MR. ALFRED MELLON'S CONCERTS.
THE MOZART NIGHT.
A selection from the most dramatic and universal
of ali composers formed the attraction of the bill last
night, and sufficed to crowd the theatre at a very
early period. The vocal specimens consisted of the
" Deh vieni," from the " Nozze di Figaro," charm-
ingly sung by Madlle. Florence Lancia ; and the
" Gli angui d'lnforno,' from the " Zauberflote;
delivered with surprising force by Madllc. Carlotta
Patti. The instrumental portions were the Con-
certo in D minor," for the piano,'ably performed by
Mr. George Russell, the overture to " Idomeneo,"
aad the unrivalled " Jupiter " symphony, compris-
ing its four movements—" Allegro Vivace, Andante
Cantabile, Minuetto Allegretto, and Finale Allegro
Motto," the execution of which alone was a suffi-
cient feature of the night, and served to place the
powers of the band, as well as of its skilful con-
ductor, in a light of the highest eminence.

wizard at her touch
Took gayer colours, like an opal warned."
This expression, " like an opal warin'd," is, adds the re-
viewer, perhaps unsurpassed.
