original and wonderful Oizayd ever seen in this city.
| ossIAS's BARDs.-This company of AMERICAN
singers gave their first concert in Washington last
evening to very large and fashionable audience.
The Bards cannot or ought not to be compared
with other concert companies, from the fact that
their style is original, and springs from the heart
Their voices are uncommonly rich and melodous
their words are heard distinctly as though spoken
by an elocutionist, and their harmony is so pure,
ringing, and soulabsorbing that, as a lady remark
ed at our side, One could almost imagine them
selves listening to the choirs of heavenl"
We had often heard of Mr.. Dodge as comedian,
but his comic is of so much higher tone than that
of any other vocalist before the public, that the
audience were taken by storm, and the ladies could
not refrain from joining with the gentlemen in ma
king marked demonstrations of approval at the
many good hits" that came forth spontaneously in
the course Of the evening.
If the comic was good, the sentiment, pathos,
and telling sarcasm was no less so, for not few
found themselves in tears numbero of times before
the close of the concert
They sing again this evening, when we expect
to SEQ the largest audience that has ever been
crowded into Carusi's Saloon.
NATIONAL THEArRE.-The Roussets are drawing
full and admiring houses at the National Beauty
and grace are the regning divinites Of the place,
and crowds of Mademoiselle Carone's admirers fill
the place.
