Madame Puzzi's Morning Concert,

The annual concert of Madame Puzzi has always
been prominent among the fashionable entertain-
ments of the season, and, to judga :rom the appear
ance of the Hanover-square Rooms yesterdaaa it
had this year lost none of its attractions. The
rooms were crowded with a gaily-dressed corapanY,
who appeared to be fully satitfied with the per-
formances. The programme was, as usual, long d f
and
n vaed, although it was unfortunately deprive c
one of its chief attractions by the unexpected ab-
sence of Madame Lemmens-Sherrington from
domeatio affliction. 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 zunet with all her usual
expression, besides taking
part in several
quartetts. Miss Lascelles and Miss Banks, who
sang carefully and creditably, and were especially "
Qais est Nomo," from the
successful in the duet
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 Killarnus"
sung for the first time io Italian. Signor Gardoni
sang Blumenthal's popular Itomance " Le Chemin
de Paradis," but we have beard it given with better
effect. Among the instrumentalists was Signor
Pezze, who gave a solo of his own composition on
the violoncello ; and Mr. Archer, who played two
morceaux on the piano, one of which, " La roude
des Elfes," was very graceful and sparkling. There
were several other performers, and the concert ex-
tended from two o'clock until a late hour in the
I afternoon.

EDMUND ABOUT, the well known litlerateur,l
was married last week to ISldlle. de Guillerville, a Nor•
mandy heiress, at the Chateau de ltoucheralles, near Rouen.
TAE LATE " STONE'VVALL" 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 :—"Sate of Vir-
ginia Executive Department, Richmond, April 2.5. To the
Hon. James 51. Mason.— I was most agreeal;4 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 ur,dertalten 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 pleacure 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 o'er
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
