We paid a visit last week to the Egyptian Hall,
where a series.of M,.?roing Concerts has lately commenced.
We were agreeably entertained, having hearl some pleas-
ing melodies extremely well sung by Miss Galbreath and
Miss Elizabeth Geary. The latter, who possesses a very
sweet mezzo soprano voice, is a young lady of great pro.
mlse. We also heard a very masterly performance on the
pianoforte by Miss Geary, which the audience seemed much
disposed to encore, and which we would willingly have
listened to a second time. The company was very select,
but we regret to say limited in number.
