BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE.—Last evening
the eighth soirée of the season was given at the Institute, and
was attended by a large and fashionable assemblage of up-
wards of 300 ladies and gentlemen. The spacious and ele-
gant suite of apartments were filled at an early hour, and
the music of the evening was rich, varied, and agreeable.
Among the instrumentalists present were Mr. Kiallmark,
Miss Weller, Mr. Mublenfeldt, Mr. Kreutzer, Mr. Haussmann,
and Mr. Kuhnone, a young violinist, recently arrived from
Holland, who made his first appearance here, and produced
most favourable impression. Among the vocalists were
Mr. and Mrs. C. Horn, Mademoiselle Burette, and the
Misses Williams, with Mr. Machin, Signor Brizzi, and
Signor blaliano, a fine tenor singer, recently from Italy, who
paid his first visit here on this occasion. In the course of
the evening Mr. Buckingham read a beautiful monody on
the death of the poet Campbell, the composition of one of
the members, Dr. W. Beattie, his intimate friend and exe-
cutor. At the close of the proceedings it was announced
that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge had ho-
noured the Association by becoming one of its members, and
hoped to pay it an early visit. The Rev. Dr. Wolff. who
joined the Institute previous to his setting out for Bokhara,
was expected during the evening to give a narrative of the
principal events of his journey, but the lateness of the hour
rendered it necessary to defer this pleasure till the next
occasion of these meetings. Captain Grover laid on the
table his recently published volume, entitled " The Bokhara
Victims." Among the company were Mr. and Mrs. William
Howitt, and Mr. Spencer Hall, the mesmerist, whose success-
ful cure of Miss Martineau has excited so much interest, and
led to so much controversy. Altogether, the evening was
one of the most agreeable of the season. The first volume of
the transactions of the Society was said to be in a state of
great forwardness at press, and it was hoped that it would be
speedily ready for publication in a quarto volume, illustrated
with numerous engravings, and containing full reports of the
lectures, conversazioni, soirees, and discussions which have
taken place among the members, thus presenting to the pub-
lic the best possible index by which to judge of the nature,
objects, and character of this new Literary Association.
