REAPPEARANCE OF JENNY LND.-Herr
Goldschmidt, chiefly known to fame as the
husband of Jenny Lind, has brought out in
London his pastoral oratorio of Ruth" which
was a failure in an English provincial town
two years ago, but has since been successful in
Germany. The critics see very little that is
good in the work, declaring it fruit Of the
musical heresy of which Wagner is the apostle.
They speak kindly of Madame Goldschmidt,
who sung in the piece, and declare that great
artist was manifest in her efforts One writer
goes farther and says Madame Lind-Gold-
schmidt's singing was simply wonderful, the
perfection of phrasing; and the same earnest,
heartfelt expression as of yore, the voice very
little impaired by the long rest, with the
thrush-like huskiness (always in her voice. only
little more pronounced, sufficed to raise the
enthusiasm of the audience at her efforts to
highest pitch" At the conclusion of the work
applause, amounting to an ovation, was ac-
corded, both to the composer and to his gifted
wife, from every part of the hall.

THE LONDON TIMES ON THE CESsION OF SAN
DOMINGO.
LONDON, Nov. 30.-The Times, referring to
the possible cession of San Domingo to the
United States, says:-From the present aspect
of affairs we should be disposed to expect the

parties concerned but to Europe and the
world. Americans stand to lose but little
while they might gain great deal. The stand
ought to become new emporium for trade,

his instructions refused to accept the tenders 1t is
stated on the street some bidders for Gold to-day

ed speculation in Wall street for time, but at the
close of the day all the markets were in depressed
and unsettled condition with panic in the Stock
