Bishop, of 'Lo, hear the gentle Lark" being the
first time of her singing it here also, an Italian
air and Scotch ballad, with other morceaux.-
Although she has, by her brilliant impersouifica-

high in the roll of fame, it is in the concert room
where her admirable vocalization will be heard to
the greatest advantage. As amiable in private
life as she is great as an artist Miss Pyne, like

the good and the talented, and the breath of ca
iumny has never suled her fair fame
Mr.. Harrison, the tenor, will give in his well
known songs of I'VE may be happy yet" &c. Also,
the exquisite duets with Miss l.. Pyne from Don
Pasquale, of "Tornarhi dir" and by Bishop "when
thy bosom heaves sigh" Mr.. Stretton and Mr.
HorHcastc will also contribute their share of ta-
