CLASSICAL EVENING CONCEICO.

oro'
A series of three subscription concerts, under the above title, ,_,„O
menced on Friday evening at the Hanover.sqUare Rooms. They have
established for the purpose of affording the adnijrers of wind.instruni er,
music the opportunity of hearing compositions of that character
formed by some of the most eminent professors at pe"Selit in 1-`°9,:cre
and our readers may judge of the style in which the several pieces "00
played, when we state that the performers were Messrs. Secllateei‘
flute, Barret the oboe, Willman the clarionet, PLIZZI the hor,,"'
eicrr
Baumann the bassoon. Theconcert opened with a Quintet, by
for flute, oboe, horns, and bassoon. Another Quintet, by the e'vf
composer, was played in the course of the evening, with a Nonnet,'
Thrommer; Dragonetti's double bass, another horn, and an addin°
bassoon and oboe being added to the instruments already mentioPo
Allowing for the imperfections which an extremely cold night nattir:cli
effected in wind-instrument playing, the pieces mentioned, all of vrd'
were of great difficulty and intricacy, were delightfully exsNuted, sin 0,0
forded areal treat to the auditory. The gem of the evening, hs.lweeer' ri(l,
decidedly Beethoven's quintet for pianoforte, clarinet, oboe, fr
bassoon. Mrs. Anderson was the performer upon the first inetitilosi
instrument, and eminent as that lady has long been as the most tiro'
performer of all the English pianists, she added, in our estimation,os
additional wreath to the laurels already won. The performance Abe
in admirable keeping, and exquisitely calculated to give (Met t° ttCr
composition, instead of merely chewing off the artist, which is o,ese
too frequently the only study of the player. The accompaniment', till'
by the wind instruments with the utmost delicacy and liltjoit
wrought expression, and thus resulted a combination the richot epi
can be conceived. The slow movement was particularly admired .00;
applauded. Besides the instrumental music, several vocal comP°'it,,te,
were introduced. Donizetti's pleasing duet," Oh la bella Immantirne-diC
was well sung by Sigs. Catotti and F. Lablache ; Cimarosa's air, " Q.,u„,•Or
pupille tenere," by Madame Eckerlin ; the well.known duet from
" Crude' perche," by Miss F. Wyndham and Signor F. Labla'oe
and Mozart's beautiful air " L'Addio," by Miss F. Wyndham' rasa
vocal music was accompanied on the piano by M. Negri. M
stated, the night was extremely cold, and the effects of the weatr;oce,
peared to have communicated a sympathetic effect to the au",,,;-bitea
for we never observed much less warmth and enthusiasm e1",..-vor'
at the hearing of so admirable and novel a performance, as a grea'f'ttie
tion of the bill of fare included. Judging from the appearance ° wee
room last night, we should fear that the speculation would not B°,ol
the wishes of the projectors. More favourable weather, liovie,ipt
and the novelty of these concerts, when a knowledge of ,diemllA,...or!
been established becomes generally diffused amongst the area 01'
of wind instrument music, and indeed of Ana PlaYing"
th,
any class, will, we hope, procure a fuller attendance, and Amore C'n
elastic auditory, at the succeeding concerts.

HISTORY OF FERDINAND ARD IsAßELDAt'icig
The whole history of Spain presents no period so interesicift
as that of the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella. Not to SP;r,
only, but to the whole world, was it a period of vast illl,,ft
'
tance. During this memorable reign, the provinces of ,
which had before formed so many petty Kingdoms', sie,
united under one Crown. Naples was subdued ; Nia"°tiotl
danism was driven from that side of Europe ; the Incluisi;sc•
was established ; America was discovered; and all the c°; of
quences of that New World, opening upon the enterPrisit
the Old, began to tell upon the whole frame of society. ,oula
strange that a period of such exciting interest as this 5:114i5•
n)t have been before pourtra3cd. Mr. Prescott, in his
tory of Ferdinand and Isabella," however, has fortune' bie
availed himself of the recent discovery of a mine of Yaluilthe
manuscripts, which had slumbered unheeded for ages uP,caloor
shelves of some Spanish libraries, to supply the hiatus '1 bib
historical literature, and very completely has he fulfille na
task. This is one of the best histories which has appeary
so
late years, and ought to be added to every library, End Tirgo
the circuit of every-club. The reader who begin g it vvl
