Arrival of the AIbany-Jenny Lind-The Dol
lar Tax on Passengers.


Correspondence of The Tribune.
HAVANA, Sunday, Jan. l9.
Messrs. Greeley d McEbah:
Yesterday we had the extraordinary spectacle
of the entrance into this port of an American Ma
tional vessel. The sloop-of-war Albany, Capt
RaDdolf reported as commanding came up the
harbor handsomely, but as she neared the lower
wharf baffled by light air, she touched for mo-
ment but drew off without damage.
The arrival of the Ravels is an event, after the
quarels in relation to Miss Lind, and their Harle'
quin tom foolery will tickle the fancyof our sight
seers and sooth the angry feelings Of the "regen-
Grating Diario"
Jenny Lind will leave in few days, and it is
said that she will be entertained at the Condi
Penalvers splendid mansion, with ball and fete
previous to her departure.
Passengers arriving here in the New York
steamers recently, seem to be inclined to lind
fault with the tax of a dollar, laid upon the head
of each wishing to land in Havana. They forget
that they come unasked,of the autherities or.tne
people that tho same tax OBTAINS III eneiI own
land upon all emigrants, and that whether 70 stop,
or in transit cannot be investigated well here, as
there are many now residents at Havana, who
left their homes for California, without thought OF
remaining here and some have been OBJECTS oil
charity and expense to the Government. One
man. particularly furious, with red hair, nand'
some wife, children, &c. closed long, violent
stump speech to the Spanish Official Auditors,
with the declaration that he should write to Mr.
Fillmore and have them published IN all the pa
pers of Uncle Samdom, and his good lady from
New. London, Conn put in st that not Spanlard
hereafter should land in the United States without
paying forty dollars" all of which was comPre
hended, of course.

HAVANA, Saturday, Jan Is, 1851.
MEssRs EDITORS. The weather here has been
absolutely delightful-not quite as hot as it is in
our own Summer, but gloriousy warm with
fresh breeze morning and evening from the sea,
which is beautifully refreshing. Pray look at the
date of my letter and contemplate the delight of
being able to say this with clear conscience.
Jenny is living on the Passes, and Mr.. and Mrs
Barnum are stopping with her. This will be de-
ghtful intelligence for all those prophets OF evil
who were auguring quarrels between the Might
ingale" and her keeper, without intermission,
during the whole period of her stay In New York.
Her last Concert has been the most splendid OF
all the four which she has here given and as
gave you intelligence respecting the two first IN
my former letter, will here confne myself exclu-
sively to this one, first registering my dislike to
the whole conduct of the orchestra. These have
invariably conducted themselves in disgraceful
manner. In the rehearsal they have generally
been present and played tolerably. At night,

would be suffering from illness another would
unaccountaby forget his score and be unable to
find it. This one would absent himself without
word of warning. Such was the conduct OF most
Of them. aud cannot but regret that a man of
such talent and gentlemany feeling in his con
duct toward an orchestra as Benedict had the
equation Of being and has invariably proved him
selfto be, while staying among US, should have
been exposed to such scandalous behavior on the
part of this orchestra.
However, enough of this. The subject is so
excessively unpleasant that feel glad enough to

which this was DONE was the more evident, from
the very excellent manner in which they played
the Lucia, the Macbeth and the ErnaRi on the
nights when heard them.
Her last concert in Havana was given for
charity. The Tacon Theater was tolersbly tdll
