ST. MARTIN'S HALL.

A concert for the benefit of the widow and family of
the late Mr. Harro way, 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 k 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 Miss Poole, Miss Ransford, Miss Jeffreys,
Miss Marian Taylor, Madame Anna Thillon, Madame
Marietta; Mr. Ransford, Mr. G. Genet), Herr F.
Jonghmans, Mr. Geo. Perren, Mr. G. Tedder, two of
the Messrs. Distin, and Master Haydn Celli. 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
forineu a generous stimulus to increased exertion, and
I 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
in the programme, given in the artiste's best style.
Those of the public who failed in being present on this
interesting occasion really lost a rich musical treat. Al-
though these successive voluntary efforts contributed to
protract the concert to an unusually late hour, the audi-
ence were evidently highly gratified, and we trust the
results wi I materially aid in furthering the benevolent
object of the concert.—Advertiser.
