 The New York papers of the evening of the 7th ut. give long accounts of the proceedings at the ticket auction for the first concert of Jenny Lind which took place at Castle Garden m that day. Al least 5000 persons, it is said, present. notwith- standing the rain which came down in torrents about the time of commencing the auction. Mir. Leeds was the auctioneer. The Commercial Advertiser says: -ss<~~.~.rn>s
 "The first choice of seats ssid for S225, the pur- chaser being Ms. Geuin, the halter, who chose seat A, the ceptre chair in the second row, exactly in front of the stage. The remaining choices varied from S35 to S5, one of the private boxes commando ing close vIew of the stage selling at $35 the seat to some Of the boardeTs al the New York Hotel, after some competitor.
 The sale was not concluded on the 7th, but was to be continued on the 9th. The Evening Post says;
 "The number of tickets sold altogether from the commencement of the sale till one o'clock. was about thousand, which at an average oi Sl0 for each ticket, gives total of $lG,00O. This leaves about five thousand tickets yet unsold, which will bSing average of four dollars each, making the proceeds of the first concert amount to about $30 000 the largest receipts, we will venture to say that has ever been made al any public place oi amusement on this continent.
 We understood that notorious and wealthy pill doctor had declared that he would buy the first tick ct at any price, rot because he cared anything about singing, but the cheapest mode oi advertising his name and pills, which are identified with hs name pretty universally over the country. for he wisely counted upon having such piece of imFeftnence receive wife circulation om the press. It seems, however, that Genin and his hats were too many guns for the pills.
 The curiosity which prevailed in Flew York to see the "Swedish Nightingale has led 10 some awkward mistakes. The Eveuing Post says:
 A lady who had just arrived from abroad, wen' to the Customhouse to get some goods passed, when somebody whispered that she was Jenny, and in- stanIy the obbIes and steps were filled with crowd eager to see the vocalist as she came out. When the lady made her appearance add drove off m her carriage, she was followed by three loud cheers. As she perfect stranger in the country, this warm greeting must have surprised her into strange no- ions of American hospitality.
 Another lady, from Staten Island bad occasion 10 call at the Irving House. 10 friend. leaving her carriage at the door. It soon nJised about among the crowd who hang around the private en- trance, that 1t was the carriage of Jenny Lind When the lady appeared she could hardly make her way through he sdmring throng. and when she at last drove off, motley crowd went shouting after her as far down as the Staten Island ferry
 The Philadelphia Bulletin ihdulges in some severe but well mefited comments on the conduct ot the New Workers who It is said, have disgusted the fair Swede by their annoying attentions which leave her not a moment of rest The paper says :;
 of the attentions of the New Workers were die- tated by generous hospitality, the,e would be less for complaint; but this is not the case, at least generally. Itis 10 obtain little personal nooriety rather than to compliment Jenny Lind, that Messrs B. & C. poster her with their attentions Jenny Lind ia, just now the lion; and 1t gives eclat to be seen with her; hence inc whole traI of fashionable nood- les follows and annoys her. One of the first laws of hospitality is not to worry guest by too much aten ton. In private life, the poIiieness of host is judged principally by his demeanor in this respect; and if the guest IS toGmente by unreasonable, even though we'll meant attentions, the entertainer is voted vulgar and lll-bred. We do not see that any distinction be made between private guest, and one like Jenny Lind. In either ease. 10 annoy the stranger is the height of yuigaTity.
