was rapturously encored, and established a feeling of gra-
tification in the audience which continued throughout the
Beethoven's recitative and air " Fidelio," was

evening

yen by Madame Knispel—not, we are sure, half so
well as she can sing it. It struck us as a strained effort
throughout, the singer having to compete for a hearance

with the rather too-obstrepoious accompaniment of :the
band. tinder the circumstances, however, the fair song-
stress acquitted herself wonderfully. She possesses a fine
voice, of great volume and richness, and well cultivated

and during the other pieces in which she took part,
showed what she could have done with this, her only solo.
Monsieur Sainton next played a concerto of his own com-
position, and certainly showed himself not the least
amongst the possessors of that difficult and beautiful in-
strument, the violin. We shall institute no comparison
between him and the few other eminent violinists, who
have of late years appeared before the British public.
is a style completely removed from the Paganini and Si-
vori school. Although equal to the most celebrated of
his contemporaries in finish of touch and elaboration,
there is less of the merely tricky in his playing, and more
of pure tone. His bowing is admirable, and reminds us
far snore of the old English school than of the modern,
which seems only to aim at surprising effects and the sur-
mounting of self-imposed difficulties. Miss Bassano's
recitative and aria, " La Clemenza di Tito," followed, and
was most chastely sung. Miss Bassano, possesses great
powers, and her execution of tilts and the other composi-
tions in which she appeared was much applauded. We
ought not to Omit the corni di bassetto accompaniment of
Master Sorge, which, except in one or two instances,
where he was thrown out by the singer, was very meri-
torious.

In a cantata, from Beethoven's Adelaide, Herr Pischek
fully justified the admiration with which he was listened
to in his duet with Knispell. The closing piece of this
part of the evening's entertainments were a trio in "

the gems were
the aria " Die Fanenwacht,' by Herr Pischek ; the duet
from Mozart, by Nladatne Knispel and Miss Bassano ;
and the national melodies of Bohemia, by Herr Pischek.
The latter was received with universal delight. On the
whole, we have seldom been present at a concert, even of
this society, which gave more general satisfaction than the
concert of Wednesday last.

The new pier at Beaumaris was opened last week.
On Saturday the owners of twenty-seven dogs were
fined five shillings each for allowing the animals to be at
large in the recent hot weather.
The fare to the beautiful ferry and village of Eastham
has been again reduced, and is now only threepence. The
new steamer, the Royal Tar, performed the distance be-
tween George's Pier and the ferry the other day—seven
miles—in sixteen minutes.

SUGAR.—A petition, which received 421 signatur
was forwarded from this town last week to Sir R. Peel
presentation. It prayed the house "to apply the sa
sound commercial principles to sugar which they have
plied to the importation of foreign grain and manuf
tures."

CRICKET.—A match was played on Saturday last,
tween the Olympus and Royal Rock Cricket Clubs,
the ground of the latter, situated in the Rock PL.
