REMARKABLE ARREsT-What an inAexible
old Dogberry is that same public fellow, Lawl
1t becomes our duty, as chronicers of passing
ahings, to notice one of the most audacious tricks
chat even that audacioos fellow ever performed
no less than the formal arrest OF one whose per-
son is generally supposed TO enjoy such immu-
nifty from contact with vulgar courts and every
day life as angels would be entitled to. 1t IS
hardly credible that tpstati would care to de.
anand the pres ence Of Jenny Lind anywhere out
of the hearts of the people; bat such is the fact,
@nd it fell out in this wise In the course OF en-
gagng auxiliary harmony at some place where
abe immortal Swede was present, the Goddess OF
Dscord came close upon the heels OF the
fading echoes of Song, and disagreement among
eomc chorus singers grew into obstinacy, OBJ
Btinacy into spunk, and spunk commenced a
suit at law for something-probably damages.
One of our well known city leaders lot orches-
&ras) was party, and in his belief that beloved
Jenny could throw some light upon the subject, us
phe does upon everything that comes within
sight of her glorious face, he procured and served
"a summons for her to attend as witness. Now
Jenny has the wisdom to know very little OF that
proverbial stupidity called Common Law, aud she
forgot all about the summons being too busIly en-
gagged in perusing epistles of far different char
acter aud in planning and executing schemes Of
5enevolence, to trouble herself with. The
estate of New.York, County of New York,
S." OF course she failed to appear and the plain
7ii's and defendants were disappointed, and the
court officers quite rs much so, for they had set
aheir eyes at the widest for good stare at the
Northern divinity. Such a reverse was not to be
borne with quietness so the irate judge issued
writ yesterday, slightly less powerful than per
emptoly mandamus, bat quite grandlloquent,
requiring her, the aforesaid Jenny Lind, commonly
Known as the Queen OF Song" to be and appear
in her proper person before this our court on the
22d day Of November, in the year of the Lind
Mania one and in default of which the People OF
abe State of New York would do thus and so as
by law provided. The unsuspioious Jenny was
Tor a moment alarmed at this torpedo box; but
her account of the reception and forgetting
of the subpoena Modified the officer who
bore the terrible writ, that he wished the
law had been in Texas before he was thus
commissioned Finally the matter was settled
by the promise OF the Song Queen that she
would be and appear to-day as ordered, and the
affair at end In time for dinner. BY the
way, perhaps our readers would like to know
7rke4e the songstress is to appear On that head
we are num- there might be crowd if we
should tell But we may say that she appears
at Triper Hall tonight, law or no law.
