EMIGRATION FROM Sr. Gameee-ni-nia-Earr.---
At Bt. Matthew's Schools yostirday (the RIM T. Richard-
son in the chair) Kr. W. Frank Lynn addreered a crowded
inset* of artless end labours on the subject of emigre-
Kea so Canada. The rev. charm= (whose saner ori
well known as the anporintendent of the Rest-end largos
in connection with Eaatcind distress), in opening the
s, remarked that numbers of families had re-
proceedingli-ed and received aid during the winter ; but now that
that aid was witliddrawn, whilst there were eMll no seam
of obtaining a ahem' of employment, it was zc=
what was tote done to prevent Dot only itsa
now, bat the danger of k worse destitution in the owning
winter. His opinion was that emigration was the eisly
effectual way open ; Inuidnide of dessawing families bad
expressed their willingness to go—end he had celled the
meeting to hear Mr. Lynn4re an amount of Canada,
I which appeared to be not the best country to go Si,
but the easiest to reach. Wth regard to funds for paw.
sages, that was indeed a difficulty ; but several ladies lied
expressed their anxiety to aid the nurrement ; and, par-
if they showed a digposities to help themselves, the
public might be isiluoed to aid them also. Mr. Lyu then
pro a description of the Canadiee climate
and industries— the class of workmen, and the nape given
—together with the changes open to the kbeguer ef improv-
ing his condition; and, after imam a Utter whisk belied

easements engaged wire—Hanes Leopold Auer and
1.. Bin (first and snood violins), Herr Gotten (viola), and
Hen GrStancher (violoneeLlo) ; Herr Lunn being the
pianist of the day. The quartets performed were Haydn's
Iln 0 (No 29 of the Paris edition), and Mendenueltn's in B
fiat (op. 12). Time plum were played with muck mane.
I meat and IICINI4IIIIII, sod evident preparatioo—th• exquisite
conarast in Mandeinehea quartet pleasing en sock an
to sect with the gnat amens. Herr Gretnescher will
be renumbered es an excellent violonellist, who appeared
with great mew at the fifth Philharmonic concert last
season. Beside' his share in the quartets at Tneeday's
matinee, this gentlemen played (for the first time in Eng-
land) a serenade by Huryds—• graceful but act very power-
ful piece of simnel* melodic writing, with a very ordinary
pianoforte amosapannuenL Herr Lubeck is a pianist of
large exuntive powers, with great rapidity of finger and
strength of wrist and arm, which qualities he displayed
somewhat too forcibly in Beethoven's solo omen in )1
flat (op. 31, No. 3), and more legitimately in an Ha.
prompter of his own and in Chapin's Tarantella.
