Mr. J. Cohan gave his annual concert last night, when
his numerous friends, and the admirers of his talent as a
pianist and composer, responded most loyally to his ad-
vertisements, for never did we Witness these roomeaso
much crowded; in fact, several parties who wereallMlL
late were obliged to return home. The aelectiseof:*4:-:i
music was excellent, both vocal and instrumegtal,
latterconalating chiefly of some of Mr. J. Cohliti's most
brilliant compositions, whilst the vocal was reinirletible
for
,several modern popular pieces. Amongst the •vocttiy
Music the first morceau that attracted our notice •wet-rp2.21
new song by Bianchi Taylor, " I cannot sing tO-ni.,4
which is an exquisite composition, a sweet melody;,lhsfetil
monsed with the skill of a true musician; Miss 'rrolty
was the interpreter, and charmingly indeed did she ac-
complish the most ardent wishes of poet and composer;
in her care it was perfection; loud and long-continued
applause proved a grateful homage to her exertions. We
understand the poetry is written by Mrs. Bachelor, a
musical amateur, a lady as celebrated for her kindness
of heart, and as a patroness of the fine arts, as for her
graceful talents as an authoress. Monsieur Sainton's
solo on the violin, introducing the divine air from
Lucrezia Borgia (sang by Mario), and the celebrated
chorus, was one of the most admired pieces of the even-
ing; we have frequent,y heard this clever violionist
lately, and whether he is heard in quintets, quartets,
duets, or solos, he is toujours le meme, for he
always displays those distinctions of style
which mark the accomplished musician, as well
as the brilliant and classical performer. His beautious
fantasia was received mos rapturously, and applauded
to the echo. John Parry, the fa.etious, suag Payre
Rosamond," and of course was encored. The Misses
Emma, Rosina, and Victoria Collins rendered deliciously
Sphor's beautiful trio, Nights' Lingering Shades."
The sweet soprano notes of Miss Emma and Rosina were
heard to great advantage in the second movement, whilst
the full-toned contralto tones of the talented little Vic-
toria--came out with great efkct in the first movement.
Mr. J. Cohan, the talented concert-giver, was greeted
on his entrf into the orchestra with the most enthusi-
astic demonstrations of congratulation and applause. He
played .four times daring the evening ; first his sonata
in A flat major, dedicated, by permission, to Sp,hr. This
beautiful composition is written in true classical
style ; the subject is elaborately treated in all the 'prin. -•
cipal forms of music. The slow movement is graceful in
the extreme ; the scherzo is playful and brilliant, and
the rondo finishes in the Polucca style. His fantasia
airs from Norma, introducing " Deh Conte," and the
" Grand March ;" also " Vivi tu," from Anna Bolena,
was applauded most rapturously. In this fantasia Mr.
J. Cohan displayed all the wonders of his exe-
cution, introducing some very peculiar and novel effects.
Mr. J. Cohan's fantasia, introducing two scherzos and a
triumphal march, was the triumph of the evening. He
performed them separately, then blended and harmo-
nized them together most ingeniously, concluding his
masterly performance by playing the two scherzos with
the lett band, while a brilliant variation was heard

revelling in intricacies of the most novel description.
Deafening peals of applause rewarded the exertions of

the conc—eri-giver. Mr. J. Cohan's quartet for two
violins, viola, and violencello, was played by Messrs.

Sainton, Weslake, Goffrie, and Hausmann, With a per-
it-ct ensemble ; this composition is remarkable for the

beauty et its structure and the manner; it was treated in

very classical and melodious st}le. Mr. Frederick
Chat:erton was eminently successful in his fantasia on
airs from Robert le _Diable. The Misses Williams en-

chanted their audience with their chaste and lovely
'inging, and Messrs. W. Holmes and Noble were able
conductors. The concert gave universal satisfaction.

MR. GORIA'S CONCERT.
HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.
This highly-gifted pianist was again most successful
at his concert yesterday, nothing could, indeed, exceed
the brilliancy of his masterly execution. A beautiful
ballad, by Wellington Guernsey, "I wish I were a girl
again," was charmingly sung by Miss M. O'Connor,
and narrowly escaped being redemanded. It was the
theme of general admiration.
