MIST marked posness. We observed Number in full

so. the arrival OF Madame Cint Damo.eau and Mons
.,ot whom they received with great respect and corday
and waited upon to the of the great Hail. dis
n:ion very just and touching, which had been
lerd 10 any one before.
The Musical Soirec opened with piece upon the
Psao with accompaniment Of double quarteie,
ceut composition by Spohr, executed with the well known
rce and skill Of Nh Tinm Immediately after appeared

After having rendered her Justice may b. permitted

Finally she concluded the Musical Soree with an ad

and touching melody They two angel voices de-

But let reco!lect that Mr Artot claims us that
which is due TO him. Beside the chef d'puvre of the
luo which have just mentioned he played three other
pieces all Of ns composition consisted of
variations upon National HYMN OF Russia preceded By an
introduction and grand fantasies, upon Souvenirs Of
Bem the other upon the last of Lucia de Hammer

The great genues and compositors of instrumental music
