JENNY LIMBS LAST CONCERTS.
The public are respectfully informed that the en-

$50 concerts, having contained certain conditions on
which the same might be terminated either at the
end Of sixty of one hundred concerts 10 has been
determined to limit them to the latter number, and

4 moments thought Will reveal the reason al
though nothing can lessen the sorrow, of this deter
mination. JENNY LIND has been singing constantly
for nine months, during most Of which time she has
been travelling, and necessarily exposed to every
kind OF fatigue and change of climate, and to the IN
cessant excitement Of Unprecedented and unfaggng
success. She is extremely susceptible to the extra
ordinary heat OF our weather and should she COM
plete the fifty additional concerts her return to Eu-
rope would be DELAYED until late and unprOpitiOus
season of the year, and the consequent fatigue OF
fifty Summer nights Of singing would be InsuppOrt-
able 10 her. This arrangement Will Of course pre-
vent the projected visit to the Lake cities and Cana
da, and We most sincerely sympathze with those who
VIII thus lose the great delight Of hearing her. Her
concerts in Philadelphia commence on the 9th and
IN Boston about the 10th Of June. And once more,
10 quiet an absurd assertion that there has been any
slightest misunderstanding between JENNY LIND and
Mr. BARNUN, are happy TO state that they part
with The same friendly feeling that has unintenupt-
edlv existed throughout their relation.
Wednesday and Friday evenings are thus the clos
ing nights IN New-York Of this remarkable and I'M
eQualed musical career. Eheu PosthuRe POsths4ae,
