HERR CARL MIME'S CONCERTS.

This gentleman commenced a series of six con-
eerie on Thursday night, at the Hanover-square Rooms.
The programme of the first concert comprised several
pieces of pianoforte music, alma by acknowledged classical
composers, others the composition of Herr Haute himself.
The selection commenced with Mozart's beautiful duet
sonata for two pi.inos, very well played by Signor
Catalani and Herr Hause ; another duo for two pianos, a
manuscript composition by the concert-giver, forming the
conclusion of the second part. This piece, consisting of a
short introduction and a somewhat lengthened allegro in
the florid fantasia style, was given with great executive
brilliancy by Miss Ellice Jewell and Herr Hause ;
the latter of whom also displayed his individual
powers in 'several solo performances ; among others in
a " Grand March de Concert,' • "Capriocietto, Romance,
Led Tarantella" of his own ; in all which he evinced •
large amount of executive skill with considerable force
and energy. In the first movement of " Hummell'a A
Minor Concerto," Herr Hause was aided by an arrange-
meet of the orchestral accompaniments played on •
second piano by Signor Catalani. Such a substitution for
an orchestra is well enough for private performance, but
scarcely suited to public exhibition. Herr Hausa's execn-
tion of the solo passages, taken somewhat in advance of
the intended speed, was distinguished by dexterous mani-
pulation and unflagging energy. There were some vocal
performances by Miss Anna Jewell, who was encored in a
song of Herr Hause's, " There be none of beauty's daugh-
ters;' by Miss Fanny Arinytage, and by Signorina Luigi".
' Leal., • young lady with a powerful soprano voice of ex-
tensive comp►ss, who was encored in an aria of Donizetzi,
and responded by singing the air from Marta, " Qui soh"
(The last rose of summer), with some elabor►te embellish-
ment Bad variations.
