GRAND CONCERT AT GUILDHALL.
'Yesterday a Grand Concert, on a scale of splendour
hitherto unsurpassed, or indeed equalled in the City of
London, wa, given at Guildhall, for the benefit of the
Spanish and Italian Refugees. The insufficient provision
which the Spanish and Italian Refugees in this country
',obtain, even as the means of necessary subsistence,
rendered their condition in the winter season one of
severe and calamitous distress. To mitigate the pressure
of this calamity, it was proposed to give a Concert for
the benefit of these men, 4. whose unfortunate fate," to
'use the languagenof Mr. CANNING, " no individual
ability, virtue, or exertion, could avert." The design
was patronised by his Royal Highness the Duke of
Sussxx, the LORD MAYOR, the Duke of WELLINGTON,
the Duke of NORFOLK, the Marquis of LANSDOWN, Mr.
BROUGHAM, and many distinguished Members of both
Buses of Parliament. The Concert was also patronised
by many Ladies of eminent rank and influence in fashion-
able life. The must distinguished musical and vocal
performers gave their gratuitous aid. The band was on
a spore extended scale than has been ever heard in the
City of London, including some of the most celebrated'
-instrumental performers; and the Noblemen and Gen-
tlemen of the Royal Academy of Music granted the
assistance of some of the pupils of the Academy. The
young Gentlemen of his Majesty's Chapel Royal, St.
aul's Cathedral, and Westminster Abbey, assisted the

tivorus. Several other Musical Societies kindly ennui-

tnted the services of their respective members; and, in
shortb every exertion was made by the Committee, and
every disposition manifested by all patties engaged in
this worthy undertaking, to render it suitable to the
beneficent imposes for which the Concert was designed.
The result was such as might be expected—an at-
tendance brilliant and fashionable, and numerous as the

great room at Guildhall could contain. Twelve hundred
tickets, we understand, were originally issued, to which
au addition of three hundred was made; yet there was
no inconvenience or pressure. The strictest order and
regularity. as well as the most delightful music and
perfect enjoyment, prevailed, from the commencement
of the Concert at twelve, until its close at four in the

afternoon. The performance consisted of two parts; the
first part consisted of several airs and grand choruses
from HANDZIA " Messiah," and HAYDN'S " Creation;"

theiecond part was composed of pieces selected from
the most celebrated modern composers. Of the merits
of the performance of both these parts, those who were
present testified their sense by loud and frequent plau-
dits—those who were not, may have a notion of them
conveyed to their imaginations by the recommendation
which the names of the eminent performers carry with
them. Of this eminent band Madame PASTA glitters in

the van. In a duetto (the first time of its performance),
44 Presso un ruscello," with Signor CURIONI, and still
more in the area, "11 soave e ben conttato" Widone Ab-
baadonotta), she asserted the Almendancy ot her genius
ever all living competitors for the dominion of "sweet
sounds." If a nest of nightingales had been in her throat,
as has been fancifully supposed,we might have the same
sweetness, it is true; but we should lack the feeling,
intelligence, and powers ehich Madame PASTA COM.
lines in splendid and harmonious union. Mr. BARHAM
in "Comfort ye my people," was fully equal to his own
fame, and higher praise we know not how to bestow.
In a cantata by Perusal, commencing " See from the
silent Grove Alexis flies," an opportunity was afforded
for the display of his abilities, in a different style of
song; and an opportunity was also afforded (not the least
gratifying part of the performance)tor an accompaniment
oa the violoncello, by Mr. LINDLEY, which displayed
light, sweet, and variable sounds, such as we had before
thought that instrument was not capable of producing.
Miss PATON was not present ; her absence, we under-
stand, was occasioned by indisposition. Mad. Patton
and Miss WILKINSON, and Mademoiselle BRADIEILLA.
however, contributed their effective talents to the per-
formance, which made the ooinpany less sensibly feel
an absence which, wherever song and music are at-
tractions, must be a regretted one. Mr. NlcnoLsoN
played a fantasia on the flute, in which he displayed
wonderful execution on that most agreeable instrtunent.
Messrs. CURIONI, PELLEORINI, PHILLIPS. and SPAG-
FoLavrt, respectively contributed their efficient aid to-
wards rendering the Concert (as we have already said)
one of the most delightful musical entertainments ever
exhibited in the City of London. The number of per-
formers exceeded two hundred. The whole perform-
ance was under the direction of Sir GEORGE SMART.
Mr. Fresueini, who kindly officiated as Honorary
Secretary, greatly contributed, by his politeness and
exertions, to the satisfactory arrangements of the day.
Among the persons of distinctions present, we noticed
the Duke and Duchess of Lamina, the Marquis of
LAMSDOWN, Lord Nuearn, and several Members of
both Houses of Parliament. The amount which the
Concert yielded, if we may form a judgment from the
number of tickets disposed of. was about 2,0001.
Lord COCHRANE, whose arrival at Portsmouth, in
the Unicorn schooner, we announced yesterday, is
direct from Navarin. The sudden and unexpected
return of. Isis Lordship has naturally produced much
surprise. A letter from himself was received in town
yesterday, but it affords no explanation. His Lordship
merely states that he landed at Portsmouth on Monday,
but was afterwards obliged to go into quarantine. He
brings intelligence from Greece of so late a date as the
16th ult. AEgyptian force in the Morea was then
about 21, en, a part of whom had been embarked
for Alexandria, with the Greek women and children.
The Morea has beer. rendered nearly a desert by the
ravages of the Egyptian troops, and the country gene-
rally is in a most deplorable condition. Report says,
that the reasonif his Lordship's departure from Greece
was that the battle of Navarin had rendered lis ser-
vices useless : but it is more generally considered the t
he became thoroughly disgusted with Greece, its out-
enemas facsiens, and its unprincipled Chiefs.
MASQUEAns.—The Grand Carnival and Masquerade
at the Argyle Rooms en Monday night, was well at-
tended, and rendered very amusing by some masks,
who sustained their characters with great whim and
vivacity. Two Paul Prys were, however, very obtru-
sive, whose wit,cossisted in annoying the company with
their umbrellas, until an excellent pantaloon and clown
deprived them ot the nuisance. A third Paul Pry ob-
truded himself with so much industry in quaffing
CHAIM'S WRIGHT'S sparkling champagne, that hi; legs
soon forgot their office, and his umbrella its humour.
He was at length taken under the care of a Moll Fiss-
ion, who was worthy of such a companion. There was
a beautiful gipsey mingled with the great throng. who
occasionally removed her mask to bewitch the gazers,
and who captivated a merry Bardolph, who would
cheerfully have coined his nose to contribute to her
comforts. There were present many noisy sailors, ex-
tremely vociferous when half seas over. A pleasant
vocal group afforded much amusement. Two or three
pretty damsels solicited the company to buy thou
brooms; and a Dennis Bulgraddery complained sadly
Cr the want of customers till two o'clock, when masks
wore still arriving in numbers, sad there was every apt
pentanes of a joyous morning.
