Must .—The Second Concert of Ancient Music,
for this Season, took place last night at the Hanover-
square RooMs. The Earl of UXBRIDGE was the-
presiding Direkaor for the evening, and the SeleEtion
of the several compositions amply proved his know-
ledge and taste in the' art. Mrs. BILLINGTON,•BAR-
TLEIVIAN, W. KNYVETT, and HARRISON, were the
chief vocal Performers. " Together let us range,"
was delightfully sung by Mrs. BILLINGTON and
HARRISON. Mrs. BII.LINGTON was truly ad-
mirable in " As from the power of sacred lays," and
",Let the bright Seraphim." " Revenge, Timo-
theus cries," was finely given by IARTLEIVIAN ; and
" Gentle airs," was sung' with great sweetness by
HARRISON. " Let not rage," was introduced, har-
monized for four voices. We dO not approve of
the present rage for harmonizing Airs of esta-
blished : merit.: it is ' sometimes an injury to the
original musician, who intends to give his com-
position .a particular ehargier, though indeed 'it
may not swallow up his fame 'in, that of the Har-
monizing Improver; The music in general was yell
performed, and the room exhibited a brilliant .ap-
pearance.
The seven hundred thousand pounds of the Loy-
alty Loan, which, according to the notice already
given, is to be paid off in April; will, we are in-
formed, be discharged in cash, and not by either'
5 per Cent. or 3 per Cent. Reduced Stock, as was
generally supposed.
