4 numerous audience responded to the kind
hearted appeal of Mr.. SrANSGURy, and attend,
el the Concert of the blind Musician Mr. SrEy-
GER, on Frida.t evening last. We venture to
say that the performance, instrumental and vo-
"a, gave almost universal satisfaction aud de-
light. The music from the violin was excel.
icntly pcriormed-espccialIy the difficult over
ture from " la Norma. and the limitations OF
the Harp. The limitations were received witt
the warmcst applause and were deseryedy and
heartily cHcored. The skill that Mr., Spencer
has acquired in playing that most musical of all
musical instruments, the violin. is eXtraorlua
ry, considering the peculiar Disadvantages UNI,
der which he has iaborcd and well worthy tn,
decided appreciation it elected. Mr.. Spencer,
voice is OF a quite limited compass, bat, within
that compass, smooth and sweet, and most o
his songs were very well sung.
We must take occasion to say, however tha
Mr. Spencer has fallen into the error of most O
his craft, and permits himself in his comic
songs, to cater toa popular taste that in our
Judgment, should be reformed rather than pam
percd. 1t is always poor compliment to an an
dencc to assume that they will be pleased by
matters that are in open violation of the ordna
ry rules of decorum, and that illusions tina
would not be tolerated in the drawing-room vii
be applauded ina public hall. Music shoult
never be made the vehicle for coarse filings a
religion in any way, nor for semi-obscene tests
and we were exceedingly sorry that Mr.. Spen
Ger, whose physical infirmty suggests the
kindest feeling, and the most delicate sensbli
ty,shoud have been led to suppose it to be for hi,
pecuniary advantage to weave into his other
wise interesting and admirable performances
illusions AMI ,'t'' inics of the character ohec
ted to. ltaP'1.- ., Us that he, of all applicants
for popular encourag cement and patronage, shout,
aim at the hearts of his audience,-and no les
so in his comic than in his sentimental songs
We make these remarks with the kinkest re
gard for Mr. Spencer, and because be has n
occasion whaterer to resort to any unworth,
means to draw large audiences, and to sen,
them away gratiticd and delighted, lie is emf
nently worthy of the patronage he seeks, if h,
will nirays presume himself, at his Concerts
to be in the presence OF ladies and gentlemen.

Popular Lectures on Anatomy and Physi
OIOgy.

Dr. NELSON, of Montreal, is giving a course
of lectures, in Strongs' Hall, on human and
comparative Anatomy aud Physiology, sciences
far too little understood by very many who are
regarded as educated men. We are informed
that Dr. NELSON'S Lecture are interesting and
instructive, being well adapted to impart knowl-
edge of these sciences to the pronscuous and
unprofcssional audiences that attend them
The Doctor has an extensive collection of paint
ngs drawings and preparations, Illustrative OF
Anatomy and Physiology, which materially aid
in fixing upon the mind the valuable iniorma-
ton that may be acquired by listening to his
Lectures. We heartily commend the avowed
purpose ard scope of such attempts at popular'-
sing important sciences that have been too
long enormously held as of slight conse-
qlence to any but gentlemen of the Medical
and Surgical professions.
DR.. NELSON, is a son of the distinguished DR.
WoLFRED NELSON of Montreal, whose eminent
professional attachments have given him an en-
viable reputation both at home and abroad, anc
we have every reason to believe that he is, HIM
self, in a high degree qualified to do honor &c
the name he bears. -Four lectures of his course
