| New YORK VOCAL SocIETY.-ln speaking OF the
Concert of this Society in our yesterdays paper
we were only able to report its great success; to-
day with pleasure devote time and space TO a
few more remarksi we opine this Society IS
destined to form an important era in the cultIva-

music in this city. In former numbers of this pa

pally the glorious compositions of the old masters
such as Wybie, fiesta, Orlando Gibbons, Mercu-
of the Heroes" by T. Cooke and that father of
gees, When winds breath soft" by the immortal
| Weber, the gem of the evening, and most rap
turously encored, which 1t richly deserved-lt was
beautifully sung so also was " Down IN flowing
vale" by fiesta, the delighted audience de-
mandlng 1t four times many even requiring
II even fifth time we gave the words OF this
quaint but charming composition IN former paper
| We now give an equally beautiful one by q. Glib
bons;-
| THE silver swan, who living had no note
When death approached, unlocked her silent throat.
| Leaning her breast against the reedy shore,
| Thus sang her first and last and sang
| Farewell all joys-oh death, come end my woes!
More geese than swans live fools than wise"
The concert was a delightful one, which all who
| were present will testify TO, and those who wcro
absent had better enroll their names, the society
| is an exclusive one and only admits members TO
the concerts. In conclusion, peculiar credit il due
to Roster, A. Phillips and Geo. Loder, Tor their
| excellent conducuon, and also to Mrs. Hardwick,
who sang IN manner to convince every one that
| she enjoyed the rich banquet OF music performed.
