MISS jenny BUsK, THE You've AMERICAN
,CANTArRIcE.--lf this young lady, child we
ought to say, for she is only twelve years of
age, preserves her present compass of voice with
the development Of womanhood, she will be one
OF the greatest singers Of the age She is
doubtless as great musical phenomenon as
Jenny Lind was at her nge, and under the tuition
of Garcia or Meyerbeer, will become as cele
DRAFTED. She is not brought out by any specn-
lator, nor as necessary means Of living. She
is the child Of highly respectable persons, in
good circumstances and has been brought be-
fore the public under the earnest solicitations of
musical professors. They say, and say rightly,
that such talent should not be buried. Balt-
more will yet be proud of her. She gives her
first concert at Carusis Saloon tonight, when
we understand that the President, his Secre-
,taries, and the beauty and fashion of Washing
ton will be there. YH ~ nas
