CINCINNATI, Jan. "a, ls49.
| Gentlemen the fortnight that has
passed since last wrote you. many things have
occurred here Of interest in our social circles,
which might bear relating to you and your read.
ers. II Is ga cardinal principle" with me, how.
ever, that a newspaper correspondent should
never make his letters more than column in
length, and may, with propriety, curtail even
Twenty-Five per cent. Of this proportion. And
within space thus circumscribed, could no,
possibly give anything like picture of the So
cial occurrences Of the fortnight.
A few ofthem, however, | must SNAKE a
dash at" And first, let me say to you, and the
lovers Of sacred music in your city, that the
concert Of selections from the best of the living
oratorios, given by Madame Amblamowicz with
the assistance Of the choir Of the Ninth street
Baptist Church, and several other amateurs,
drew together a very large number of persons,
and gave to all great satisfaction. Madame was
in her best voice and her highest spirits, and
sang her solos with remarkable beauty. The
voice Of an accomplished and loveable lady Of
Louisville, (who happened to be here on visit,
and good naturally gave her assistance) was
heard most fayorably in a Duet with Madame
Amblamowicz, and also in the choruses. This
lady understands very well how to manage her
truly excellent voice, and In some passages of
the duett to which / refer, in the opinion of
many good judges, fairly disputed the suprema-
cy Of the gifted and cultivated Amblamowicz.
In the choruses were sixty-two vocaists and
instrumentalists, and they were well performed
Since this entertainment, Madame A. has Civ
en- the first Of series Of three ballad concerts,
to full audience. She gives the second one
next Monday evening, and the third few eve
nings thereafter. So that, al you see, we are
not likely here to become discordant for the
want Of q sufficient supply of "the harmony Of
sweet sounds" But in addition TO all this, we
are in about fortnight, (or lessl to have anoth-
er sacred concert, TO be given by Professor Vic
tor Williams, (the devoted leader Of the Baptist
choir who is TO have the assistance Of Madame
Amblamowicz, and a number Of very excellent
amateurs. Would that the fair lady Of your
city, TO whom have referred above, could again
be with us.

At the close Of her series OF Ballad entertain

Of the Jewels of our crown-and IL We consent
TO part with her for little time, you must treat
her chivalrously, and see that something good
comes Of her visit, or we shall be compelled TO
lay an embargo upon her movements in the fu
ture.
The Typographical Society Of this city cele-
brated the birthday Of Benjamin Franklin, with
a magnificent supper, at which occurred some
Of the most genuine flows Of soul and flashes
Of wit that have ever beheld. Since then. the
of new and splendid Restaurant
here-THE AMERIcAS-has given a supper TO
the editors Of the city, which is spoken Of as a
most sumptuous affair. Some people seem TO
have knack Of being in good luck.
Last night the National Reformsrs of the
city, gave their ffth banquet in College Hail.
About 1900 persons were present, to enjoy first
the speaking, then the bountiful and excellent
refreshments. then the dance.
Great preparations are making, | am told for
a grand dinner on Washington's birthday
General Taylor it is supposed, will be the eity's
guest at that time, and he will be aconspicuous
object at the dinner.
Our last railroad meeting resolved, unani-
mOusly. to petition the Legislature for authority
on the part Of the city to subscribe 81 ,O0O, 900
to the stock Of the Cincinnati and ST. Louis
Railroad Company. The matter Is 10 be sub
mitted to a vote Of the people Of the city.-but
will carry.
In literature we have nothing new but the
first issue Of the Western Quarterly Review,
which suppose has ere this reached Louisville.
We are blessed now with most delightful
winter weather.
