The concert last evening, at Howard Hall, was
most undoubtedly the erandest affair of the kind
ever witnessed in this Providential and Purlanic
cty-we mean not only the singing and the singer,
that of course, was hey ond thought
OF before-but the whole afiair--the display of
white kids, white vests, bare headed ladies, and
something of profusion of all sorts of dresses.
Uppertendom was in its glory We shall not at
tempt TO speak critically, so far as the music is
concerned, for we should be "swamped" as de-
cdedIy some others have been In their crti-
cisms, which they have thought wonderfully pro-
founo but the effect produced we can say some
thing about. There was no class of enthusiasts,
mt and women were alike infected with the feel
ing Of hurrahism and the cheering was participates
in by both sexes. The ladies vindicated their
rights most thoroughly on the occasion. They
were equally lavish Of their cheers with the men;
and who could do otherwise The community
has been whipped up to the highest degree OF ex-
element for the last lew weeks, and must have
vent somew here, and would have had, If there had
been the most commoa singer in the country pre-
sent. But here something worth hearing
worth paying for-worth shouting and cheering.
As soon as the doors of Howard Hall were
opened, the crowd began 10 pour IN, and IN very
! short time every seat was filled, and many who
would gladly have had ticket ana seat, could
get nelher. All preliminary performances, al
though. perhaps never surpassed IN this country,
sank into insigniiiceRce with the impatient audi
ence, who were all anxiety for the appearance OF
the Queen Of SoRg In nome nj OF quiet, Jenny
appeared upon the stage. The storm OF applause

ever, we are sure she was real flesh and blood,
and not Of the most exquisite mould al that. Some

expansion Of the nostnls causes a crease above
each nostril, not unlike those in the arm of

that that machine, "fesrfully and won terl1lly

Let those stempt to describe It who fancy the IN

Through the whole evening, the Hall was q

human organism.
