Song are still vibrating on our ears butwe have
scarcely time to re-echo the praises which her
brill liant exhibition has called forth IL was noble
gathering, worthy of her whose silvery tones called
it gether-and worthy, too, of the metropolis of
great nation. In spite Of the lowering skies, the
vast hall was crowded, not by fashion and youth
alone, but by Legislators, warriors, and statesmen-
men who have grown gray in the public service,
and won laurels in the cabinet, the FORUM and the
field. The President and his cabinet were pres
ent. The colossal brow of the Massachusetts
statesman was there, and by his side The marked
and unmistakeahe features and spare form of the
Kentucky orator. In another part Of the nall was
seen the staiwan figure of Whitfield Scott. The
acting Vice President VIM. R. King, Esq, of
Alabama, honored her by his presence. Senators
aud Representatives ofhigh distinction, and talent
Of all SORTS and beauty Of every description were
/ there to calch the sweet and thrilling accents
which fell from her lips. Jenny Lind has, doubt

Intellgencer of 18th says
Jenny Lind on Monday visited the President Of
the United States, in company with Messrs. Bar
mum, Belletti, Benedict and Reeside and supported
by the President, she inspected the arious apart
ments Of the presidential mansion. She afterwards
proceeded to the Senate Chamber, and was an at
tentive listener to the debates in that body The
President of the Senate and the Speaker of the
House Of Representatives courteously rendered to
her the use OF their official chambers but she was
under the necessity of retiring from the Capitol
without visiting the House of Representatives,
owing to the dampness ofthe passages; which she
was apprehensive would affect her voice.
In the Supreme Court she had the qualification
to hear Mr. Clay argue cause, and she gave utter
ance to her friends Of her high admiration of the
great orator, and particularly of his noble senti
ment. " would rather be right than be Presi-
dent We understand that she intends to visit
the House Of Representatives before leaving the
city.

THE JURY AND THE JURORS
ROOM IN THE WEBSTER
TRIAL.

One of the Jurors who sat in judg.
ment upon the life of DIR. Webster
has given the following interesting
statement Of the conduct of the Jury.
1t is due to the Jury that they should
be heard, as public opinion is much
divided upon their verdict:
Having read in several papers what
purported to be a relation of the
scenes and events which transpired in
the jury room on the trial Of Dr. ]. w.
Webster, have felt desirous (now
that the subject has been brought be.
fore the public mind) that a plain
statement of the more important
matters connected with the Jury
room, should be made, as it might
prove interesting, If not instructive,
to the community. The jury was
composed Of twelve men, from as
many different branches of the mech.
anical and mercantile professions;
they were from four different reli>
gious denominations, and their ages
varied from % to GO years.
They were men whom | should
designate as possessing good sound
common sense men capable oil
judiug--of discerning-of apprecia>
ting evidence and estimating its i'm
portance. The jurors after they
had become better acquainted with
each other, and as the evidence began
to bear with crushing weight upon
The prisoner, and "the net work ofI
complicated circNpstances" seemed to
sncircle him, felt strongly the need of RI
that wisdom which cometh from
AbOve," to guide and direct their
minds Alright in their most momen-
.Ous aud responsible situation.
IL was then that our worthy fore
nan (whom we all most highly res

eligious services every evening"
