AIfATEUR CONCERT.

The New Amateur Concert had their cecond
meeting on Thursday evening, at I-I v c's Rooms,
Tottenham-street, which was very num rrously a.-
tended. The Concert consisted of a most admirable
selection of modern Music. Miss Cosi v sung the
charming song of 7.4/1% 4 While W id rep 1,91,c,
and an Italian Air, with great elecutiiin. Mr.
PowEii. played a Concorto on the Violoncello of his
composinr, ; the composition of which did him great
credit, and the execution of the perform ince highly
respeaable as a performer. Master Cu R at, the
of the Composer. about nine years of age. sung a
charming Italian song, and was deservedly mach
applauded. A Concerto on the Grand Piano Forte
was announced by sin Amateur. but he thcl rot
make his appearance: there sea, no loss, as the
Concert was quite long enough, and the performers
of Concertos in generil spin them to sueb an iutolcr-
able length, that every one who hears thirsts is
tired before they are over. Messrs. Er.i.ior and MI t-
not arr e sung the charming C.'snzonet of ffit.tr,
Saquette, with a great deal of taste, and was loudly
applauded. An
Mrs. M otos r IN was among the audience, and
expe&ation was raised very high, that she wadi
have gratified the audimze with a song; but, alas
they were disappointed.
