Jenny Lind.

This day the Swedish Nightingale bids a tenn.
porary adieu TO Europe winging her way across
the Atlantic TO gladden. the American heart by her
matchIem gin Of song, And, although it is now
nearly month to the time fixed for her frat ap.
pearance in the New World, we offer few sug-
gestions intended to conduoe to the more general
and satisfactory enjoyment OF her melody.
We hear that urgent applications have been
made and are medtsted TO engage her to sing one
or more nights in Albany, New Haven, Hartford
&c. and very large sums are offered for such en-.
gsgements. We trust they will not be accepted.
Mr.. Barnum has paid a very large amount to in
duce her to visit US, and we presume everybody
desires that he should receive 1t all back, with a
generous allowances for his outlay risk and trouble,

q manner as 10 give the People who must pay the
largest measure Of enjoyment for their money.
Now, If Nile. LIND 10 to sing night in New
Haver, another in Hartford, &c. in such Halls a
those cities can now boast, beside the extra fatigue
and discomfort imposed on the Songsress by con-
tinua travel, il s manifest that the prices at which
tickets must be sold to make the engagement
profitable one must be exorbitsnt-M leait four
times as high a. they need be here But il it be
understood that abe is to sing in this City So long
as shal be necessary TO give all who desire it o2.
portunity to hear her, the cost OF tickets for the
great majority will inevitably be far more mod.

now being constructed in our City, SIS per ticket
will yield larger nightly income than $40 PEI

every one within two hundred miles has or can find
business that will pay him 10 visit our City once in
the course Of year, and at no time so readily a.
in the business season Of Autumn, when our lnsti-
tute Fair and other extra inducements TO visiters
are in vogue. We urge therefore, that II the con.
