Important Movements in Spain Relative to Cuba, &e., &e., &e The American mail steamship Atlantic, Cap- tain James West, arrived at her wharf at halt-past one o’clock yesterday afternoon. She left Liverpool -at half-past eleven o’clock on Wednesday morn- | ‘ing, the 2lst ult, and has, therefore, made the — passage, from wharf to wharf, in eleven days and | two hours. ‘ She had very severe weather, and head winds, for | five days after leaving Liverpool. Oa the third day she experienced a tremendous westerly gale— the severest she ever met with. During the last | six days she had favorable winds and weather, and emade over three hundred miles every twenty-four hours. Her highest speed was three hundred and twenty-three miles in one day. The Atlantic comes crowded with cabin passen- gers. Among them is Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightingale. It wes with the utmost difficulty that the Nightingale made ber way to the At- lantic, 80 great was the crowd in Liverpool to get a parting sight of her sweet and benevo- lent features ; and it would have been im- possible to have got her on board, wer: 1 not that Mesers.

She danced and. sang almost every evening, and enjoyed herself , very much. She gave a concert for the benefit | of the sailors, which realized the handsome sum - of seventy pounds sterling. The wildest enthusiasin prevailed on her land- ing at the foot of Canal street. Thousands had congregated there to see her. They followed her carriage in throngs to the Irving House. She ap- peared several times at the window, and bowed ‘to the people. She seemed delighted with every thing around her. Annexed is a list of the passeagers:— NAMES OF THE PASSENGERS IN THE ATLANTIC.

When it became generally known that Barnum had effected an engagement with Mad’tle Lind, and that she was in reality to visit the United States, Mr. Sudlow, the Secretary of the Philhar- monic Society of Liverpool, was deputed to enter into an arrangement with the fair Swede, with the view to gratify the thousands who had beea disap- pointed on her former yisits to Liverpool, and espe- cially in Jenuary 1849, at which time she sang for the benefit of the Southern Hospital of that city.

When the announcement was the concerts fixed upon, a perfect furore seemed to pervade the whole western coast of England— and in Liverpool, which appeared to enjoy the cial favor and regard of Jenny Lind—which, in a word, had been the recipient of her generous chari- ties, the greatest poseible excitement prevailed. For | weeks preceding her errival, shop windows teem- | ed with articles of ornament ayd dress, of every conceivable torm, and fashion, and shape, all bear. ing the musical name of “ Jenny Lind;” while poets and artiets, far and near, exercised their pow- ers of rhyme and pencil, in the production of ful- A perfect rege existed for everything Swedish.

That the Philaar- monic concert room of Liverpool far surpasses any similar establishment on the American contiaent, is atact, which, | opine, none will deny, while ita acoustic properties ure such as to have excited fos very justly ,too,) the warmest encomiums rom all the great vocalists and iastrumentalisis | who have performed there. The intenor is deco- rated with a degree of simple elegence which is truly tasteful, while the arrangement of the gas | cannot fail to strike one as particularly agreeable, | by producing continuous lines of light aroused the root, the eflect of which is to mark the outlines and cornices ina most brilliant manner, at the same time obviating entirely the usual intervening glare of foot and stage lights, which not only iatercepts but destroys the view. The audience, which numbered at the least 3,000 persons, was perhaps the most fashionable ever gathered within the walls of the concert roo ; and there was withal an air of quiet respectability (i mean in the English sense of the term,) con- sidering the multitude, and the excitement preced- ing the arrival of Jenny Lind at Liverpool, which quite surprised me. Parues were there from all parts of Epgland, Lrelamd, and Scotland; and it ‘was said that one gentleman was present, who had performed a Pilgrimage sil the way from Vienaa, purposely to hear the jrwma donna. A number of a pergons were pointed out to me among the audience, but their names [ do not now | remember. 1, however, recognized the Kev. Geo. | | Copway, who 4 ared in ladian costume, and | excited a considerable degree of curiosity, and a few quiet sarcastic puns. Eres was orderly, | apd, be it saidjto the credit of the committee ot | arrangements, everyboay conifortably provided for. There was no impatient stamping of feet, no noise, no bustle, no crowding. Mozart’s overture to “ Zauberflote” commenced | the concert, but was only tolerably well executed, owing to the es ges of time which Mons. Bene- | dict took, and the uiter impossibility of the wind | instruments to produce the requisite number of notes. Indeed, to quote a musical notice of this portion of the concert, ** bg lagged in a melan- choly way behind the rest of the band at the most critical part of the overture.” The duet from “ Semiramide” followed, and was much more | satisfactory. The contralto notes of Miss Wil: | liams were rich, and fully expressive of the cha- | | racter of the young Arsace. She was assisted by Signor Belletti, whose tine barytone voice filled the audience with delight. He is in truth a most | efiective tinger, and, withal, a sound and accom- plished musician. | But now came the period of breathless expec. | | tuney—that suspense between anticipation dud | reslity, when the bosom seems 10 suspend even its silent beatings.

Presently an opening was made by the eager admirers of the Nightingale inside the hotel, and in a moment more, Md’tle Lind came tripping along, leaning upon the arm of M. Benedict. ‘Roother instant, she was seated in the carriage, the door closed, and the horses reined in for starting. Just then, however, Jenny Liad discovering that Captain West was not present, gave orders to wait; but no sooner was the voice of the songstresa heard, than the gallant captain, who had been ling through the crowd, was seized, and handed along with such a degree of careful attention, that one might reasonably sup- ed him to have been a part and parcel of charm- ing Jenny herself. Not exactly fancying his nar- row escape from the ‘loss of ie paceney, Cap- tain West quietly released himself from the public sp, with an intimation that he “could help fimeeit under all circumstances,” and took his seat in the carriage, Which soon went roiling off to the concert rooms, amid the cheers of the thousands in the street. On Sunday, Md’le. Lind attended morning ser- vice at the Episcopal church of St. Nicholas, much to the disappointment of an immense throng, who crowded St. George’s to such an overflow, (in anticipation of seeing the Queen of Song,) that many ladies were carried out fainting from the aisles. In the afternoon Jenny Lind visited the G ic, in company with Messrs. Benedict, Bel- letti, Wilton and others. All other visiters were excluded for the time being, and the party partook of a superb déjeune, which was laid in the ladi drawing room of the ship. Md’lle. miautely in- spected every of that truly magnificent vessel, asked hundreds of questions, and showed a degree of knowledge in marine matters scarcely met with in her sex. On leaving, she expressed herself in unmeasvred terms of satisfaction and delight. On Monday, the 19th, all Liverpool were stir, in anticipation of the concert of the “ Messiah,’ and the finul adieu of Jenny Lind, But it would be difficult, indeed, to give any detailed account of my own, and I must content myself by simply saying that the prima donna’s singing was above criticiem and above comparison.

That such was the case, not only us regards her bills, but in several other in- stunces, is a fact which I have froma source per- fectly and positively authentic; and I refer to the circumstance ow, especiilly in the hope that her visit to the Uuiied States may not be accompanied by any “dear whictl of that sort Waile touching vyon this subject, it may not be altoye- ther amiss (0 state, for the information of all pore sons Whe ‘ook upon Jenny Lind as saaioeul of great weslih, thot such is by no means the case ; and I am ‘oia hy parues whose relations to her en- titled them to credit, that she does not allow her income to exceed £1,000 per annum, while alt over and above that sum is generously and faithfully dispensed iv charities. Indeed, there is scarcely a cause te which Jenny Lind has not contributed ; not in the sense of inere *‘mites”’ forsooth, but thou- sands and thousands of pounds have been yearly dispensed by the free heart and hand of this gene ind exemplary woman. Nor are her boun- ties alone confined to great public institutions, in Jarge cities, with the rich and noble to laud them, put in obscure ag and in secret as well, does her purse pour forth its golden blessings. It isa crying shame, and a crime, then, I say, to attempt to plunder, by extortion, such a womén as this. But let us return to our voyage. Need I say asa commercement, that Jenny Lind was throughou’ * the very life of the ship?” For the first three or four days the weether was exceeding stormy, and all hands were more or less sick, not excepting Macemoureiie. who, however, wus among the first to shake off the nauseous effets of her introduc- tion to Neptune’s domrin, Oa the 23d we encoun- tered a severe gale, which insted two days, and which, though retirding ovr progress gre: tested the ship in such a manver 4s to sat parties that she stards unrivalled as a sea-boat. Aj length the wi ted, and the ocean became smooth. ime again to pale cheeks, and hearts and eyes assumed their accustomed buoyan- cy and brightness. Evening after evening came, and with it the dence, in which charming Jenny was sure to lead off, with all the pen of womaal. beauty, and all the joyousness of merry girihood. Anon, when the atmosphere was too damp, or the sea too rough for these amusements, then Jenny’s sweet and bell-like voice poured forth the rich melodies of her native Sweden. True to her na- ture, and to those pure and holy impulses which adorn and beantify her character, she at once con- ceived the idea of getting up a concert for the bene- fit of the crew, whose frequent exposure and hard- ship seemed to arrest the ‘best and noblest sympa- thies of her heart. The bare mention of it was sufficient; in Jess than an hour £70 was sabseribed by the puesengers, and Jenny sat herself to work to prepare the programme, of which the following is a copy :— CONCERT PY M'LLE.
