JENNY LIND IN BOSTON.

The American papers are still filled with glowing•re-
ports of the progress of Madlle. Lind through thetates.
The enthusiasm is,even still on the increase, and at Bos-
ton, where the Nightingale is at present, the inhabitants
seem determined to outvie their brethren in New York in
manifestations of *delight and regard. Miss Lind sailed
from the latter port, for Boston, in the steam-ship
Empire State, which was magnificently fitted up .for her
reception, and on her departure she was hailed with
thunders of applause. She is represented as astonished
and delighted with everything she saw. Everywhere
along the river the people assembled in thousands, and
expressed their friendly feelings. On her landing, and
along the railway, she was similarly received. At the
station the utmost anxiety wasevinced to obtain the merest
glimpse of her, and " when the train started several per
sons clung to it, and one man was very near being injured."
At every point on the road the same enthusiastic feeling
was displayed. 'On coming in view of Boston " she was
captivated with its appearance," and on leaving the train
she was taken in a carriage to Revere House, where ele-
gant apartments were provided for her; she was imme-
diately waited on by the Mayor and a few of the leading
inhabitants who offered to this excellent Roman the usual
fulsome adulations about her " superhuman musical en-
dowments, &c." She is said to have been deeply affected,
and afterwards to have " designated a seat to each of the
party, and selected her own beside the handsomest man
in the room !"

At the first auction for tickets the following is the re-
port of the biddings for the first ticket:— _

• " Now, gentlemen, bow much for the first ?" "Two hun-
dred and fifty dollars," says Mr. Hale. "Pretty good
for the first bid," cries a spectator—followed by applause.
This was followed by a bid of .8275 "and my hat," from Mr.
Fetridge, of 15, State-street; but the bid had hardly escaped
his lips, when t was followed by another of 4300. ".11325,"
sang out Fetridge. " 8350 and a guitar," cried Dodge; 8400
from a stranger ; 8425 by Mr. Allen ; 5475 chimes in Mr. Fet-
ridge; 8500 from an unknown individual ; 43'600, cries Mr.
Gleason, of the Flag of our Union newspaper; (loud applause)
"going I going who says six-fifty? going ! who says it ?"
" $625," says Dodge, in a clear and distinct voice, which in-
creased the applause. "Six hundred and twenty-five dollars,"
says the auctioneer, "nothing at all to pay for hearing Jenny

Lind." (laughter), "and sold to Ossian I. Dodge, vocalist."
Mr. Dodge selected seat No. 556, which is located nearly in the
centre of the hall. This announcement was followed by thun-
ders of applause, with cries of "show him up"—" up with him"
—"Dodge"—" a song, a song." &c. Mr. Dodge got upon a
seat for a moment, and was .greeted with cheers. After the
noise bad subsided somewhat, the next ticket, with the right
of choice to a whole slip, was put up, and sold to Mr. Hale,
who selected but one seat, for .8'24 premium."
The receipts at the first concert were about 29,000 dol-
lars. The following letter, dated Boston, 28th Sept.,
gives a report of the Nightingale's reception on her first
appearance publicly in that town, and of the auction for
the second concert
"It was a splendid triumph. The house was filled in every
spot. There were two. thousand six hundred and four persons
present. Bore thi
highly intellectual

and the enthusiasm was far

mad with excitement. Jenny Und's simce

thing else is talked of. The city is on fire—not a mere flash in
the pan, but a steady, bright blaze. The auction, to-day, for
tickets for the next concert, was most exciting. The Tremont
Temple was filled with people, and no single seats were sold till
eleven o'clock. They sold in slips or blocks of about ten seats
each, and after that from one slip to ten slips, or from ten seats
to one hundred. The first slip was sold to Pirsson, at eight
dollars and a half per seat ; next, sixty seats, at eight dollars
each ; and then the price ruled from seven and a half down to
six

seven dollars. The first choice, of one slip to ten, was sold at
six dollars and seventy-five cents, and the second at six dollars
and twenty-five cents, which is the lowest price, as yet. The
Revere House and Tremont House purchased most of the first

morrow night, in Tremont Temple."

The accounts received by the Canada steam-ship bring
word that this extraordinary lady had visited the Cam-
bridge Observatory (where a vain effort was made to dis-
cover a planet specially in honor of her call,) and subse-
quently received a visit from the governor of the state and
the executive council; her reception-of whom was cour-
teous, whilst her conversation was philosophical as regards
her gifts and charitable as regards her poorer fellow-crea-
tures. Her concerts continued' to be crowded, and the
enthusiasm was " tremendous." She had engaged with
Barnum to visit London, at the " World's Fa'r,' in June
next, and the remainder of her eighty nights of song in
the United States would be devoted to New York, New
Orleans, and it is added, Havana. She sang, on the 30th,
at a rehearsal, and was "quite indignant" at the multi-
tude present. Mr. Dodge, the £125 donor for the first
ticket, had received public honours at the concert-hall on
first appearing. We find in the journals the following
excellent " Jenny-gram" relative to the hatter who bought
the first ticket in New York. It is beaded " Genin's
Motive". :

" Don't fancy there is any revealing
Of a heart that could easily melt ;
It wasn't a matter of feeling,
But merely a matter of felt !"

MONUMENT TO CHRISTOPHER COLUMBPS.—A tardy
justice, it seems, is to be rendered to the memory of this
great man, even in his native country. Two of the first
men of Spain have taken the lead in this enterprise, we
mean Messrs. Martinez de la Rosa and Salvador Bermu-
dez, both known as men of letters and liberal politicians.
A subscription has been started for that purpose, which is
fast receiving the names of persons of every rank. The
situation for the colossal monument has been most appro.
priately chosen on an elevated spot of the port of Palos de
Magner, opposite the convent of S. Ann, whence Colum-
bus started on his first adventurous expedition for the
new world. The plans and designs for the monument
will be subject to a competition of all Europe, and Mr.
Bermudez will undertake an especial trip to England for
those purposes. The preliminary arrangements hint at a
colossal statue of twenty feet high, and of groups -
rounding it, forming a base of 40 feet in circumference
The statue to be of the finest Florentine bronze, and the
pedestal of reddish granite. The lowest estimate of the
Columbus monument is £20,000. As the brother of
Columbus long dwelt in London as an agent of Christo-
pher's for the purpose of proposing the plan to Henry
VII., there is some ground for sympathy here in the
monument to the memory of the great discoverer.—
Architect.

EMILY SANDFORD.—The Adelaide papers give the fol-
lowing detail of an attack upon Miss Emily Sandford,
whose unhappy connexion with Rush, the murderer, is
doubtless in the recollection of the public :—Mr. R. W.
Bennett, a resident in Adelaide, was charged at the police
court with threatening the life of Miss Sandford. The
case at the request of the Bishop of Adelaide (Dr. Short),
who has acted as guardian to the unfortunate woman
since her arrival in the colony, was gone into privately,
the local reporter being excluded. " The nature of the
charge," says the Adelaide Times, " implied numerous
threats held out by the defendant, declaring that if she
did not pay him money he had advanced her brother he
would blow her brains out, and his conduct was so violent
that she apprehended he would carry out his threat. Her
brother, who accompanied her to the colony, lost his life
at Port Philip a few days after her arrival. During his
stay the defendant, ascertaining he was in want of money
to discharge some debts that he had contracted, advanced
him the amount, the defendant asserting that he did so
on her security. This Miss Sandford denied. She knew
nothing of the affair, until Mr. Bennett made the demand
upon her. The defendant, in answer to the charge, per-
sisted that he advanced the money to her brother on her
security. He had waited on her several times, but the
only reply he could get from her was, ' Well, sir, is that
all ?' He was so exasperated at her conduct that he cer-
tainly made use of harsh words and threatened to shoot
her. The magistrates bound the defendant over in heavy
securities to keep the peace towards Miss Sandford for six
months."

ANIMAL MAGNETISM.—The Gazette des Tribimaux
has the following story :—" Two fellows went three days
ago to a famous restaurant, called the Grotte do Calypso,
at the Barriere Belleville. As they took their repast they
got into conversation with the mistress, who soon told
them a full account of the death of her husband, of the
state of her business, and all her little secrets. Presently
they began talking of animal magnetism, and astonished
the poor woman by their wonderful stories of the miracu-
lous cures effected, and crimes discovered by its means.
To satisfy her curiosity one of the men, who pretended to
be a magnetic sujet, allowed himself to be put into a
trance by the other, who represented himself as a regular
magnetiser. The man in the trance astounded the poor
woman by telling her a good deal about herself—nearly
all of which, by the way, she had previously told them.
The woman now wanted to be put in a trance herself.
One of the men accordingly tightly bandaged her eyes,
and the others made passes over her. She felt herself by
no means affected, but the men kept talking incessantly
to her and telling her that she would soon be in a trance.
One of them meanwhile quietly opened the drawers of the
room and possessed himself of money, jewels, silver
spoons and forks, and a savings bank book, They at last
went away, but not without telling the woman that she
must remain seated nearly half an hour in her chair with
her eyes bandaged, lest the magnetic fluid should escape.
She did so, but when at last she got up she discovered
that she had been robbed. She accordingly laid a com-
plaint before the commissary of police, and from the de-
scription she gave of the men that functionary recognised
them as well-known thieves. He caused them to be
arrested, and the greater part of the booty was found at
their lodgings.
MR. &mu O'llatzkw.—A friend of Mr. Smith O'Brien
has forwarded to us a letter just received from that petu-
lant puppy, in•which he maunders and moans in his usual
strain about the disagreeableness of the position he has
chosen for himself in Van Diernates Land. Mr. Smith
O'Brien is one of those people who make their own bed,
and refuse to lie in it. When in patiiament he made his
bed in the coal hole, and was very uneasy. He then got
up a rebellion, and quarrelled with the consequences.
Having earned a halter by every law, human and divine,
he spurned the mercy. of his Sovereign, and insisted on
being hung, for mere obstinacy and spite. Arriving at
Van Diemen's Land with his confederates, he refused a
ticket of leave, and doggedly determined to be a prisoner.
Now: a prisoner is a prisoner, and there is no way what-
ever in which a person who refuses his parole, and defies
his keepers, can be kept in custody without a rather irk-
some degree of restriction and surveillance. In Mr.
O'Brien's case all the authorities of the island have been
at work to make his position as comfortable as his folly
and the rules of safe-keeping would allow. Mr. O'Brien
himself admits-7" Considered as a prison, Maria Island
is as little objectionable as any other spot that could be
chosen. The scenery is picturesque, and the local officers
have been as kind as they could venture to be under the
inhuman regulations laid down for their guidance by the
Comptroller-General. I am, therefore, rather sorry to
learn that this station will soon be broken up." Our lit-
tle Napoleon does not tell us what these inhuman regula-
tions are, but we have no doubt they amount to the occa-
sional night of a policeman, and, now land then, a bayonet,
a rather limited promenade, a prohibition of mass meet-
ings, and some check upon Mr. O'Brien's constitUtional
appetite fin conspiracy and pike-heads.—Times,

IRELAND,

_____ 4-

The magistrates •of Garvagh, Ireland, have fined a
Roman Catholic priest. X 1 10s. for horsewhipping a ser-
vant girl very severely, because she was " unwilling to
harbour certain females that his reverence was in the
habit of a3sociating,with."

Deplorable accounts have been received from the county
Kerry, where intense distress has been caused by the
almost total failure of the potato crop in some parts, espe-
cially in the district lying between Kenmare and Killarney
and Distowel. The failure is nearly as general and disas-
trous as in 1846, the first year of the famine.
At the half-yearly meeting of the Dublin and Kings-
town Railway Company, in Dublin, on Saturday, the
directors report, stating that though the receipts were
£3,302 less than on the half-year of her Majesty's visit,
the amount applicable for dividend was a few pounds
more than at that period, was unanimously adopted.

. .
A weaver, of Carmos-on-the-Hills, county of Down,
was at his work, yesterday week, when a gun was protru-
ded through the window, and the poor weaver was shot
through the heart. He had received several threatening
letters because he had taken a small farm from which a
non-paying tenant had been evicted. _

BALI.INASLOE FAlR.—This fair has been going on dur-
ing the last week. The cattle fair was a failure. The
correspondent of. Saunders' says—'` From whatever cause,
I am sorry to tell you that the fair was a bad one—a
drooping and a cheerless one. Some good and large lots
changed hands early, but an immense number returned
to their pastures, not without an offer, but the owners
not being enabled to get anything near rent-paying
figures, preferred trying the country fairs ; this is hoping
against hope, for the Ballinasloe fair invariably rules, or
rather makes the prices for the succeeding fairs."

The Bishop of London has presented his nephew, the
former curate of Romford, to the living of Lannton, va-
cated by Mr. Allies.

A commission has been issued by the Bishop of Salis-
bury against a very eminent clergyman of his diocese.
The offences alleged are of a most serious description.
The Archdeacon of Bristol, Dr. Thorp, President of the
Bristol Church Union, from which Mr. Palmer seceded,
has ceased to be examining chaplain of the Bishop of
Gloucester.

The Bishop of Durham has refused his license to a curate
whom he had formally accepted, but he declines to state
any reason for his act. This question will, it is under-
stood, become a matter for legal investigation.
The royal commision to the universities commenced its
sittings yesterday ; it is the intention of the commission-
ers to examine the Bishop of Oxford, Messrs. Gladstone
and R. Palmer, M.P., Dr. Goulbourn, and Dr. Pusey,
amongst others.
REV. CANON TREVOR.—The path of this gentleman
seems still to be beset with difficulties. The Church
Burgesses of Sheffield seem determined not to pay him
his salary, and counsel's opinion is to be taken. In the
meantime his friends have invited him to a public meet-
ing, to welcome his coming amongst them.
The Rev. George Dugard, MA., Barnard Castle, has
been appointed by the Bishop of urham to an honorary
canonry in the cathedral church of Durham, his lordship
thereby expressly marking his approbation of the worthy
clergyman's exertion in the cause of humanity when the
cholera was ravaging his parish.
Mr. Mercer Connelly, eldest son of the Rev. Pierce
Connelly, has at length followed the example of his fa-
ther, and returned to the bosom of the Church of England,
A work upon the Jesuits, by the celebrated Isaac Taylor
of Ongar, is said to have had a large share in his happy
conversion.

CONVOCATION.—At the dinner which succeeded the
visitation of the Bishop of Chichester, held at Lewes, on
Tuesday week, his lordship said :---" It may be interesting
to you to learn that, if a synod of the church be assembled
in convocation or otherwise, it is the unanimous opinion
of the whole bench of bishops, without a single exception
—I repeat it, without a single exception—that there
should be a considerable infusion of the lay element in its
constitution."

CAMBRIDGE, OCT. 10.—The annual election to the
vacant fellowships in Trinity College was decided yester-
day morning in favour of the following gentlemen :
Berry, 8.A., 1848, 30th Wrangler, 11th Classic ; Davies,
8.A., 1848, 36th Sen. Opt.. sth Classic; Vaughan, 8.A.,
1848, 24th Sen. Opt., 6th Classic; Edwards, 8.A., 1849,
sth Wrangler; Elwyn, 8.A., 1849, 14th Jun. Opt., Ist
Classic • Thrupp, 8.A., 1849, 7th Wrangler, 11th Classic.
The whole number of candidates at the examination was
twenty-nine.
OPINION OF DR. MARSH IN RE GORHAM v. BISHOP
OF EXETER.—" If common sense, if common law,
if common justice be the judge, there never was
a sentence delivered from the mouth of man more just,
more perfect, more complete, than that which has recently
been given by the Judicial Committee. He hoped if mis-
taken views on the one hand, or turbulent spirits on the
other, should render it needful, that the common sense of
the people of England would come forward and stand by
the Queen, by the judges, by the principles of the reform-
ers, by the true Church of England."
THE CHURCH IN WALES. —The Bishop of Llandaff has
just issued a pastoral letter to his clergy, in which he states
that in a letter addressed to his lordship by the Venerable
the Archdeacon of Llandaff, it appears that 17 parishes in
Glamorganshire, containing 104,124 inhabitants, have
church room only for 7,416. In 13 parishes in Mon-
mouthshire, in which there are 81,152 persons, church
room is provided only for 10,696. The population of
Merthyr Tydvil amounts to 50,000, with accommodation
only for 2,500 ; that of Bedwellty to 22,413, with provi-
sion only for 2,000. The number of clergymen labour-
ing in these populous parishes is lamentably dispropor-
tionate to the exigencies of the case.
APPEAL BY THE REV. G. A. DENISON.—The Rev.
George Anthony Denison, M.A., vicar of East Brent,
the leader in the recent educational movement of the
High Church party. has published " An Appeal to the
Clergy and Laity of the Church of England, to combine
for the Defence of the Church, and for the Recovery of
her Rights and Liberties," in which, after remarking on
the present state of affairs, he observes :—" The Church
must set her own seal upon a great system of agitation,
because it is plainly written upon the wall that if she do
not she will shortly die. Churchmen must combine
throughout the length and breadth of the land. There
has been such a thing without the pale of the Church as
a solemn league and covenant. I am not afraid to say
that there must be an analogous combination now within
the pale of the Church. The great object of the Church's
league and covenant must be the immediate restoration
of her synodal action. So soon as this is attained and
placed upon sure ground, let all irregular action and com-
bination at once cease and determine: till it is attained
and placed upon sure ground, let the whole land be filled
with both—let it be a reproach to a parish that it does
not agitate."
