made her first appearance before II
Charleston audience last evening, at the

excited, and we may safely affirm that the
most sanguinr expectations OF all were
realized. Our city is shrongei with vistcrs,
many of whom have been attracted here
with the expectation OF hearing this unriv-

has been opened, n more brilliant, attentive

"IHe Bir." "and "Ihe Echo Song" were

performance was the simple plaintive air Of
"IIome Street. IIome," which. familiar as it
is, to every one, we had never heard really
sung before it came FROM the mcliiiuous lips
Of Jenny Lind.
The whole arrangements were conducted
with admirable system and good order
active and efficient managers, were dis
trbuied in various parts OF the house to Sc
cure to all the possession of every seat pre-
viously engaged; and we feel warranted in
assuring those of our friends, who desire TO
embrace this opportunity now offered, to en-
JOY the richest musical treat which has ever
leen offered in our city, that they may do
so in full confidence, that all matters con
nected with the Theatre will he conducted

be allowed to remnrk that we have never
before heard tho human voice hold an
audience SO much under control, or SO
completely hold captive the brilliant
asscmblage of beauty and fashion that
attended her concert.
Above all. we tako pride and pleasure in
stating that no attempt to disturb or annoy
the audience within took place, nor was
