CONCERT OF THE MENDEISsoHN SOCIETY,"
A large and brilliant audience assembled in the
Musical Fund Hall, on Saturday evening last,
on the occasion of the concert of the Men

wards of two hundred and fifty voices, and the
effect of the various choruses given during the
evening was sublime in the extreme.

formed with the greatest spirit and effect, ana

ence.
The splendid duo at the beg inning of it,, "In
His Hands are all the Corners of the Earth"
was sung with the deepest fervor and feeling

highest degree, and the difficulties of the part
were surmounted with all the ease and grace of

his execution were prominent features in the
production of the work, and his effort generally
was such as to win the unqualified appreciation
OF all who heard IL.
The chorus of the Fantasia was also effectively
rendered, and the solos were likewise COM
Mr.. Jean Louis, the Director of the Society, led
on the occasion, and acquitted himself grace
fully and in every way satisfactorily.
