THE ADELAIDE GALLERY.
THE INFANT HARPIST.

This truly wonderful child, Fanny Gregorie, whose
performance upon her native instrument, the Irish harp,
has lately elicited the most enthusiastic praise from the
Dublin newspapers, made last evening her debut before
an English audience, at the Adelaide Gallery. She
seems to be about four years of age, but brings tones
from the difficult instrument upon which she performs,
as full and equal as could be drawn forth by the hand of
a master. In every part of the extensive galleries and
in all the corridors every note was heard. She played
with equal vivacity, freedom, and expression, a variety
of Italian, Scotch, and Irish airs, each of which was
rapturously applauded, by a very numerous company.
The genius of Carolan breathed over the wires as they
were traversed by her tiny hands, and imparted to them
a melody which mechanical music does not possess, and
angels only can inspire. The announcement of her in-
tended re-appearance on Thursday next was received
with reiterated applause.
