LONDON WEDNESDAY COACERTS.

The fourth of these popular entertainments took place
last night at Exeter-hall, and drew a crowded audience.
The principal feature was the first appearance of Ma-
demoiselle Jetty Treffs in Lort,don since the winter of
1850. This great public favourite has lost none of
those qualities to which she owes her reputation as one
of the most perfect singers in her peculiar line. Her
voice, one of the sweetest of mezzo-sopranos, while re-
taining all its freshness, has increased in power and
volume. Mademoiselle Treffa sang five times, being en-
cored in two out of three of her songs. Her reception
was highly flattering. She first sang the exquisite lied
of Mozart.
" Vergess mein nicht," with touching sim-
plicity. Being compelled, by unanimous desire to re-
turn to the orchestra, Mademoiselle Treffz, instead of re;
peating Mozart's ballad, sang another by Mendelssohn,
Gross ( Greeting"), equally charming in its way.
" "
Tom Moore's genuine ballad of " Love's Young Dream,"
which Mademoiselle Treffz sang in English, without a
single ornament, but with a grace unstudied that gave
the fullest expression to the melody, wee even more suc-
cessful. When recalled she repeated it, to the general
satisfaction of the audience. Her last performance was
a new lied, by Kucken (known in English as " Come,
sweet Maid"), which, while far more elegant, promises
to rival in popularity the familiar " Trab, trite, crab," of
the same prolific author. This, although it came late in
the evening, was not less charmingly sung, and not less
warmly-applauded than the others. Mademoiselle
Treffz was accompanied on the pianoforte by M. Adolfe
Schinaon, in a tatteful and musician-like manner. Among
the other promihentleattires of the programme were
solos on the double-bass' violin, and oboe', by Signors
Bottesicii, and Sivoti, and M. Lavigne, all of which were
eminenaly successful. That of Signor Sivoti, the `• Car-
nival de Venise," was eneond,
an.. _ P

.
veteran Braham was in all his glory; and in the famous
war sang, " Scots whit hae," showed that the fire withi!,
him still burnt ardently. Ho was encored both in this
and in the " Old English Gentleman," which, in his
hands, as a specimen of the familiar " table songa.,tictann
hardly be surpassed. The Misses Bronghamn

THEATRICALS IN CALIFORNIA.—It appears from
the following statements which are made in private corre-
spondence from San Francisco, that the theatrical profession
is not the best paid in California. An extract from a letter
dated San Francisco, February 13, says:—" The theatres are
comparatively deserted ; those actors who are on
