MADAME SCHWAB'S CONCERT.
This concert, which took place last evening in the
Princess's Concert-room, was on the whole an elegant
and agreeable entertainment. Like benefit concerts in
general, got up to please a miscellaneous audience, it
contained things addressed to the vulgar taste; but there
were several pieces of a high order executed by some of
our best performers. Madame Schwab herself is a very
good pianist, with a clear touch, a reasonable degree of
execution, and a musician-like style. Her performance
of Hummers " Rondo Brilliant," with septet accom•
panimeuts, was exceedingly satisfactory. Miss Catherine
Hayes sang Donizetti's air, " Benigno ciel," with the
utmost beauty of voice and brilliancy of execution. Miss
Williams gave Gluck's " Che faro senza Euridico" with
characteristic simplicity of expression. Mr. Whitworth,
produced much effect in Romer's pathetic ballad, The
Salior Boy's Return." and in a fine French song,
"L'ange cli;hu," by Vogel. There were several other
good vocal performances by Miss Dolby, Mr. Jules
Stockhausen, Miss Pyne, and Herr Mengia ; and a solo
on the flute, brilliantly played by Signor Briccialdi.
The room was quite full.

Ma. WYLD'S GLOBB.—Yesterday morning at an
early hour the greatest confusion was caused in the im
flame
e-
diate vicinity of Leicester-square, owing to a body of
shooting up apparently from the newly-erected buil
slr. W ding for
the exhibition of the monster globe belonging to yld,
M.P. Several engines of the London Brigade and West of
England office attended, when the firemen found that the
fire had broken out in a wooden building within the enclo-
sure of Leicester-square, used as a storehouse and tempo-
sure
pay-once, but detached from the building for the exhi-
bition The space, however, between the two was very,
small, and at one period strong apprehensions were enter-
tained lest the wind should drive the fire into the newly-
formed structure. The whole of the men at work on the
Premises, to the number of 160, instantly repaired to the
spot, as well as Mr. Wyld, and owing to their exertions the
books and other documents in the place were removed in
safety. After some time water was procured, and the hose
having been attached to the stand-pipe, the firemen were
enabled to extinguish the flames, but not until the building
in which they commenced was burnt down ; fortunately not
the least injury was done to the main building. The pro-
perty consumed belonged to Mr. Myers, the builder, of the
Belvedere-road, Lambeth. it was at first imagined that the
fire had been the work of some incendiary, but from in-
quiries since made there seems no doubt that it was owing
to the watchman making too great a fire in the grate to
warm the building. Mr. Wyld, we are sorry to say, in his
exertions to rescue the property, ricked his back, which has
since caused him considerable pain.
