CA.MILLO SIVORI'S CONCERT.--This celebrated
violinist gave a morning concert on Friday at the Hanover .
square Rooms, and met with a most rapturous reception. He
never played more finely. The certainty-of his intonation
and the delicate finish of his execution seemed to electrify the
members of the orchestra as much as the company. He
executed the first movement of Paganini's concerto of tre-
mendous difficulty, the prayer from Mose, on the fourth
string, with variations, and the " Carnival de Venise." In
all these pieces he displayed varied powers, and was tremen-
dously cheered. There was an excellent orchestra, con-
ducted by Tolbecque. The vocalists Were Miss S. Novelle,
Miss E. Lucombe, Madlle. Frassi, and Mr. Weiss ;. but there
was nothing remarkable in the selection. Madlle. Frassi
sang fearfully out of tune, but that appears to be regarded as
a beauty in these days. Miss Day executed with some talent
Weber's concert Stuck, but it is a work which overtaxed her
powers.
