of his capital), but, prompted by her affection, she decides The writer in the Saturday Review is annoyed at the MONDAY POPULAR CONCERTS. THE ninth concert differed somewhat from its predecessors, in which the entire vocal or instrumental music has been by one composer, whereas the programme on this occasion was devoted to various masters. The selection was, however, admirable, and afforded no less delight to the audience. The quartets (Spohr in G major, Op. 58, and Beethoven in C sharp minor, Op. 132, hitherto classed as "Posthumous") were heard for the first time at the Monday Popular Concerts, and quite as keenly relished as those works with which the public has been rendered more familiar. The former is one of the most spontaneous and graceful compositions of the late lamented master, and in the hands of Messrs. Sainton, Goffrie, Doyle, and Piatti, was interpreted to absolute perfection. No less admirable was the rendering of the Beethoven quartet-one of the series (if we remember rightly) given by Herr Joachim last year, at Willis's Rooms. This was listened to throughout with the most profound attention, and the discriminating applause evinced an appreciation, on the part of the audience, which strongly marks the advanced musical taste of the age. M. Sainton's leading of this masterpiece was faultless throughout-as intellectual as mechanically irreproachable-in short, a thing not easily to be forgotten. Herr Pauer made his first appearance at those concerts, in Hummel's very fine pianoforte sonata in F minor-also heard for the first time-playing so admirably and affording so much satisfaction as fully to entitle him to the applause and recall with which he was honoured at the end. Herr Pauer also joined Messrs. Sainton and Piatti in Haydn's trio in G major, which brought the concert to a close. Miss Theresa Jefferys and Miss Palmer divided the vocal music, the former lady singing in Macfarren's charming song, "Canst thou deem my heart is changing?" (from Charles the Second), and Haydn's canzonet, "In thee I bear so dear a part," an encore being unanimously awarded to the last. This young lady bids fair to become a valuable acquisition to the concert-room, her unaffected style telling considerably in her favour, Shelley's "Lament," called "Swifter far than summer's flight," (set by Mr. J. W. Davison) has been previously sung by Miss Palmer at these concerts, and was on Monday night given with such genuine pathos and artistic feeling, that the young lady was compelled to return to the platform and bow her acknowledgments. Miss Palmer also gave Mr. Vincent Wallace's new and beautiful song, "The Bell-ringer" (words by John Oxenford), with no less success. In Mendelssohn's genial and characteristic duet, | "Maybells and the Flow'rets," the two ladies acquitted them of the programme will be selected from the works of Beethoven, selves admirably. At the next concert the instrumental portion comprising amongst other things the Pastoral Sonata in D Major for pianoforte, the trio in C Minor, and the quartet in F (op. 18). Mr. Hallé and Herr Molique are engaged. CONCERTS. EYRE ARMS CONCERT ROOM.-Mr. George Forbes gave his second subscription concert in the above room on Monday evening. The singers were Miss Clari Fraser, Miss Gerard, Miss Lascelles, and Signor Belletti; the instrumentalists, with Mr. Forbes, MM. Sainton and Bezetli (violin) and M. Papé and were elevated into excitement by two performances only(clarinet). The audience were more attentive than enthusiastic, M. Sainton's solo, and the duet from Rossini's Matilda di Shabran, "Di capricci," sung by Miss Clara Fraser and Sig. Belletti, both of which were encored tumultuously, and most deservedly. We never heard M. Sainton play more splendidly. The brilliant duet of Rossini was admirably sung by both artists, it concert-room. That it will not be her last, the eminent success being, we believe, the lady's first essay in florid music in the Miss Clari Fraser also sang Haydn's she achieved will ensure. canzonet, "My mother bids me bind my hair," Balfe's song. "There is a name I never breathe," Alexander Lee's ballad, "Meet me in the willow glen," and joined Miss Lascelles in the duet "Ah! perdona," from Mozart's Clemenza di Tito. Haydn's song was beautifully given, and with that earnestness of feeling without the least display, which makes this young lady's singing so remarkable. Mr. Balfe's song was also charmingly sung, and pleased universally. Miss Lascelles sang the contralto song from Dinorah well, but took it somewhat too slow; and Miss Gerard attempted, in Signor Belletti vain, Pacini's cavatina, "Il soave bel contento." gave the magnificent air of the Count "Mentro io sospiro," from the Nozze di Figaro, and the air "Il mio piano e preparato," from the Gazza Ladra, both very finely, in a manner, indeed, hardly to be surpassed by any living barytone. The principal instrumental piece was Dussek's sonata in B flat, for violin and piano, played by Mr. Forbes and M. Bezeth, with which the concert opened, and which on both hands was remarkably well executed. Mr. Forbes also played a solo of his own, and M. Papé two fantasias, one of which would have been quite enough. We THE SOCIETY FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE FINE ARTS.On Thursday evening this society held its "opening soirée for the season 1860," at the Suffolk-streeet Gallery, Pall-mall East; pictorial and vocal attractions of no ordinary interest being provided for the occasion. The former consisted in the extensive and choice collection of pictures of the modern British school, belonging to Mr. Wallis, which covered the walls, and at whose invitation the réunion took place at these rooms; the latter, of a performance of madrigals, part songs, and other choral music, by some sixty or seventy members of the Vocal Association, who had volunteered their services for the occasion. shall confine our critical observations to the choral display, which was the feature of the evening, and, amongst many musical performances, was striking, for its novelty, uniformity, Mr. Benedict and Dr. James Pech were the and purpose. conductors of a choir which they had evidently sedulously trained. The volume of tone, and the precision and expression displayed by them were at once striking and gratifying in the highest degree. About a dozen pieces were performed, being selections from Bortniansky, Bishop, Smart, Benedict, &c., and included new four-part songs by Dr. James Pech, now sung for the first time, entitled respectively "Three Wishes," a spirited motive, and "The Bridal Morn," a melody of a more sentimental class. One or two of the pieces were encored; all went off amidst applause-the two novelties, in particular, being eminently successful. Upwards of eight hundred personsmembers and their friends-assembled at this agreable soirée, which may be said to have gone off with distinguished éclat. The council promises six conversazioni of a similar character at one or other of the various exhibition galleries of the metro- the society for the past year has amounted to the large sum of polis in the course of the season. £13,147. The business, which was proceeded with after the reading of NORWICH.-The annual performance of The Messiah, by the Festival Choral Society, took place in St. Andrew's Hall, on the 23rd instant, when it was as usual attended by a crowded audience. With the exception of the tenor part (which was sung by Mr. Morgan, of London), all the solos were taken by members of the society. The band and chorus, consisting of above three hundred performers, were very effective. Mr. Harcourt presided at the organ, and Mr. J. F. Hill conducted the performance. CONCERT AT BROADWOOD'S-(From an Occasional Contributor).On Monday evening, the 23rd inst., a concert of peculiar interest took place at the Hanover-square Rooms, in which the performers, as far as the gentlemen were concerned, were in Messrs. Broadwood's employ, and the ladies were either their relations or friends. The sale of tickets had been strictly private, and confined to Messrs. Broadwood's establishment; hence much of the interest of the performance, as testifying largely to the increasing taste, in this country, for music. A few years ago the concert could not have been possible, nor could so appreciative an audience, of its class, have been gathered together. The prices of tickets were low, 18., 1s. 6D., and 3s. 6D. By-the-bye, the notion of reserving seats for an additional sixpence must have been borrowed from the New Adelphi; be that as it may, the greater portion of the room was so reserved, it must, therefore, have been found convenient. The room was full to the highest seat in the orchestra, but no inconvenience was felt as, at a certain point, the sale of tickets was stopped. The boxes were occupied by members of the firm and their friends. It must have been very gratifying to them to see so large an audience, the connection of which with themselves was more or less immediate, respectable and happy. Strikes can never be known when such intimate relations between the employers and employed exist. A more good-tempered and determined-to-be-pleased audience could not well have been assembled, nor could a better performance, under the circumstances, have been expected. Some madrigals and part-songs were very well sung. A Miss Fanny Herbert (?) sung the "Zingara," by Donizetti, and "Where art thou wandering," by Frank Mori. We should almost think the latter were her master. Miss Herbert has a sympathetic and flexible soprano voice, and must yet be a valuable addition to our Concert Rooms. A great success also, was the earnest singing of Mr. French in the ballad of "The Willow Tree," composed by Mr. S. Pratten, for Mr. Santley, a year or so since. Why is it still MSS., Mr. Pratten? The words were, with many others, contributed to these columns, by Mr. James Hipkins, who is, we believe, engaged in Messrs. Broadwood's manufactory. It was vociferously redemanded, and was repeated in extenso. Good voices seemed plentiful. A Mr. Brook displayed a very powerful tenor voice in "Come if you dare," and "The Death of Nelson." A Mr. Garnett also, a lighter tenor, gained much applause in "My pretty Jane." The face of Mr. Murray, one of the basses, has surely been, for years, before the public. Mr. Murray gave "On by the spur of valour goaded" with emphasis and power. It was remarkable to notice the very English character of the selection. Shield and Purcell, with the patriotic songs of Braham, seemed to be much in vogue. It is said of Shield, that, on certain days, he always dined with old Mr. John Broadwood. Many interesting memories are connected with Broadwood's house. The instrumental portion of the concert was divided into two piano solos by Miss Ellen Bliss, one of which was encored, and two violin solos by Mr. Blackmore, one of Messrs. Broadwood's tuners. This gentleman, for an amateur, exhibits much practical skill. The object of the concert was to add to the funds of the Work-Reichardt's "I know an eye so softly bright," rendered with infinite men's Library, a self-supporting and valuable institution, in Messrs. Broadwood's Manufactory. As more than a thousand persons were present, a good result must have been secured. The concert was conducted by Mr. A. I. Hipkins, and reflects credit upon all concerned in it. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.-The twenty-sixth annual meeting of members of the society took place this week in the minor hall, Exeter Hall. The chair was filled by J. N. Harrison, the president. Mr. Thomas Brewer, honorary secretary, read the report. It appears that the last year, as it respects the society's subscription list, is considerably in advance of any former period. A considerable portion of the report was occupied with details in reference to the Handel Commemoration at the Crystal Palace, in June last, which have, however, been before the public. The gross number of persons who attended the festival was 80,720, the entire receipts being £34,921. The total expenditure was £15,236, leaving a balance of £19,685 divisible between the Crystal Palace Company and the Sacred Harmonic Society. By the terms of the agreement between the two bodies, the Sacred Harmonic Society became entitled to one-third of the surplus profits; but having regard to the complete success of this unparalleled undertaking, they exceeded the sum for which they originally contracted to complete the musical arrangements by £2,095, thus leaving the net profits receivable by them £4,480 5s. 9d. There is also an amount of £1,103 19s. 3d. credited to the society's accounts, arising from the division of a guarantee fund carried over from the preliminary festival of 1857. It appears from the report that the total expenditure of BELFAST,-The Anacreontic Society's second concert came off at the Music Hall, with all the anticipated success. The room was crowded. Mr. Balfe and his daughter had caused disappointment here, as elsewhere; but no dissatisfaction could have been experienced with the artists who kept their engagement:-Mdlle. Corbari, Madame Badia, Madame Fiorentini, Herr Reichardt, Sig. Tagliafico, and Mr. J. L. Hatton; Sig. Sivori (violin), Sig. Bottesini (contra basso), Herr Engel (harmonium), and Mr. Brinley Richards. The whole concert was distinguished by spirit and animation; no flagging whatever, nor the slightest sign of weariness appeared when the latest hour of the night was being encroached upon. The society began the concert with a part of Mozart's symphony, Jupiter, Herr Kerbusch conducting, with his usual judgment, and Mr. H. Loveday leading, Mdlle. Badia commenced with a song by Signor Badia, of a lively character. Herr Reichardt and Signor Tagliafico then gave Goldberg's duo, "The Mariners," the hearty voice of Tagliafico, and the soft and expressive notes of Reichardt blending with the best possible effect, and eliciting deserved applause. Signor Sivori delighted his auditory in a solo of the Paganini school. In a duo with Signor Bottesini he equally distinguished himself, whilst the latter fully maintained his character as an unrivalled master of the contra basso. Mdlle. Corbari displayed a fine soprano voice, and sang a bravura air with the greatest animation and fluency. Madame Fiorentini's style of singing was not so full of life and expression as Mdlle. Corbari's, but distinguished by ease and steadiness. The second part opened with the overture to the Siege of Corinth. Signor Bottesini gratified the auditory by his Andante with Variations, the rondo from Sonnambula being rendered with exquisite grace and effect. Such delicate tones from the double bass have rarely been heard. We should be very forgetful did we neglect to mention Herr sweetness, taste, and expression. The feeling which he threw into this charming song "might have soothed the brow of Saul," and nothing could be more deserving of the enthusiastic and protracted applause which followed. Herr Reichardt gave a lively song ("Are they meant but to deceive me"-translated from the Polish by John Oxenford), instead of the one re-demanded, which gave equal satisfaction. Herr Engel introduced the harmonium, and showed his audience what might be done with that popular instrument. The society gave two specimens of their own vocalism-a part-song, "When evening's twilight," and a chorus, "Now, warlike deeds"-both in a creditable manner. The pianoforte playing of Mr. Brinley Richards was on a par with the excellence of the rest of the concert; and, on the whole, the evening was so well spent, and the performance so creditable to both profes sional and amateur artists engaged, that we can find no fault with the manner in which the Anacreontic Society have commenced the year 1860. WAKEFIELD.——On Friday week Handel's Messiah was performed at the Corn Exchange, by a full band and chorus, numbering upwards of two hundred performers. The proceeds are to be devoted to the Church Restoration Fund. The spacious hall was crowded to suffocation, the front seats being filled by a very select company, most of whom were in full dress. The band and chorus were the finest ever heard in Wakefield, if, indeed, one superior was ever gathered in the West Riding. It included a large number of the best performers from all parts of the Riding, many of whom gave their services gratuitously. Amongst the violinists we noticed Messrs. Shaw and White, of York; Tennant, of Dewsbury; and Phillips, of Wakefield. Mr. J. Emmerson, of Wakefield, presided at the organ, and Mr. Donager, of Wakefield, was principal flautist; trumpet, Mr. Lofthouse; and conductor, Mr. Phillips, of Sheffield. The principal vocalists were Mrs. Sunderland, Miss Fitton, Mrs. Lofthouse, and Miss New bound; and Messrs. Inkersall, H. Wilson, and Lambert, of the Chapel Royal, Windsor. The whole of the arrangements reflect great credit upon the management, and we doubt not the effect will be apparent in a substantial addition to the Restoration Fund.- Wakefield Express. BIRMINGHAM.-The third and last of the present series of concerts given by the members of the "Birmingham Musical Union," took place at Dee's Assembly Room, on the evening of Monday last. Mozart's Quartet (No. 7), as the opening piece, was well given by Messrs. Hay. ward, Alfred, Clementi, and Lidel, and made a deep impression, especially in the second movement, an exquisite andante. Miss Lascelles sang an aria from the Huguenots, and a scena from the Orpheus of Gluck. Mr. H. Hayward gave a violin solo of his own composition, consisting of two movements, an andante, and a polonaise, with pianoforte and harmonium accompaniments, in which he made many clever points. The great performance of the evening was the Beethoven quartet (op. 16), which introduced Mr. Barnett to a Birmingham audience. Clearness and facility of touch were the characteristics of his playing, and these qualities admirably adapted him for the work before him, in which he was ably assisted by Messrs. Hayward, Clementi, and Lidel. The andante cantabile movement, marked by its graceful reminiscence of Mozart's "Batti, batti," as a motivo, was especially good. Mr. Barnett selected for his solo performance the numbers six and three of the third book of Mendelssohn's Lieder ohne Worte; and, if we except the reading of the last portion of No. 6, the performance was perfect. Messrs. Duchemin and Lidel gave a sonata for pianoforte and violoncello with a spirit and at a speed that would have been hazardous to any but first-rate artists. They were deservedly applauded for the brilliant result of their joint efforts. The performances of the evening were brought to a conclusion by Hummell's trio (Op. 93), in which Mr. C. E. Flavell, at the pianoforte, maintained his well-earned reputation as a most finished performer, and, being well supported by the strings of Messrs. Hayward and Lidel, the result was exceedingly gratifying, forming, as it did, so successful a finale to the second season of the "Union," to the members of which the musical public of Birmingham are highly indebted. ADVERTISEMENTS. TH THEATRE ROYAL DRURY LANE.-Lessee Mr. E. T. SMITH.-JACK ET LA TIGE DE FEVE.-Sous le règne du Grand Alfred vivait une pauvre femme qui avait à peine de quoi supporter sa misérable existence et celle de son jeune garçon. Elle avait en vaine essayé d'améliorer son sort, car dans ce qu'elle entreprenait tout tournait contre elle. Cet enfant, qu'elle amait tant, était loin de la consoler par son zèle et sa conduite; semblable à beaucoup d'enfans de son âge, il préférait le jou à tout. Un jour sa bonne mère lui dit, les larmes aux yeux, "Jack, il ne nous reste plus rien que notre vache, et il faut nous en défaire ou périr de faim." Jack partit donc pour le marché, et pour rendre, son voyage plus agréable se mit à chanter toutes sortes de chansons, jusqu'à ce qu'il eut rencontré un boucher qui l'aborda d'un air fort amical. Cet homme avait son plan, et il songeait à le mettre à exécution tandis que tous deux poursuivaient leur route en devisant de chose et d'autres. Ce méchant homme flt si bien qu'il persuada au pauvre Jack de lui vendre sa vache pour quelques fèves de la plus brilliante couleur. Jack qui n'en savait pas plus long, se laissa attraper, et croyant avoir fait une excellente affaire, il retourna chez sa mère. Lorsque sa mère vit quel triste marché il avait conclu, elle prit toutes les fèves et lui dit : «Est-ce là, méchant enfant, le tour que je devais attendre de toi? Tous mes soins, toute mon affection ne pouvaient-ils t'inspirer un peu de bon sens? Qui vondrait s'imaginer qu'un enfant tel que toi, si malin lorsqu'il s'agit de faire quelque drôle de tour, serait assez sot que d'abandonner notre vache, notre dernière ressource, pour une poignée de fèves?" Ce disant, elle alla jeter les fèves dans un plant de choux, et envoya Jack coucher sans souper. Le lendemain matin, Jack vit avec surprise que les fèves avaient en une seule nuit pris racine et erû d'une manière vraiment extraordinaire. Il courut chercher sa mère, et l'amena prês d'une tige de fève qui avait certainement les dimensions d'un arbre dont la tige se perdait dans les nuages. La bonne femme resta toute ébahie, et se perdit en conjectures sur la croissance subite d'une telle tige de fève. Quant à Jack, s'étant assuré de la solidité de la tige, il résolut de grimper jusqu'en haut, dans l'espérance d'avoir plus de chance dans cette enterprise que dans la première. Sa mère ne le vit pas monter sans éprouver quelques craintes; mais Jack la rassura. "Chère maman," lui dit-il, "j'ai le pressentiment que cette tentative tournera à notre avantage, ainsi ne vous tourmentez pas, j'ai du courage et de l'activité, et je crois que la moment est venu de vous prouver que je suis un bon fils." Après avoir monté quelque temps, il atteignit la cime de l'arbre, il en était temps, car ses jambes étaient fatiguées, et ses mains n'avaient plus la force de le soutenir. Il aperçut alors une contrée triste et déserte. Il y aborda, s'assit et se mit à réfléchir. Bientôt après parut une fée couverte de vêtements magnifiques et entourée d'une lumière resplendissante. Elle lui adressa la parole avec bonté et lui dit, "Mon enfant, il faut partir à l'instant pour aller punir l'ogre qui est votre ennemi le plus invétéré. C'est lui qui a tué votre père, et s'il vous a épargné ainsi que votre mère, c'est sous la condition qu'elle ne révélerait jamais ce qu'elle sait. Les richesses de votre père sont cachées dans le château de l'ogre. Ainsi donc, suivez mon conseil, partez et allez à ce château.” Il se mit de suite en route et atteignit avant la nuit le vaste château des géants. Il frappa à la porte, et vit bientôt avec la plus grande surprise une femme de proportions monstrueuses, dont les gros yeux fixes eussent suffi pour donner la chair de poule. Cependant, malgré sa laideur, elle n'avait pas un air refrogné, et elle sourit en regardant Jack. Le pauvre garçon essaya de balbutier quelques mots, qu'elle interrompit en lui demandant, d'une voix assez semblable au bruit d'un gong, ce qu'il voulait à cette heure avancée. Jack reprit un peu de courage en se rappelant ce que lui avait dit la fée. Il la salua avec beaucoup de respect, et après s'être excusé d'avoir frappé si fort à la porte, il la pria instamment de lui donner un morceau de pain et un abri pour la nuit. "Vous ne savez guerè, mon cher petit, ce que vous demandez. Je suis la femme du grand ogre à qui ce château appartient, et quiconque y entre doit y laisser la vie. Mais je vois avec peine que vous êtes très fatigué, et je n'aurai pas la cruauté de vous chasser. Venez avec moi, j'essaierai de vous cacher dans mon grand chaudron. Mais ne l'oubliez pas, il faut que vous soyez parti avant la pointe du jour," Jack entendit bientôt l'ogre qui rentrait, et qui d'un ton bourru, demandait qu'on lui apporta son souper. Il appela ensuite sa poule et lui commanda de pondre quelques œufs d'or; ensuite il s'endormit, et se mit à ronfler. Le bruit qu'il faisait ressemblait au tonnerre. Alors Jack s'aventura à passer un peu la tête hors du chaudron et vit ces œufs si brilliants, qui n'étaient pas lein de sa portée. Tout à coup il prit son courage à deux mains, a'élança hors du chaudron, empocha les œufs d'or, et ayant attiré vers lui la poule, il s'en empara et s'enfuit. Il retrouva bientôt son énorme tige de fève et descendit sans perdre un seul moment. Sa mère, qui le croyait perdu, fut enchantée de la revoir; mais elle ne put contenir sa joie en voyant son cher Jack sortir de sa poche sa provision d'œufs d'or; il lui raconta comment il s'en était emparé, et avec quel empressement il les lui avait apportés. "Le géant," continua-t-il, "s'eveilla et se mit à courir après moi pour avoir sa poule favorite; mais mes jambes valaient mieux que les siennes, aussi suis-je descendu de la tige sans lever les yeux, de peur du monstre armé de sa massue." Jack s'empressa de chercher une maison comlui fit penser à la fameuse tige de fève, et il se décida à tenter une mode et bien approvisionée pour sa mère; puis l'amour des aventures autre excursion. Il se déguisa, et le jour suivant il grimpa lestement à l'ogre. Cette fois-ci il s'empara de la belle harpe du géant, le harpe la cime de la tige et pénétra adroitement jusque dans le château de s'écria, "Maître, maître!" Mais Jack gagna son arbre au plus vite, été atteint par l'ogre, qui le poursuivait armé d'une grosse pierre. Jack et avec l'aide des bonnes fées, il s'esquiva avec l'instrument, sans avoir était trop vif et trop agile pour se laisser prendre. Le géant le voyant échapper à sa poursuite voulut aussi profiter de la tige de fève et so mit à descendre avec précaution. Mais Jack, qui était arrivé très vite en bas, alla chercher une hache, et en quelques coups il coupa la tige par sa base, de sorte que l'ogre tomba à terre roide mort. Alors parurent les bonnes fées, qui dirent à Jack, "Aujourd'hui vous avez vengé votre père, vous êtes riches, et vous, ainsi que votre mère, vous du courage que vous avez montré.” aurez une existence heureuse, digne récompense de la persévérance et GLEES, MADRIGALS, & OLD ENGLISH DITTIES.
