Notwithstanding the pouring rain on Saturday
morning. great numbers OF people wendell their
way down Broadway at an early hour TO attend
the Ticket auction at Castle Garden for the Rrat
Concert Of JENNY LIND.
The charge OF one shilling for admisssnoe to the
Garden, a mistake after ward explained, produced
some curious ebultionB and in addition to the
rain, which came down in torrents sufficient to
damp every body's ardor at the hour Of commencing
the per ormances, no doubt deferred number who
would other rise have entered into the spirit of
the acene with ardor.
AtleaAt 1900 persons. ho@avar. were psesens.
filing the whole body Of the Garden, and leaving
a goodiy number to occupy the balcony.
The auctionser, ar. LEEDS, appeared punotually
at the time appointed, but his audience were COM
PEELED TO wait in q stare of uneasy expectancy
for the arrival of the diagrams of the house.

Mr. BARsuM appeared q few minutes before the
bidding commenced, and was greeted by the moet
tumutuoua and enthusiastic applause. He came
forward to make aome statements expressing his
surprise and regret sha. the charge for admssance
had been levied and declared that no one had been
more astonshed at the circumstance than himaelf.
Although he had no legal right to the house until
Monday, he had it as matter of courteay. Wehages
attempted said he, to do more than was in the pow
or of human nature: it had been found impossible
to perform every thing that was required within
in the brief space of time when the G arden was
not occupied by the Opera Company hence the
seats were still partly unnumbered, and the dia.
grams had been delayed by the printer. After tend
ering his apologies in this frank and candid manner,
Mr.. ernun announced that with the exception of
few seats reserved for the Press, there mad been
no reservation of the seats in any part ofthe house,
they were open to the choice OF persons present.

of the day.

o'clock on Monday ito day.; and In case purchasers
