Music.--Tha second performance of the VOCAL.
CONCERT, under -the dire&ion of Messrs. HARRI-
SON, BARTLEMAN, and GREATOREX, took place last
night at the Hanover-square Rooms.—The chief
novelty of the evening was Mr. FISCHER, a singer,
from Germany, whose father, someyears ago, was
introduced to the public at SALOMON'S Concert.—
Mr. FISCHER inherits the powerful voice of his fa-
ther, but combines with it more taste and science.
There is, however, a peculiaritrin his style, which
does not at first excite a very agreeable impression,
but in proportion as he is heard, he seems very
likely to increase in , favour. His lower tones are
very strong, but not very musical ; his middle and
upper ton-s sue best, and he. obviously sings with
feeling and expression. He seems to be a modest,
unassuming man, and was very grateful for the ap-
plause which he received. It is but just to add,
that he appeared to be highly gratified with BAR-
TLEMAN'S singing, and zealously joined in applause.
BARTLEMAN was received as betore, with great ap-
plause, and -he amply requited the audience by the
excellent manner in which he gave an 'Air by
CALcorr, taken from the Poem of The Pleasures
of IPpe. HARRISON led on in a charming man-
ner the grand Chorus of." Glory to God." CATA-
LAN! was in better health, and sang with all her
wonted skill. Miss STONE, .3 child hardly eleven
years old, performed a- Concerto on the Piano-forte
With surprising brilliancy of execution and taste.—
The Concert was admirable altogether, and the
Room had a large assemblage of fashionable vi-
sitors.

Yesterday a man was brought to Bow-street
Office on a charge of felony, under peculiar circum-

To hill-fields Bridewell for trial.
