that Al evl ol this kind should net be

to prevent such exercises from being
daily taken as will bring every muscle OI

CoNcERT.-It gives us pleasure to announce
to the public, that Mr.. WILLIAMSON, of the
Providence and Boston Theatres, IN connexion
with Mr.. and Mrs. Papanti, contemplate CIV
ing a concert at Franklin Hall, on Tuesday
evening next. The celebrity which these
calists have acquired, cannot fail to call in a
full and fashionable audience, composed Of the
lovers Of sweet sounds" Mr.. williamson, is
known to most Of u.s. and his concerts have been too
often attended by the public to require from any
enconium. He stands among the frat vooalists Of
the continent, and wherever he displays his singular
powers, elicts the most decided and unqualified ap-
plause. We have had the pleasure of hearing the
meloIius strains Of Mrs. Papanti, several times in
the Of the winter, and only reiterate the
united expressions of the Boston public, when we
say, that she is decidedly superior, vocalist to
any in this part of the country Such a and
happy combination of talent, cannot fail 10 call IN
the lovers of melody.
