MRS. ASHE'S CONCERT.

• /3I'BEIN, DEO. 17.—This very eminent Vocalist gave the
thionable public, last night, a treat of the first order. Her style
4 Abe most chaste and classical, and her powers of giving
eEfect to the most complex, as well as the powerful combina-
tiOns of haymony, cannot, in our opinion, •be surpassed. Miss
4311 E, too, is a most charming singer, and promises to be a
;host distinguished ornament to the profession she has chosen.
!his young Lady, whose personal advantages are very strik-
7, as well as full of interest, was encored in a most admira-
"4 fantasia, in which she accompanied herself on the extra-
tiltnd piano forte. It was, indeed, altogether an extraordinary
hrformance. We trust this accomplished family will speedily
ttatitY the Irish public with another exhibition of talents,
*hich are scs rare, and which to every lover of music, must
)11)ve so delightful.
