Yours truly, , Wa-himotos, Dec. 17, 18.10. Mr. Editor : The all-absorbing nubji ut of conver- saiioii to-duyis the concert ol Jenny Lind, which cumo oil last evening, at ihe National Tin ntre, before one of ihe largosiand most brilliantutidienceM e-erussentbled iu Washington. The city on yesienlny presumed an appearance of more life nnd energy than ii has at tiny tune during this Winter; every-om; seemed, in seme h gree excited, and an aiiimati d aud a brisk move ment wus kept up during the whole day. It was announced that the doors of the Theatro would be open ed at six o'clock, nml as early na fouro'clock there was divided tendency of tlm crowd townrdsthe htiildiuc in which the " Queen of Song " wus to d 'lihi and enchant the people of the metropolis. At live o'clock, the crowd iu front of the theittiu was immense, nnd rapidly enlarging and a cold drizzling rain which was falling, did not .--cin in the h ast to dampen their ardor though it did their cloth' i. Thus they stood ihe ladies ninny uf th-m drensed as if for a ball, in ihtii slippers and without b .niiets, (which would hae lestioycd or disarranged their beautiful hend-drosse,) during one hour, regardless of everything save mi iu-tense anxiely to secure choiro eats, the rule being, 'first come first served. ' At li o'clock precisely the loors were opened, and then the rush was lerrific all respect und decorum were forgotten ; and the (Hiltteness which clniraclerizi . the American people in their treatment of Ihe ladies was for nonce laid aside, and they were pushed and crowded and trampled on as if limy wore inuile ol " gross clay, and not " almost auaels." Being sealed, two more hours of anxious expectancy paused, during whti h trim louges, ;,u. op'Ta-glosscs were not idle. The entrance of Gen. Scott called forth loud uud pro longed apnlnus' which continued until uft'rthe "Old Hero" Was seatnl, and which shew, thai he has a warm spot iu ihe hearts of this p. iqib. ami that they iletilit to do boimr to him, for Mir It , nor he has ibmo hisi-nuutry upon many a hard loit-lit battle field, while yaihering for himself a ' victor's wreath." He looks the soldier and the man his lnck mo but lisbtly touch, d with the frosts of winters, his form unbent, and bis eve Haded with th the tnLiPim of voiitb hib- bowmg llianks io the mi. item e. The appearance of the President and Catiinet.niid " Harrvof the West" wna hailed wiih an enlbusiium whu h did credit tu the patriotism of iho nudience. I will not attempt to criticise die pei tutmuuce of jenny Lind, for I consider it above and bay mid cnti. cism. r.ven i l potM'ssed that knowledge ol music which is essential lo a fair and impartial critique. I should Itetitate to criticise wlmre 1 win so entirely de lighted, and to apply the cold and rigid rules of musical criticism in a performance whii h carried every heart by storm. The "sweet Biul of Stig" should l ever be heard by those who cini'il, during the performance, coldly und dispassionately apply llm rules of art to b(r singing, and judge her by this standard alone. Her singing is for the heart nnd not for ihe ear alone, tough it may, for ought I know, confirm with the nicest exactness to Ibr most scientific rules. The end mid aim of nil music, i. to please the h arer, and this being the standard by which Jenny Liml is judged, she inptreetiim, for she not only pleanes, but she delights and em hauls her hearers. Itunng her performance ihe audience listened iu breath'" ntt' tition.tmt u sound save her even sweet video washeird from the .1000 als there gathered, but ibe moment the echo of In voice died away, the pent up leehus of that mass ot pin burst lortli in vehcm id applause which well attested the power ami In auty of her perform mice. Never perhnps, was there a morehrilhnut audience ns- se nib bil lo hear the Queen of Son - " lliati on Mon. l iy ovruim;; wealth, beauty, fiishlou, youth, ii.t, tai nt, wisdom and roli L'ion aM were represented there. and (he universal judgement is that she Is an " Enchan tress, all hearts in Iht fetters entwninji." n will arcely expect me to give you an idea of her personal appearance when I tell you ihat in my opiuiun, all ef forts which have been made to take her likeness have liern jwrfect failures, and have done her rmim injus tice. In feature she is tint as roirae as she nppenrr iu these likenrssrs, ami llie hi auty of her countenance lies rhb fly in expression, which iliey have altogether failed to ralch. Toilav she VMtiil Mt. Vernon, to pay her homage al the shrine of the "father of Im country. ' Tit morrow evening she gives her sii-ond and last concert in Wellington, at which die will si nit for the first time "Hail Columbia " in addition lo thou sonas wiih which she usually deli -hts an aildieiic llon.

In the House, considerable business of a private diameter has been transacted during the week pust. The post ge bill hm been under discussion, nnd there is little doubt ihat it will pnsa. though not exactly iu the shape introduced by Mr. Poller. All seem to concede the fuel that the people desire a reduction, but ul t are not w lling to gratify them Among those arraying lliem- telves in opposition to this meusuro is Mr. Cartler, of Ohio, and I thought, while listening to his speech iigaiiisl the measure, ihat ho was laboring to achievo for himself a notoriety, aud cared little by what nieth- d he been mo notorious. His speech hns been pro- iiounced, by oud judges, the very gaiieit of the sea-don. The umotiibuents which are beiuif offered are hielly iu regard to the transmission of newspaper. free of pontage wiiliiu a limited distance of their offico o publication, and some of these amendment, must prevail. It is seen and acknowledged ou alt hands, that the present system of newspaper postage is u direct tax upon knowledge, und, us such, i. disgraceful to a free and enlightened Government. There will be no difficulty in ruluciug postage if tin- mi rubers of Congress can get rid of the false notion ihat the Post ofii e Department ought to support iseii. The necoiid uud last coiieorl of Jenny Lind, was ven more brilliant nnd clfeclive than the first. The bouse was tilled to repletion with tin fashion, bi iiuty and wisdom of the metropolis, and Jenny is said to have surpassed herself. The proceeds of the last concert me climated at $13,000, aud of the first $11,000, lug J4,1)00 in two nights. On Wednesday she vi- teil the House of Representatives by special invitation I llie Speaker, and the crowd of well dressed men und boys, who followed her about the capitol, and watt bed her every motmu, was equal m size to any I ever sow following o show.
