. Lind, vehich we subjoin :
" To Mdlle. Jenny Lind,—The committee of the Li-
verpool Philharmonic Society cannot allow Mdlle. Jenny
[And to Lite her (they trust) temporary departure item
a country whore her talents have excited so enthusiastic
a sensation, and the kindness f her heart has left so
deep an impression. without assuring htr of thi it beet
wiet 04 fur her health and prosperity during her sojourn
in a distant land.
" Disappointed as they were that circumstances de-
prived them of her powerful assistance at ;he oreuing of
their Hall, they feel much gratified that it has at length
ncen graced by her presence ; and they cannot but
think that it will be an agreeable reminiscence to
Heine. Lied, while floating on the Atlantic, to tcflect
that her last notes in Europe vierated in a Hall :Omitted
to bo as yet unequalled in its beauty and in its general
arrangements, and that her last exertions have been in
behalf of a society unique in its composition and disin-
terested in its objects—a society c imposed sole ly of
lovers of music, who have incurred much pecuniary sa-
entice, and considerable future responsibility, without
the least idea cf profit, but with the sole design of pro-
moting their favourite science, and cultivating the
highest class of musical composition.
The committee, with their best thanks to Mdlle.
Lind for her kindness on the present occasion, beg to
assure her that they feel the warmest interest in her
progress in America, which they are Certain will be as
triumphant as it has been in every country she has as
yet visited, and they take their leave of her with the
hope that, as they have had the pain of witnessing her
departure, so she will give them the pleasure of being the
first to welcome her return to England—a country where
she is so highly horn um! and esteemed.

" Liverpool, August 19, 1850."
This address, it will be seen, would have been in
better taste if there had been less glorification by the
committee of themselves, their society, and their Hall.
It was beautifully written in the usual style, and be-
sides having emblazoned upon it the arms of Liver-
pool, it bore also upon it those of Sweden.

THE BRAZILS.
LIVERPOOL, AUG.
y the arrival of the
Swordfish, Captain Green, from Pernambuco, we
have received advices to the 24th of July-14 days
later than those last received.
Sugar—Business has been on a very small scale
and receipts trifling, owing to the season being wet
and wretched roads. Our nearly nominal quotations
are 1 milrei 800 reis to 2 rnilreis 400 reis for inferior
to middling quality white, which, at 2711. exchange,
is equal to 16,. 34. to 21s. 2d. per cwt ; muscovado
sugar 12s. sd. to 13s. 4d. per cwt.
Exchange—The scarcity of
money and favourable
advices fur cotton have caused an advance in our rate
instead of a dec:ine, which usually takes plsce at this
dull season of the year. During the week a large
business has been done at 27d. to 27+J ; but to-day
small sums have been passed at 27id. for ready cash.
Cotton—Our receipts this Week have been 343
bags, snaking 1,420 since the Ist inst. -In conse-
quence of high prices, and the advance in our ex-
change, this staple has b:en less in demand, and re-
gular first quality is now offered at 6 dolls. 900 ex
commission and freight.
Hides and rum continue as before, and we have no
important transactions to report.-
Freights—The English ship Bonita has engaged a
cargo of Cotton in Maceio, at 11. the Hugh, in the
I.—all fur Liverpool. They w
same port, at 9-161. ; and the Fatima, in Paraiba, at
ilt take about 500 bags.

NARROW E,CAPE FROM DROWNING OF MR.
CHARLES BARRY BALDwix, M.P.—The above gentleman
on Tuesday proceeded by the Gem steamer, for the purpose
of passing a few days with a friend at Purfleet, from which
place a boat was hailed to take him off in the middle of the
river, when, stepping into the boat, he lost his balance and
fell backwards, and the tide being very strong he was car-
ried down a greet distance, and was obliged to swim nearly
half a mile before he could reach the boat, as the boatman
most incautiously threw out one of his oars to assist him, and
thereby rendered himself incapable of directing the boat;
but fortunately Mr. Barry Baldwin, being a good swimmer.
by great good luck came up to the boat in a most exhausted
state, and was providentially saved. He was taken to the
boatman's house, where he was provided with a change of
clothes, tied afterwards joined bis fiends. .The means fur
his recovery were successfully used, and he has felt little or
no ill effects from the untoward accident.
GRAVESEND, THURSDAY MORNING.—THE MAGIS-
TRATES A.ND Title Poem. A grand ball and concert was ad-
vertised to be given on the Terrace-pier on Friday evening,
the whole of the proceeds of which were to be placed in the
handy; of the magistrates, to be by
.them distributed among
the poor people who have lost their property by the late fire.
A committee of gentlemen had been formed, end numerous
subscriptions made among the visitora to the town, in order
to enlarge the sum expected to be realised, but owing to the
interferenceof some of the religious magistrates, a placard was
circulated this morning announcing that the proposed ball
one of the gentlemen going the length of
would not take place, in consequence of the great opposition
of the magistrates,
openly asserting, at a meeting held at the Town-ball, " that
money obtained from such a source could not possibly benefit
the poor." We trust that as the magistrates of Gravesend
are 'actuated by such pure and charitable feelings, they will
practice what they preach, and take care the poor people
are not losers by their Christian proceedings.— r,
