certs for the present season was held on Wednesday night,
St. James's-hall being filled with a fashionable audience.
Mr. Alfred and Mr. Henry Holmes made their first ap-
pearance at these concerts, and by their skilful and
finished performance of one of Spohr's splendid
works, achieved an unequivocal success, and amply
justified the very favourable opinion of their ability
which has been expressed by the great master himself.
The Sisters Marchisio, who were received with great cot.-
diality, sang with unmistakeable taste and feeling, which
gained for them an enthusiastic encore, in the duet from
Rossini's " Serairamide." Herr Jael's performance on the
pianaforte of Mendelssohn's charming Concerto in G minor
was brilliantly executed, aLd as wet/Daly appreciated,
Madame Louisa Villain& annual concert at the Han-
over-square Rooms, onWednesday morning, was an elegant
entertainment, and attracted a large and fashionable audi-
ence. The pieces sung by herself shoved her talents in a
variety of styles. In all the pieces she gave great pleasure
by her flue voice, musician-like execution, and unaffected
simplicity of manner. A young pianist, Miss Jane Jack-
son, made her debut before a London audience with great
success.

Miss Fanny Corfield's concert on Wednesday, at Col-
lards's .ttooms, was attended by a crowded and fashionable
audience. The concert consisted of music of the most
classical kind. She played herself a trio of Beethoven, a
sonata of Clementi, two short pieces of Stephen Heller, and
Sterndale Bennett's beautiful chamber trio, in which, and
in the trio of Beethoven, she was accompanied by Herr
Molique and M. Paque. Several fine vocal pieces, sung by
Madame Guerrabella and Miss Eleanora Wilkinson, gave
additional interest to the concert.
