ANNUAL SCHOOL CONCERT,
AT MESSRS. WRENSHALLS' MUSIC ACADEMY

This concert was performed by the young ladies of Messrs
Wrenshalls' Logierian Academy, on Thursday last, in the
presence of more than three honored of their friends, constitut-
ing a most elegant and fashionable meeting. The instruments
used in the concert (besides the organ for occasional purposes)
were one horizontal grand piano-forte, two upright grand, three
semigrand, and nine square ones, the combined effect of which
was extremely fine and powerful. At one moment a very young
pupil astonished and gratified her auditors by a brilliant capric-
cio. (yet in manuscript,) the composition of Mr. C. L. Wren-
shall, introducing the ever welcome air of "Ye banks and
braes," and at another period Mozart's overture to "Le Nozze
di Figaro," burst upon the ear, played by seventeen pair of busy
hands, in a bold presto style, which was truly operatic. Now,
we were charmed by a single but splendid effort in Kalkhren-
nor's variations on " Di Tanti Palpiti ;" then, by another most
successful display in Hummel's grand concerto in A minor ;
now, by a grand quintetto of Beethoven's, in which the beauty
and power of genuine music were impressively developed; then,
by a perfectly triumphant and, indeed, faultless performance of
a rondo duet by Ries; and last, not least, as a concerted piece,
Rossini's truly favourite overture to "Semiramide," given with
singularly beautiful effect of light and shade, simplicity, and
grandeur.
We have named Beethoven but once in this hasty sketch ;
hut his compositions afforded two fine treats on this occasion,
and the circumstance brings us to remark on Messrs. Wren-
shalls' success in contributing to the advantages which society
is reaping from the delightful subject of their study. It is not
many years ago that the genius of Beethoven was so little felt
or understood that even professors comparatively neglected his
productions for others apparently more attractive. Every day,
however, his merits are more and more appreciated, precisely
because music is increasingly understood and enjoyed; as in
the case before us, pupils who have had, in some instances, only
three years' instruction, and, in the most extraordinary, only
about four years' instruction, are enabled to see exalted beau-
ties in the science, which previously would have passed unob-
served; and here, therefore, we may see encouragement for
efforts which are rewired at every ste in a path alwa}s pro-
mising still further and more elevated results.—From a corro-
spondent.

FURTHER CONFIRMATION OF TUE UNFAILING VIRTUE'S OF
OLDRIDGE°S BALM OF COLUMBIA.
London, January 23, 1836.
GENTLCMEN,-1 recrret that I bave'not earlier acknowledged
to you the great benefit which I have derived from the use of
your Bales of Columbia which, in my own case, I h, ye happily
found to possess all the virtues you ascribe to it; I t first, and
by mere accident, purchased a Bottle from one o -our Agents
merely as a trial, and, until lately, was uses% of its justly
famed and great celebrity, or of your being -,ideut, and hal-
ing u principal establishment in England, serwise I should
have felt pleasure, and a sense of duty to you and the public in
snaking this acknowledgment before. About four years ago I
found my Hair rapidly falling off, nut occasioned by any bodily
illness, and to such an extent was my head really bald that I
was compelled to wear a wig; about three months afterwards I
began to use your Balm, and after the lapse of nine mouths,
and the application of only three 3s. bottles, I was enabled
to leave off the wig, finding my hair quite restored to its pristine
strength, which it has retained ever since.—l am, Gentlemen,
yours very obliged, BE,NJAMIN
To Messrs.' C. and A. Oldridge,, 31, Little Newport-street,

OLDRIDGE'S BALM causes Whiskers and Eyebrows to grow,
prevents the hair from turning grey, and on the first application
produces a beautiful curl. frees the hair from scurf, and stops it
from falling off. Abundance of Certificates from gentlemen of
the first respectability are shown by the Proprietors, C. and A.
