The CONCERT LAST NIGHT.-Albeit
the old rule that "a prophet is not with
out honor save in his own country" gen.
orally holds good, we venture the asser-
ton that Messrs. Wheat and Farmer
have not been greeted throughout their
recent brilliant musical detour abroad
with larger or more refined and appre-
ciative auditory than that brought to-
gether at their home on the occasion of
their farewell concert, at the New Mem
phis last evening. The parquette was
crowded even to density in seat and aisle,
and more fashionable assemblage could
not have been selected from among the
lovers and patrons of music of the city
The occasion was handsome and f.
ting tribute to home talent, as truthfully
represented in the persons of the two
young Tennesseeans whom Memphis
may feel pride in claiming as her OWL.
OF the rendition of the programme,
which was one of unusual variety and
excellent selection, we are not disposed
to attempt anything like a criticism.
Mr.. Wheat's wonderful performances
land we speak with reference to the age
and advantages of the performer) on the
piano, together with Mr.. Farmers sweet
efforts upon the q lutte were par excellence
the features of the evening, and thrilled
and enchanted all hearers one moment
with their pathos, and the next, with
their harmony and mellowness, now
bursting into the wild and fantastic
realms of their own creation, and now
commingling like the silvery tricklings of
woodland waters with the low Eolean
murmurings of zephyrs, faint with the
burthen of their own sweetness. Mrs.
Heating was in excellent voice, and fully
sustained her claim to the laurels she
already wears, If, indeed, she did not win
other and still greener ones. The Con-
cordia Gesangverein, in both efforts
undertaken by them, the one the
Hymn to JOY by Gregor, and the
other, Mendelssohn's "Huntsman's Fare.
WE'LL" acquitted themselves with much
credit, and were the recipients Of many
plaudits. Messrs. Tomlinson, Hollen-
berg and Levy all appeared TO advan-
tage in their respective essays upon the
aute, violin and piano. The perform
ance was in every particular a success,
and the proceeds to be applied to q
worthy charity we're very handsome.
