Mrs. IsAAcS' FIRST CoNoERr.-Notwith-
standing the cloudy, damp, and unpleasant
evening, a large and very fashionable
audience assembled early, last night, at
Brainard's Hall, to hear the first OF Mrs.
Isaacs' grand concerts. The programme
embraced selections by Beethoven, ROssini,
Meyerbeer, Verdi, Donizetti, Bach and
Kirchnar. The opening duo, Rossinis
" ReCatta, d" is an exquisite production, and
was sung by Misses White and Perkins in a
very admirable manner. 1t was somewhat
lacking, however, in spirit, and was hardly
well sustained. Mr.. Perabo's first solo was
a sonata from Beethoven. It is one Of the
most delicate of the wonderful harmonies
| of that old master, and was decidedly the
best of the piano solos. The 1.-TWO Pre-
ludes," by Kirchnar, was faultlessly rem
dered, and the Concert Polka" by Wal
lace, was full of spirit and dash. .Partits,'
by Bach, was received by the auditors with
the greatest enthusiasm and was heartily
cncorcd, to which Mr.. Perabo responded by
playing a brilliant .fnGle, from the Con-
certo of Norbert by ~Bargmuller. The
entire performance of this really great artist
elected the warmest praise and commenda-
ton, and his efforts gave renewed evidence
Of his powerful and refined execution.
The leading features of the concert were
the solos of Misses White and Perkins, all
of which were admirably rendered and rap
turiously and Persistently encored. The
first, T'ano' q CaUatiaa by Centemeri, was
brilliantly sung by Miss White, with the
'Last Rose of Summer" as an encore. She
also rendered La Zingara, a gem from Don
~izetta, with splendid effect, responding to
the hearty encore by a quaint Scotch ballad,
full to the brim of melody.
Miss Whites voice is a pure soprano,
clear and wonderfully sweet, betraying the
most careful training and cultivation. Her
grace Of manner was especially remarked,
and, combined with her accomplishments as
a vocalist will make her a great favorite in
the concert room. Miss Perkins first solo
was the Guards Waltz - encored by the
beautiful Scotch ballad, down the Burn,
Davy, Love-"
Robert, Toi que j'aiac, by Meeyerbeer, a
piece of most difficult execution, was also
tr~iumphantly rendered by her, the exquis-
itely simple and touching little song, Mag
gies' Secret" being given as an encore. Miss
Perkins has a very rich and flexible Soprano
voice of wonderful compass and volume.
Her manner ia at once simple and assured,
aud her successful debut gives her an envi-
able position among our resident vocalists.
The closing trio was a beautiful and spirited
selection in which all the parts were ex-
ceedingly well performed.
Mrs. Isascs' accompaniment were played
in the most perfect taste and precision.
The concert tonight promises an attractive
programme, embracing four piano solos by
Mr.. Perabo and two solos from each of the
Ie~butaates of last evening.
EXPORTING MOyEy WITH A VENGEANCE.-A
case of bold rashness was before Justice
Lane, of Detroit, for examination a few days
since, in which the plotter fairly and fatally
entrapped himself. He put forth his threats
in the unblushing manner detailed below,
but q dispatch was sent instead of the money
he demanded, and he was arrested and
taken to Detroit and put under s. goo bonds
to stand trial. The following is his letter.

FENIAY PRISONERS IN CANADA.-Frcm a
private letter, received by q friend, direct
from Canada, we make the following ex-
tracts in regard to the reception of Fenian
prisoners in Canada
At the town of Braptford, Situated on the
Buffalo & Goderich division OF the Grand
Trunk Railroad, seventy-ive miles west of
Buffalo, the most intense excitement pre-
vailed during Saturday, the I'd of June, the
volunteers of that district being held in
readiness to protect the place IN case of
danger, it having been telegraphed late in
the evening of Saturday that a train from
Fort Erie would arrive with a number of
Fenian prisoners. The fire bells were rung
at IL o'clock at night, calling out the people
to prevent any mobbing being carried on.
The train arrived at 2 a. m. with f~fty-nine
Fenians on board, crowds Of citizens, both
ladies and gentlemen coming out to see
them. The police force and volunteers were
in attendance and the greatest excitement
was created. Upon the "~Finnegans" being
| produced to view, cries of hang them, "
! lynch them" "shoot them down." were
raised by the mob that had gathered, but
they were protected by the volunteers, and
escorted to and safely lodged in the county
jail. They will be tried by the authorities
and if convicted, which is doubtful, they
will certainly be executed.
The Kirby House, one of the finest hotels
in Canada, but which has, within the past
year, been unoccupied, has been converted
IN a hospital, for the reception Of wounded
volunteers.
The enthusiasm OF the citizens is intense,
and the determination to hang the Fenians
if they can possibly be convicted is fully
expressed.
