HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.

Mr. A. Sedgwick's concert took place on Monday night,
when a programme, consisting of thirty-six pieces of vocal
and instrumental music, was performed by some of our
most distinguished and talented young professors. To
enumerate all we should be obliged to write a
column ; we shall, therefore, confine ourselves to the
salient points of the concert. The concert opened
with the overture to Don Pasquale, performed
on ten concertinas, by Mr. A. Sedgwick, &c., &0.,
which had a novel effect. A new ballad, by Welling-
ton Guernsey, was sweetly sung by Miss Moriat
O'Connor, which, from the enthusiastic applause which
followed, promises to be most popular. Mr. A. Sedgwick
performed several times on the concertina, and always with
taste, judgment, and expression. Guilio Regondi's fanta-
sia for the guitar, on airs from Don Giovanni, was a
masterpiece. The morceau is arranged from Thalberg's
Don Giovanni fantasia. It was encored, and indeed it
well merited that honour, for we never heard such
perfect execution of such extraordinary difficul-
ties. On his re-appearance he played "La Chasse!"
by L. Schulz. Mr. T. Williams rendered Rossini's
beautiful aria from the Stabat divinely. Miss
Eliza Nelson was very successful in her father's
pretty song " Beautiful Night," The duet for piano

THEATRE ROTAL DRURT•LiNEe—WE have much
pleasure in announcing that an attempt is about to be
made to restore Old Drury to its true and legitimate
purpose. Arrangements are now completed, and in a
day or so a programme for the season will appear, in
which will be found the names of some of our best and
most talented actors and actresses. Tho " starring" sys-
tem will be completely avoided, and the beauties of the
legitimate drama will be given in a style of first-rate
excellence. Antigone is to be the first production. The
enterprizing lessee has our best wishes for his success.
Mr. Saint Amant, Governor of the Tuileries after
the departure of Louis Philippe on the 24th February,
has arrived in London. This gentleman is the celebrated
chess player who has obtained so high a reputation both
in England and on the 9ontinent.
