WHAT JENNY LIND IS TO GEr.-We copied an ar
| ticle from the European Times, stating what were
some of the conditions which Jenny Lind was to
come to this country, but nothing was said of the
amount of money she to receive. The Liver
pool Mercury says : "Mr. Barnums agent was au-
thorized to offer S25Q,OO0 for hundred and fifty
nights, and if that were not sufficient, he was
empowered to add additional $125,0O0 making
| altogether, upwards of 988O0 more than $500
($250O) for each of the one hundred and fifty times

and is said that is to be placed in the hands
| of Barring, Brothers s. Co., before the Swedish

| EMIGRATION IN SPRING TO CAL1FoRN1A-The St.
Louis Republican says
There are indications all around us Of an immense
emigration to California, next spring, across the
Plains 1t may not equal that of last year, but it
will comprise many thousand of persons. Scarcely
a county in Missouri will fail to send its representa-
tive, and some of them will number many persons.
Iowa and Illinois will also send out great numbers,
and other states will furnish fair proportion, al
though it is not probable that the Atlantic states will
send forth such hosts covered the Plains last year

whites with the condition of slaves. Hurrah for old
wotham If her citizens generally will Join the So
cety, she shall be the Empori UNI for ever!
