PARoDfs CoScERr.-As preliminary to the
grand concert performances which are 10 take
place on Wednesday and Thursday nights,
we publish the following notice from Phila-
delphia paper, to show the light in which the
artists mentioned are regarded in that city ::
"Parodrs Second Concert was, as usual, at
tended by all that is musical and fashionable
in the City: 1t was too, as usual, u great
soiree Tor all lovers of music. At this late
hour We have no time to enter into particulars.
Inc great prima donna herself was in admi-
rabie voice; she was encored in the "Gypsey
Song" and in Malibran's Rataplan, It6erins
was indeed great. He created an enthusiasm
romanza from Don Sebastian, brought an en-
core, with "Spirito Gentill for substitute.
The concerted music gives q rank to these
Concerts never attained before The trio from
"Attilla " was repeated, the tsnor surprising
himself There is, too, n harmony Of school
and style, between ParOdi and himself, which
render their singing together something rarely
pany, and sustains his part nobly. Slrakosch
was encored. He must have been prepared
for it, after his delicious variations of . Old
Folks at Home As for Julien he PLAYED
with his accustomed passion and feeling; his
witches Dance" was something bewildering;
IL was encored, when he substituted melody
OF his own, full of Music's true spirit. On
FRIDAY, Parodi sings "Mourir pour Patrie,"
the revolutionary hymn Of the revolution
which drove Louis Philippe from Paris in I848.
We know Parodfs enthusiasm when she
sings patriotic sOngs-it will be, on Friday,
We know, communicated quickly to the au-
dience"
The MARKET.-The amount of provisions
has been kept up in tho principal market
during the past week, and the prices also.
The constant and plentiful supply does not
materially affect the prices, the demand on
each market daybeing equal to it. Although
anumber of market pests, old and young, have
been arrested and punished, the dealers are
frequently disturbed by others of the same
class. The efforts Of the officers may yet be
successful in breaking up the gang.
INCENDIARIsM.-About nine O'Clock, last
night, the frame stable at the lumber ward of
J. an Riswick, near the Centre Market, was
fired by some incendiary. The flames were
discovered by Mr.. 3. Frazier, and extin-
guished by Elm and Mr.. Stops, of the Aux.
iilary Guard, before material damage was
done.

prietor of the saloon on d street, between
Eighth and Ninth streets, exhibited to us to-
day beautiful silver cup, made by Lewis,
which he offers as prize to the person making
tho best games at ten pins, at his alley, be.
