CR,rclsss ON JrSSy LiND.-The New
York Courier and Enquirer, Of Wednesday,
devo,es a column and more to very calm
and apparently lmpar,i~l criticism OF Jenny
Lini. The judgmen, expressed now had
been reserved until after the most ample OPP
por,uni,y for forming a correct estimate OF
her pretensions and quality as an arts, was
afforded; and the writer is Of opinion that
while her voice is OF wonderful range and
power, her command over il is equally ex
traordlnary. and her execution faul'Iessly
correct, in mercy mechanical sense, she
vet lacks that faculty Of expression by
which The sentiment OF musical compost
,ion is in erpreled 10 the heart of an audi
ence. The reason assigned for this capital
defect is, ,ha, Mad'ls Lind is essentially
scandinavian in her nature, and, there ore f.,
has not, and never can acquire tha, power
Of vocal u,,eraoce which belongs peculiarly
~ az Italian organization and temperament.
But, the Tribune critic says plumply, "she
is never mechanical, whatever you may say
sbou, wan, of passion" lie also says,
noticing Jenny Lind's performance OF Mo-
zar,'s "Magico Flauto" music, that "shs
harmed to that music" The critic Of the
Courier BAYS i, came from her l;s With q
"coid, un,ouching, icy purity Of tone and
s,y.e."

A Romantic Story is told in Il

A Romantic Story is told in the
English papers Of lovers stra:agem.
A gentleman lost his heart to deaf
and dumb instructess. The lover pass
ed himself off as in the same condition =,
entered the school where the young
lady presided, and learned from her at
the same time the art Of communicate
rg his ideas by the tokens she taught
and his feelings by the tokens in which
even Ovid, with all his genius and
learning, can Re outdone even by a
simple milk-maid. In six months the
romantic swain led the young lady to
the altar; but, when the paper was
handed him to sign, containing the
question" Do you take this woman
to be your true and lawful wife," 81
do" exclaimed the bridegroom, and
the as,onished priest dropped his book
and stood aghast; but the bridegroom
picked it up, and the couple were made
happy.

of sickness of any kind has occurred on
board either of these steamers. They
both stopped a, Acapulco, which place
was as healthy as it ever was.
A dreadful riot had occurred at Sa-
cramento city. 1t appears that case
had been decided in court against the
squaiters, which highly exasPerated
them, and they resolved on forcible
measures.
They armed themselves, and said
they would protect the land which they
had seized, even if blood was spilled
A rio, ensued, and the mayor and sew
eral others, among whom was the city
assessor were mortally wounded.
Besides the wounded there were
nearly dozen reported killed. Mar
,ial law has been proclaimed.
A steamer was dispatched from Sac
ramen,o to Benicia to get the assist
ance of the U. S. forces as the squattcrs
,hreate led to burn the city, which the
passengers by the Philadelphia say they
did.
The news from the mines continues
TO be of the most encouraging nature.
Several Jumps Of gold, weighing from
ten to forty pounds each, had been
found; and at some Of the newly dis
covered placers The yield was from one
to five dollars the painful. We have
conyersed with several Of the passen-
gers Just from California, and they as
