" Rains of Athens" comprised the therms, "Daughter of

by Stabiles& and Mr. Hamilton Brehm ; and the
wild and °Hemel " Charms of Dervishes." We have hoard

Mr. Lindsay Sloper, who is one of the most acoomplished
pianists of the day. His tone was full and resonant; his
execution clear, inn, and articulate ; and his style animated
and expressive. To hear so beautiful a work performed in 21
a manner so masterly was indeed a high pleasure. Nothing s-
wore unsuitable to Madame Tbillon could possibly have
been chosen than Mozart's " Non tamer." This florid, ne
dashing singer, is quite at boas in the mune of the modern so
French opera ; bat Mozart is quite oat of her way. If she did as

The interest attaching to the present election is

elections. The ruppression of banters and music, in con- St
sequence of the recent act of parliament in that behalf, hu le

which was invariably evinced at all contests. Beyond the et
