AMATEUR MUSICAL SOCIETY.

The third concert of the meson took pleas list
night at the Hanovertquare Rooms, which were filled with
an overflowing audience. The instrumental selection com-
prised Mossit's symphony in minor, ➢eethoven's first
pianoforte concerto L C seer, sad ouartorm ►y Hale aad

Mozart's chanties symphony was very steadily and
'festively gives, leaving little to be desired bored some-
w►at more attention to the patios. Beetiteus's first sea-

sot comparable in grandeur of dens or eisboratioa of idea
to his sabsequest concertos, it is as admirable specimen of
his early stylr—sherseterised by freshness of thought, dear-
ases of structure, and sweetness of melody. It was per
formed oa this ameba by Mr. B. W. Wally, whose selec-
tion of this seldom-heard work does credit to his tuts and
judgment. Kr. Wiley is well knows as one of oar fret
amateur plaiting, sad his performasse last night was such

free sad elan", tonsil, sad eertaiaty of execution, Mr.
Wiley left nothhtg to be desired; while his performaass
had a higher writ than these is the thorough appreciatioa
and ocinpr,hension of hie sailor, and that distinct phrasing
of the passages so seldom met with, but without which all
rhltlunicel afoot is lost. It was Weed a most artistis per-
formance, and was received with lend demonstrations of
