PHtGADELPhiA QUINTET CLUB.-As we an.
nounced in our last paper, the Philadelphia
Quintet Club, Herr l.. Engelke, leader will give
their First Grand Concert at Institute Hall, this
evening. The programme embraces some of the
best pieces in vogue in fashionable circles, and
an entertainment may be anticipated, of the most
| pleasing character. This club favored our cti-
zens with series Of Concerts during the Inst
season, which were we'll attended by tho elite
aud fashion Of Wilmington, and never failed to
elicit the warmest encomiums. Amateurs in the
musical profession will derive much pleasure and
instruction by attending. The arlistes, rank
high in their profession as performers, aud con-
aequently render the pieces in a correct and ar
tstic manner. The leader, Herr L. Engelke,
has few auperiors. They are, therefore, capable
OF imparting much valuable information to pu-
pills. There is no piece presented to which the
most tastidious eau take exception, and the
whole affair is calculated TO effect much good
We hope they will meet with such patronage ns
