jenny LIND Nor CONC lloME.-We
give place TO the following note from
Mr.. Max Hjortsbere, The private sccre-
iaty and friend of Mademoisele Jenny
Lind, and are truly happy to learn that
there may be, after all, another chance
yet of hearing the nightingale.
To the Editors Of the Express: Gem
tIemen--The remarks appended to the
card which Mr. Barnum publishes this
morning. relative TO the termination of
his contract with Miss Jenny Lind are
calculated in some degree TO mislead
the public with regard to her future in
tentions. Miss Lind has never author
ized the statement that these concerts
were to be her last in America; the on
!, publication she has consented to is
ha, of the close Other engagement with
Mar. Barnum, after one hundred nights.
The fatigue and excrtlon incident 10
such long and continuous effort make it
necessary Tor her to enjoy for some time
repose and relaxation.
After that, she may, if her strength
permits, make short tour in Western
New York and Canada, in order not to
dsappolnt those, who, from expecting
10 hear her at home, have reirained
from visiting the Atlantic cities.
am. gentlemen, yours respectfully.
Max HJoRrsBEHG Sec'y to Mile Lind.

time OF incubation, neither cat, dog, ami
NAL nor man can approach the nest with

make their appearance, until obliged to

more particularly directed against that
mortal enemy of his egs and young, the

approaches # the reptile are discover

Ins " iLLis AND WrBB AyrAis -.
An application has been made to the
Superior Court, by Smith Coddington
and Mary J. his wife (formetly Miss In
man) 10 require James Watson Webb,
Of the Courier and Enquirer, to deliver
up certain letters retained by him, which
passe ! between the lady and Mr.. Will
lis many years since, when she was n
girl only l6 years Of age and that
Webb may be perpe,uaIiy restrained
and enjoincd from making, or permit.
ting TO be made any copy or extract of
or from aaii notes, letters, correspond
ence and papers, or any or either OF
them, and from publishing, exposing,
inspecting reading, using interfering
with or controlling, and IRON permit
ting or suffering any other person or
persons TO publish, expose, inspect
read, use, control, or interfere with tho
said notes. letters, correspondence. &c.
The order to that effect has been ssued
by Judge Sandlord.
THIS is the correspondence referred
TO by Col. Webb in h recent attack
on Mr.. Willis, and which the lady now
swcars, took place when she WAS a
young girl, just from boarding school,
and wholly inexperienced in the usages
of society. The following 10 portion
of her affidavit -
That having been mentioned in some
newspaper article Of said Nathaniel Z.
Willis as the author Of work Of fiction
then published, she wrote n note 10 said
Willis TO disavow the authorship Of such
work That the said Willis replied 10
said note, and a correspondence which
this commenced continued for the Pc
riod OF about two months, when the
/ fact of it's existence became known TO
i her parents that although che has M
| particular recollection the contents OF
her letters to said Willis she believes
that they may contain some statements
or passages entirely imaginative bW
which, by ia.se application or pcrversion
OF their meaning, might be construed 10
her prejudice and upon which the said
James Watson Webb has, in the arti-
Gle from hiS newspaper, hereinhefore
alleged, based charge Of impur'ty
against her which she most solemn y
AYERS to be totally wuhou, iouada,,on ia
truth.
II II further appears that the letters
/ were enclosed in sealed package and
entrusted TO Webb to hand over 10 MIR
Inman which he failed to do, and 10
violation Of the ,rust and confderce re
posed in lin he opened the same am
read aud exposed the letters.
Il The statements of Mrs. Coddingtol.
are corrobora,ed by the affidavit Of Mr..
George Buckham, and Of her mother,
Mrs. lnman.
IL is unnecessary 10 comment upon
the conduct Of Col. Webb in this affair;
its iniamy is too apparent and the pub
lie will view il with disgust and abhor-
renee.

INDUSTRIAL EXHIBIT on PIN OF

appointed chairman of one OF the award
ing juries at the Worlds Fair, thus
describes the measures 10 be taken in
deciding upon premiums. We copy
fom the Tribune.
The juries were fully organized yes
terday and to-day. and have generally
entered upon their !abors, Th,se will
require a pretty thorough devotion Of
their time for the next three weeks
some more and others less, according TO
the nature and extent Of their reveral
departments OF classes; but think few
will be able TO conclude their labors
short Of that term. Having consented
10 serve or one of them, shall be de-
taned here longer than I intended to be
when arrived. No awards are TO be
considered final until confined by the
appropriate group or section Of jurics,
and nothing made public until the coun-
Gil of presidents shall see fit. II has
been settled that the largest medal shalt
be given se'y fparingly and on the
award ofthe appropriate juri.s and
groups Of juries. The second OF prize
medal ia TO be awarded by the juries
absolutely: and will be dispersed much
more literally. Tie third, or "nemor
iui," i' 10 be awarded by the executive
Committee Of the Royal Commission
and is to be dispensed wi h still greater
iberaiiy. In this manner. all idea of
frst, second and third class medals for
so many grades Of excellence in par
Isu!ar manufacture or product, is to be
o. far as possible, avoided.
