CONCERTS.

HANOVER.SQUARE ROOMS.
A grand Concert was given last evening under very dis-
tinguished patronage. at these rooms, by Messrs. Carte and
Hayward. The pertnrmanees were divided into two parts.
the first consisting of a new Sacred Oratorio, written and
composed by Miss Mary Linwcod, and entitled David's
first Victory. Sir George Smart conducted the Concert.
The Oratorio has considerable merit as a composition.
It abounds with passages of feeling and expression, and
indicates occasionally much fervour of thought. The se-
cond part of the concert was miscellaneous, It com-
menced with an overture of Beethoven's, followed by a
performance by Mr. Hayward on the violin of a " cappriccio
sentimentale." Mr. H ryward subsequently played a" Ve-
netian barcarolle"...-a wore attractive composition—with
much spirit and effezt. Ile is a very clever performer.
loose, and somewhat ragged in his style, but gifted with
genius and capability, and only wanting a mature,. polish
to become great. Mr. Carte played with more power and
animation than we have been accustomed to bear hire. He
accompanied Miss Clara Novello with great spirit in the
" Rising of the lark," the vocal portion cf which was do.
quently sustained by the lady. Mozart's overture to Figaro
served to play the departure of a very crowded company.

• SOCIETA ARMONICA.
This Society gave thtir third concert last night it the
great room in the Queen's Theatre. The per;dimances
commenced with Beethoven's eighth smpitony, better
known as the one ir,F major; and although it does not rank
so high as any of his first six, there could be no good rea-
son why it should be indifferently played. The singers
and instrumental performers were of the very first els*
but the concert had not been properly rehearsed, and full
justice, therefore, could not be done to it. With this ex-
ception, we have to bestow unqualified praise upon the
performances of the evening, which, in the instrumental
department, included the overture to, The Ruler of the
Spirits, by Weber; that to Egmont, by Beethoven; and
the celebrated Der Bergeist, by Spohr; with Hummel's
charming quintett in E flat, for pianoforte, violin, violas
violoncello, and double bass; the whole of which were ad-
mirably played, especially the last-mentioned, by Messrs.
Lindley, Howell, Maralt, Tolbecque. - and Forbes.
la addition to these, Mr. Baumann performed
a solo on the bassoon, and Mr. Jarrott, another
on the horn, both of which were very well executed. a)-
though we think flute variations upon the latter not a little
out of place. The singing was confined to compositions of
which we have repeatedly made mention, with the excep-
tion of a song from Spohr's Faust, Va Sma—
rm:lido," wherein the accompaniments are of the moss
charming description. Lablache gave this most fartutiful
air with surprising effect. The other singers were,Madame
Grisi and Mademoiselle de Varny. The next concert vrill
take place on the 18th of this month, for which, we under-
stand, Mdlle. Nair, the prima donna of the Academie
Royale at Paris, is engaged

WESLEYAN MISSIONARY ETY. is• •
annual meeting of the Wesleyan Methodist Clissionary Sot:letTht
was held on Alonday at Exeter Hall. Every corner of the
great room was filled ahnost to suffocation. Sir P. Laurie, the
Chairman, said there never was a better man than the-founder
of their body, John Wesley. He did not hesitate to say that
the Wesluyans had done more good in the metroixilis than enY
other body. He had been an active Magistrate for mall'
years, but he never yet had to send a Wesleyan Methodist t4O.
prison. It appeared from the report that great success has at,'
tended the efforts of the Society during tls past year in Sea
. -
den and France, as well as in the Australian and Polynesian
Islands ; and also in Africa, particularly in Cafraria. The r
port occupied nearly an hour in reading, and was unanimonalY
adopted by the numerous meeting. Among the gentlemen
prvsent on the plat form near the Chairman were Sir Augustus
D'Este, Mr. Tooke, Mr. Emerson Tennent, Colonel Con-
nullv, and many of the most distinguished Wesleyan minister'.
THE STANLEY ENSLAVEMENT
Neither turbulence on the case hand, nor slavish submission to
tyranny on the other, is manifested by Ireland in the present
most momentous crisis. She presents the spectacle of a nation
calmly, firmly, but constitutionally engaged in the good work of
resistance to the foullest wrong, and; in this high position must
secure the support and sympathy of just and prudent men 01
all creeds and countries.
CALVES,—Diarrhoea is proving very fatal this
season to young calves, for v.-bleh the following treatment has
proved very successful. As soon as the disease is ascertained.
use gentle bleeding, and m,ld purgatives, such as 2oz. of castor
oil, or 3 oz. of rspsom salts, followed by I oz. of prepared chalk,
I cram of opism, 4 drams of catichu. and
'2 drams of ginger,
mixed and divided into three parts, given at ten tours' interval.
Mr. Cumood, the well-known counsel on this
circuit, has had his eye-sight completely restored by the
opera-
tion of couching.— Irorcesier Herald.

MRS. SEVERN'S CONCERT.
Last everting a concert was given at Willis's Rooms by
Mr. and Mrs. Severn. The performance commenced by. .
a quintett in A minor, by OLslow, which was but in—
differently pla}ed by Messrs. G. and H. Baniater,
Willy, 11111, and Severn. Miss. Mason sung " From rosy'.
howcrs" with her usual power and execution.' Mr. Jaffe,.
whilst playing on the French horn Rubini's beautiful
dir, "Oh bell alma," in Lucia di Latumermtiort -
carried his whole audience into the Italian Opera House. -mot
so closely did he ally the tones of his instrument with the
human voice. With the exception of Puni, we never
heard this air so beautifully performed before. Messrs.
Hobbs and Phillips sang Haydn's " As I saw Cblora walk
alone " with great effect ; and Mr. liobbx sung exquisitely
Weber's delightful air, " When the orb of day is sinking.'
.Ar. Richardson played a solo on the flute, and Mr. Phil- :` `4f,
tins e,,neluded the entertainments of the evening by the
magnificent old song__
