PHILITARMONI

SOCIETY.

The concert last night was one 'of the best we have
heard for some time in the Philharmonic Hall. The
principal singers were Mademoiselle Titiens, Madame
Corchardt. Mademoiselle Vaneri, Stu or Giuglini, and
Signor Vialetti. The -

-we forgot all such ,objections, at
of the performance. The things which impressed us
most were Giuglini's singing of" Cujusunimam," and th e
" inflammatus et aceensus" by Madlle. Titiens, and the
chorus; though, in the former, the voice is in some parts
very much over-loaded with accompaniment. The
latter was splendidly done, both by the solo-singer and
the chorus, and was encored.
Madame Borchardt7s voice did not tell very well in
the qluet " Quis est homo," but she fully redeemed
herself by her excellent performance of the very difficult
cavatina, " Fac ut portem." Signor Vialetti's voice,
though exceedingly powerful, appeared 'to be wanting
in flexibility and steadiness ; moreover, he did not
always sing quite in ~time. He was, however, very
effective in " Pia mater."
The-chorus are very much to be commended for their
steadiness throughout the performance, especially in the
difficult fugue which concludes the work, and Mr.
Hirst's occasional introductions of the organ were, as
usual, exceedingly judicious.
The second part of the concert opened with Men-
delssohn's beautiful and poetical overture, " The Isles
of Fingal;" not played quite so well as it deserved.
Madlle. Vaneri then made her first and only appearance
in the ballad of "Kathleen Maxourneen," which she
sang with great expression, though for a ballad we
should have liked a little more simplicity of style.
Signor Giuglini sang the Serenade from " La donna del
Lago" to perfection, and Madlle. Titiens was equally
excellent in •" Qui la voce." Mozart's ever-beautiful
" Qui sdegus" we did not think suited to Signor
Vialetti; there was the same toughness and want
of 'flow which obscured some parts of the " Stabat
Mater," though his low notes were very remarkable.
His song was followed by the grand "Mise,rere," froth
"II Trovatore." Madame Borchardt, we should have
mentioned, figured very well in Meyerbeer's "Nobil
Donna," which was preceded by Ford's madrigal,
" Since first I saw your face." Herold's overture to
"Le Pr 6 aux cleres" !brought this very interesting
concert to a close.

FRIENDLY SOCIETY REVELATIONS

A meeting of the officers and friends of the Royal
Philanthropic Society was held last night, at the office
of the society, Finch-street. The' Secretary, in opening
the proceedings, said that the present meeting was
called to inquire into certain false and malicious state-
ments which had been circulated with the view of
injuring, the society. Placards had emanated from
another society, and were two in number. The follow-
ing are the main facts of the first case as set forth in
the placard. Michael McHugh entered his father-in-law
as a member of the Philanthropic Society ; and
according to the rules was entitled to the sum of £3 in
twenty-six weeks from the time of his entrance.
