The GERMAN MUSICAL SoIREE.-We take to
ourselves blame for not having spoken, of living
even passing notice, of the concert of the " Ger
man Musical Society,"" held at the City Hotel, on
Wednesday evening last
The large in that building was crowded to
its utmost capacity at early hour, vith the beau
ty intelligence and fashion of the city All present
appeared to be charmed with the taste, expression,
and harmony which was displayed in the execution
OF the most difficult passages of the pieces selected
for the entertainment. There were many touching
and thrilling passages that recalled to isthe
associations of early lfethe scenes of childb cod
when no clouds lowered around the horizon of our
existence, and when we looked upon th,s !, m as
honest, and pretty as angels = a.,
So laudable and praseworthy an objec cannot but
redeem the science in some msasure, from falling
into bad repute. Fostering pure and correct taste,
in this sociable and independent way, is perfectly
compatible with the system and progress of the
day, and must lead the minds of persons to think
more soberly and nationally of the science, when
brcught in juxta position with the hasty and imper-
feet representations, so perfectly mechanical in
their execution, when measured by the standard of
dollars and cents.
A repetition of this concert would, doubtless,
please hundreds that were denied that evening ow-
ing to the crowd.
