pletely assured her of the receptive and warmly
impossible character of an American audience
and convinced her that her position as artistic
will be in the end as correctly appreciated here
as in the ripper and better cultivated centres o
European criticism Many points in her acting
and vocazation told with great effect, on her first
appearance, and give us an earnest OF what we
may expect, now that she feels sure of her audi
and is free to give herself entirely to the per
sonation of the character without needing the pres
ence of her listeners. We look forward with in.
terest to a second hearing that we may correct
or rectify our first impression, and record our de-
iberate judgment Of the rank due to PARoDI az a
queen OF the lyric drama.

character of Edg6Jdo seems Beneditti's exclusive

it sung; Salyi could not charm us out Of remem-

The next subscribers night has been trans
ferred from Friday to Saturday night when Paro
di will appear in Norma for the third time Next
week we shall probably hear her in a new role
but first let US have Norma again, according to her
conception of the character, so different from any
other Norma in America The power of her con-
trato notes in the rage, scorn and love Of the
third and fourth acts, must be heard to be fairly
understood.
JENNY LIMBS TwENTY.FoURTH CoNCERT.-To-
night the programme of Tuesday night will be
repeated, with slight modification. Judging
from present appearances, Trper Hall will be as
crowded as it was on that occasion, and that the
auditors will be equally delighted it is not difficult
to predict The last Concert was voted the best
by the four thousand persons who heard it, but
then She lasis always the best, and it is not easy
to decide on the positive superiority Of any one.
The Bird Song and the Echo Song" though
they by no means display Jenny Linds best quail.
tiles as an artist have yet become such tayontes
that the people have decided no Concert Is
complete without them.'
On w ednesday next the first Morning Concet
will be given in Tripler Hall. This Is new
feature in our amusements but not therefore I'M
welcome. It viii give an opportunity to hun
dreds whose age, health, or other circumstances
prevents them from attending in the evening.
Beside, many of Jenny Lind's songs are so ul oil
racy freshness and sunshine, that we imagine they
will be improved by daylight hearing This
Morning Concert is good idea, as, we doubt not
the public will also decide.
NEW METHOD OF TEACHING MUsIc.-A large
audience assembled in the Tabernacle last even
ing. to hear Nh VIM. b. Bradbury's opening lee
ture or lesson of his new Course, upon his inn
proved method of instruction in Music The house
was well filled at an early hour, and great interest
was manifested in the lucid and interesting illus
trations with which the lecture abounded In
teaching the rules of Music, Mr. Bradbury OBJ
served it is by no essential TO contine the
learner to abstruse and difficult problems at the
outset There is need of more systematlzed and
simplfed method one which shall obylate many
of the difficulties hitherto experienced and render
the acquisition Of the musical art an easy and
pleasant task. This appears to be attained under
the improved plan of Mr. Bradbury Having care
fully studied the methods OF successful and popu-
lar teachers in Europe in addition to large per
sonal experience. he has succeeded in perectlng
A system which must commend itself to genera
attention and favor. Commencing last evening
with few simple rules, the entire audIence-pro'
baby the largest singing class ever assembled at
one time in this country-were led By successive
steps to the very fair execution OF set tune
greatly to their own satisfaction and that OF their
teacher pro tenn. After last nights demonstration,
none can deny that we are really muslc,loyng
people We commend the new plan to careful
considerations An Elementary C.ass OF ladies' and
gentlemen will be organized on Friday evenings,

Conservatory of Mnsic, All Broadway; at which
we hope there will be large attendance
LECTURE on CoMMERcE-Col. j. LOCKE DOR

his friends in this City, will deliver Lecture on
Commerce in Clinton Hall on Saturday even.

nature as its title might indicate to some. Asone
Of the great elements Of modern civilization, it
claims the study of al classes and should interest
all. In this great center of commerce, Col. Dor
