SURSCRII'7'ION BALLS, HANOVER SQUARE
ROOMS.—The Laudgravine of Hesse Homberg has signified
to Captain Marshall her Royal Highness's intention to be at
the Hanover-square Subscription Ball to-morrow (Friday
evening). A very erroneous, and, to the projectors, a very
unfair and prejudicial statement has been circulated, that
these Subscription Balls have been got up in opposition (as it
is called) to Almack's. Nothing can be more unfounded than
such an impression. The Proprietors have studiously selected
for these Balls different evenings from those on which the As-
semblies of Almack's take place, in the hope of receiving a
portion of patronage from the visitors of those distinguished
meetings, in asdition to the support of their own patrons and
subscribers. The names of the Ladies Patronesses must he
the best contradiction to any vague insinuations as to these
Balls being opposed to Almac's.

THE ANCIENT CONCERTS.

FIFTH CONCERT._

This Concert took place last night under the direction of
Lord Burghersh, who had provided an excellent selection of
Music on the occasion, if we except a lamentably dull and ri-
diculous Melange, miscalled a " Concerto," for the violin, by
Martini. To our great gratification, and to the surprise of the
musical amateurs who were present, the names of Beethoven,
Mozart, Righini, and Paisello, severally appeared in the pro-
gramme. The " Benedictus," by Beethoven, is from his Mass
in C ( No. 1), and is a truly beautiful composition for four soli
voices ; with an accompanying chorus, abounding with exqui-
site melodies and unexpected harmonies, delightfully disposed
for the orchestra. Beethoven wrote only two Masses : the
last, to the disgrace of this Society, has never yet been publicly
performed. We trust Lord Burghersh will use his interest
and exertions in bringing these magnificent compositions for-
ward. Mdlle. Grisi sang the scena of " Elvira," from the
" Juan" of Mozart, the accompaniments to which were but in-
differently executed : it is a composition of great merit, and
rarely falls into good hands. With Grisi, the singing of the
music of Mozart appears a task which the lady is anxious to
get through. There is this great and wide difference between
Malibran and Grisi : the former appears to receive a degree of
inspiration from the magnificent ideas of a Mozart or Beethoven,
infinitely beyond what the vocalizations of a Donizetti or aßossini
are capable of exciting ; whilst the latter seems to think of, and
wish for, no more than the momentary applause of her auditors.
The allegro movement to the Cantata in E flat, sung by Mrs.
Bishop, wanted rehearsal, and was inefficiently performed.
Phillips's execution of " Lascia Amor" is preferable to that of
Lablache, to whom this composition was assigned this evening.
Why did not this accomplished foreigner sing " Va sbranando"
of Spohr ? or, are the audiences which form the Philharmonic
and Ancient Concerts so widely dissimilar in taste as that the
music which astonishes and electrifies the one, would unin-
terest or disgust the other? Miss Kemble (the sister to Mrs.
Butler) made her first appearance in public last night. She
possesses a voice of considerable compass, equal and just in-
tonation, clear and distinct enunciation, and, although not
boasting great power, yet she has that peculiar quality of tone
which is best calculated to penetrate through a spacious build-
ing. The songs selected for her debilt were not calculated to
exhibit her powers to advantage; nor the extent of her musical
reading ; but her performance evinced sound judgment and
good tuition. The " Lament of the Israelites," from the
Saul of Handel, ought to have been performed sempre pia-
nissimo. We trust Mr. Knyvett will not again permit such
an outrage upon one of Handel's most pathetic compositions.•
The chorus from Athalia—

" Cheer her, 0 Baal ! with thy power serene,
And in thy votary protect the Queen !"
was surely not selected in compliment to her Majesty, who
graciously honoured the Concert with her presence. We cer-
tainly objected to join in the invocation to Baal upon this
occasion, and the singers by their efforts did not much inte-
rest us in the scene. What led to the transposition from the
original key to I 3 flat, we know not ; the effect was, each part
was sung out of tune. In future, we hope the concertos of
Martini will yield to the symphonies of Romberg, Haydn, or
Mozart. Is there not one of the 84 quartetts of Haydn suf-
ficiently old-fashioned to be introduced to the director's no-
tice? Either through ignorance, incompetence, or mis-
management, these delightful compositions are overlooked at
the present time by all parties. Lord Burghersh has our
thanks, and the thanks of the subscribers, for the great im-
provements which have taken place in the selection of last
night. We trust there will be no departure from his example
in the Concerts which arc yet to come. The Concert was ho.
noured by the attendance of her Majesty and a numerous suite.
The room was crowded by a brilliant and fashionable audience,
and the Concert was not over till a late hour.

MR. O'CONNELL and LORD ALVANLEY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
" Upper Grosvenor-street, Tuesday, May 12.
" Sir,--Mr. O'Connell having closed his correspondence
with me, I beg you will be good enough to insert his answer
to my letter, requiring of him the envelope of the one which I
put into the post on the 22d of April, and which he affirms to
have borne the post-mark of the 27th, and to have been re-
ceived by him on the 29th.

GRAND PUBLIC ENTRY OF EARL

MULGRAVE;

( Abridged from the Dublin Morning Register of Tuesday.)
Since the royal visit no public spectacle has ever been wit-
nessed in this country of so engrossing and splendid a charac-
ter as the public entry of his Excellency the Earl of Mulgrave
into the city yesterday. The auspicious circumstances under
which his Excellency assumes the reins of the Irish Govern-
ment, and the high personal attributes which have through life
distinguished this excellent and patriotic Nobleman, combined
to render his reception by the people perhaps the proudest and
most gratifying occurrence obis life. Such demonstrations of
popular affection and esteem, the acclamations of an admiring
and grateful people, are not, however, novel to his Excellency.
His departure from the shores of Jamaica was the occasion of
a similar manifestation of public feeling, and was one of the
most affecting and striking incidents of modern times. The
whole slave population of that island attended him to the
beach, attesting, by their tears, the extent of the loss which
they sustained in the person of his Lordship. No, wonder,
then, that the arrival of his Excellency among us should be
hailed with such unbounded joy. Upon both personal and
public grounds, both as the advocate of the oppressed slave,
and as the representative of the first Government which has
shown a disposition to do justice to Ireland, he was entitled to
the warm and rapturous reception which he yesterday received.
At an early hour the different trades assembled at the place
of rendezvous, in Merrion-square, and having formed them-
selves into compact and well-arranged bodies, they moved on
towards Ball's-bridge, preceded by their respective banners
and bands of music. In a carriage and four were the Vice_
Presidents and Secretary of the Trades' Union, the latter
bearing a splendid silk banner, having inscribed in gold letters
upon a white silk ground the words " In Mulgrave we con-
fide." Its reverse bore, upon green silk, the motto, " Ireland
as she ought to be." There were numerous other banners
bearing upon them the arms of the different trades, and s a
rious patriotic devices.
The infantry regiments in garrison were drawn out of thei r
barracks, and lined the different streets through which the
procession was to pass as far as the Northumberland-road. To
that point also proceeded the Lord Mayor, the High Sheriffs,
and other municipal authorities, in their carriages of state,
where they awaited his Excellency's arrival. Nothing could
exceed the enthusiasm which every where manifested itself.
. An immense concourse of persons assembled upon the pier
at Kingstown, anxiously expecting the arrival of their Es-
cellencies. At eleven o'clock, the Lightning steamer was dis-
cerned at a distance making her way slowly into the harbour,
and in about three quarters of an hour she arrived at the
jetty, amid the enthusiastic cheers of the multitude. Their
Excellencies were received, on their landing, by the Duke of
Leinster, the Earl of Leitrim, Lord Cloncurry, Lord Killeen,
Sir John Burke, Sir William Gosset, Captain Phipps, his
Excellency's brother, and several other noblemen and
gentlemen. Having received the congratulations of the per-
sons around him, and having repeatedly acknowledged the
cheers of the crowd, by taking off his hat and bowing, Lord
Mulgrave mounted his horse and rode to town, accompanied be
his staff. Lady Mulgrave and Lady Cloncurry occupied one of
the vice-regal carriages, after which came the equipage of the
Duchess of Leinster, and upwards of two hundred private car-
riages. The cavalcade proceeded slowly towards town, and as
it passed through Kingstown, Williamstown, and Booterstown,
immense crowds of pedestrians poured out from these places,
and swelled its numbers. On reaching Merrion, where the
Trades were stationed, his Excellency was received with the
greatest enthusiasm. Mr. ,Marcus Costello rode up and wel-
comed his Excellency to Ireland on the part of that body. The
The Trades then fell into the procession. On arriving at the
New Bridge, Mr. Marcus Costello, who had ridden in advance
of the party, appeared with a bottle of wine and a glass in his
hand, and as soon as he perceived his Excellency riding up, he
addresSed the people, saying, " that this was too important
and eventful a day to be allowed to pass without doing some
act which would not only compliment Lord Mulgrave, but
would commemorate his auspicious and glorious entry into
Dublin as Lord Lieutenant. He thought that the people, being
the source of all power, had as good a right to give a name to
a public work which they themselves had erected, as a beggarly
and bigotted corporation." This short speech was received
with great cheering and laughter, and Mr. Costello, after
drinking to his excellency's health, performed the baptismal
ceremonial on the bridge in due form, giving to it the name of
the ;Mulgrave Bridge. After the momentary delay occasioned
by this incident, the cavalcade moved on until it arrived at
Northumberland Road, where his Excellency was received by
the Lord Mayor and High Sheriffs. His Lordship dismounted,
and spoke for a few minutes to these functionaries. He then
resumed his seat on horseback, and the procession moved
slowly onward, until it entered town, when the cheering be-
came tremendous, and the ladies waved their handkerchief 4
from the windows as it passed. College-green was crowded
by a dense mass of human beings, and it gave the military a
good deal of trouble to prevent the line from being broken.
Much amusement was created by the appearance of a white
wand, with a banner, in the hand of King William, who wss
thus innocently doomed to welcome a man who is riot in much
odour with the worshippers of his memory. At length the
procession reached the Castle Yard, and Lord Mulgrave
dis-
mouuted at the grand entrance, amid the most tremendous
cheers from the crowd. On entering the Castle, his Lord-
ship was received by the Gentleman Usher, and conducted
to the Presence Chamber, where their Excellencies the Lords
Justices received him sitting under the canopy as Chief Gover-
nors. The Earl's Chief Secretary attended his Lordship to
the Presence Chamber, hearing his commission.
1 After a short conference, their Excellencies- the Lords
in the'Coiincil Chamber, and in readiness to administer ',lle
oaths to his Lordship in the usual manner; and a procession
