THE PITT CLUB.

The Anniversary Festival of this Club, which was instituted in honor
of Mr. Pitt, and fur the purpose of perpetuating the political principles of
that statesman, took place on Saturday evening, at Merchant Tailor's
Hall, Treadne dle.street.
The attendance of the members was not so numerous as we recollect
to have seen on former occasions, nor was the Hall graced by the presence

Lord Kenyon, Sir Juba Croft, Colonel Sitithorp, Mr. Burge, Mr. May-
mad, &c., &c. .The Martinis of S lisintry was in the Chair.
The dinner was of course of the most lump ions kind, and the wines
.abundant aid exe..llent ; and these unfailing p:onmters of harmony and
convitiality, nisi,d by the admirable singing of the professionals en-
gaged Cro the ouasion, made au evening that would otherwise have
been dull and uninteresting, so far as speechification was concerned,
pa,s clf agreeably enough.
Not Nobis Domi,le was sung with pleasing effect as soon as the
cloth had been removed, and after the toasts of " The Queen," "
Queen Dowager, and the rest of the Royal Family," and " The Army
and Navy," had been respectively disposed of with the customary
honours,

statesman.. The Noble Marquis said that the political principles of Mr
Pm must be the theme of admiration so long as the British Constitution
existed, and that it was only by a firm adhesion to these principles that the
,af.ty of that Cunstitution could be preserved from the destruction with
which it was now unhappily on all sides threatened. The toast was re-
c, iced and drunk, as usual, in solemn silence.
" Church and State," "The House a Lords," " The Conservative
Members of the House of Commons," " The Duke of Wellington,"
" Sir Robert Peel," :did several other toasts comomnly given at the fes-
tivals of this Club, having severally been duly honoured, the Chairman
vacated the and the company separated.
Nothing of political importance was uttered throughout the procohl-
ant: therefore we do not think it necessary to give a detailed report
of what I.assed.

DE BEGNIS' AND 310RI'S CONCERT.

On Saturday a Morning Coccert, given by the above-named Pro-
f: ssors in conjunction, attracted a large and fashionable audience to the
rlanover-square Ito nrif. So large a mass of music was performed, the
concert being divided in three parts, and lasting from half past one till
halt past five, that we feel great difficulty in selecting what We con-
sidered entitled to notice. In the first part, two movements of
" Beethoven's Symphony in D" wore very finely played by an excellent
orchestra. Miss Woodyatt sang Cherub:ni s "Age Maria" with ,x-
-qtrilite taste, and was beautifully accompanied on the ea:Jr-met by Mr.
IVill:ams, the leader of the Queen', private band. Ma,lanie Cita&
Oamoreau and Signor de Begnis gave Fioravantis' buffo duet, "lo
di tutti." Signor Iranoff sang, in his accustomed exquisitely expressive
style," 0 cara immagine; and Cinti Damorean a scene from Auber's
" Acteon,' with that beautiful playfulness which is her distinguishing
feature. Mr. N ,Muti played Mayseder's c..ltbrated Fantasia on the
violin, with great neatness and beauty of. tone, and was enthusiasti-
cally applanthol. The part concluded with Beethoven's " Sey-
t nor," playet (as at Elagrcve's) by forty instruments. "e
are still of the same opinion that it is not the proper
state to hear this composition in. We heard many persons
.
amongst the auditory complain of the harsh and screaming effect of
such a bstly of violins playing concerto passages on the top of the instru-
mtnt in unison. In the second part Mrs. Bishop, tin. A. Shaw, and
Mc. Henry Phillips, and Mademoiselle Carenoli sung, and Dot"' r
played a grand fantasia on the pianoforte; and between the second and
third par s Madame Dulcken and the same extraordinary performer a
Meet on two pianofortes, both of which were very great treats. In the
third part a concertame duct was played by Messrs. Mori and Lindley ;
Cinti D moreau arri Mrs. Bishop sang Mozart's fine duct " Sull'arias"
aid the whole concluded with the buffo seen:[ acrd aria of Sacchini, " I
•;ol.ni tutti," by De Begnis. The concert was a good one in regard to
y, but much too long, and a good deal of the music was played in
a hurried, sloverly, and "get through it" style. • This was was parti-
cularly observable in Mori and Limfley's duet, which commenced the
third part.

The ward watchman, it appears, first discovered the fire, and he in-
stantly ;farmed the inmates, who fortunately effected their escape, but
with no other ccyering than their night habiliments, to the house of a
neighbour. In a few minutes after the alarm two engines from the
:I,tfries_square station, one from Watling.street, Princes-square, Far-
ringd,;nstreet, West of England, and various others (in all 14) reached
the spot, when they were most excellently supplied with water, but not-
withstanding this early cii:ll formidable assistance the whole house and
its valuable contents were entirely constlined. A man named Cornelius,
who hal charge of end : ranght the sociaty's fire escape, narrowly escaped
by the breaking off of the top of the ladder of the machine, by which he
was precipitated from thp third floor of the house on to the lead project-
in over the shop in front. He is but slightly hurt. Every praise is due
to the firemen and ward officers for their exertions, otherwise the de-
struction of property viciii.td have been more extensive. As to the origin
of the calamlty, no account can be Glitgined, but Mr. Rees is insured,
