THE LAST CONCERT.


The second and last concert of Jenny Lind v.as.
If possible, moro magnificent than the first The
bali was more densely filled, and the array of
beauty and splondor fully equal
Both the fair vocalist and Sgnor Belleti were In
their best vein and executed their parts with great
spirit. Almost every piece Enthusiastically en-
cored. The " Echo Song" which was not in the
programme, loudly called for, and received
with rapturous applause
Mr.. Clay was again received with the loud ac-
claim of welcome. So also the President. Mr..
Webster, General Foote, Mr.. Crittenden, and a
number of other distinguished gentlemen arrived
at a late hour, and were greeted with manifesto
ton of the most intense enthusiasm. We did not
see General Cass, but upon the announcement of
his name the applause was truly doafening. Indeed,
the opportunity presented Of greeting the great and
honored men OF our nation formed no inconsidera-
BILE feature in the entertainment Of the evening.
The song Of " Hail Columbia was thought,
for the first time sung II should be. The audience
appeared unable TO control the mseves, under its
influence. As soon il was terminated, Mr. Web
ster rose and in truly dignifcd and expressive
manner, bowed bis Acknowledgements for the graft
hcaton IL bad afforded him. The lovely vocalist
returned bis courtesy amid immense applause
and she bore from the stage mementoes Of her
triumph, number Of exquisite boquets that had
been presented 20 her.
We, Of course, will not essay even an outline de-
scripton Of the vivid and thrilling scenes The
effect Of the music Of Jenny Lind can in no sense
be appreciated by those who have not heard the
melody Of her warblings, and the richness, the
beauty, the impressive grandeur presented by her
audience cannot be more successfully portrayed.
CRIMINAL CouRT.-Hsrrict johnson, colored
woman, was yesterday convicted OF having made
murderous assault, with intent TO kill, upon Thos.

twenty eight years, was convicted Of cruelty and

GIVE AND TAKE.-Two aminble young ladies
were brought before Squire Dom yesterday, upon
two warrants against each, issued at the instance
OF themselves against each other The Squire heard
the cases patiently, and sustained the accusations
expressed in all the warrants, and put both the fair
angels in for costs and security to keep the peace
The position Of the magistrate reminded us Of that
Of very polite gentleman who happened to be
present when the term puppy" was responded to
by the epithct Of "scoundrel." "Gentlcmen, gen
tlomen," he exclaimed, edo not quarrel, for know
you, and will pledge my word for the veraoity Of
both"

CURED at a negro house the Island the Long
Bridge, in viii oh a woman and two en-

at first thought, but il appears that dsrkics do not
die Of such slight affections a knile-wipe
the iugular The wounded man taken care Of
by the surgeons, the hero Of the fray by the police.
We do not know who is 70 take Of the woman,
who is no doubt the biggest devil Of them all.
