MADAME BIsHoP's CoNcERr.-The con-
cert to be given this evening at new City Hall,
promises TO be one of rare excellence. or
Madame Bishop il seems almost superfiuous
TO speak. She is well entitled to the proud
distinction world renowned" In all the
principal cities of Europe she has sung with
unrivalled success. In Denmark, Sweden,
Russia, Austria, Hungary and Bavaria, she has
been .feted as seldom before a vocalist has
been feted. All tongues seem to he familiar
to her. Even in Kasan, the capital Of Tarta-
ry, she sang the national airs of the country
In the native language. In Copenhagen she
sang in private before the court of Denmark,
and was complimented with a superb diamond
brooch by the Queen. In st. Petersburgh she
appeared before the Imperial Court, and was
the recipient of splendid set of diamonds
from the Emperor Nicholas. Wherever she
appeared fresh honors attended her.
In lS47 she came to this country, aud after
highly successful tour through all our noted
cities, she went TO Mexico, thence to Califor-
mia. From there she went to Sydney. Mel
bourne, Adelaide, and then visited Valparaiso,
Lima and other cities on the Pacific coast
In fact, there is hardly portion of the habit
able globe where her sweet notes have not
been heard, and everywhere have they elicit
ed the same unbounded enthusiasm. In 1859
she returned to this country, and ever since
has been on the wing, delighting everybody
with her wonderful powers.
The programme for this evening is an at
tractise one. The grand aria by Gugeelimi,
"Gratius Agimus tibi," will be given, with
flute obligato. We are also to be treated TO a
number OF songs and ballads in the English
language, style OF music in which she excel,.
She will be assisted by a select corps of artists,
and an array of talent will be presented rarely
seen on our concert boards. We look for a
full house.
