LIND AND BAnNuM-Thz ENGAoEMExr TERMr-
NArsp.--The abrupt termination of MILE Jenny
Lind's engagement with Mr.. Barnum has taken
every one BY surprise, and speculation is busy as
TO the causes ofit We pretend not to any greater
knowledge Of the facts Of the case than the world
generally and the parties to the coptract have 20
studiously avoided any publication OF the circum-
stances attending the dissolution, that any thing
like authoritative statement cannot be furnished,
at present at least Still we have right to make
public the most plausible report in reference to the
rupture between two such distinguished public cha
racters M'lle Lind and Mr.. Barnum.
The story goes that, on visiting the National
Theatre yesterday, Mile Lind was dissatisfied at
finding that she was to sing in n building hereto
fore used ciro0s; that she expressed her dissat
isfaction in decided terms, and that MIR. Barnum
then offered 10 release her from the remainder OF
her engagement If she would increase the sum OF
$25,000 (which was to be forfeited on dissolving
their contract at the hundredth concert to $27 OO0
a very liberal offer, which Mile Lind at once ac-
cepted. This 10 the story told to US. II may not
be the true one, and we shall be very happy to
make any corrections in it that either party may
desire. II 10 possible, however, that the matter
may remain mystery, to be placed in the cata-
logue OF great events about which there will ever
be .shistoric doubts"
At all events, the engagement is broken by the
agreement OF both parties Mile Lind, during the
rest OF her American sojeurn 10 her own imprssaro,
Cor imprssaria,) and Mr. Barnum sets on Tor Z, Eu-
rope next week to engage in other enterprises The
partnership, thus abruptly terminated, must ever
be memorable in American musical annals The
advent of lady OF unrvaled gifts OF voice. OF ire
proachablo virtue, and of more than regal gene
rosty, was something for the new world 70 rejoice
in. Her career has been one OF unexampled sue
cess and the various cities of all parts Of the Union
have We'd with each other in applauding her won
derful musical talents, and in doing honor TO her
noble qualities of head and heart.
Her career in this country is rapidly drawing to
close, and trust that the last days Of her visit
may bc brilliant and satisfactory to herself and
TO the country were the first.
