We were delighted to see so large an audience, among whom
we noticed Lord Burghersh, the Honourable General Upton,
Sir Giffin Wilson, Sir John Rogers, P. J. Solomans, Esq., and
most of the best amateurs of the delightful art at present in
London.

The exquisite manner in which these gentlemen play the
quartetts, is well known by our frequent reports to the readers
of The Sun, and we assure them that the interval since last
season has been well spent. We never heard the splendid
quartett which opened the conceit more beautifully delivered ;
it was the perfection of quartett playing. Every expression of
the author was most carefully attended to, and the result was
an unanimous burst of applause, at the termination of each
movement of this charming c'mposition. -
Our space will not permit us to go much in detail, the Quay-
tett of Mozart was surpassingly beautiful, the "Andante con va-
riazione" struck us as the most perfect quartett playing we ever
heard. It is a concerto for each instrument, combining- the most
beautiful melody with the magnificent harmony for which Mo-
zart is so preeminently distinguished ; it still haunts us as we
pen this brief notice of it.
We were delighted to see the veteran Lindley joining this
party; it is a work of supererogation to do more thin an-
nounce his name,—a guarantee for all that is most excellent.
Mrs. Anderson played in her very best style, the fair ladies
sang extremely well, and the vocal selection was worthy of the
great instrumental writers with whose compositions they were
associated. A new horn player was introduced to the public, Mr.
Jarrett, and we have no doubt but his great excellence will give us
frequent opportunities during the present musical season of
mentioning a performance of such distinguished talent. We
particularly recommend to his notice the exquisite light and
shade, and the subdued manner in which the quartetts of last
evening were displayed.
Mr. Lucas, whom we only before knew as a violoncellist, accom-
panied the songs on the pianoforte in that exquisite manner
which left us nothing to desire, and stamped him as a first-rate
musician. We particularly recommend to the notice of our fair
friends the spinning-wheel accompaniment to Schubert's song,
" Let me weep again."

Her IVlajesty the Queen Dowager has had =cis
issued for a grand dinner at Marlborough House on the 26th
instant.

The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland returned
to Stafford House last evening from a visit to her Majesty at
Windsor Castle. The Noble Duke and Duchess have a dinner
party on Thursday next.

The Earl of Derby will leave Grosvenor square
this reornin,,,,, for Knowsley, his seat, near Prescott, Lance,
shire. Lord- and Lady Stanley are still at Lathorn House, on a
visit to Lord and Lady Skelmersdale.

THE SPEAKER S LEVEES.—The Speaker will
hold three Parliamentary levees, at his house in Eaton-square,
on Saturday the 22d, Saturday the 29th of February, and Sa-
turday the 7th of March.

DEATH OF THE COUNTESS OP LEITRIM.-
We regret to announce the demise of the Right Hon. 'Maria
Countess of Leitrim, which took place at the Spa Hotel, Dur-
ham, on Wednesday last. •

Dr. Broackes of (Sackville-street) was the me-
dical attendant of Mr. Sheriff Wheelton, examined on Tuesday
night by the House of Commons, and not Dr. Brooks, as stated
in our report.

The Committee of the Incorporated Literary
Fund Society, at their meeting on Wednesday, passed a unani-
mous resolution to present addresses of congratulation to her
Majesty the Quoen, and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, on
the occasion of their marriage.

Lord and Lady Raryborough entertained the
Duke of Dorset, Dowager Countess of Clarendon, Lord and
Lady Fitzroy Somerset, Mr. and Lady Mary West, Sir W.
Freemantle, Sir Charles Rowley, Captain liagot, Sir D. Davies,
and a numerous circle, at dinner on Wednesday evening, at
their mansion in Saville-row.

Viscount Dungannon, M.P., has left town for
Brynkinalt, Wales, where her Ladyship has been during the
Noble Viscount's brief stay in town.
OXFORD, FEB. 12.—1 n a convocation holden
this day, a loyal and dutiful address of congratulation to her
Most Gracious Majesty, on her recent nuptials with Prince
Albert, was unanimously agreed to, and a delegacy appointed to
present the same to her Majesty on the Throne.
We are happy to hear, on good authority, that
the report of the death of Sir Henry Fane, is entirely without
foundation; and we hope that the rumour of the death of the
Gallant*Lord Keane, the hero of Guznee, is equally destitute
of truth.

ADELPIII.—Jack Sheppard was played for the
ninetieth time last night, with Brckstone's Poor Jack. The
following fashionables were present :—The Duke of Leeds,
Prince Napoleon, the Earl of Chesterfield ; Lords Se„ rave,
Gardner, Frederick Beauclerk ; Viscount Cantalupe, the Hon.
Captain Pitt, &c.

quets of marabout, and a deep fall of Brussels point lace ;
another is of pale pink satin, richly covered with Brus-
sels point lace and wreaths of flowers. The third Is of celes-
tial blue terry velvet, with one splendid ostrich leather, and

THE SPEAKER'S PARLIAMENTARY DIN-
NERS.-The Parliamentary Dinners of the present Speaker
bid fair to be much more splendid than those of his predecessor.
We perceive that his invitation cards request his company to appear in full dress. •4, • •• •
A very fine dining-room has been built adjoining the Speaker's
house in Eaton-square. It is in the same line with the house,
the frontage being continuous, but is not carried higher than
the ground floor. Report says that the dining-room and ante-
room have been fitted up very magnificently, and the enter-
tainments are likely to be worthy of the head of the Com-
moners of England. We confess we are glad to see that even
in secondary matters of this description, the present Speaker
mill ably maintain, as he certainly does in the chair of the
licusa of Commons, the just dignity of his station.—Morning
AO.
