MR. KITHE'S CONCERT,

On Wednesday morning this accomplished COM'
poser and brilliant instrumentalist gave his annual
concert at St. James's-hall, on which occasion one
of the largest audiences of the season was attracted
to the great hall by the brilliant programme issued
by Mr. Kuh6. The vocalists comprised
Christine Nilsson, Md!le. Sinico, Mdlle. Liebliart,
Madame Trebelli,Madame Sainton Dolby, Signor
Mongini, Herr Reichardt, Signor Gardoni, Mr. Toni
Holder, Signor Gassier, Signor Foli, Herr Bokitan
sky, Signor Pandolfini, and Mr. Santley ; and the
instrumentalists were—Violin : Herr Leopold Auer;
violoncello : Signor Piatti ; harmonium : Herr 1
Engel; harp: Mr. Aptomma3; pianoforte: gr. lithe.
With such an array of talent it was not sur-
prising to see the programme a lengthy one,
but the audience were so delighted with each of
the vocal and instrumental pieces, that, with 3
few exceptions, the entire company remained until
the conclusion of the concert. The programme
commenced with Verdi's quartette "E scherzo ed c
follia," from the Ballo in Marschera, by Madame
Trebelli, Signors Gassier, RAchardt, and Fa,
which was followed by Schubert's splendid song
" The Wanderer," sung with the greatest taste by.
Signor Foli. Signor Gardoni then gave one of his
sweetest airs, " L'lmpossibile," with all that fervour
which has rendered him one of the greatest favour-
ites in the concert room. Mr. Santley, Of
course, won immense applause by his singing
of Biumenthal's song, " Sweet is true love," and
Mdlle. Liebhart charmed the audience with Abt's
song, " Cuckoo." The appearance of Mdlle. Nils-
son, led forward by Mr. Benedict, was the signal
for the most enthusiastic applause, and her singing
of two of her native Swedish songs quite enraptured
the aristocratic assembly. Mime. Sinico sang "Dcll,
vieni, non tardar," from the " Marriage of Figaro,
with the utmost skill, and Mr. Tom Hohler gave
Balfe's romance, " Si to savais," with much taste,
and feeling. Mongini gave a brilliant exposition of
the quality and power of his voice in an aria from
Donizetti's "Don Sebastian ;" and Herr RokitanskY
also availed himself of an aria from " L'Etoile
du
Nord" for a similar display. Herr Reichardt sang a
new song of his own composing, " Tell me it is n°t
so," very tastefully, but it was not equal to his
former efforts either for melody or effect. Pussii3g
the other vocal pieces, all of which were excellently
sung, we come to the instrumental part of the con-
cert, the greatest feature of which were the per-
formances of Mr. Kuh6. The
pieces he selected
were three solo pieces of his own composition--;
namely," Illustration de l'Africaine," "Tarantella,
" La Piquante," Valse Impromptu, a Nocturne by
Chopin, and a duo for pianoforte and violin, by
0
Beethoven, with M. Auer. The first-named rice,
was a splendid performance, and elicited unbouudeao
applause ; it showed most unmistakably the coverlet _
control of the instrument, and at the same tialf
finely exhibited the splendid touch and powerful
lei
hand of Mr. Kuh6. 'lhe audience were enthusiastic
in their applause, and none more so than was °lic
of our greatest London entertainers, himself a great
performer on the pianoforte, who was present 3t
the concert, and who seemed to enjoy and 3P:
preciate the playing of M. Katie to the utmosl
" The Tarantella" was a piece wonderful for thu
rapidity of its execution, and the valse was a char'
ing composition. Herr Engel's solo on the h,a.
monium " Home, sweet home," was remarkable 17,
the peculiarity of the accompaniment to the ba113,u.,
and Signor Piatti's violoncello was irreproachably
good. M. Auer, the violinist, is a very skilful per-
former,
w.e'-`,
former, and in one of Paganini's Caprices
how successfully he had conquered the ditficulol
of his instrument. Mr. Benedict, M. Arditti, the
M. Ganz accompanied the vocalists with
greatest skill, precision, and effect, the former bent
tieman officiating for Mdlle. Nilsson with the 'Hive
exquisite taste and the utmost expression. vet
concert was one of the most successful that has
taken place this season.

With regard to the corn market at Birmingham,
Ma% Cave states as follows :—The crops generally
exhibit a greatly improved appearance. Wheat trade
has continued in the same lifeless state as reported
last week; this is to be accounted for by the dull,
discouraging state of the flour trade, •owing to an
Increased supply of vegetables at this period to corn-
Pete with bread, and to the naturally decreased
consumption of food in hot weather. Foreign arri-
/rale are again considerable, but millers and bakers
are known to be generally very short of stock.
/Dar market to-day partonk of quite a holiday cha-
racter, the fair and the horse show having more at-
tractions than a miserably dull market. In the
absence of any pressure to sell prices remain
nominally as last quoted. Fine red, 665. to 68s. ;
common, 58s. to 625. ; white, 68s. to 725. ; all per
qr of 4961b5. Foreign wheat, being now relatively
cheaper than English, found a few buyers in retail
at a reduction of Is. to 2s per qr. on Chilian.
The report of the St. John Del Rey Mining Com-
pany, to be presented at the meeting on the 27th
instant, states that the net profit on the working of
the mines from the 32d March, 1866, to the 23d
larch, 1867, amounted to £112,681, out of which
P 1,867 has been applied to dividend and reserve
fund, leaving an available balance of £60,814, from
Which the directors would have the satisfaction of
recommending
an increased dividend at the rate of
10e. per share, free of Income-tax.
Messrs. Price, Holyland, and Waterhouse, the
Liquidators of the Bank of Turkey, have issued
notice of a general meeting on the 21st instant,
Land also a report of their proceedings. They state
that there is a balance of cash in hand amounting
t 0 £5,865, but until the result of the suit in Chan-
cell is adjusted a further return cannot be made.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has been a moderate
amount of business entered into. Sugars have
fully maintained previous rates, while the public
lalea of tea have concluded without any material
range being established in values. Coffee has
remained at steady prices, while in tallow the ope-
rations have been on too limited a scale to cause
any material 'change in quotations.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
remain steady at 31 33, and the Consolidated
hortgage Bonds at 24f 25k.
The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great
"catern Railway for the third week in May
amounted to $117,668, against $117,308 in the
