MOSCIIELES' CONCERT.—Long before the
usual hour, the Argyll Rooms were besieged, and in a few
moments after the doors were thrown open, the saloon,
boxes, passages, anti-rooms, and orchestra, were crowded.
During the progress of the performance, all eyes were fre-
quently turned towards the door, sear the orchestra ; at
length about half-past nine o'clock the Comet (SONTAG)
appeared ; the plaudits were deafening, and the fair song-
stress evidently felt the generous and hearty welcome which
she received. She sung a scena and air, composed expressly
for her by MERCALIANTE, which drew forth repeated
" bravos" from the audience. Maine. SONTAG was dressed
in black, and her demeanour was modest and unassuming.
There was a host of talent besides. Though it was lite,
every one looked anxiously for MoscHELEs' performance of
a fantasia, in which would be introduced Sir WALTER
Scores favourite Celtic war song, " Pibroch o' Donald
Dhu," nor was this the less interesting, since the Great
Unknown WAR known to be in the room ; and thus while the
ear was employed in attending to Mosontats, the eye was
turned towards the " Author of Waverley."
