HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.
Madame Sala gave a concert )esterday morning, when
she was surrounded by almost all the rank, fashion, and
talent in London. Proud, indeed, ought this veteran
favourite of the public to feel to witness such a reunion,
and affected, indeed, we know she was. Every young
talented professor responded to her request, and all
seemed to be anxious to render their old favourite every
assistance in their power. This was one of the most
charming concerts of the season; the programme was
well selected, and every piece was warmly, and in many
instances rapturously, applauded, although there were
very few gentlemen present, the room being crowded to
excess with ladies of' high rank and fashion. Our space
unfortunately prevents us from giving a lengthened ac-
count of this delightful matinee; we shall merely notice
the salient points of the concert. The talented little
Kate Loder played a fantasia on the piano that would
have done credit to some of the foreigners that come
here with fine names and inflated reputations. The
fascinating Anna Milton flew on the wings of friendship
to the dear old beneficiaire, from the rehearsal at the
Princess's, although she had to sing at the theatre in
the evening in the sweet opera, The Crown Diamonds.
She indeed charmed all hearts in Auber's " Air du
Concert 1 la Cour;" this is an effective composition from
the great variety of the movements. The beautiful " Motivi
povera Signora " was given by Madame Thillon with
the sweetest naiveté and archness, and the last move-
ment with a matchless brilliancy of execution. The great
novelty and attraction of the day was the highly gifted
little violiniste, Rosina Collins ; we heard an enthusiastic
amateur (well known as the intimate friend of Paganini),
call her " The Goddess of the Bow," and well dues she
merit the appellation,—variety and sweetness of tone,
full, sweet, and perfectly in tune, power and facility of
execution, feather bowing, pathos, and taste, form some of
the excellences of her astonishing performances, which
consisted of "Le Tremolo caprice sur un theme de
Beethoven," by De ;Beriot. On finishing her perform-
ance, applause the most enthusiastic greeted the fair
young virtuosa, and all the professors congratulated her
on her splendid performance. Mr. Sims Reeves was in
full force, and was rapturously encored in a romance by
Mercadante. The Misses Williams charmed everybody
with Walter Maynard's pretty duet, " The Gondoliers."
Miss Nelson sung sweetly a pretty ballad, " Beautiful
Night," and Miss Bassano, Miss Sara Flower, and Mrs.
Weiss contributed their valuable assistance. The con-
cert delighted everybody, and every piece went off
witlah. éclat, and to the satisfaction of dear old Madame
Sa
