MOVEMENTS OF JENNY LrND.-From sunrise yesterday morning till monday, the Irving House was thronged with up~ wards of eight hundred ladies, who were received in happy manner by the dis tinguished vocalist from Sweden. She could not find words to express herself to 'the kind American ladies, (as she termed them) and therefore greeted her visitors with a smiling countenance, which strongly indicated the feeling she has for those who have given such brilliant re- ception.
 About 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the elegant carriage of Mr. Barnum arrived at the private entrance of the lrving' followed by a dense crowd of citizens. who surrounded the vehicle, and blocked up the street from Broadway to near the the corner of College Place, all eagerly looking for Mademoiselle Lind to descend the steps. At length she was escorted down by Mir. Barnum, and. together, were seated in the vehicle with her suite. The moment she made her appearance a

Motion in tho Starry Heavens.

The aspect of the starry heavens, the relative position of stars and nebulae, the distribution of their luminous masses, the picturesque beauty, if l may so express myself, of the whole Armament, depend in the course of ages conjointly upon the proper motion of the stars and nebule.
 the translation of our solar system in space, the appearance of new stars, and the disappearance or sudden diminution in the intensity of the light of others, and lastly, and specially, on the changes which the Earth's axis experiences from the attraction of the Sun and Moon.-- The beautiful stars in the constellation of the Centaur and the Southern Cross will at some future time be visible in our northern attitudes, while other stars. as Sirius and the stars in the belt of Orion, will in their turn, disappear below the horizon. The places of the North Pole will successively be indicated by the stars and Cephei, and Cygni, until. after period of l2,oOo years, Vega in Lyra will slime forth as the brightest of all possible pole stars. These data give us some idea of che extent of the motions which, divided into ininitel y small DOT tions of time, proceed without intermis- sion in the great chronometer of the unts verse. If for a moment we would yield tto thhe power of fancy, and imagine the acuteness Of oG. v;;ssuG;s.! organs to bc made equal with the extremest bounds of teles- copic vision, and to bring together that which is now divided by long periods of time, the apparent rest that reigns in space would suddenly disappear. We should see the countless host of ixe1 stars moving in thronged groups in diff ferent directions nebul@ wandering through space, and becoming condensed and dissolved like cosmical clouds the vail of the milky way separated and bro ken up in many parts, and motion ruling supreme in every portion of the vault of heaven, even as on the earth's surface, where we see it unfolded in the germ, the leaf, and the blossom. the organisms of the vegetable world. The celebrated Spanish botanist CsvaniIles was the first who entertained the idea of seeing grass grow," and he directed the hori> zontal micrometer threads of powerfully magnifying glass at one time to the apex of the shoot of bambusa, and at anoth> CT on the rapidly growing stem of an American aloe (Agavs Americana pre- cisely as the astronomer places his cross of net work against eliminating star.

SuBLM1rY OF SILENT SuFFERrNG.- From chapter on I" Sublsnsity,' we ex- tract an instance of what Sidney Smith calls the sublimity of economy:
 "I am going to say rather an odd thing, but I cannot help thinking that the severe and rigid economy of a man in distress, has something in it very sublime. especially if it be endured for any length of time serenely and in si' lence. I remember 8 very striking in. stance of it in a young man, since dead; i; he was the son of country curate, who had got him berth on board a man-of- war. as midshipman. The poor curate made a great effort for his son; fitted him out well with clothes. and gave him $50 in money. The first week, the poor boy lost his chest, clothes, money, and everything he had in the world. The ship sailed for foreign station; and his loss was without remedy. He immedi- ately quilted his mess, ceased to associate with the other midshipmen, who were the sons of gentlemen; and for five years without mentioning it to his parents who he knew could not assist him-or without borrowing farthing from any human being, without single murmur or complaint. did that poor lad endure the most abject and degrading poverty. at a period of life when the feelings are most alive to ridicule, and the appetites most prone to indulgence. Now, confess l am a mighty advocate for the sublimity of such long and patient endurance. If you can make the world stare and look on, there you have vanity, or compassion. to support you; but to bury all your wretchedness in your own mind-to re- solve that you will have no mans pity, while you have one effort left to procure his respect-to harhor no mean thought in the midst of abject poverty. but at the very time yor are surrounded by cir cumstances of humility and depression, to found spirit of modest independence upon the consciousness of having always acted well; this is a sublime. which, though it is found in the shade and re- tirement of life, ought to be held up to the praises of men, and to be looked upon as noble model for imitation.

EGYPTIAN SUPERsr1r1oNs.- beetle was an emblem of the sun. to which deity it was peculiarly sacred and it is often represented as in boat, with extended wings, holding in it's claws the globe of the sun or elevated in the Armament as a type of that luminary in the meridian Figures of other deities are often seen praying to it when in this character. It was also an emblem of Pthah, or the creative power it was moreover, a sym bol of the world; and is frequently fig ured as an astronomical sign, and in con- nection with funeral rites. In some one or other of the acceptations in which it was honored, it's figure was engraved on seals, was cut in stone as separate obs feet, and was used in all kiDds of orna- ments, particularly rings and necklaces. Some of larger than common size, fre- quently had prayer or legend connec- ted with the dead engraved on them ; and winged beetle was usually placed upon the bodies that were embalmed &C., cording to the most expensive process The beetle was not only venerated when alive, but embalmed after death and some have been found in that state at Thebes. Considerable ingenuity has been exercis. ed in order to discover the real sacred beetle of Egypt. and to ascertain to what extent other species may have partaken of the honors paid to that one. The species usually represented appear to be the ScorGbaeus saeer of Llnnaeus, and which is still.very common in every part of Egypt. It is about the size of com mon beetle, and its general color is also black but it is distinguished by broad white band upon the interior margin ol it's oval corselet. Perhaps the most gi~ gantic of ancient Egyptian representations of the sacred beetle, is that in the British Museum, carved out of block of a greenish>coloured granite.

Our Forest Trees.

Pm proud of thee. New England,
 My birth place and my home Thy smiling fields of waving green.
 Where peace and plenty roam. love thy moss grown, rugged rocks, ;. Where sweeps the healthful brecze-- Each wildwood glen and stream l love, But more thy forest trees! Thy grand old oaks, New England, Thy solemn, stately pines Thy graceful elms, and naples proud.: Round which the ivy twines; The noble ash, with silver leaf.
 The walnu, 5 shady grove, Oh, ,ch their robes of changelul green Where the June breezes rove! know, where western prairies wave, That migh,ier rivers glide, Than where ,h he bright Connecticut MiEgles with oceans tide. And softer breezes fan the cheek,
 Where floats in rich perfumes The scented orange blossom , breath Der the warm South lagoons. I care not, though bluer sky
 Bends o'er the Levant's shore, And stern old castles tell tale
 Ot regal pomp of yore. To me, far dearest is the mound
 Oa Bunker's crimsoned height, Where erst in glorious splender dawned Fair Freedoms blessed light M Dearer to me than sculptured iane,
 Or kingly halls of pride' Enlwined with poesy an d song.
 Where Rhine's bright waters glide; rearcr to me New England's streams,
 Her glens and .blossomed leas, Her solemn woods where tower aloft
 New England's forest trees. Gcd bless thee, dear New England
 And grant that when die, Upon thy fields of glorious green
 May rest my closing eye: Yea, let thy oaks and solemn pines,
 Der me in grandeur wave, Spreading her lordly branches wide'
 To guard my quiet grave.

The Fields of AgiRCOurt and Buena
 Vista.

Sir Henry Bulwer, in speech at the late festival of the Historical Society al Baltimore, spoke in exalted terms of the battle of Buena Vista, placing it on pal with Henry's celebrated battle of Agin- court, esteemed by the English the most remarkable and glorious victory in theil annals. In the same class he places Bucna Vista. Such is the appreciation in which this wonderful battle is held iu Europe. ....
 A gentleman had spoken of Agincourt. The name had suggested to him (Sir H. Bulwer, a singular coincidence applica, ble to the topic he was then speaking up- on. The battle of Agincourt was fought on the 25th of October. on the plains of Picardy. in France. There were on that occasion the English forces, few in mum. bers, fatigued by marching. enfeebled by sickness, and surrounded by great and gallant army, so confident of victory that its chief, previous to giving the signal for the onset, sent herald to the Eng fish leader to bargain for his ransom.- That leaders answer has been given thus:
 "Go tell your master here am;
 My ransom is this frail and worthless trunk My army but a weak and sickly guard;
 ButGod before: Tell hlm we will come on. ." And on went King Henry and his gal. lant band; and off went, though not ] without fight, the vaunting enemy. It was a great victory, and won on St. Crispin's day. We'll, in ls47 was fought another battle, in a valley in Mexico ; and this time the descendants of those who had fought and conquered four cen turies previous, were as their ancestors had been on the occasion alluded to-, few in numbers, fatigued by marching, enfeebled by sickness, and encompassed 1 by foes, who, like the " confident and over lusty French" felt so sure of success in in the approaching contest, that their commander sent to the American com mander, summoning him to surrender al discretion. Did gentlemen remember the answer that was returned to this sum- mons? They ought to. It would live in their history. If he (Sir H. Bulwer) remembered rightly, it ran thus: Head quarters, near Buena Vista, Feb. 22. Sir-In reply to your note of this date, summoning me to surrender my forces at discretion, l beg leave to say decline acceding, to your request. I am, sir with the greatest respect, your obedient servant, Zachary Taylor"
 This was no poetry, but 1t was stout and sterling old Anglo>Saxon prose and it was followed up in an Anglo. Saxor manner. Again there was great victo ry; not this time on the day of St. Cris pin, but on the birth day of Washington But did not the old battle of Agincour resemble the modern battle of Buen' Vista? Might not they, who were prou' of their fathers having been at one, be a proud that they themselves had been a the other? He said yes; and many wer the gentlemen who had slept quietly il their beds at Baltimore, on the night Q the 22d of February. who would at tha moment give half their fortunes to hay passed it by the side of the gallant vet ran who was then at the head of tn American camp, and who now presided over America's counsels.
