the harmonies were new to English ears. Then came the drew from the programme "La Septuor," from Les Hugueconcert, the programme of which was as follows:

Most agreeably were we surprised with the performance, it being far better than we had imagined it possibly could have been, and it clearly proved that the French have their speciality in unaccompanied music in almost as great a degree as have the German and the English. The pieces which made the greatest sensation were the "Hymn of Besozzi," "Le Chant du Bivouac," "Les Enfants de Paris," "La Retraite," "Le Jour du Seigneur," and "France, France." The first four were encored, but all were sung in most admirable style and with an amount of "go' which was very enlivening. "La Retraite" is the best specimen of unaccompanied singing with a large number of voices we have ever heard, the crescendo and the diminuendo being perfect.

The "Septuor" from Les Huguenots, about the execution of which so much has been said and written, did not go so well as had been anticipated.

The splendid and artistic band of the Guides gave some of their choicest pieces, and agreeably diversified the performance. Almost all the performers in this justly celebrated band are distinguished artistes, and an amount of refinement is consequently obtained that sets rivalry at

defiance.

The programme having been duly gone through, a scene took place that almost baffles description. The whole audience rose en masse, cheering the performers. The latter returned the compliment with right good-will, and a succession of demonstrations followed, gaining rather than losing in strength, when the well-known strains of "God save the Queen" were pealed forth from the organ. This caused a cessation of the greeting, but the moment the National Anthem was concluded, "Partant pour la Syrie " was vociferously demanded, and the Guides gave it amidst the loudest applause from the whole audience.

Thus ended this eventful day. Success more unequivocal was never obtained, and we doubt not that from day to day the performances will become better and better as the performers become used to the accoustical proportions of the building.

The French vocalists met at the specified hour on Tuesday morning, and the performance was a decided improvement on that of the preceding day. Several of the pieces which produced a decided effect on Monday were repeated, and received by the audience with even greater favour than before. The director very judiciously with

nots, and Mozart's priest chorus, "O Isis," and in place thereof substituted "Les Enfants de Paris," and "La Retraite." These were much better adapted for displaying the characteristics of the Orphèonistes than were the above-named operatic pieces, and the audience appeared to be of our opinion, judging from the tumultuous encore which was accorded to each.

The "Guides" again played some of their best selections, and fully sustained their great renown.

The Palace was not so full as might have been expected, the number of visitors being between 11,000 and 12,000.

Thursday plainly showed that the excitement to hear the Frenchmen was on the increase, as nearly the whole of the centre transept was filled with stalls which were occupied by crowds of fashionables. It is not necessary for us to give the programme in detail, as it is as nearly as possible a repetition of the performances of the previous days; but the great body of vocalists evinced greater steadiness, and The whole selection consequently earned fresh laurels. went off with the utmost éclat, and at the termination a scene similar to that which took place on Monday was enacted-the audience and the performers alternately saluting each other with ringing and hearty cheers.

"God save the Queen" and "Partant pour la Syrie,” were played, sung, and shouted, and thus ended one of the great events of the season. The Orpheonistes have proved that France has a choral school of her own; for unthan did the performance of other pieces. This large body, doubtedly a greater success attended the French part-songs though never having previously met, displayed a regard for discipline that was most creditable to them and to their indefatigable conductor.

There is to be a farewell performance given to-day (Saturday); and we hear of a dinner to be given, at which Sir Joseph Paxton has promised to preside.

RAPHAEL'S "APOLLO AND MARSYAS."-The writer of the sub

joined letter, brother-in-law of Bendemann, the well-known hisDresden. He passed many years in Italy, devoting much time to torical painter, is professor of painting at the Royal Academy of the study of the great masters, and he is known as a critic on art. He countersigned Director Schnorr's attestation of the authenticity of the "Apollo and Marsyas " in the Dresden Journal of the 30th of last December.-"I most gladly accept the pamphlet on your superb painting by Raphael, which you have had the kindness to send me, and I thank you very much for it.

Accept, sir, the expression of the high consideration with which I subscribe myself, Julius Hübner, Dresden, 1860. To Mr. Morris Moore."

THE ORPHEONISTES.-The increasing enthusiasm of the public has induced the directors of the Crystal Palace to give a farewell performance of the Orpheonistes and the Guides this afternoon at three o'clock; the programme to comprise all the pieces which have been most favourably received during the three concerts. To sion of two shillings and sixpence only will be charged. Many of make the performance really popular, the usual Saturday admisthe rifle corps are expected to be present; also many of the competitors entered for the prize shooting at Wimbledon on Monday; among them, 150 Swiss riflemen in their picturesque dresses, who will arrive this day. Military bands in the grounds, and the display of the great fountains, will constitute an agreeable addition to the vocal performances. The general impression prevailed that the Queen would have been present at one of the concerts; but the secretary received a note, in reply to an application, from Sir Charles Phipps, stating that the engagements of Her Majesty and

of His Royal Highness would render it impossible for them to be clever and, in some cases, very difficult work, that it passed off with present at the performances.

MONDAY POPULAR CONCERTS.-The admirers of Mozart mustered in great force at St. James's Hall on Monday last, when the entire programme was devoted to that great master, and ample was the gratification afforded by the very choice selection, both vocal and instrumental. To begin with the latter, we had the lovely and always acceptable quintet in A major, in which Mr. Lazarus sustained the clarinet part in such a manner as fully to confirm his position as the highest living professor of his instrument. The violins, tenor, and violoncello, in the hands of Herren Becker and Ries, Mr. Doyle, and Signor Piatti, respectively one and all merit the highest praise; indeed, we may safely say that finer playing was never listened to. No less admirably rendered was the sonata in F (with variations) for pianoforte and violin, in which Miss Arabella Goddard and Herr Becker showed themselves inspired with the genius of Mozart, and were applauded to the echo, the lady being also recalled after her absolutely perfect execution of the sonata in B flat major, given for the first time at these concerts. The final quartet in G, No. 1, held the majority of the audience in their places till the last, more than repaying them for their attention. Mad. de Paez made her first appearance at the Monday Popular Concerts with decided success, the applause after Parto," the air from Titus (with clarionet obbligato superbly played by Mr. Lazarus), and "Voi che sapete" (Figaro), being both hearty and deserved. This lady has a very rich quality of voice, and we hope to hear her again shortly. Herr Hermanns displayed an organ of immense capability, singing two airs from Il Seraglio, in the latter of which he was encored. Mr. Sims Reeves, despite the slight hoarseness still remaining from his severe cold, sang as usual in a way that charmed his hearers beyond measure, and so exquisite was his delivery of that tender gem of melody, "Dalla sua pace," that nothing less than its repetition would satisfy the enthusiastic and delighted audience. The scheme for the Directors' benefit is before us, and comprises an excellent selection from the works of Beethoven, Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer, Spohr, Schubert, Scarlatti, and Rossini. (By the way, where is the French night that was promised?-the visit of the Orpheonistes would have afforded an excellent opportunity). The executants next Monday (the last concert let it be borne in mind) will be Miss Arabella Goddard, Mr. Charles Hallé, Messrs. Sims Reeves, Sainton, Santley, Goffrie, Doyle, Piatti, &c.

MR. HOWARD GLOVER'S CONCERT.-What may be styled a resumé of the present musical metropolitan season, took place (if we may use such a phrase) at St. James's Hall, on the afternoon of Thursday, when, in spite of the counter attraction of the "last Orpheoniste day" at the Crystal Palace, one of the most numerous and fashionable audiences ever gathered together in St. James's Hall" assisted" at the monster concert of Mr. Howard Glover. All the principal concert artistes of the season, including several of the latest arrivals (unknown to the British public) were pressed into the programme, which contained a veritable musical embarras de richesses. The first part of the concert was devoted to a very interesting selection of Mr. Howard Glover's works, including a novelty, in the shape of a musical setting to Southey's "Old Woman of Berkeley," most admirably sung by Miss Palmer, who rendered ample justice to the ingenious fancies of the composer, whose distinguished musical ability is perhaps even still more advantageously displayed in his cantata Tam O'Shanter, which was, on the present occasion, sung for the first time in London, by Mr. Sims Reeves, for whom it was originally composed. Mr. Reeves' name is always a tower of strength to any composition, and on the present occasion he fairly surpassed himself, for not only did he sing the music with all his wonted power and sweetness, but he displayed a fund of genuine humour, for which even his warmest admirers would not have given him credit. He pronounced the Lowland Scotch dialect admirably, and in fact, so artistic in every respect was his performance of this remarkably

the utmost éclat, and with Mr. Reeves for its interpreter (independent of its own intrinsic merits), Tam O'Shanter is now a sure success, even without a pianoforte to represent the orchestra, at any concert. As to the other portion of the programme, it is impossible to mention them even in detail; suffice it to say that Mesdames Parepa, C. Hayes, Artôt, Lemmens-Sherrington, Rieder, Sainton-Dolby, Palmer, Stabbach, Rudersdorff, GoldbergStrozzi, and Kapp Young, and Messrs. Belletti, Perren, and Thomas, sang a variety of well-known songs, and several new ones by Hatton and E. Aguilar, in French, English, and Italian, the majority of them being well received, though the audience wisely declined to encore anything; and it would be almost invidious to single any out for special eulogy. M. Sainton and Miss Arabella Goddard evoked marks of the heartiest approval by their irreproachable performance of the slow movement and finale, from Beethoven's famous Kreutzer sonata, as did also Herr Leopold de Meyer, in a fantasia of his own composition, and Herr Ritter, in some graphic and interesting solo pieces composed for the occasion by Mr. Howard Glover. Herr Molique also played some of his melodies for the violin with his truly classical purity of tone and expression, and, in addition to the talented bénéficiaire, there was a perfect brigade of musical generals to direct this vast armée d'artistes, gathered together for the delectation of his friends. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. The great attendance a month ago at the performance of Elijah, induced the announcement of a repetition, which took place on Friday the 22nd inst., and demands a word or two on account of some new features. The severe illness of Miss Parepa prevented her appearance; and Mad. Rudersdorff sang the principal soprano in a manner that leaves room for little but approbation. She has the requisite dramatic capability; and this can be said of but few of her contemporaries. Her "Hear ye, Israel," was an unimpeachable performance. Mr. Santley's singing of the Prophet decidedly gains upon us. It was always sung well; never with sufficient histrionic effect. It is in the latter qualification that the improvement is visible. Mr. Patey should remember that when he joins in quartett with such artists as Mads. Rudersdorff and SaintonDolby, and Mr. Sims Reeves, it is unpardonable to attempt to gain notice by singing too loudly. Among the numerous audience were numbers of the chiefs of the Orpheonistes, who were much delighted with the performance; and, with the characteristic impressionability of their race, were raised to rapturous wonder at Mr. Sims Reeves' marvellous singing of Then shall the righteous," and were greatly moved at Mad. Sainton's "O rest in the Lord," which is the climax of pathetic expression.

EXETER HALL. A performance of prize-glees, madrigals, and part-songs, by Mr. W. G. Martin, was given on Thursday the 21st, under the direction of the composer, the gentleman who so honourably officiated in the conductor's desk at the two recent juvenile choral exhibitions at the Crystal Palace. The chorus, we believe, was formed of Mr. Martin's classes, and numbered about one thousand voices. To vary the part-music, Mr. Sims Reeves sang "Adelaida," and a new song by Mr. Balfe, "I love you; and Miss Arabella Goddard played two popular morceaux -Ascher's fantasia on airs from Dinorah, and Thalberg's "Last Rose of Summer." Mr. Sims Reeves created a perfect furore in Mr. Balfe's new song, which was encored with thunders of applause. We have not for a long while heard a more charming song than "I love you," and never heard more exquisite singing than that of Mr. Reeves. How the great tenor sings "Adelaida," and how Miss Arabella Goddard accompanies him on the pianoforte, we need not say. The fair pianist created the accustomed sensation in both her pieces; the Irish fantasia exciting the audience to absolute enthusiasm, which compelled Miss Goddard to return to the platform and bow, although she declined (as usual) to repeat the performance. The execution of the glees, madrigals, and part-songs was for the most part excellent; of some, indeed, deserving of the highest praise. We may mention the partsong "The Evening Star,'" ditto "Our Saxon Fathers," "both encored; prize-glee, "Meek Twilight," for eight male voices, and part-song, "The Hemlock Tree." These were all admirably sung, and elicited loud applause. In the prize-glee, "The Merry Month of June," for soli and chorus, the voices were occasionally unsteady

and not always in tune. The exceptions were, however, rare, and the general performance must be pronounced excellent. The attendance was immense.

encores were numerous.

THE LONDON GLEE AND MADRIGAL UNION.-The 109th and last of the series of these popular entertainments was given last week, in the Royal Gallery of Illustration, before a crowded and enthusiastic audience. The programme included many of the favourite and most successful pieces introduced this season. The Mr. T. Oliphant (Literary Illustrator), delivered an appropriate farewell address which was received with acclamations. The following were among the observations made by that talented gentleman:-"Unaided by fashion, unheralded by any flourish of trumpets, with the very elements against us for no inconsiderable portion of the time, we have, through your kind and continued support, been enabled to carry out a series of entertainments for a duration almost unprecedented as regards music of the purely English school. We have wished to gain your attention by an appeal to your hearts, trusting to a natural and truthful expression of healthful poetry, combined with corresponding music, and that appeal, we are proud to find, has not been in vain. The programmes have contained upwards of 120 different compositions, and, with respect to their execution, although I may be supposed to be not an unbiassed critic, I can conscientiously say, that, after an experience of forty years in such matters, I have rarely, if ever, heard glees sung in greater perfection. With regard to my portion of the entertainment I will merely add that if in your estimation it has contributed in any way to its success, I am glad to have had it in my power to be of service to my friend Mr. Land, the director, and his talented associates, Miss Eyles, Miss Wells, Mr. Baxter, Mr. Cummings, and Mr. Lawler."-We anticipate with pleasure the revival of these performances in due course.

MR. HENRY LESLIE'S CHOIR.-The sixth and last Concert was given on Tuesday evening, when to the general company was added a number of the leading members of the Orphèonistes, who were invited to the performance by Mr. Henry Leslie. The programme comprised twenty-one pieces, of which no less than six were encored. These were-Mendelssohn's part-song, "Departure;" Goss's glee, "There is beauty on the mountain;" Pearsall's part-song, O, who will o'er the downs so free;" Mendelssohn's Forty-third Psalm;" Edwardes's madrigal, "In going to my lowly bed;" and Stevens's part-song, "The cloud-capt towers." The Orpheonistes, when they entered the hall, were received with tremendous cheers. At the end of the concert, the Choir sang for the Orpheonistes "Rule Britannia," and again repeated Mendelssohn's Psalm. The Frenchmen then drank Mr. Leslie's health, when Mr. Leslie returned thanks; and subsequently that of the ladies of the Choir was given, to which Miss Emily Gresham responded in a neat speech in French.

THE ENGLISH GLEE AND MADRIGAL UNION.-Third Concert. On Wednesday last a new list from the répertoire of this accomplished "glee party" (whose talents individually are of too high an order for solo music to be neglected by them) was given at Messrs. Collards' Concert Room in Grosvenor Street, which is fast becoming a popular venue. The selection comprised wellknown and always welcome glees and madrigals by Pearsall, Webbe, Horsley, Callcott, &c. The address to the capital of Ancient Mexico in Southey's Madoc, arranged by Callcott, is an elegant piece of concerted vocal music, and was sung to admiration. Two part-songs by Mr. J. L. Hatton, written for this Union, were also given; one of them, "The Sailor the deck is pacing," being vociferously encored. Mrs. Locke is still indisposed, and the lady sex is represented by Miss Banks alone; how capably and worthily the musical world is well aware.

an uproar of applause, which was only appeased by a repetition of the final movement. Miss Cole's other solo was Professor Bennett's "May-dew," a most exquisite song, and so perfectly sung, and so perfectly accompanied on the pianoforte by Mr. Charles The lady also took part Hallé, as to elicit a rapturous encore. in the following pieces:-Curschmann's trio "Ti prego," with Miss Palmer and Mr. Sims Reeves; Niedermeyer's quintet, "Pour les attraits," with Miss Augusta Thomson, Mlle. Behrens, Mr. Tennant, and Mr. Santley; the duet "Quis est homo," from Rossini's Stabat Mater, with Miss Palmer; and the prayer from Mosé in Egitto with all the principals., Mr. Sims Reeves sang Mr. Balfe's new song "I love you, encored; as he was also in Mr. Hatton's song "Sweet love, good and was tumultuously night to thee." Mr. Charles Hallé and Herr Becker performed the Duo Concertante of Osborne and De Beriot, on Guillaume Tell, in addition, a fantasia by Paganini with immense effect; and Mr. for pianoforte and violin, with brilliant success; Herr Becker, Hallé played three solos -"Nocturne," by Chopin; Stephen Heller's "Wanderstuden;" and one of Mendelssohn's "Lieder ohne Worte," to the intense enjoyment of the audience.

MISS SUSANNA COLE'S CONCERT took place on Thursday evening, at St. James's Hall, and was a very spirited affair, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Santley, Miss Palmer, and the London Glee and Madrigal Union being among the vocalists, and Mr. Charles Hallé and Herr Becker among the instrumentalists. Miss Cole was more than usually ambitious in selecting the grand scena from Der Freischütz, "Before my eyes beheld him," for one of her essays. The result, however, justified the attempt, for the young lady sang with so much power and brilliancy as to create

THE SOCIETY FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE FINE ARTS gave its fifth Conversazione on the evening of the 21st inst., at the Architectural Gallery, Conduit Street. In addition to the large and splendid collection of drawings and plans forming the Architectural exhibition, several new and eminent works of art were contributed for the occasion. There was also, as usual, a concert of vocal and instrumental music, sustained by Mad. Gilbert, Miss Fosbroke, Mrs. Paget, Mrs. F. Reilly, Mlle. Elvira Behrens, Mr. F. Reilly, Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Leonard, and M. Verzy, as singers; and Mr. Alfred Gilbert (piano) and Mr. W. H. Eayres (violin), instrumentalists. The capital performances were Mrs. Paget's "Rocked in the cradle of the deep; "Mad. Gilbert's "Deh, vieni non tardar;" Mr. Leonard's “Largo al factotum" and Wallace's "Bell-ringer"- each specially applauded; Mendelssohn's two-part song by Mad. Gilbert and Mlle. Behrens; and Mr. Hatton's song, "Sweet love, good night to thee," by Mr. Cunningham. Osborne and De Beriot's duet for piano and violin, on airs from Guillaume Tell, was admirably played by Mr. Alfred Gilbert and Mr. Eayres.

MISS MESSENT'S ANNUAL CONCERT, on Tuesday evening, at the Hanover Rooms, was a fair specimen of a mid-season benefit entertainment. The lady did not overlook the classical her audience, but presented them with Mendelssohn's trio in D minor, for piano, violin, and violoncello, executed by Mr. Charles Hallé, Herr Deichmann, and Herr Lidel, a veritable bon-bouche, more particularly as it was so finely performed. Mr. Charles Hallé added Chopin's "Nocturne" and "Grand Valse," which he played superlatively. Miss Messent contributed three solos, Mercadante's "Ah! rammento a lui d'accanto," new ballad, "Ask not why," composed expressly for her by Herr Francesco Berger, and the Scotch song, "Twas within a mile of Edinburgh town." Miss Messent sings simple ballads so prettily, that it seems a pity she should not turn her attention more to them and less to Italian bravuras, which, although she masters with suf ficient ease, do not exhibit her talents to so much advantage. Her reading and singing of the Scotch song were most charming. Vocal pieces were supplied by Mad. Catherine Hayes, Mlle. Von Kettler, Messrs. Wilbye Cooper, Santley, and Jules Lefort. Messrs. Francesco Berger, George Lake, and W. G. Cusins were

the conductors.

inst.) provided a host of singers, and some excellent entertainment. MRS. ALEXANDER NEWTON'S MATINEE (Collards' Rooms, 28th The lady herself sang Spohr's "Bird and Maiden," the cavatina, "Qui la voce," from I Puritani, and, with Miss J. Palmer, Mendelssohn's duet, "O wert thou in the cauld blast." Mrs. Newton's brilliant voice and dramatic style were well displayed in Bellini's cavatina, which was received with loud marks of approbation. Among the remaining vocal contributions most worthy of notice were Kucken's song, "I watch each shadow floating," by Miss Palmer; and Balfe's new song, "I love you"-made so popular by Mr. Sims Reeves's singing-given with great effect by Mad. Laura Baxter. The Brousil family executed some pieces, of which Spohr's Concerto Dramatique, No. 8, Mlle. Bertha Brousil, first

violin, though curiously altered from the original, was most admired.

HERR GUSTAVE HÖLZEL, the well-known basso of the Imperial Opera at Vienna, gave his private concert on Tuesday afternoon, at 88 St. James's Street. Some pleasing pieces of his own composition were sung with admirable expression. His comic lied, "Der lustage Postillon" was unanimously encored, as also was Mad. Rudersdorff's ballad of "Mein Liebster ist im Dorf der Schmidt." Mad. Tiefensée, and Messrs. Mayr, Kuhe, Eibenschutz, Oscar de la Cinna, and Steger (of the Imperial Opera, Vienna), were among the performers. The latter sang some characteristic Hungarian melodies with national feeling. Messrs. Kuhe and De la Cinna rivalled one another in their execution on the piano. The concert was highly successful.

MAD. LOUISA KAPP YOUNG, "Hof-Sangerinn" to the Court of Austria, gave her first concert in England, under distinguished patronage, on Monday last at Cambridge House, by permission of Viscountess Palmerston. Mad. Kapp Young possesses a rich and powerful voice, and much musical feeling. She was highly successful on the present occasion in Mozart's "Parto," from "La Clemenza di Tito," Mendelssohn's "Auf Flugeln des Gesangs," and Molique's "Gondolier's Song." The fair vocalist was ably assisted by Herr Molique and his accomplished daughter Mlle. Anna Molique, Signor Piatti, and Mr. Santley.

DUBLIN. (From a Correspondent.)-The twenty-third annual summer concert of the University Choral Society took place with considerable éclat on the 14th inst. Part I. Purcell's "Tempest Music;" romance (Adrienne Lecouvreur), Vera; duetto (Marta), Flotow ; "The Boat Scene" from Lurline;" quartett, "Soldier's Farewell," Kucken; "The Tiger crouches," chorus, Bishop. Part II.
