and no time has yet been fixed for her trip up the
Hudson. She mas produced the most agreeable
impression upon ell around her, and this Ia tue more
g,.afvipg insamuch as it is not the customary adu
alton which Ia paid to fame OF ali kinds, but gen
tment of warm personal regard. On her part, she
seems delighted with everything. Der suite OF
rooms, consisting of parlor, drawing room, a
dining room and two bedrooms, were fitted up IN
MAGNIFICENT style for her arrival, the furniture and
pe:atings in them being valued at $1,000. In her
drawing room the furniture is all OF the hness carved
aolid rosewood, covered with yellow and gold satin
3amask. the curtains of the same material, with
Hns real thread lace underneath The tables Of
rosewood, marble and Papier Mache richly inlAd
With pearl. One Of Boardman &c Gr&y's Dolce
Csmpana pianos 10 also in the apartment Her
chamber is no less gorgeouay finished, the bed
stead being covered with s. canopy Of the finest
lacesnd the ooverd ofthe moat splendid purple sat-
h. baautifully embroidered aud with lace border.
The superb manner in which thoae rooms are
furnished reflects great credit on the taste and Ga
tsrn,ise of Mr.. Howard. Mdle, Lind was surprised
AZ their richness and elegance and seemed very
curious to know whether every article had actually
bsen manufactured in this country. She was evil
dept}v unprepared to find such display OF wealth
and taate in land still regarded through the greater
mart OF Europe as having barely reached the stand
ard Of civilization.
Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, in compliance with
he unsnfmors wish Of the guests of the Irving
Mdlle. Lind received them in ono OF the splendid
parlors of the Hotel. The ladies and gentlemen
more than Ave hundred in number, all paid their
respects to the gifted Swede. The occasion waa
exceedingly pleasant and interesting, and must
have been no less gratifying to her than the more
popular and boisterous denominations OF Sunday
evening. Mde Lind received her visitors with
sn unaffected grace and cordislity OF manner which
sgite won all hearts indeed, we have cever saan
liz magnetism OF q warm, tfao aud benevolent

appropriations, as yet, for leaving on her trip to
