AsSDsLssoHN CoNCEnr.-A rather small
but music lovisg crowd assembled last night
ct the Opera House, to listen to the Ace pro-
granms offered BY the Society. Az there

Der who would otherwise have been At the
Opera Houss, but oil who wsrs there will
agree that it was one Of the best conducted
concerts the society have ever givsn. The
overture, Rossinrs L 'ftaliana ID Algieri
was given with fine effect, by the orchestra
under the leadership Of Mr.. J. Strasser,
with the exception that the cornst gave
some of the passages rather more fercs than
was in keeping with the subdusd tsne Of
the Overture. Thst splendid chorus, "All
hsner and pvsise," from Masssuslio, and
the ever aecepAbls "Norna Consth," was
rendered in fine style. Miss Maggie Rouse
sung "Non Piu Mesta" with her aecustom-
ed ease and expression. = g fAss
The violin solo BY Mr.. j. Strasser, was
in every way worthy Of the high reputation
this gentleman enjoys as finished musician.
It was given With the 6ns tas., and astiatic
skill which charaoterizss Mr.. Strasser's play
ing. and was warmly sncered. The socg
from Robert 10 Dia6le by Miss Bslls Hart
wss undoubtedly one Of her happisst efforts.
She certainly has not sung with more pow
er and expression on any previous occasion.
The Tempest Of the Heart was rendered by
Mrs. VIM. E. Foots with fine taste, showing
great hexibility Of voice, and beautiful ex-
preston, siicitins an .nthusiastic asassfe
The duet Oh Swallow, happy swallow,
was finely given, by Misses Watson and
