night in Exeter Hall, With an orchestra of
700 and Costa leader, listened enchanted
to Judas Meccabeus. Parepa,, new pri-
ma donna, made us forget Madame Clara
NOyeIlo, so well she sang "on Mighty
Wings" &c; and the great English Tenor
was in splendid voice, defying almost the
trumpets in "Sound an Alarm Sims
Reeves ia, no wonder, great tNyorite, and
happy is the concert giyer that can add
his name to the programme. On Monday
nights we have popular Concerts" at st.
James Hall, where, under NJ. Benedicts
Hoie leadership, are produced by FIRST rate
artists, the works of Beethoven, MOz"r.,
Rozzini, &c. On Monday the 9Th inst,
dreamed away u couple Of hours in most
delicious music, and if the great Beeth-
oven could have heard Arabella Code
lard, queen of Pianists, play his fla
nous Sonatns, even his critical taste
would have said" well done p
Since the famous Pole, ss'sWienawski'
left us, we have had an importation from
Germauy-Herr Bicker-who plays his
violin extremely well, and on this occasion
left nothing to desire. The Septet with
which the Concert closed was magnificent
~ played. Coming down from this clas-
steal performance of the old masters,
will end musical gossip by saying the bills
are up announcing the farewell concerts of
the Christy Troupe, previously TO their re-
turn to America!
Things Religious. We are not wholly
given up to amusements in this city, and
thank God, good people are making ex-
traordinary efforts to reach the thousands
of heathens ut their very doors. Special
services by Churchmen and DisSenters are
held in the Cathedral, and Hall, and The
Gtre also, and on Sunday night, ! saw the
"Standard" in Shoreditch, very low part
in the east of London, packed with such
motley crowd of young and old Arabs oil
the streets as never set eyes on before
From my snug little box, looked, not I'M

fore me, had souls immortaFto be saved or
loStl The youthful preacher, whose first
tones hushed that noisy throng, was the
Rev. II. u. Northrop, of New Haven, Conn.
The message of salvation was earnestly
and most eloquently given and trust was
n SAVIOR of life to many poor soul that
had never heard of Jesus. Rev. and lion.
Baptist Noel, Mr.. Brock, agd others, have
held two midnight meetings and instituted
means for the recovery, from vice, OF "our
poor sisters in the streets" What spec
tncle! Two hundred of them assembled,
by invitations printed and left in cafes,
casinos and other places OF resort, and
quietly partook of tea and coffee IN the
large Restaurant of ST. James Hall. The
good men who strove in this way to reach
and save the outcast, must have felt en-
couraged in their labor of love, by the
pentent sobs and awakened emotion of
most of the company present. Scores of
them have embraced the offer of a home,
not Il prison. and many went from the Hall
Mt once to begin life of reformation and
'sin no more" Many are the little rills
of influence going out into the lanes and
by-ways of this vast city, great too in its
wickedness, that are destined, we hope, to
make Justice run down our streets as a
river, and righteousness as an Overlooking
stream" \. 3. K.
