was in every re.pscs az complete triumph as she

filing the vast amphthester to the topmoatciroiea
OF the gallery. The sight OF that dense sea Of
heads from either extremity OF the balcony, re-
minded us Of one OF Martins grand, gloomy pc
turep, and the resemblance was further increased
BIZ the senioriental appearance OF the Hall, with
its long, light pillars dropping from the center az
well as by the dimness Of It's illumination the
lamps, many snd bright as they were, beiag lost
in the immense area Of the building
The audience did not gather go early by an hour
as on Wednesday night, the admirable arrange
menss outside and inside obviating the necessity OF
taking the seats two hours in advance. The
crowd about the outer gate was very small and
no dhturbence Of any hind occurred. Carriages
did not enter the Battery grounds on the former
occasion and much trouble was avoided in conse-
ouence. Inside, there was quite rush to take
possession OF the forfeited seats, when O'Clock ar
rived. The movement was too coon, however.
and a number who arrived tvo or three minutes
before the boar, claimed their places. One Of the
ushers then announced thas holders OF tickets
would retain their right to the seats till the close OF
the frat overture, and shose who had taken them
would be obliged to give way But twas TOO late
for that night. The plan is good one, neyerthe
less, and ahould be adopted for succeeding concerts
The Concert was repetition of the frat, with
the only difference that the Orchestra volunteered
the w eddiDg March, from Mendelssohns "9ld

blaze of harmony received fall justcetrom the sure

the composition is fine specimen of musical

to that place and audience.
In JENNY LIND, we ntill feel that it is not easy
to Sc arate the singer from the person. She sings
heraelf She does not, like many shilful vocalsss,
merely recite her musical studes, and dazzle you
with splendid fests unnsturaily acquired; her
singing, through all her versatile range of parts
and styles, is her own proper and spont&ne
Gus actvity-integra and whole. Her magnificent
voice, always true and firm, and as far be
yond any instrument as humanity is beyond
nature, seems like the audible beauty o.
her nature and her character. That she ia an
artist in the highest sense is question long since
settled and any little Incidental variation from the
bold and perfect outline Of success in any special
effort, as the fateriDg OF her voice from natural
embarrassment in the commencing of Casta D!o0
that first night, could not to true listener at al
impede the recognition of the wonderful art which
could afford little to humanity on so trying al oc
casion. For she was as itwere beginning her career
anew ; literally to her was this new world; and
abe felt for q moment asifi in her frat blushng maid

the voice in that commencem ent was not felt. TIE
