MADLLE. SAIN VILLE'S CONCEO

Yesterday an evening concert, which was velJolil
rously and fashionably attended, was given ,34 ien
Rooms, by Madlle. Letitia Sainville. The selec` .00
music for the occasion was, to say the least of it, arena
ciently diversified. This, we fancy, will be ePPTioSt
on the most cursory glance at the pro,gramme•
were included, for example, among the masters
whose 'works the different pieces had been culled, top
and De Beriot, and Verdi, and Dr. Arne, and 01'1300
and Rossini, and Mercadante, and Donizetti. De

by the way, because of an astonishing little phenalle
Mademoiselle Barwolf, who performed one of bid es'
certos on the violin with surprising brilliancy en 410
presaion. Thalberg too, because of a fantasia u'_tbe
rendered by Madame Bompiani on the pianofort;eo
theme being taken from La Somnambula. Besidese-: iei
there were other timely attractions. There was a e
ballad " Absence," sung last night for the first tincr,b,
Mr. George Tedder—and there was, seasonably en ;0;,
Kiicken's song of " Sweet May," sung by Miss al/09
Braham. An aria, called "The Magic of nome," Was eholl
later on in the evening by Mr. C. Cotton—having 'iv
composed expressly for him by Mr. J. DeWitt' the
attraction of the night, however, was incontesteh;rlll
new song, composed by Mr. J. Hatton, olici°'
Slave's Dream"—one of the most exquisite of OIL Pr'
poems of Professor Longfellow. Fortunately
_.,'""cefor
Hatton it was introduced to an English aucii°Pa f_,ol"
the first time last evening by Herr Brandt, an;
tunately for that artist, he was accompanied 1 se°
Alexandre Billet, the distinguished piani°;erelf
one of the most graceful and artistic of ore,
paniests. Herr Brandt, as a matter of derr
commanded for the new song an unanimous
on
dial encore—throwing into its delivery that
and tenderness which his fine organ has the et
of giving utterance to. The singer, more than tu s;
poser, we conceive, has done justice to the P°;e.su:,
while we admired the feeling with which fferr cock
delivered those five noble verses, we must ackt.
ourselves somewhat disappointed with the e3r„Pgeg"
which Mr. Hatton has interpreted the l'),/
of Longfellow. Remembering the everiive't4
terest with which the subject of Slavery
garded in this country, and recollecting bOhae or,
enthusiasm excited by "Uncle Tom's Cabin good,
cently been confirmed by, the warmth of Mr°• trt/
reception amongst' ourselves—we are tempted to 70,(10,
scribe the words of the new song, and the were 01011 P
because we have found them unknown, even
those most familiar with the poetry of Longfellow'

THE SLAVE'S DREAM.
Beside the ungathered rice ho lay,
His sickle in his hand ;
His breast was bare—his matted hair
Was buried in the sand ;
Again, in the mist and shadow of sloop,
He saw his native land.
Wide through the landscape of his drexull'
The lordly Niger How'd ;
Beneath the palm-trees on the plain,
Once more a king he strode,
And heard the tinkling caravans
Descend the mountain-road.
He saw once more his dark-eyed queen,
Among her children stand ;
They clasp'd his neck—they kised his che,o'
They held him by the hand ;
A tear burst from the sleeper's lidg,
And fell into the sand.
At night he heard the lion roar,
And the fierce hyena scream,
And the river horse, as he crushed the reed°
Beside some hidden stream ;
And it pass'd like a glorious roll of druni*
Through the triumph of his dream.
He did not feel the driver's whip,
Nor the burning heat of day ;
For death had illumined the land of sleep'
And his lifeless body lay
A worn-out fetter, that the soul th°
Had broken, and thrown away e

passed off in everyrespcct satisfactorily.
