Joachim's performs's* et Moligws Ooneerto in D
minor, a work of the highest merit, and worthy of a
place beside the =steepness of Beethoven, fipohr,
and Mendelmohn. Joachim evidently played it con moon.
and never displayed to greater advantage his incomparable
qualities em a violinist. When he finished, the room rang
for genrel minutes with applause, which brought him beck
to the orchestra, after he bad retired from it to bow his ac-
knowledgments. Mendelembn's overture to Buy Mu was
clothed by the orchestra in all its melancholy grandeur—we
never, we think, heard It played so superbly.
The vocal music was excellent. Mozart's air sung by Xis
Louisa Pyne is said in the programme to be from Pigaro.
It is not, however, to be found in the score of that opera,
nor have we ever heard it sung on the stage. It beam
however, complete internal evidence of its authonhip, and
ldorart himself hes written few things that are more beau-
tiful. It was completely fitted for the display of the fair
singer's powers, and she sang it with the utmost iclist.
The air from the Mode du Nord was very finely sung by
Mr. Bentley, but it is one of those things which are better
fitted for the stage than the concert-room. Altogether the
omen was full of interest, and evidently proved highly
gratifying to a crowded audience.

THIS PARISH or ST. PANCRAL—A step is about
being taken by the authorities of Bt. Pancras in refereace to
the sale of (attain land at Pinehley, which was purchased by
the directors of the poor from the burial board, for the pur-
pose of building industrial training schools for th. pauper
children thorax, which is exciting no small amount of
interest, not to say indignation, amongst the raiersis.
The directors Laving been forced by the vestry to abandm
the building of the schools after having obtained the sane-
tion of the Poor-law Board, and borrowed 12,0001. for that
purpose, some month or six weeks back, put up the lead for
sale at the Auction Mart, and a gentleman weaseled with
' the Arm of Meows. De Jersey and Co., solicitor l, of the
Otty, became the purchaser tot 1,9 W. The title waaproved,
end all the preliminaries for the completion of the perchsee
when the legal Arm concerned discovered that be-
grer :Ltd lamaer could be made, by the provable' al the
Nerds, Aga the anent of the ratepayers in pulls meet-
*, or by poll if demanded, moot be obtained. But
the authorities,
ities,instead of adopting the usual practice of
calnag a meeting by public placard, have amply affixed a
Mate to the various church and chapel doors, aped by the
vicar, the two churchwardens, aod two of the overseers,
and have ealled the meeting fur 11 o'clock in the forenoon
of Thursday next, instead of the evening, when it is more
evevenient for the ratepayers to attend. It is understood
that than are very objections to the sale of this lead,
end it is sapsdsd that some of the perochial associar
tams will make the retepayen cogninast ot the Forgesdiap,
so that is all probability the proposed eel. will be fear
tested. _
