new Institutioh of this kind hat been retently
introduced to the Fashionable World, under the
conduft of joHN ttic Ft, Esq. and HzuesY GRZ.
VILLR, Esq. It should be mentioned, to the ho.
flour of these Gentlemen, that the undertaking is
intended as an agreeable amusement for the higher
circles, at a time of the year when all regular Con-
certs are over, so that it will not interfere with
the interests of Professors' or the Theatres. On
the contrary, though the Performers in general are
to be Amateurs, they mean to avail themselves of
the assistance of Professors. The whole of the
Musical Department is to be under the direekion of
Mr. SPENCER, who, we understand, is himself to
be at the organ, and to conduCt the Concert. There
are to be six Concerts and Assemblies during this
season, and they cotranence on Monday the z Ist
inst. and are to be repeated every succeeding Mon.
day, till the completion of the number. The whole
is to be followed with a cold Supper and plain wines.
Glees after Supper. All Foreign Ministers, and
a certain number of Musical Professors, are to be
Honorary Members. The Meetings are to be held
at the New Rooms, Hanover. square, and consider-
ing the very respedable persons who are concerned
in the undertaking, it pronaises to become one of
the most agreeable and elegant amusements of the
kind that ever enjoyed the attention of the higher
circles. The following is a list of the Lady Di.
