The Atlantic ran past the pier az she came up,
turned and went down stream some distances hau
then glided slowly into her place some n'He

was in readiness a. the foot OF the gang~Ay.
Just inside the gate number of triumphal arcnes
OF evergreens end flowers had been erected. Ahe
first arch, fronting the water bore the inscription
aWELcomE TO JENNY LIND after which came
another, with the American Eagle in the center,
and the words Jenny Lind, tcelconie TO America;
In large letters around the span. The landing
place, from the steamer to the gates was overhung
with the atars and stripes, with the flags OF va
rious other nations taasefuiiy disposed on either
side. This beautiful display was got up undef tue
direction OF Messra Davidson, Stewart and Del

for several hours
AS soon as Capt West had conducted Mdlle
Lind to the gangway, the ruah commented Mdlle
Abmansep, with Measrg. B enedict and Belleh fol-
low ed and all four took their seats in the car
riage, Mr. Barnum mounting to the drivers place
The crowd inaid the gates Immediately surround
ed the carriage cnging to the wheels and crowd
ing about the windows, cheering all the while with
an enthusiasm we never saw surpassed, The mul-
titude outside began TO press against the gates,
which were unboted in all haste to prevent being
forced in. Scarcely had ono gate been thrown
back, however before the torrent burst in, with an
energy friehtful to witness, The other half OF the
gate instantly gave way the planks swapping like
reeds before the pressure. The foremost ranhs
were forced down upon the floor, and those behind,
urged on from without, were piled upon them till
serious osa of life neemed almost inevitable. The
spectacle was moat alarming some forty or fi(sy
persons lay crushed by the inexorabe crowd,
stretching out their hands and crying for help Ia
the midst of this tragic affair we could scarcely re-
srain laugh, at the sight of man, lying squeezed
under the mass and hardly able to breathe holding
out his new hat at arms length, and lmplorlng
somebody to take it and prevent it from being
smashed Finally, some of the Police Officers,
and some of the gentlemen who happened to be
near,sucoeeded with great difficulty in driving back
the crowd and reacuing the sufferers, Many were
severely bruised, some came off with bloody
noseg, ard two boys, about twelve years Of age
appeared to be seriously injured Had not tho
rush been checked ia time, many lives would have
been loaf.
The carriage containing the freight Of song was
started with difficulty, owing to the enthusiastic
crowd around it. Mdle. Lind and her cousin, Mdlle
AhmaDsep, occupied the back seat; the former
bowed repeatedly as she passed through the gath
cred thousands. The people fell back respectfully
and made way, literally heaping the carriage with
flowers as abe passed aloog. More than two hun
dred bouquets were thrown into the windows-
Once clear OF the thropg, the carriage wss driven
off rapidly and succeeded in reaching the Irving
House, without allowing the people in the streeta
time to collect Mdlle. Lind's elegant suite OF
apartments in the second story of the hotel were
all in readiness, and couple of Police Officers
guarded the entrance in Chambers st. to prevent
the crowd from rushin5 in The block around the
living House was filed with dense mass Of peo
pie with heads upturned, gazing at the different
windows, many of which were graced with ladies';
but Jenny was not among them. AT last she ap
pesred at one of the parlor windows opening on
Broadway, and there was general stampede to
get sight of her. She bowed repeatedly and
kissed her hand in answer to the cheers her face
wore re- diaut and delighted expression, and hsr
whole demeanor was exceedingly winning and
graceful.
Her arrival created nearly as much excitement
in the Irving House as in the streets. There are
at present $50 guests ia the house, and each sew.
eral OIL q Is anxious to get a glimpse OF her. All
the passages leading to her apartments were
crowded. The grea, Flag Of Sweden and Norway
was hosted on the flagstaff of the Irving House
Immediately upon her arrival. Throughout the
evening crowds continued to collect about the Ho.
tel and 30 inceasant were their calls that she was
obliged to appear twice again, at the wiudows.--
Finally, being quite exhausted by the excitement
of the day, she retired, and her faithful Swedish
servants kept watch to event disturbance.
We unders.au that MdIle Lind will accept the
invitation of G. g, Rowland, Esq and spend O.
few DAYS at his Summer residence on the Hoison,
near Fishkil. Messrs. Benedict and Belleti will
probably remain for The present a. tbs Irving
House. 1t is their opinion, az we'll as that Of the
soDgatresa herself, that the voyage has improved
her voice. She expresses her entire readiness to
appear fore the public in ten day., ii Mr.. Bar
mum should succeed in obtaining suitable Hall
for the week OF two which must Intervene till the
completion of the new building. After her return
from Fishkil, abe will probably spend two three
days at Irabistan, Mr. Barnum's residences near
Bridgeport, CT
We are glad to announce that the tickets for
