CoNcEnr SINGERS OF 1881" We have heard
Mrs. knyrett whose pure taste and feeling deserved
Tor their utterance an organ more perfectly trained and
developed than her sweet voice under the narrow
dispensation which it owes its schooling We have
heard Mrs. Wood, in the concert room, turning her
brilliant voice and redunden execution TO most dlsa-
greeable account-a lively example Of the want OF re-
inement and intelligence which would teach that ex.
preston lies deeper than sudden gaspngs and screams
and dawling lnartculate whispers We have heard
Mrs. II. Il. Bishop, delicate and expressive, but in
her information painfully uncertain andin her artcula
ton confused and inefcient-and Miss Clara Novel
To- with that loveiest and freshest of young voices,
and style, sound and excellent far as goes, fail
ing however wholly, in the greet essential OF arcula-
ton and showing yet few symptoms OF the
warmth and passion which future years may supply.
Descending the musical scale TO the coStrsAo-that
expressive of voices till within the last twenty
for the sickly and unnatural male alses but now in
high cultv and favor; we have heard Miss Masson
whose voice naturally yelled and ungrateful has been
brought into complete subsection by strong and re-
fined intellect; and Mrs. A. Shaw, gifted with mag
ncent organ, guided also by feeling and cultivation,
who needs only few years of practice and expert
unce to take rank among the great singers not ct
England only but of Europe To these must be added
third name of PROMISE that of Miss Halves. Among
eur tenors we may specify Mr.. Bennett, finished and
delicate acllst, though available only in particular
style Of music, and Mr.. Hobbs;-among our BASES
Mr.. Phillips excellent in every point in his hard
mounting articuaton-and Mr.. Balfe, (thanks TO his
Italian ranng) if less emphatic more brilliant. more
flexible and far swceter. To assist and stimulate
these, our native talents TO their utmost exeron we
have had this, yea the first singers in Europe. We
have had Pasta "he queen of terrors and Schroeder
Devrient, the queen of tears" Qess happy however
in the orchestra than the stage) and the brilliant
company of the opera, whom it is needless to particu
Caradori and Mademoiselle Blasts. Further to emu
merae the host of less eminent vocalists native and
foreign, who have nightly for the last two months
filled this great city, "full of song a nighngales
nest" would require pains and patience not at our
disposal.
GENERAL EVANS AND THE SPANISH QUESTION
General Evans has now quilted the legion, and in a
farewell address has gwen asummary of its history,
to which we know of parallel but that Of the cele
brated King of France, who
With fifty thousand men
Marched up the hill, and then marched down again.
In article entitled The School of Design-Art
Uaion-the superiority of the French over the Eng
lish is fully proved.
The lovers of periodical literature have before them
a rich harvest.
