Mt. KUHE'S CONCERT.

This gentleman's annual morning concert took
place yesterday at St. James's-hall—the length of
the Programme, the number of the pieces and of
the performers, rendering the entertainment one of
the class of "monster" concerts. These entertain-
meats are especially acceptable to those transient
visitors to London who are desirous of hearing, at a
single sitting, many of the most eminent singers of the
day in a varied selection of pieces. The list of vocal per-
formers included the names of Mallet. Titiens, Sluice,
Liebhart ; Mesdames Trebelli, Sainton-Dolby ; Signori
Mongini, Cardoni ; Herr Reichardt, Mr. Hailer,
Mr. Santley ; Signori Foli, Gassier, Pandolfini, and Herr
ltokitansky. Ndlle. Dm* de Marsha would have appeared
but for her non-arrival in England ; and Mdlle. Titiens,
wbo was prevented from appearing by indisposition, was
replaced by Mdlle. Christina Nilson, whose characteristic
singing of two Swedish lietkr (the second encored) was one
of the features of the conceit The vocal pieces, of con-
trasted interest, are so well known as to call for no special
comment. Among the instrumental performances those
of the coocert-giver demand our first mention. Mr.
Kibbe is a professor of considerable celebrity, both as
a player and a composer of popular pieces and arrange-
ments for his instrument. In several instances, yesterday,
he proved his possession of brilliant powers of execution—
among others in Beethoven's sonata with violin (No. 3 of
op. 30). cleverly accompanied by Herr Auer ; and in his
solo performances, especially in his own fantasia on sub-
jects from Meyerbeer's L'Afriasine. The programme also
included solos for the harp, by Mr. Aptommas ; the her-
' =onion, by Herr Engel ; violin, by Herr Auer; and vio-
loneello, by Signor Piatti. The room was crowded by an
enthusiastic audience.

to-day to pay off and turn her crew over to the Warrior.

forward for commission, and will probably take pert in the
review.
