ST. MARTIN'S HALL.

A concert for the benefit of the widow and family of
the late Mr. Harroway, the accomplished composer of
some of our most popular songs, and a vocalist of consi-
derable repute, whose untimely decease has left them in
very unfortunate circumstances, was given last evening
at St. Martin's Hall, at which a number of professionals
of a high order of talent assisted. The entertainments
announced, we are happy to say, proved sufficiently at-
tractive to produce a considerable advantage to those
whom it was desired to benefit. The principal artistes
who devoted their talents to so praiseworthy an end
included Mies Poole, Miss Ransford, Miss Jeffreys,
Miss Marian Taylor, Madame Anna Thillon, Madame
Marietta; Mr. Ransford, Mr. G. Genge, Herr F.
Jonghmatis, Mr. Geo. Perren, Mr. G. Tedder, two of
the Messrs. Distin, and Master Haydn Corti. The fare
provided consisted of a happy selection of popular songs.
The names of the vocalists are alone sufficient to testify
to the character of the performance. The gratuitous
nature of the services rendered formed no drawback to
the enjoyment of the audience ; on the contrary, it
formed a generous stimulus to increased exertion, and
on no occasion that we remember (and it speaks highly
for the character of our leading vocalists) was more heart
thrown into the varied performances of the evening. it
would be invidious to select, for, with scarcely an excep-
tion, every song received an enthusiastic encore, and
each successive mark of approval by the audience was
' rewarded by a suitable addition to the beautiful selection
iu the programme, given in the artiste's beat style.
Those of the public who failed in being present on this
interesting occasion really lust a rich musical treat. Al-
though these successive velontary efforts contributed to
unit act the concert to an unusually late hour, the audi-
ence wore evidently higkly gratified, and we trust the
results wi 1 inat,,:riafly aid ib furthering the benevolent
object of the con cert.—A drcrt;scr.

ship lloatierges, Captain Sedgwicl:, left Liverpool on
Pet. 25 with 400 adults for Sydney, put into Queens-
