the institution those only who give evidence OF sincere
and resoute purpose reform. The inmates are fur

efforts are made to End them permanent situations IN
respectable families The house occupied by the ins;i
tuition is in the Tenth avenue between Nineteenth and
Twentieth sts OF cannot be expected hatthe
labor Of the inmates will yield income sufficient to
deray the expenses Of the ns tuition and hence the ne
cessy Of appealing for funds to the beneyoence oil the
public Efforts we understand about to be made to
place the institution upon permanent foundation and
we hope they may prove entirely successful Prominent
among those who enlisted in this work OF charity
and mercy are whose honor to their
sex and country and whose cooperation win ensure the
confidence OF the public Perhaps will be neither in
delicate nor invidious If we state that Miss sEDGwroK

GAcRED CoNcFRr-We understand that the
Italian Opera Company propose to give grand Sacred
Concert at the Tabernacle the latter part OF next week
bsfore the commencement OF the short season OF eight
cen nights which they have announced. On this occa
sion the whole strength of the Corps will be brought
out and those who have had no opportunity OF hearing
them at Palmos may then be granhed We are sure
that 1t will be good Concert, in many respects such
one az has witnessed in this country it would
not be bad idea for the managers to give Sacred
Concert every Saturday
THE APoLLosEoNs-W learn from the Utica
Gazette that subscription has been opened in that city
for series of four Concerts to be given at intervals OF
two months by these talented children. The proceeds
of these Concerts to be devoted to quidaing ex
penses incurred by the friends Of these musicians IN
their recent endeavors procure for them the requisite
instruments for their future practice. The visit OF the
ApolIoneons to the East during the last Summer was
in pecunary sense unproductivethe truth Is, that
when they returned home considerable sum Of money
had been sunk Why cannot a subscription be got up
IN this City too for series OF Concerts
