ceived yesterday, which states that the ports of

ICING's TurATaE.---The second appearance of
Madame PASTA, last night, excited almost PS nu-
merous an audience as attended on Saturday. The
Opera was again Welk', and having made so fa-
vourable an impression on Saturday, and on Mon-
day night, at the Phil-harmonic Concert, she
self-possession both in act-
iPaegrf:T and estiln gwi nugh, aniliodre her
Desdemona excited sym-
pathy as well as applause. GARCIA still dis-
played signs 9f indisposition, but he supported
Thei iMons. FERDINAND made
s first appearance as a dancer in the Divertitse-
-Illoot with effect,

coi, but
the first act. His performance
spas titdoes not yet appear to be
of the first order.

ARGYLL ROOMS.--It is with regret, as well as
pleasure, that we last night atteuded these Rooms,
as it was to witness the Farewell Concert of
Miss SHARP, whose excellence as a performer on
the harp hes justly raised her into high profes-
, sional celebrity, and whose amiable character in
private life has rendered her the object of esteem
to a numerous traiu of friends. The concert, last
night, was led by Mom, and Sir Greonne SMART
was the Conductor. The Orchestra was amply
supplied with eminent Composers. The singers
were chiefly It'll's. SALMON, Miss M. TREE,
Miss GOODALL, IAIiSS VENES, AMBROGETTI,
VAUGHAN, WELSH, TERRAIL, and Beee,kerv.
—The music was in, general well selected
and well performed.--:On ' the eatrance of
Miss SHARP, to perforth a Fantasia on the
harp, she was received with a warmth • of
applause that testified the respect in which her
talents and character are held, and her perform-
ance fully justified the admiration which she ex-
cited. In this Fantasia she introduced the
melody of Donald, which she performed with
variations and with exquisite taste and feeling.
The same may be said of her second per-
formance, in which she introduced " • Had
I a heart for falsehood framed," and by
which she powerfully affected the feelings of
the audience. At the end of the first act, a
Flute Concerto, by Ntcnor.soN, was most de-
served applauded, In the second act, Varia-
tions on the Piano-forte were performed by Mr.
SCHLESINGER in a masterly style, and the whole
of the Concert was received with reiterated ap-
plause by a numerous and elegant auditory. We
presume that Miss SHARP, though she retires
from public life, does not relinquish her profession,
and in that case we are assured that her talents and
her amiable qualities will meet with too much en-
couragement to render a public performance any
longer necessary, though the cessation must cer-
tainly be a diminution of public pleasure.
