These sacred concerti, 'itidih haVelieen

attraction, from their fortunate posses4on Of Cars.'

CATALANI'S voice have been tvidom exhibited ' with •
finer success than during these performances. Mies;
SALMON'S tones are of the sweetest magic : it is a pity
they have not more volume. • S. WESLEY on the or-
, gan is so well known, that to praise him, it is suffi-
cient to name him. ' A considerable disappointment
occurred last night, through the indisposition, is was
stated, of CATALAN!, though it appears that she was
the principal singer in a Concert at Carlton HOuse
last night. We cannot- bat deprecate such modes of
deception; if the Public had been informed, that
her presence was necessary at Carlton-House, they
Would have, with their usual liberality, pet up with
, the apology. Messrs. ASHLEY, no doubt, had been
.ittiposed upon by CATaLint, with the excuse of sore

.PUENS was substituted for her, and she sing The
Soldier Tired, and Angels ever bright and fair, ie
the most interesting manner, mid was loudly' encortd.
Though at Drury-lane there has been less to boast
'of in the vocal department, yet justice to the exer-
I
tions of Mr. DICKONS claims that tribute of appro-I
bation to her musical skill, in which all who love
the science most cheerfully agree. The Oratorio of
BEETHOVEN (the Mount of Olives), was a gratify-
ing introduction into this country of an eminently
scientific composition, fraught with solemnity and
dignity : the airs are beautiful, and the choruses
grand. The SCHUNKES, on the French horns,
eve displayed the powers of wind instruments with
almost inimitable excellence. The readings of Miss
`MITI' have afforded an agreeable and an edifying
diversification of the entertainments to the sober
and respectable pert of the community, who are
among the most numerous frequenters of such con.
awls. Some of her passages from IVlturoo., wheaa.
we consider a very difilcult poet for public recitation,
were given extremely well. We take her to be the
best solemn public reader, after Mrs. SIDDONS,'
whom she probably imitates a little too much. We
do not commend, in these performances, the intro-
duction of songs, totally inconsistent with the pre.
fussed object; and particularly sell, bringing out
a Musical boy in a, song which is peculiarly BRA.
