Laporte, on Saturday night last, gave a splendid concert
411,t the Italian Opera House, aided by the whole vocal and in-
bejrUrnental strength of the establishment. With such "means
c' appliances," as the talents of six such artists as have never
pares and London, viz , Grisi, Albertazzi, Persiani, Rubini,
,aniburini, and Lablache, it is scarcely necessary to say the
Liting was of unrivalled excellence. This combination of
demur and ability, however, did not prove so decidedly attrac-
tive as might have been anticipated, the house being me: ely
Well attended but not filled with company. The peculiar powers
,‘laclr of the great artists mentioned were exhibited on Satur-
N, night, in the most popular pieces of the modern opera
l'ehool, which, whatever may be its intrinsic merit, certainly
derives an additional charm from their conception and superior
aeution. The compositions of the First Part were—the
Vonia Pastorali : the duets, " Sc pur guingi," of Donizetti,
(I,t't by Lablache and Tamburini " Nacqui affanno"
i.ossini), by Madame Albertazzi ; the trio and chorus, "The
Oath of Liberty," from Rossini's " William Tell ;" the trio by
byache, Rubini, and Tamburini; " Let the bright seraphim,"Urisi ; the duett of Rossini, " Parlar spiegar," by Rubini

!tLucia di Lammermoor," by Persiani; and the celebrated
stetto, from " Don Giovanni," " Solo, scla," by Grisi, Al-
ikrtazzi, Persiani, Rubini, Tamburini, and Lablache. No one
:h0 did not hear it can form the slightest conception of the
o,llhined effect of the voices in this
,superb sestetto. The
trio and

Grisi ought not to sing Handel's song, or if she will
persist in perpetrating such bad taste,

Pon Second, Part hae Mozart's Sinfonia in G minor; "Ah
`juingi," from Bellini's " Somnambula," by Persiani,

another trio from " William Tell ; the 'ducat, " La
by darem," from " Don Giovanni ;" a concerto on the violin

former from the Conservatoire at Paris, was but a mediocre
Performance, and occurring, as it did, in the midst of so much
threellenee, was vapid and tedious. The sinfonias were played
hat in a hasty and careless style. Costa, the conductor,
b Judiciously left the care of them to the leader of the band,
itut, from the eculiar construction of the erchestra, he was, as
hra_PPeared to us, to be seen by but few of the performers. The
trlugratrirne stated that the performances would conclude at
I„‘e,ven o'clock ; they were not over, however, till twenty mi-
