Pit ILIIARDIONIC SOCI(tTY.—The fifth concert, which
took place last night. presented but few points of more than
average interest. The symphonies were Haydn's in II Oat
(No. 4 of the set written 'or Salomous' concerts) and
Beethoven'sF, both of which wero rendered with
t..e precision and intelligence which are now become a
matter of course, under Signor C•nsta's conductorship. The
chief instrumental performance, indeed the principal feature
of the evening, was Mr. Sterndale Bennett's execution of
Mozart's pianoforte Concerto in minor, which was
rendered with a delicacy ■nd refinement worthy of both
composer and eaecutant. Mr. Bennett's style of playing
is expressive reel er than brilliant. Ile appeals to the in-
telligent few, rather than to the wonder-eceking crowd; and
although he has ample mauipulative powers, his claims rest
on the higher qualities et intellectual expression end
classical taste. Mon at's pianoforte concertos do not offer
the Mime massive and grand effects to be found in those of
Beethoven; they are rather like finished miniatures —an
aggregation of minute beauties and delicate graces, that are
hest appreciated in • limited space. It is difficult, there-
fore, for any player to produce much effect on a mined
audience in a large room, however excellent may be his
performance of these charming works. l'erhaps no pianist
of the present day is so lit an interpreter of them
se Mr. Bennett, and his playing of last night was recognised
by all the informed among his audience as a pure and mas-
terly interpretation of • classical work. The cadences which
be introduced were his own, and were worthy of the occa-
sion. The novelty of the evening was a new MS. overture
" Titania," composed by Mr. Oriesbach. it is intended to
be (as the programmes informed or) "descriptive of the as.
sembling of the their revels, &c.," and illustrative of
a motto from " A Midsummer Night's Dream." This is a
hold attempt, after the way in which Mendelsohn has illus-
trated the sante subj, et, end Mr. Oriesbach must be con-
tent with the diaper iging comparisons which necessarily
arise. his overture is devoid of anything like •
leading ides—it has the eifie' of • work written at various
intervals of very short sitting., so little is there of continuous'
thought—and gives evidence of greater powers of memo',
than of invention. Thedeecriptive portMns—the" Fairy
veil," consist of paamgcs of pimiento ant reiterated staccato 1,
chords for the wind-instrument, which were introduced by
Weber and Mendelsohn ; but although Mr. Orieshaeh km
a•ight some of the forms in which these imaginative writes,
clothed their poetic thoughts, he has none of the spirit. We
cannot wonder at or condemn the composer for en-'
deavouring to procure the performance of his over
; hut we do not con,idtr the directors were
justified in selecting • work whose pretensions so
far outweigh its merits. The vocal music was a mixture of
good and bad. Of the former CUM, were Beethoven's seems
•• Ah pertide," and the aria " Come scoglio," from Mozart's
Coal fan tutte"—both somewhat coldly given by Madame
Ciudellau—who, also, sang a duet of Dooizetti's with Mario,
The remaining vocal piece was • vapid air by Mereadante,
wits, unworthy of Mario's powers, and the concert con-
'•d with Mozart's overture to " Zauberthate."

gbt Drama.
HAT3tAltli6T.-- AMATEUR. PKRVORIf ANCZ.— The
amateur performance in aid of the fund for the endowment
of a perpetual curatorship of Shakspeare's house, took place
last evening in the Haymarket Theatre. The Foley was the
"Merry Wives of Windsor," and the principal performers
were the gentlemen distingui.hed in literature and art,
whose previous performances of this nature have already
attracted so much notice. Its announcement created much
interest; and, noteithstanding the high prices of admission,
the audience was sufficiently large to contribute a consider-
able sum to the Wad, which. it is intimated, is en-
tirely distinct from the fund now raising far the pur-
chase of the howls. The comedy was got up with
great can, and the utmost attention to correctness in
all the accessories of the stage. The costumes, strictly of
the age ef Henry the Fourth, were entirely different
from anything we bad ever seen in any representation of thc
play, and gave a novel and aingular effect to many of the
garages The most remarkable performance was that of
crilohn Fenny in the character of Ford. It would in
every respect have done honour to an eminent professional
actor. His picture ef the jealous husband was strong and
impassioned, without paring the bounds which always
ought to divide comedy from tragedy, or ever throwing a
cloud over the sunshine of this most charming piece. Falstaff
wuexcellently performedby Muldark Lemon; and the wenn
between him and Ford were the but in the play. Falstaff's
description of hi. disasters in the buck-basket was not more
sich in humour than Ford's forced attempts at merriment to
cover his contusion, which was truly natural and comic. Mr.
Charles Dickens m .de as much of Justice Shallow as
could be expected ; but it is not in this play,
but in " Henry the Fourth," that the worthy Gloucester-
shire magistrate appears in his glery. In the "Merry
Wives of Windsor" Shallow has some humorous traits at
the outset, which Mr. Dickens brought out with great feli-
city ; but, after the first act, the part sinks into insignificance.
Slender was personated by Mr. John Leech. His attire was
extremely fantastic; but we were informed, on excellent
authority, that he was a complete picture of a finished fop
of the loth ctutury. The lackaduisical silliness of the cha-
racter waste ll supported. The Welsh panon, Evans, WU
elengly ac by Mr. G. U. Lewes ; and Dr. (rajas, the
Fri nett physician, not less so by Mr. Dudley Costello. The
duel scene pn.duced great amusement. Mr. George Cruick-
shank hit off the swagger of Pisrof most succesatully ; end
Mr. Frederick Dickens gave good elfect to the bluff heartiness
of "Mine Host of the Garter." The funelecharacters were
admirable. As Mrs. Ford, Miss Forteacue was elegant and
ladylike in her mirthfulness; Miss Kenworthy as lively and
awreeahle we Mrs. Page ; and " sweet Ants Page" had, in
Miss Anne How r, a representative not unworthy of the
epithet. Though last, nut least, Mrs. Cowden Clarke's Mrs.
Quickly was a piece of pure and genuine comedy, which
could hardly be excelled. Great taste was shown in the
management of some of the scenic effects. The fairy revels
at Herne's Oak were exereding quaint and pretty. The
comedy was followed hp Mrs. Inchbalti's well known farce,
" Animal Magnetiam," performed by Messrs. Charles
Dickens, Mark Lemon, John Leech, George Cruikshank,
and Misses Forteseue and Anne Romer. It was acted with
great spirit, and kept the, audience is a roar. The whole
performances of the evening were highly successful. To-
morrow evening there is to be another similar performance
for the same object t the piece. are " Every Man in his
Humour," and " Love, Law, and Physic."
