The Concert.

Last evening we atteud ID the Concert of
NJ and Madame Canderbeeck and Mr., Squires,
at the City Hall, and were sorry to see so few
of our citizens present. The exercises of the
evening fully sustained the tattering enconi-
ums which this company have universally re-
ceived from the press, and we were sorry to
see them meet with so little encouragement
here Jim Crow concerts and theatrical eXhi-
billions have always been well patronized IN
our city, then surely performances like that of
last evening should not lack encouragement
from our community. We do not doubt but
that there is sufficient taste here to appreciate
that which is really worthy of encouragement,
all it wants is waking up. Another Concert,
by the same performers, will be given this
evening, and we hope that they will have
full house, receive the patronage they merit.
Let every one, who can afford the expense not
only go himself but take his family, and we
will guarantee he will come away better salts
fled than from any of the half-priced !" Jim
Crow" concerts ever witnessed.
We would attempt description of the per-
formances, but the power of language is not
competent to picture the thrilling effect and in
fuence which can be produced by an accom-
plished performer. We were never more graf
flied than with the performances of this COM
pany.

A Lost Treat +!

The Concert given last evening at the City
HALL by Mons and Madame Canderbeeck, and
Mr.. Squires, was one of the highest order, and
l regret to say there was but few present.
The execution upon the violin by Mons. c..
was truly wonderful-at times so soft as to be
scarcely heard above the most delicate tones
of the harp then bursting forth in brilliant
flight of the most soul-stirring strains, were
almost indispensable,
The performances upon that delightful in
strumcnt, the harp, were also most excellent,
showing great skill in execution, and it is sell
dom that we have an opportunity to listen to
an accomplished harpist.
Mr.. Squires has fine tenor voice, flexible
and we'll cultivated His singing is marked
with feeling and refined taste They give an
other entertainment this evening, and I sin.
cerely hope they will be greeted by a crowded
house-they certainly deserve it.

Letter from MIR. Clay.

The following is an extract of letter from
Mr.. Clay, of the 5th inst, to a friend in
Virginia, which, says the Alexandria Gazette
he presumes to publish, unauthorized though
it be by its distinguished author 81 have
this moment perused an able pamphlet from
the pen of Mr.. Gallatin, in which, withou
any concert between us, find that he takes
similar positions to those which had previous
ly occupied. He fortifes them by striking
array of facts and powerful arguments. l
am not surprised at the imputation OF un-
worthy motives to me for the delivery OF the
speech. That has been so long my fortune,
that should have been surprised if it had
not been made. viii they charge Mr.. Gal

~ The " PORTLAND DAILY ADVERTISER"
of Saturday, Jan lst., comes to us in an en-
larged form, and in new and neat dress. By
it we hear that JOSEPH NJ. GERRIsH, Esq,
the senior publisher has withdrawn from the
establishment, and Mr.. REUBEN ORDwAY has
taken his place, under the title of WIN. E.
EDWARDS Co. 1t says
Mr.. GERRIsH retires from the business in
consequence mainly, of inability from in
trinity, to devote that attention to it which its
interests. seemed to require. and which when
favored with better health, he was accustomed
to give to business entrusted to him"
While we regret the causes which has cor
strained him to take this step, we would offer
our congratulations for the success which has
rewarded his efforts in the cause from which
he now retires, and word in tribute to the
respect and esteem which we hold for him.
Mr.. G.. has held several stations of public trust,
and has had many important individual in
terests entrusted to his care, and never has the
first instance occurred in which there was the
least breach of trust or deviation from the
strict principles of honesty and integrity
His counsels have always been sought after,
and he has always given an attentive ear and
good advice to upright and we'll disposed effort.
His name will always be dear to those who
know him best, and his example and influence
pointed to as one which we should strive to
emulate. May his remaining years be free from
the cares and anxieties of this troublous world.
