went out this morning.

SCHUBERT SOCIETY.

A concert for the benefit of Herr Schubert,
founder of the " Schubert Society," was given last
evening at the Beethoven Rooms, Harley •street—
conductor, M. Jules Benedict, president of the
society. The chief soloists were Herr Schratten -
holz, pianoforte ; Herr Ludwig, violin ; and Herr
Schubert, violincello. llerr Ludwig was much
applauded for his clever execution of Tartini's
"Tulle du Diable," and contributed greatly to the
success of the benkficiare's original quartett, with
which the first part of the concert concluded. llerr
Schubert also played with much effect another of
his own compositions, in two parts, a "berceuse," and
a brilliant rondo, " impatience," which were greatly
applauded. The vocal portion of the programme
included three artists, who did not come, but their
absence was compensated for by the efforts of Miss
Fanny Poole, Miss Jessie Royd, and Mdlle. Chame-
roozow, the latter young lady making on this occa-
sion her second public appearance. She was pre-
eminently successful, and, though extremely young,
sings with a purity of intonation and a correctness
of style which indicate great natural capabilities
and careful training in the best school. We under-
stand she has received her vocal education from
M. F. Delsarte, the celebrated professor of singing
in Paris. She was encored in Reber's lively song,
" Le Jardin," and repeated it ; and the same tribute
of satisfaction was paid her in the second part ; after
Wenkerlin's gay ballad, " Stars the night adorn-
ing," she sang, accompanying herself, " The Oak
and the Ash," from Chappell's collection, with an
expression and pathos quite remarkable. Her voice
is of beautiful quality, and she possesses the very
rare merit of distinct articulation. With so many
excellent points in her favour, she cau scarcely fail
to achieve a first position. M. Benedict accom-
panied the vocalists with his habitual carefulness
and tact.
