counts Of her appearance and reception
The n. y. Sun on Mondy, says;
Not until the FIST gun ffem the Allan
&c doomed heavily over the hay, Yesterday
afternoon, could probably surmise have
been made as to the real interest felt by
our citizens in the arrival Of Jenny Land,
the appropriately called Swedish Night
incale but within thirty minutes from
,hat moment we might we'll have written
New York down as "JeRny mad. -
The Jenny Lind mania, so much talked
ofin London, Liverpool, and other cities,
has certainly taken deep root in New
York, and. but for The dissertation OF the
dav, inevitable connected with an ARRIVAL
on the Sabbath, the root has taken under
the most favorabie possible auspices
The talk of months, and the excitement
caused BY the Observation-Disclosures
with which MISS Lind has been received
il other countries, are as nothing IN COM
parison with the elnpreSSment with which
thousands FASTENED to the steamers land
ing, on being apprized that she was COM
ing up the Bay.
When the Atlantic reached her wharf
the streets in the vicinity, for at least a
bIuck. were crowded, and vast accessiOns
were being constantly made, whilst the
decks and rigging of the neighboring yes
sells were black with persons ANXIOUS TO
get the first glimpse of one who as yet,
has been the admired of all admirers.
Some preparations had been made 10 wei
come the fair songsuess. The long pier
was decked with beautiful flowers, flags,
and eyergreens, "Welcome TO the Night
jngale," and Jenny Lind welcome to A
merlca," being very appropriately inter-
woven among them.
A line of mating from the gang,way TO
new and very pretty carriage, expressly
provided for Miss Lind's use during her
STAY in the country, had also been lad
down, and many other little arrangements
made evinclng considerable taste. A tenn
porarv gate had been erected across the
pier 10 keep back the crowd until after the
debarcaton was complete.
When all was ready, Capt. West ap--
peared escorting Miss Lind, and, followed
by Benedict aud Belief, who accompany
her professionally, and also by MIR. Bar
nun, who had boarded the steamer ct
Quarantine, proceeded to the carriage
.-leafenipg shouts ofwelcome and applause
in which the passengers and crew on me
steamer Joined. and a shower oil beautiful
boouets, marking the rapid transit. The
carriage was then driven rapidly TO the
Irving House, attended by an immense
concourse, and not less than fifty thousand
persons assembled there sOon alter It's ar
rival. endeavoring, by prolonged cheers,
10 induce Jenny's appearance at the VIII
dow of her parlor. Many even spent the
greater part Of the afternoon IN front oil
the Holel, reluctantly finding their way
home at nighhall.
Such was the arrival of Jenny Lind.
Whether she is worthy Of il, and, whe-
tber the expectations Of millions who are
soon TO hear her will be realized, are pro-
biems which the future only can solve.
We are at loss to know what Will be-
come of scores of poor fools who seemed
beside themselves merely on being III,
formed that the occurrence here recorded
was in prospect. They cannot do less
than 90 mad now, certainly; and We c.
Dine that MANY sober head will be some
what turned.
Ibe same paper speaks Of the appear
ance of the nightingale as follows:
,,~she rocked remarkably well, and al,
,nough not possessed of great personal
leantv. her features are very regular, and
she is very prepossessing IN appearance:
She wore pale blue silk bonnet, covered
with lace. Slate colored dress, covered
with r,mp. and brown brOad-cloth cloak,
faced with velvet.
