NJ AND NINE Leafs CoNcERr.-The musical
soire Of these talented artists, came last evening"
nd, though 1t was not attended by q very numerous
audience, account of the extremely bad weather,
which injured also all the place; OF amusement Of
bright genius and pure method with which they
gifted. Mime. Leati, whose pretty little figure, and
whose psIants eyes are as lovely as the white pearls
under her rosy lps-possesses undoubtedly q very
sweet sopcno Of great compass and has been taught
in an excellent school, which brought to our mind
Mines. Damoreau and Laborde. She manages her
voice with and ability, and often displays an
and Jforitpyes which attracted last night, and
will all future occasions for her the approba
ton Of all the publicly expressed by
and plaudts. Madame Leat deserved great credit for
the aras which she sang, among which we remarked
that of B.lfe's I'm a Merry Zingara," and nights
these fine pieces a peculiar loneliness, which was
much admired M. Leati, whose voice is that of
baritone, and splendid one, assure our readers
made also great impression upon his hearers, and
rewarded with much applause in the aria Of Verdi
from Due Foscari and with his better half the
English duet Of Emanuel The Syren and the Friar"
This gentleman will also become great favorite in
our country wherever he goes. We must not for
get in this notice. to give due praise to Mr. Burke who
sounds; and to Mr. Hoffman, the young pianist, whose
playing is, indeed extremely remarkable. As for Mr.
Ifmm, he accomplished wonders, as usual, being OBJ
bged, account of the pianoforte, which half
tone too low to the diapason to transpose nearly all
the music which he accompanied. In short, the con-
cert Of NJ and Madame Leati was great affair and we
hope shall soon have another chance to he ar these
artists in city We understand that they
both engaged in Philadelphia for the concert Of the
Musical Fund, which will take place on Tuesday night
