ARGYLL ROOMS.

This delightful place of fashionable resort was yesterday
fully attended, and in point of variety and excellence was
infinitely superior to any concert that has yet taken place
there during the season. Madame MAGIBRAN (herself a
host) was among the number of the vocal performers, and
sang, together with Mademoiselle SONTAG, the grand scena
from Semiramide, " Ebben ato ferisci." A performer,
named ROSNER, gave a scena from Der Freischatz in the
original German, in a style that indicates considerable pro-
mise. He was warmly and deservedly applauded. This gen-
tleman's voice is a tenor of great compass, especially in its
depth. The other vocal performers were Mademoiselle
BLASIS, and Signors VEI LUTI, CURIONI, PELLEGRINI,
and TORRI. In the evening Mr. LINLEY took hie annual
benefit concert, which was also unusually attractive.
