CAMILLE SrvoRr's LAST CoNcERr-The concert of
Signor Sivor last evening was par excellence the grand
musical festival of the season. and indeed taking into
consideration the general superiority of talent presented
and enthusiasm manifested, we may safely place it as
without parallel in the musical annals of country
An assembly collected within the walls of the i'm
mense building by far more numerous than upon any
like occasion and by the hero of the evening triumph
mastery, was gained, wonderful as 1t was grand The
overtures from the operas Of Pirate" and La File
du Regiment" were exceedingly well executed and did
honor to the leader, Signor Rapetti Madame Abamo-
wcz sanghe "Casta Dira and the melody "Savourneen
Deelsh in exquisite manner the latter deserv.
edly encored. The duetto Giorno DOror" was q
treat seldom offered in city. Signora Pco sang mag
ni6cently her archness, the high finish and versa
tility Of her voice, than usually appa
rent, and the Rondo I" Vi Conseii Amor di Figlia'
was encored. The first piece played by signor sivor
part of a concerto composed by himself, displayed
most striking effects and throughout vein ofbroad,
expressive, flowing melody the close Of particularly
most excellent example Of climaxand legiti
mate brancy. To the qualities OF fascination fexbili
ty, grandeur and certainty Signor Sivor may vol lay
supreme claim when executing his own music Beeho-
vens Variations and Scherzo Of the Kreutxer Sonata
performed by Mr.. Jules Fonana and Sivori delici
treat it was the gem of the evening. The third
piece III Campanello" excited the feeling upon
. previous Yconcert 1t given with charm and a
grace of execution than which nothing heard
more pure admirable. 1t tumuluously encored,
and the sweet fantasies on the "Ne Corr substitu
ted We have spoken Of this piece before but seemed
as we heard last evening" to be graceful and deli
cate than in the magical tracery around it
by the mighty genius of the artist The emily difficulty
in listening to it is that the refinement of ingenuity
becomes like perfumes, the first breath of whchs deli
cous, almost oppressive from excess of sweetness At
its conclusion, Sgnor Sivori again called be-
fore the audience to receive their testimonies of
admiration and delight The last piece the pro-
gramme was the 81 Carnival Of Venice" and though
have listened often to attempts at the theme, did
realize its expressive beauties till given by the bow
Of Svori. 1t may always be considered of the
heard last evening repete with lustrous richness of
tone bedecked with expressveness and feeling for beau
ty and contrast raised the fee ngs of all present
pitch OF enthusiastic excitement such before
witnessed Three several times was Signor Sivor
PEELED by the vocierous cheering to return has thanks
and the thunders of applause the waving OF handker
Chiefs the cries OF commentator, completed q
which must have been seen to be appreciated Even
the ladies' present evinced by their action, the effect
which genius produce upon the mind. For eight
ten minutes the building seemed to shake with the pro-
longed expressions of delight from the thousands
Taptured by the spell OF master spirit In short time
sgnor Sivor proc eeds Boston, and there in every
other place he may visit he will by his simplicity of de-
meanor his unspproached and talent his
unpretcnding merit meet with the same triumphant
as in this city.
