REPAZINIRATION OP FLINTSHIRE.

FLINT. MONDAY.
The contort for the seat in parliament rendered
vacant by the death of the late member, the Hoo. Mr.
Mostyn, is likely to be very warm and cline. The reopen.

pursuing an active canvass. and to-day and Saturday
their friends have been busily engaged amongst the farmers
and other freeholders attending the market. The writ,
which was moved for in the House of Commons on Friday
sight, arrived on Saturday nurning, and we understand
that the I ligh Sheriff has boo! thu nomination and election
for Saturday and Tuesday next. Mr. Hughes numbers

Yr. Hughes -we allude to Sir Stepbee Glynne, brother-
is-kw of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It was roes.
deafly stated in Flint to-dav that Sir Stephen has pointedly
refused to form on. of Mr. Hughes's committee, and, inas-
much as he tae considerable 'printers in the district, the
chances of nieces. of the conservative candidate may be loo-
sened. It is believed that the hostile spirit in which Mr.
Hughes, in his address, speaks of the Chaeoellor's
hue. is a great measure, led to Sir Stephen Capitol=
nano. It will be nvienibered that at the general election in
1567 Sir Stephen Wynne was s aiedidate for the represen-
tation of the county, in opposition to the late member, Mr.
Mmityn, on which occasion the present Chancellor et the
Exchequer took sa active part is Sir Stephen's favour. Mr.
Hughes, the conservative amdidate. is son-in-law to Lord

MUSIC.

NEW PHILHARMONIC CONCERT&
_ _

Dr. Wylde is carrying on theme concerts with re-
markable success ; but it would seem that his present sue-
ens is eoneiderably owing to his having changed the charge.
ter of the entertainments, which now depend less on the
rzength of his orchestral performances than on the attrac-
tions of the Italian Opera elegem, Millie. Titiens and Signor
Giuglini, whore wavier+ he has again obtained on terms
which, as reported, are so enormous that we do not
venture to mention them lest the rumour be a mis-
take. We regret the growing tendency to remunerate
these opera stars in a manner entirely disproportionate to
what is customary with regard to the moat eminent musical
performers in every ether branch of the art. Hut Dr.
Wylie does what he Gods beet for himself, and is well en-
titled to do so. He bad a room crowded to the doom, and
doubtless has had a good return for his outlay. Indeed,
the concert, indepeodently of these attractions, was very
goml. We had llcethoveu's Pastoral symphony extremely
well performed ; Mendelssohn's " hies of Fingal," and a
concerto of Spohr's charmingly executed by Mr. Henry
Blagrrcre. The bulk of the concert, however,
and the part* which chiefly engaged the attention
and drew forth the plaudits of the audience, were the
airs and duets taken from the fashionable operas of the
day, sung by the two performers we have named,
MR. TENNANT'S CONCERT.

This young anti rising performer, who is taking
his place among our favourite tenor-singer, had a con-
cert at Exeter Hall last evening--a brilliant and sue-
sessful entertainment. Them was an ample and varieil
bill of fare, the particulars of which we cannot detail,
being able to mention only two or three things which were
especially prominent. In the first place, Madame Alboni made
her first appearance in London this season ; sang as exqui-
sitely as ever, anti was received with the enthusiasm AO
justly her due. Her pieces were the air "Ui pincer"
from the Go:m Ladrii, Itode's famous air with variations,
and the well worn, "11 ',egret° per es•er felice," in
L,, rein Borvia. Madame Catheriae Hayes had a re-
ception nearly as brilliant as Alboni. She sang the
pathetic air, " Qui la voce," from the Puritans, with
much feeling, making an evident impression on
the audience. Mr. Tennant sang several pieces in •
manner worthy of his rising reputation. His performance,
especially of Mendelssohn's "By Celia's Arbour," was
delightfully pure and refined. One of the moat ',leering
performances of the evening was Verdi's fine duet, " Oh, di
goal oats," sung by Signor and Madame Ferrari with
perfect ensemble, finish, and truth of expression.
Schubert's famous song, "The Wanderer," was magnifi-
cently sung by Formes. There were some instrumental
pieces, the principul of which were Beethoven's "Moonlight
Sonata," anti a no-turns of Chopin, performed in his usual
masterly style, by M. Charles Halle.

Millle. Titiens will make her first appearance at
Faeter•hall in the Cregtion, under the auspice. of the
National Choral Society, to-morrow (Wednesday) ; Mr.
Martin having, we are informed, engaged her at the unpre-
cedented sum of 120 guineas to sing the comparatively few
liars belonging to the port of Gabriel.

DRAMA.

OLYMPIC.

Mr. Robson being still incapacitated by illness,
the management has availed itself of the star services of
Miss Amy Seilgwick, who appeared last night as Lady
Tessle in The Sch..ol for &modal. We have frequently
had oecuion to comment on Mira Sedgwick's performsnce
of Ude character, sad we see no reason to differ from our
previously expressed criticism. Miss Sedgwick's Lady
Teazle wants high breeding and repose, and is coarse.
etagey, and artificial in the highest degree. There is a
Eighty provincial mannerism about her, • redundancy of
gesture and • pitch of voice, all entirely out of harmony
with the character. Of the other parts the hest was that
of Sir Peter, as played by Mr. Addison with much senile
unction and fretfulness. The piece was handsomely placed
on the stage. _ _ _
