MUSIC.

MADAMS LOULSA. VINNI;NOS CONCERT.

Madame Louisa Vinaiug is a favourite of the
public, and deserves Ite favour. Endowed with extra-
ordinary gifts of nature, she became a musician from her
earliest years, and a life-long exercise of her profession bra
made her conversant with every branch of her art, the
stage excepted, which, we believe, she has never swayed,
but in the concert•room no singer of our day bra a more
extensive range. Whatever she does, she does admhably ;
sad her industry, steadiness, and punctual discharge of her
duties have ever rendered her one of the most useful and
trustworthy member of her profession. She has risen to an
eminent position ; and the same qualities which have ena-
bled her to gain it, will, in all human probability, make her
tenure of it luting.

Her annual coueert at the Hanover-square Rooms on
Wednesday more* was, as usual, an input entertain.

Mr. Allan Irving ; and a fantail' on the harp by the emi-
nent performer Mr. Aptommas made up the programme of
this interesting concert.

MISS FANNY CORFIELD'S CONCERT.

Miss Corfield is a young pianist of great talent,
who is rapidly rising to eminence. She is ipupil—alavourite
pupil, we have reason to believe—of Professor Sterndale
Beenett, to whose admirable instructions she of course owes
her excellent method and finished execution ; but she is in-
debted to her own innate Mae of intelligence, spirit, and
feeling for those higher qualities which enter into the con-
stitution of an artist. She has already gained a considerable
name; and the mall nee given by her on Wednesday at
Collards' Rooms, was attended by a crowded and fashion-
able audience. The concert consisted of music) of the most
classical kind. She herself played a trio of Beethoven, a
sonata of Clementi, two short pieces of Stephen Heller, and
Sterudale Bennett's beautiful chamber trio, in which, and
in the trio of Beethoven, she was accompanied by Herr
Molique and M. Patine. Several fine vocal pieces, sung by
Madame Guerrabella and Miss Manors Wilkinson, gave ad-
ditional interest to the concert.

SIGNORA JESSIE WHITE MARIO'S SECOND
LECTURE.
--•--
NAPLIS AND CAPRZILL.

This devoted and eloquent lady gave her second
and last lecture on Garibaldi's campaign, on Tuesday even-
ing, at St. Jamie's- hell, in the presence of • large and
enthusiastic audience of the friends of Italy. Mr. James
Stanafeld, M.P., was in the chair on this occasion, and
opened the evening by ► few apt and earned preparatory
sentences, chiefly claiming for the lady the well-earned right
to be heard as the advocate of the Italian cause, through
the services of her husband, and her own ; to which the
audience replied with an applause of twofold honour to the
name of Alberto Mario ; an applause continually repeated
throughout the lecture. The Signora began with
Garibaldi's Inaba. in Chisioria, or siseher4 with a
glowing tribute to the heroism of mazy of his
followers, which had made that landing paseible, followed
by the triumphant march to Naples. " ()avow and Napo-
leon rtrlllB Maznini and Garibaldi," gave occasion to a
somewhat vehement and declamatory exposition of "
ia-
trigus," of which the Signora, with true feminine self-devo-
tion, accepts the entire responsibility as " facts." " The
battle of the let October," with all its positions, was ex-
plained by the aid of large and clear maps, the Signora claim-
ing all the honours of that terrible and decisive day for the
Garibaldian heroes. The quiet return of Garibaldi to
Naples after the final battles, was contrasted with
the noisy reception of Victor Emmanuel ; the flaming
illuminations, the crash of military bands, the
deafening clamour, and all the paraphernalia of an official
welcome. Then came the night, when one whispered
murmur ran through the crowd, and tearful faces told each
other as they met that Garibaldi, having so far done his
work, and weary of spirit, after interviews that must
rest state-secrets, was gone away across the silent sea to
his solitary home amidst the rocks of Caprera. This epi-
sode, narrated with great feeling by the lecturer, affected
her audience visibly. At the close of the lecture Mr. II
Stanafeld again spoke a few words, warmly thanking Madame
Mario for her clear and touching eloquence, mid gracefully
apeman:lg his regret that her second lecture should be her
lest ; and then, turning from her to her hearers, he
asked them to express also their thanks and "Fare-
well," as the English people know on occasion
how to do. This telling apostrophe brought several
rounds of cheering, after which Signora Mario again
rose, and waiving all claim to personal thanks or compli-
ments, simply asked her English audience to translate their
generous interest into contributions to the fund (for
the promotion and completion of Italian unity), of
which Mr. W. H. Ashurst is the treasurer. She had pre-
viously, in the course of her lecture, taken the opportunity
of thanking the English people for former contributions
which had been given to Garibeldian prisoners, who must
otherwise have died within the prisons of Capua. These
contributions, we may add, were conveyed within the
enemy's walls by the Signora herself ; a fact which, as a
personal matter, she did sot mention, but which her friends
have not forgotten.

There was an award of thanks to Mr. Stanfield u chair-
man, and with another round of hearty cheers for Garibaldi
and Italy, the audience went upon their way.

CRYSTAL PALACE.

The great meeting of the archers of the United
Kingdom commenced ye terday in the grounds of the
Crystal Palace. Upwards of 90 competitors entered the
lists, including 30 lady archers, amongst whom were some
of the most noted toxophilites in England. The weather
WAX fine, the grounds were in the best possible condition,
and a goodly company were attracted to see the shooting,
which was commenced by the gentlemen at eleven
o'clock. The following made the hest scores :
Mr. F. Townsend, woodman of order; Mr. G. Ed-
wards, Aston-park Archers; Mr. H.B. Hare, West Somerset
Archers ; Mr. H. A. Ford, Cheltenham Archers ; Mr. W.
Swire, Vale of Mowbssv Archer. ; Colonel Clowns, Wor-
cestershire Ambers ; and Mr. Spalding, Royal Texopholite
Society. At half-past one the archers retired for luncheon,
to the tents erected for that purpose on the grounds, after
which shooting was resumed by both ladies and gentlemen,
and continued till the specified number of arrows was shot
off. The shooting by both was excellent. The band of the
Coldstream Guards performed on the ground daring the
day. The competition will be resumed today, when the
winners will be declared, and the prizes delivered at the
conclusion of the contest.

At the meeting of the Society of Arts, last evening,
Earl Granville, K.G., iu the chair, the paper read was "Ou
the International Exhibition of len," by Mr. William
Hawes.
