HE MOZART CoNcERT.-on Thursday even
ing we had the pleasure of attending the Annual
Concert Of the Worcester Mozart Society at Me-
chanics Hall. From some cause or other, GER
tainly creditable to the musical taste OF this
city, the entertainment was not so generously
patronized as it should have been, but those who
were present enjoyed very superior and agreea-
BILE concert
The programme embraced choice selections
from Handel's Z" Messiah" and Haydn's "Crea
tion,' with other excellent pieces from the new
work of Mr.. Edward Hamilton, the " Sanet'ts;"
and in all respects the performances were sue
cessfuI, as we'll as, unquestionably, more finished
and satisfactory than any Chorus or Society ex-
hihitions in this city heretofore.
The solos by Mrs. Field, Mrs. Allen, Mr.. Ham
ilton and others, were all that could have been
desired, and received very great applause.
The accomplishments upon the piano and the
Grand Harmonium " by the Messrs. Allen,
were eminently successful. The lattef nstru-
ment is very superior reed organ from the man
uiactory of good workman, Mr.. A. W. Wilcox,
of this city, and one whose mechanical and mu
steal abilities, are becoming more and more
spicuous in this particular branch of instrument
taton.
This Harmonium contains taoelUe "draw stops"
embracing five setts of reeds, sub bass, and a
variety of combinations of great interest and val
ne 10 the performer, and as a whole, certainly
sHrpasses any reed instrument we have ever met
with in Worcester or elsewhere.
We hope to have the pleasure of soon hearing
it again in some similar entertainment. May we
not anticipate an early repetition of this concert
by our highly cultivated Worcester Mozart Soci-
ety-perhaps for the benefit of their accomplished
conductor, Mr.. Hamilton. B.

burg, the place Of his former residence. on Tues
day, and passed through town. yesterday morn
ing. on his return to his Western home. He is
quite sanguine that Kanzas will be free State at
any hazard, even if Lecompton passes both
houses ofCongress, as it may under patched up
compromise of the conference committee. The as
cendancy in the Legislature which the free State
men will have under the returns of votes in Re-
gent Calhouns hand, II he throws out the bogus
returns, as he promises to do, and issues cerhf-
Gates to the free State candidates, will be able
to neutralize Lecompton, and get up new con-
stitution that shall suit them. Still. this all
depends on the word of that rascal, Calhoun,
whose word is only good as long as it is for his
own or his party's interest to keep it so there
may be break down, and Lecompton may con-
troll their Legislature.
If the worst comes to worst Gov. Robinson
svys that the free State men of Kanzas are pre-.
pared to fight in defence of their rights, and will
never submit to the enforcement of Lecompton as
the organic law of the State.
