CT A ludicrous incident occurred at the

ming last Jenny Lind was singing IN her
room, some little Swedish hymns. OF course
at the sound Of her voice, many persons, some
Of whom had never heard lis delightful tones,
assembled in the halls aud upon the balconies
to listen. Two enthusiastic gentlemen, anx-
ious to be as near as possible to the person OF
the syren, leaned against the door Of her
chamber. Suddenly the singing ceased, the
door was opened from the interior, and the
two amateurs made rapid and desperate
plunge, directly into the arms OF the iair

saw her face at that moment, say that never

Summary Of tile Report Of the Enginser.-The
Committee on the NewOrleans and Jackson Rail
road report that the preliminary survey has just
been completed, and that the detailed report and
estimate will be submitted as soon as it can be
made out The committee congratulate the friends
Of internal improvements upon the favorable report
Of the engineers.
The whole distance from the city to the State
line is ninety-two and half miles, commencing
from the halfway house on the New Canal, and
proceeding up the Metairie Ridge and along the
coast to within thirty miles Of Donaldsonville; and
passing around Lake Mauripas, 1t crosses Amite
and Tickfaw Rivers, goes through Springfield and
following up the valley of the Tanchipaho it falls
into the line Of the old Nashville Railroad, which
it pursues twenty-five miles and half to the State
