.r,NGLISII GLEE AND MADRIGAL.—The second con-
cert of this delightful and popular association took
place at Willis's Rooms yesterday morning, and the
attendance was even a more crowded one than at the
first r6union. The same singers are engaged through
the series, and consist • of principals—Mrs. Enders-
sohn, Mrs. Lockey, Mr. Lockey, Mr. Hobbs, and
Mr. H. Phillipps. The assistants consist of the Misses
Phillips, Bamby, and Byers, and Mrs. Goldsmith, as
soprani ; for contralti, the Misses H. Phillips and
Cummins, and Mesdames Beale and Grundy. Te-
nori, Messrs. M. Smith, Cummins, and Foster. Bassi,
Messrs. H. Bamby, Beale, Frost, Simmons, and Day.
From long practice and a full knowledge of each other
_
they sing a,dinirabiy together, and, though we have
heard it regretted that the assistants were not some-
what more numerous, yet we doubt whether a richer
effect would be produced, and whether the ensemble," the
great charm in thefie performances would be so well se-
cured. The glee of "Blow gentle gales," was charm-
ingly given. " Where the bee sucks," is an ever-en-
during favourite, and the quaint old madrigal, whether
truly ancient, we doubt, of " Who shall win my lady
fair," merrily closed the first part. Mr. J. L. Hatton
filled up the interval very, agreeably by his masterly
performance of Covelli's Concerto in F. The gem of
pleasing composer's " Sweetly
. The so justly admired glee
the
blows second
the Western part
Wind."t i this
'by Lord Mornington, "Here in cool grot and mossy
cell," was deliciously rendered by .all the voices ; and
Sir R. Bishop's glee and chorus, "Now tramp o'er moss
and fell," brought one of the most pleasing concerts of
the season to a rapturous close.
PIRACY IN THE ARCHIPELAGO.—SMYRNA, JUNE 7.
No positive acts of piracy have been heard of lately, ex-
cepting on t mall craft near. Samos, Rhodes, &c., where
numerous piratical boats are out. The great risk in the
Archipelago seems to be when vessels get becalmed,
when they are in danger of being attacked by small boats
from the land and the islands. The Dutch schooner of
war Macassar gives convoy to vessels of that flag on the
' 11th and 12th inst., as far as Cape Matapan, and of this
protection English vessels ready for sea will avail them-
selves. Ilithert,, the masters, when sailing three or four
together, haft! 00143i4Pred tioillo9lv.o. sufficiently oft awl
