Jenny Lind in Nep Orlec~s-Her Last Concert
Third Trial Of Err Governor He~ierson. &c.
The great feature which marked the close of the
week was Jenny Lind's " second last concert"
Her, said to be the last concert, was given on FRI
day night, 7th inst TO very brilliant house. but
not equal TO the first night although some of the
press here will have it tina, " il surpassed anything
before or since" She was to have left yesterday,
but as the steamer Magnolia, on which she is TO
depart, was not ready, she was advertised TO eng
again last night. The prices Of seats were
duced little, and the auction humbug dispensed
with, Il order TO insure a full house. The thing
did not take, however, and although the house was
very fair, there were fewer present than any
former night. There were no standees, and many
seats in the dress circle, and elsewhere, were va
cant. To use the language of friend, "the
house was rot so crowded but that you
might have ran a wheelbanow through it."
She was more elegantly dressed last night
than have yet seen her. She wore a mag.
nihcent rich figured lace, over soft blue silk
low. necked dress, with short sleeves, and a very
wide blue and white figured waist ribbon, falling
in 'front.' and nearly touching the hem Of her dress
On her neck she wore a small gold cross, set with
diamonds and large PIN OF brilliants In The bosom
of her dress. Her hair was dressed plain, partei
the middle, with falling rolls al each side, and
with a cherry and blue head dress On each
wrist she wore large gold, open-worked bracelet,
over red velvet nsband. In her waist belt was
displayed gold medallion, suspended by a slight
gold chain. l am sorry have no; milliner girl
at my elbow, to assist me 10 giving your fair read
trs q more perfect description Of Jenny's dress;
but as bachelors are not supposed to know any,
thing OF ladies' apparel, they WILL OF course, ex-
cuse me. The duet which she sang with Bellerti,
arranged on Tyrolean airs, was the sweetest thing
have ever yet heard her sing, and she was rap
turousy encored.
After Jenny retired, having finished her last
song, she was enthusiastically called for when
re.eppearing, she bowed again and again to the
audience, and left the stage amid loud huzzas, an
the waving Of hats and handkerchiefs. Birnum
was then called for, and after some delay he APP
preached the foot lights, and thanked the au-
dience for the kindness they had eviuced toward
him. 10 behalf of the Nightingale, he desired to
express for her the heartfelt gratitude she enter.
tanned towards the people OF New Orleans Her
success here had been most triumphant, and her
success IN this city had never been equalled by
any other occasion In any part Of the world tie
would take this occasion to state, that the propri-
ETY. and decorum which had characterised the au.
dience during Miss Lind's engagement here, was
highly gratifying to him, and was an evidence of
the high tone and refinement which so dist igusted
the people Of New Orleans. Alter a few more ap-
propriaie remarks the curtain dropped, aud TINS
closed the " second last concert" Of Jenny Lind IN
New Orleans. AS Jenny does not travel on Sunday,
she will no. leave here unu to. morrow. She stops
one mig hi at Naichez, 10 give the Misslss,ppins
taste q her music, and then goes to Memphis, and
rom there 10 ST Louis.
