THE PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY'S FIRST SUBSCRIPTION
CoNrcE wr took place in the Assembly Rooms, George-street,
on Friday. It was truly gratifying to see it so numerously and
splendidly attended. A considerable and highly judicious al-
teration had been effected in the arrangement of the seats and
orchestra. The latter was occupied by a very powerful body of
pertbrmers, led by .11r. Pearson ; and their exertions met with
great and deserved applause. The vocal part of the perform-
ance, by Mins Noel, All r. Thorne, and Mr. Swift, though of
a superior description, was surpassed in effect by the instru-
mental. Weber's magnificent overture to the " Ruler of
the Spirits," was executed with singular brilliancy. It
possesses, in a remarkable degree, that mysterious subli-
mity of character, which is the great charm of his compo-
sitions ; and the etrect on the audience was strikingly
apparent. It was one of those pieces which met with
an enthusiastic encore. An, exquisite quartett by Mo-
zart, was played by Messrs. Yaniewicz, Murray, Stewart,
and Simpson, to which the former ably supported the celebrity
he has acquired, of being the first performer on the violin on
this side of Tweed, if not one of the first in Britain. Several
persons preferred this piece even to the overture by Weber.—
From this successful beg4ining, we predict that the whole of
the Society's Concerts will go off with great eclat.—( Edinburgh
Observer, Jan. 11.)

person, attended with cruelty and robbery, in a

supported by that of Jane Green, who accom-
panied her, and was a witness of the atrocious
transaction, the circumstances of which have
already appeared in several of the Public Jour-
nals, hut are of too disgusting a nature for inser-
tion in our Paper. After a trial which lasted
