MR. CARTE'S SUBSCRIPTION
CONCERT.

This course of Concerts, the third and last of which Os
given last night, has been an experimental attempt on the part
of Mr. Carte, to ascertain how far the harmonic science would
succeed among the politer portion of the inhabitants of South-
wark. This was the first time that concerts have been intro'
(Need into the Borough, and from the moment of their enter-
prising adoption, we augured success as any thing but a fal;
lacy. No 'loss than the eye to sculpture, or any other of ~
senses to the perception of those peculiar properties for
which they were created, the human ear, with its'natural
predispositions towards th 3 melodies of vibration, evinces
an equal fondness, or rather a far greater aptitude
for its correlative art, than any of the proximate
ences. In whatsoever departments of the known world
k,
the melodies of sound or the fascinations of minstrels)
awaken, in that place surely will there be two or three
together, with hearts open to pleasure and ears to delight, 1,9
some one degree or other ; so that if Mr. Carte be SIP (:)1111::
master, he has nevertheless drawn about him,
the same means and appliances as the . Thracl:
several hundreds, who willingly listen to his songs
end entertainments ; and if Miss Birch or Miss Bursfis
be no absolute St. Cecilias, though we are far from asseri?
the non-existence of such sistership, yet their warblingassal4:
few Londoners to throng to hear them, and they are su;,,
co-equally with both of those gifted musicians of antiquit4;
crowd an area of space with full and attentive audiences. „,
gratifying, in fact, to note, that excellent City patrons, ft,
merous attendances, and adequate subscriptions, -have so S
attended the exertions of Mr. Carte, that ,he satisfactorily gather_
nified his intention to continue these concerts to which he .ys

claim as founder, and in furtherance of which he defer/
every assistance.

Yesterday evening's performance was as usual well-select.a
and spirited. After Guibilei had taken part in a terzeit°se,
aria, and acquitted himself in his customarily creditable sloi
Mr. Phillips sang " The Soul's errand." This antiqueote
psychological scrap, the composition of Sir VI u
,„(1
Raleigh, was sung with as much troubadour pride ,7,,,
gallantry, as if the El Dorado Knight had himself `",-t
chanting it to the chime of Queen Elizabeth's virginals' Del
prelndial air played on the flute by Mr. Carte from IN-°o et
"Di tanti palpiti " was fine and sweet, and the sub
variations he performed, the delicate tremblings and suPP,;:,,
agitations of the singer, were choicely elicited from his 1
ment. Miss Birch, during the course of the evening, ga.,o
rondo and two ballads in good key, and in her alto flasl7,,
flung out her voice with spirit. In the harp and horn duet ide
tween Mr. Jarrett and Mdlle. d'Epourrin, it appeared as
consonance were wanting in some parts, and as if her
in the quick twittings of its treble, and its run of thin Wi,er
harmonies, ill consorted with the mellow fu'ness of If,
partner's horn ; this was the more perceptible when thelltej
chords of the harp were s' ruck, and the two instruments
into each other consentingly and well. Miss Bursfielarj
formed a fantasia on the piano-forte with great excellence
touch, and a certain dulcet liquidity seemed to attach to
well-played tones. Mr. Blagrove's solo on the violin eslir,
the tact and precision of the master. Shortly after which%oo
Wilson closed the evening with his exquisitely sweet
ballad of" Tak yer auld cloak aboot ye."
