which must intervene till the completion of the building.
After her return from Fishkill. she will probably spend
two or three days at Iranistan, Mr. Barnuni's residence,
near Bridgeport, Connecticut.
We are glad to announce that the tickets for each con-
cert will be sold at auction, though there will no doubt be
a par rate established for the remaining seats, after all the
most desirable have been disposed of. The time and
place of giving the first concert has not yet been deter-
mined, but we may safely anticipate hearing the famous
vocalist within two weeks. . _ _

Having now given all the necessary particulars of these
interesting events, we will chronicle a few facts connected
with the voyage of the steam-ship across the Atlantic to
New York. For the first three or four days the weather
was exceeding stormy, and all hands were more or less
sick, not excepting Mademoiselle, who, however, was
among the first to shake off the nauseous effects of her
introduction to Neptune's domain. On the 23d we
encountered a severe gale, which lasted two days, and
which, though retarding our progress greatly, tested the
chip in such a manner as to satisfy all parties that she
stands unrivalled as a sea-boat. At length the wind
abated, and the ocean became smooth. Roses came
again to pale cheeks, and hearts and eyes assumed their
accustomed buoyancy. Evening after evening came, and
with it the dance, in which charming Jenny was sure to
lead off, with all the grace of womanly beauty, and all the
joyousness of merry girlhood. Anon, when the atmos-
phere was too damp, or the sea too rough for these
amusements, then Jenny's sweet and bell-like voice
poured forth the rich melodies of her native Sweden.
True to her nature, and to those pure and holy impulses
which adorn and beautify her character, she at once con-
ceived the idea of getting up a concert for the benefit of
the crew, whose frequent exposure and hardships seemed
to arrest the best and noblest sympathies of her heart.
The bare mention of it was sufficient ; in less than an
hour £7O was subscribed by the passengers, and Jenny
set herself to work to prepare the programme.
The concert opened with a grand duetto on the piano-
forte, by Messrs. Underner, of Albany. New York, and
the great composer, Benedict, in a style little expected
to have been heard on the broad Atlantic.

The singing of Bellet.ti quite astounded all on board.
The singing of Jenny I dare not attempt to describe.
The audience in the grand saloon, which, large as it is,
was crowded with nearly 200 persons, were rivetted to
the spot with wonder and delight. She sang several
times during the concert, and even responded to the (I
was going to say unreasonable) demand for an encore to
that beautiful ballad of -Benedict's, "Take this Lute,"
which, as sung-by Jenny, is almost enough to make one
turn blasphemer, and say she is not human.
A few hours before the time appointed .
one of those thick fogs, so prevalent in these latitudes,
came on, and the captain, ever alert for the care of his
ship, was stationed at the bows, watchir-

with anxious
