CONCERT TOR THE WESTERN OPRTIIALIfie
INwriruriow.—This concert was given last evening at the
Hanover.eqr.are Rooms. Like must charity concerts, it was
of an ordinary description ; the performers, who (we pre-
sume) gave their services gratuitously, having naturally per-
formed such things as were most familiar to themselves and
consequently to the public. A number of vocal and instru-
mental pieces were given by the Misses Williams, Madam.
Albertaxxi, Mr. Lockey, Miss Kate Loder, Mr. Day, the
Messrs. Distin, and others. We were much pleased with
two young singers, whom we heard fur the first time ; Mr.
T. Williams, who snug with his sisters a pretty trio by a
new composer named Desaages ; and Miss Lockey, who sung
Boethoveu's song, " 0 beauteous daughter of the starry
race," one of a set of beautiful sacred songs, which, though
published in this country, with English words, morn than
thirty years ago, are still very little 'mown. Mr. Williams
has a sweet tenor voice, which blended finely with the
soprano and contralto of his sisters; and Miss Loamy
deserved much credit, not only for selecting so fine a compo—
sition, but for the excellent m .nner in which she sang it.
We regret to add that the room was but thinly attended..
and that the concert will be of little (if any) hearth to what
we understand is a very praiseworthy institution.
