Thomas,
as formerly, including among its members Tolbccque,
Hill, and Kearns, as violas; Lindley and Hatton, as violon-
cellos;
Willman, Baumann, Platt, Harper, Smithies, and
Chipp, in the wind instruments. Tolbecque was the leader,
and, as usual, Mr. Forbes the ccnductor. The selection
for the evening was eminently good. The concert opened
with Beethoven's symphony in C minor, which was played
with a precision arid effect only to be looked for from such
a magnificent band as was mustered upon the occasion.
The finale to this symphony is one of the most spurt-
stirring campositions to which the language of music has
ever given birth. It forms, too, the most attractive nart
of Moscheles' trio for three pianofortes, entitled " Horn-
mage a Beethoven," in which dress it has excited the eu-
miration of tl.ousands who have bad no opportunity of re-
cognizing its beauties in the original. This was tLe only
sympony of the evening, the ,other instrumental pieces
ben; the overture to Oberon, Mozart's Zauberflote, and
an entirely new overture by Berlioz, the celebrated French
composer, whose recent musical work, founded upon the
play of Romeo and Juliet, has produced an immense
sensation in Paris. One of the great advantages of con-
certs upon so extended a scale as those of the " Societe
Armcnica" is to be found in the constant reproduction
of dramatic instrumental music, which would other-
wiie be forgotten, if not lost altogether ; such, for in-
stance, as Weber's Oberon, which is a masterpiece of its
kind, and would never be beard but for such occasions as
those. The same may be said of Zauberflote. When
will 11 Flauto Magico be performed at a theatre ? The
grand novelty of the concert was, however, the . overture
alluded to, by Berlioz, and which is entitled " Des
Francs- Juges," the intention of the composer being to
Shadow forth in music the circumstances represented
in the following extract frome the " Drame de la Re-
volution" D'atroces clamcurs, des plaintes, des me-
naces, des supplications, des paroles de moot, des noble
clans, des pleurs, Cu sang et du feu." That he has
fully succeeded there can be no manner of doubt, for
the overture from beginning to ,end is little better than a
crash of clamorous sound. The instrumentation is, how-
ever, of a high order, exhibiting on the part of the com-
poser an intimate acquaintance with its remotest powers,
and a perfect mastery over its resources; but those who
look 'for sentiment, expression, and melody will not find
them in the work of M. Berlioz. It is not comparable to
the overture of Oberon. veith which it was placed in very
disadvantageous contrast. .The -singers • were Madame
Persiani, Nldlle. De Varny, Mell*Parigiani (her first ap-
pearance), and Signor Colleiti;;.e also appeared for the
first time at any concert in thiStountry. In the cavatina
Sorgcte," from Maometto Secondo, this gentleman
af-
forded us an opportunity of hearing him in a style of com-
position altogether differ ent from that of the opera in which,
he is at present delighting his auditors, and the result
'was as favourable as we could wish. Signor Colletri
possesses remarkable flexibility of voice, with great execu-
tion, ft cts which the music he sings in Torquato Tasso
does not make apparent. We are glad to know this, for his
flue tones will be welcomed and appreciated in the grace-
fully fix., in; melodies of Bellini end Rossini, for which
they are admirably adapted. Mdile. de Varny improved
upon us greatly. Her voice is better fitted for the concert
room than for the theatre. She gave Meyerbeer's very diffi-
cult Robert, toi quo j'airne," from Robert le Diable, with
much expression and eleiracter, the elegant accompaniment,
of the corn° Inglese and harp, imparting to it an additional
charm. Persiani sang " Batti, batti," from Don Giovanni,
with a grace and intonation that would have delighted
Mozart himself. The young debutante, Mdlle. Parigiani,
has a sweet oolitralto voice, ,hut not much power, unless
the fright of a'first appearance deprived her of it, which is
riot improbable. Het singing way pure, her st)ie pleasing,
and her intonation perfect. Mr. Hayward perfmoned two
of his own compositidni for the violin, in, which enormous
difficulties were overcome wi' h apparent case; but melody
and car.tando playing would be quite as acceptable as mere
difficulti s, and perhaps more cc. This young and most
excellent violinist would do well-to fellow the example of
De Beriot in this particular. The concert; whielewas exe
treniely well• attended, concluded with Mozart's overture
to Z iuberflote, a composition which loses none of itsattrac
tiens by repetition.
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, 21Ltztem 31.
The Lonn CHANCELLOR took his seat en the \\Teohack
at Five (,'Clock.

Several Bills were brought up from the Commons.
The Marquis of BUTE presented petitions from Avon-
dale, Hamilton, and other places, in favour of the Noa-
Intrusio❑ principle, and 30 petitions from different parts in
favour of the present mstem of Corn-laws.

The Bh,hop. of LONDON presented two petitions from
parishes in Nova Scotia, praying for protection to the
Church in the .colonies.

NON-INTRUSION.
Loyd MELBOURNE presented a petition from Scot-
land, complaining of the unconstitutional interference of
the Court of Session on the question of intrusion.
The Earl cf ABE RDE EN said one of the reasons for
which a speedy decit•ion on the part of her Majesty's Go-
vernment was desirable was, that some other person might
be able to take the matter up in case they declined it. He
himself had not contemplated doing so, for it appeared to
him clearly the duty of her Majesty's Government, when
the peace of the country and the good order of society
%ere concerned. But he took it for granted her Majesty's
Government would do a hat appeared to them to be their
imperative duty. The Noble Lord had done that
which no doubt he considered consistent with
his duty, and that being the case, and knowing
what he did of the state of the country, he felt
it incumbent on him to attempt to bring forward such
a measure, as he thought might have a chance of re
storing peace to the Church of Scotland, and to the coun-
try now so much disturbed. He, therefore, wished to give
notice that immediately after Easter he should take the
liberty of presenting a Bill for that purpose.
Lord MELBOURNE made an observation, which was
inaudible.
