CITY INTELLIGENCE


Public Sct0ol CoaceIt at the ,4Ssem5ig Rooms,
We attended the concert of the fist classes OF
the Western Schools last evening, at the AS
sam5ly Rooms, and to say that we were well
pleased, would be but faint word to convey
our gratitication---we were delighted beyond
oar most sanguine expectations, and so We are
satisfied was every one of the large audience
present. MIR. Wilder deserves, and will re-
ceivc the thanks of the parents Of the pupils,
as we'll as the citizens generally, for the hirh
proficiency Of the scholars in so short space
Of time. The music was excellent. The re-
citation of the American Eagle by a Young
master, was well done. The Rotations of the
American Flag, the American Indians and the
African Chief, by Masters Tudor, Thomas and
Welch, were received with great satisfaction
bnt we will not discriminate, as all that was
done was well done. During the course of the
evening basket of flowers was presented to
Mr.. Wilder by the fair hands Of one of the
Young lady pupils. Mr.. w. returned his thanks
for the unexpected compliment in neat
speech. The audience left at the early hour of
9 o'clock, highly delighted with the evenings
