CONCERT AT CASTLE GARDRS.-The Grand Con
cert for the benefit Of the NewYork Volunteers took
place last night Tie performances all that could
have been anticipated The flute solo by Herr Retzel
executed with astonishing rapidity and brilancy,
and the variations the fagotto by his fellow Steyer
marker Etz quite enraptured tho audience by the rich
of the and capacity of the instrument Mad.
Otto encored in the beautiful song of Ny Father
land and Miss Northall in the celebrated Echo Song
whose angelic responses from the flute of Rietze
Bottesni and Ardit performed their exquisite duo in
their usual unsurpassed style and if the audience had
only half the appreciation of true musical talent which
we believe they have, they must have been fully salts
fed We must not omit mentioning the efficient support
of the orchestra, which played in unusual good style
