K. AND MADAME

77e. Croatson was given Let night at Exeter-hall.
We have little to say of the performance, beyond ex-
pressing the extreme delight which we received from
it, for it was precisely similar to the performance of
this oratorio in the early part of the season.
After all, it is is snored music that the
greatness of Jenny lAnd's genius is most strik-
ingly displayed. In The Messiah she is aa pre-
eminently sublime u, in Ike Croatia., she is
incomparably beautiful. She never sang more
divinely than she did last night. The delicacy
and gnu with which she warbled " With verdure
sled the fields appear," her splendid voice and
brilliant execution in "On mighty win " and her
exquisite tenderness in the duet, "Graceful Con-
sort." suited the audience to enthusiasm. The
other solo pouts were admirably sang by Mr.
Lackey and Mr. Weiss; and Haydn's great master-
piece was probably never more magnificently per.
formed. Ever part of the hall was densely
crowded. We have only one thing to add—and we
do it with sincere eorrow—that only once more will
the now of the Nightingale of nightingales be heard
is England.

01CHEATRAL UXION.—The last concert of the sea-
son, which is to take place on S►turday, is rendered
anssnally attractive by the announcement in the
programme of Beethoven's Choral Symphony. This
gigantic and sublime work is too seldom heard in this
sosatty, sad would apparently have been altogether
ignored this season had it sot been selected for per-
knew* by the Orchestral Union. Foe this step the
society deserves the thanks of all who love what is
great and noble in the art, and who are, like our-
selves, dissatisfied with any musical season that does
nett:4er, at halt once, a performance of the greatest
work of the greatest muter. The arrangements of
the Orchestral Union appear to be on a tall and a--
civic scale, a pod chorus being promised, and the
soli being assigned to Mdlle. Emilie Xrall, Miss
Dolby, and Mims. Montem Smith and W. Wynn.
