Madame Fuzzi's Morning Concert,

The annual concert of Madame Puzzi has always
been prominent among the fashionable entertain-
merits of the season, and, to judge from the appear
ance of the Hanover-square Rooms yesterday, it
had this year lost none of its attractions. The
rooms were crowded with agaily-dressed company,
who appeared to be fully satisfied with the per-
formances. The programme was, as usual, long and
vaned, although it was unfortunately deprived cf
one of its chief attractions by the unexpected ab-
sence of Madame L2mmens-Sherring,ton from
domestic Efilietion. All must, of coarse, unite
in deploring the cause, and the loss of the principal
soprano was decidedly a matter of regret. Madame
Parepa was, however, among the vocalists, and
sang a Neapolitan car zariet with all her usual
expression, besides taking part in several
quartette. Miss Lascalles and Miss Banks, who
sang carefully and creditably, and were especially
successful in the duet " Quis
est Nomo," from the
Stabat Mater, though we much question the taste
that introduces music of so sacred a character in
the midst of a fashionable concert. Signor Giuglini
gained an unanimous encore in a charming adapta-
tion of one of the airs in the " Lily of Killarney,"
ssuanngg fßorintnaheenfitrhsatrtsimpenpinollatr Romance " Le Cheminalian. Signor Gardoni
de Paradis," but we have heard it given with better
effect. Among the instrumentalists was Signor
Pezze, who gave a solo of his own composition on
the violoncello ;
morceaux on the piano, one of which,
" La roude
and Mr. Archer, who played two
des Eifes," was very graceful and sparkling. There
were several other performers, and the concert ex-
tend ad from two o'clock until a late hour in the
afternoon. -----_—_-

THE LATE " STONEWALL" JACKSON.—The fol-
lowing letter has been addressed to the Hon. Mr.
Mason in London, in reference to the proposed statue to
the late General "Stonewall" Jackson :—" State of Vir-
ginia Executive Department, Richmond, April 25. To the
lion. James M. Mason. I was most agreeably surprised
a few days ago by the receipt of yours of the 17th ult., in-
forming me that a number of distinguished gentlemen of
England had undertaken to have executed a marble statue
of General Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson; and requesting
that you may be authorised to say that 'so far as it may
rest with Virginia, the statue shall occupy a position worthy
of it and the occasion.' In reply, it gives me pleasure to
assure you that the most appropriate spot in our beautiful
grounds shall be selected for the purpose of the proposed
token of a great nation's appreciation of our illustrious son.
This expression of sympathy, while we yet mourn over our
great loss, touches me deeply, and will, I know, reach the
heart of every true Virginian; and speaking for her and in
her name, I ask you to tender our sincere acknowledgments
to the distinguished gentlemen who have so kindly and
happily conceived this handsome and grateful tribute to the
memory of one of our best and bravest. and at the same
time one of the truest and greatest of his race. Noble must
have been the man who could have so suddenly impressed
himself upon tho sentiments of mankind ! And glorious
the people whose sensibilities prompted them to commemo-
rate his name,—.l am, Sir, yours, &c., (signed) WILLIAM
SMITE."
