and enjoys the most untarnished reput alton for
lady-lke elevation OF character, and modesty of
demeanor
No lady ever appeared on the stage whose per-
formances more chaste and dignifed, than
those of Jenny Lnd-her power of making the
hearers forget every thing around them but her
quers, but the conquered hearts are willing pri-
soners From the first tone to the last she sings
with the greatest precision. She sings like the
nightingale, that is born to sing and knows no
other pleasure The richness of her voice, its
youthful freshness and volubility, her delicate
standings in the transitions, all speak the soul.
Her tones are like flames-they penetrate and
warm; they are pure as silver, and seem to breathe
forth her very spirit. The giant exertions are
performed with the creates ease-she finds MOTH
ing too difficult, she knows not that difficulty
exlsts--with bodness that surprises, she enters
labyrinths, and springs over chasms that would
cause another to start back. AS actress, she
has few equals her grace, sylph-like form and
expressive eye, are heightened by brilliant fam
cy, tender sensibility, and critical powers of con-
ception. On the stage, she walks a queen, and
in her whole existence she stands alone-without
imitation and initiating not. She is equal only to
herself.
Let us turn the leaf, and pay a moments atten-
ton to movement that is becoming almost con-
tinental. The cry is, still they come-every thing
IN Germany that can move towards the United
States, with the hope Of an improved condition,
is on its winding way. The railroad companies
| run extra trains towards the seaports, to convey
emigrants; the wagoncrs are overwhelmed with
stock, dead and alive, all vending its way to the
western world, and the shipping agents are not
| unfrequently obliged to support the emigrants in
the sea-ports for several weeks, while waiting for
vessels. The directors OF companies for the con-
veyance of cmigrants to America, contract with
them to remove them from their very doors to the
place OF destination; and the business has be-
come so profitable, account Of its extent as to
be driven with the full blast OF opposition One
party warns the adventurers, in hand bills, not to
20 to Texas or Tennessee-another depicts all the
horrers that await those who connect their for
tunes with the company for Brazil ; while third
lashes itself into fury at the idea that any set of
men could be so reckless as to form company to
entice the poor wanderers to the mosqu ito coast
of the febrile zone" The faults of one place and
the merits Of another, however, are generally
depicted by men OF principle according to tkeir
interest. l sincerely hope that every emgrant
that reaches our shores may meet with happy
home and prosperous career; but the whole
movement has become feverish, and is by no
means to be regarded an actual proof of aest-
tuition and suffering at home.
The most distinguishing trait in the character
OF the Germans is that OF an uncomfortable pro-
pensity to wander Go where you will into for
eign lands, you find them, if civilization has
reached the spot. You meet them in crowds as
residents of St. Petersburg and Paris, Greece, the
shores of Africa, or the whole range of the Wes-
tern world. These remarks are more applicable
to the North Germans; but whole, the entire
race may be said to possess no nationality, being
| ready to take up their quarters with any people
with whom chance may bring them in contact.
1t was announced in Central Germany some
months ago, that Transylvans, on the southern
confines OF Austria, was not very thickly populated,
and presented an dadvantageous for those
went there soon became numerous that the
Austrian government issued proclamation, put
ting stop to the movement; and destitute and
desperate parents now selling their children
in the chief towns Of Hungary to obtain the
means to return.
This would seem to argue so great density OF
population in the North as to render it almost inn
hR nhrN fnnfS
but the argument is refuted by the fact that some
OF the RUSSIAN provinces on the Baltic Sea are
nearly depopulated.
The position of poor Austria at the present mo-
ment is rather calculated to excite sympathy; the
other States oil Europe seem to think her fine
game, and are continually engaged in firing OFT
their small arms at her, interspersed occasionally
with regular broadsides from heavy pieces
Much of this hue and cry is raised to drown the
warnings OF the guilty consciences of those who
are engaged in IT, and this is particularly the case
with Prussia In relation to the late Polish diff
culties, the Prussan journals take every opportu-
nifty to blaZon to the world the mildness of the
proceedings of their officers towards the insur-
ents, and are horror struck at the barborous cru
| city practised by the Austrian government. Dur
| ing the revolt, Prussia suffered the agonies of
death in her fears. eat hour her officers
| all to be poisoned-at another, her soldiers were
| to be decmated. Still Prussia never relaxed in
her motherly kindness towards Poland, while no
CRIME is bad enough to be ascrbed to Austria. 1t
was she that paid the price for heads and hearts
| it was she that secretly provoked the revolt, and
gloried in the opportunity to decimate the Polish
mobiles The question is, would Prussia not have
done the same as Austria, had she been placed in
| the same circumstances =! However, Austria
bears all the blame of the late revolution, and
she stands still and lets the storm rage, with
scarcely an effort to defend herself Indeed, she
is not used to poemcs in calmer times, and is,
therefore, not at all capable of stepping into the
| field at the present moment. In the line of dis
cussion her journalists are children. They are
allowed to discuss nothing at home, and, for want
| Of practice, are entirely too weak to face an
| enemy from abroad.
Austria has one means of redress which she is
beginning to use freely greatly to irritate the
| wound of her northern neighbors, and cause
them to cry out more Justify than ever. One OF
the most extensive publishers in LEIPZIG is said to
have lately issued a pamphlet, which places Aus
tria in no very favorable light towards her daugh-
ter, Hungary; showing up many little whims of
the mother. The result is, that the latter has
hurled a sweeping anathema against the said es-
adjustment, forbdding entrance into the Aus
trian dominions to every work published by It,
and calling on the border officers to redouble
their vigilance in their searching duties
This is doing business by the wholesaler and
if the same principle should be carried out to-
wards all the offenders who publish pamphlets
not very favorable to Austria and her policy, the
book business here will soon decrease, and the
Austrian terati will be obliged to increase their
diligence in the production of home manu- fac
lures, to make up for the embargo laid on foreign
articles. However, forbidden fruit is always
sweet; ana Tue very circumstance THAT nesc
publications sufficiently piquant to excite the
attention of the government is proof positive to
the free-thinking portion Of the public that they
are worth reading-and they are Struggled in at
all hazards. .. L. q.
