ACADEMY OF MUS c.-New that the dramatic
season hss past ano gone, and of all the theaters
to which, during tAe past winter, we we're wont
TO allude, the Academy alone remains open
TO the public, one would suppose that the
management, reed from the necessities Of com.
p ttion, might lay less stress upon the merits OF
their entertainments. But this Is not the case,
tor, on the contrary. their enterprise. proverbal
az it has become, only prompts them TO renewed
efforts TO please, and we In vain recur TO any Pc
riod in the annals Of the Academy TO End the an-
norncement of a more brilliant series of per
formances than those now nightly offered. That
the public appreciate these endeavors. made in
spite of many discoursgements and obstacles, Is
evidenced by the liberal patronage which they
bestow. We make these remarks. necessarily

The PARLoR CoNCERT.--Signor Paolucchi, that
talented and deserving artist, whose bassO pro-
fundo has been invaluable to the MendelssOhn
Quartette in their late ParlOr Concerts atLyceum
Hall. presents to morrow evening his claims upon

memo, and by Messrs. Chase, Tracy and the
Wheelers. The simple announcement of this
coming entertainment and of the fact that this
will be Senorita FiIomeno's final appearance will
be sufficient to insure an attendance fully as
large as any that have graced the previous sim
liar occasions.
FAREWELL CONCERT TO MASTER KAIsER.-As
we stated short time since, the boy violnist.
Master Kaisnr, who by his wonderful talent and
execution has already won a name in our city, is
about 10 set out for Paris, there TO pursue the
study of his favorite art, and proposes, on the
18th inst, TO afford our citizens final opp0r-
tunity of listening to his performances. The ON
cert will be given at the Deutsche Company Hail.
corner of Blenvie street and Exchange Alley,
and the programme embraces such gems as
Singelie's fantasia for the violin, from Lucia de
Lammermoor, and grand fantasie upon the
Marseillaise, composed and to be executed by
Mile o. Rooney. We look for rare entertain
ment, and hope to chronicle a brilliant ovation
TO the youthful genius, so soon to take his de-
p6rture.
VARIETIES THKATER-An entertainment in the
form of a complimentary benefit to Rev. J. G.
Carpenter. well known as an untiring and self
sacrificing worker IN the good cause Of charity,
Is TO be given at the Varieties Theater on the
evening Of the 10th inst. next Wednesday week.
Prof Robertss Illuminated rabeaux of the Paris
Exposition, and grand concert by amateurs,
under the direction of Prof. LaHache, will con-
stiute the attractions Of the occasion, to which
we expect to allude more fully hereafter.
SESoRITA JosEFISA FLosENo.-As this dis
.tiDgushed and wonderful pianist and violinist il
about to leave this city. where she has delighted
us with several concerts, given by her, as well
in others given for charitable Purposes, we will
make a resume of the performances of the pieces
for both instruments, and lint out the character
istics of the execution. Although she has per-
formed on the piano tie most difficult compost
tons of Litzt, Thalberg Doeher. Jaell etc., she
seems to excel in Gottschalk's compositions. She
plays with great delicscy, gracefulness and ex.
preston her touch is eten, clear and musical;
her tones are round, distinct ard well separated
her great forte is the correct and artistic concep
ton of every authors composition. All who are
acquainted with the works OF Thalberg and Litzt,
know how much Litzt by his bold style moves
the feelings and Imagination Of his hearers. His
hands and fingers are all powerful; he creates
storms of enthusiasm with the keys. Thslberg Is
quite the opposite. He astonishes by the purity
and the correctness Of his style, and the calm,
WIN which ne accompanies tle Most aruuOuS Oil
fcultes. Miss Filomeno is fully aware of
this, and whilst she renders Ltzt's
works with energy and great power.
she works wonders, without betraying the least
effort in Thalberg's pieces. her execution on the
violin is as astonishing as that on the piano. We
have heard Allard, Paganini, Vieuxtemps, De Be-
riot. Mendelssohn and Hsuser. In Vieuxtemps's
Norma " fantasia, on the fourth string, she drew
the purest of possible sounds; but in Paganini's
Les Clochettes," and Mendelssohns =" E Minor
Concerto" she bafiied the sternest difcultes-or,
TO say truth, there is apparent difficulty to her,
so easy is her bow, so agile and quick are her
fingers. She is inimitably nonchalant-the girl
when she walks towards the audience she
seems to cay, =" Here am; am sure of myself.
and sure of you; shall act my part well and you
will applaud me-" The compositions of Allsrd
her teacher, belonging to the French school, seem
to suit far better her musical training. When she
grows older and stronger she will be more sue
cessful with the German sehool-not that she
failed in playing it far from it; but she was more
finished in performing her masters works. The
memory Of Miss Filomeno is remarkable. She
has executed at the several concerts given here at
least thirty pieces without the music, with the
utmost accuracy. This young Gillian girl, of not
yet fifteen years of age is about to leave the city
on a professional tour 10 the Eastern and Northern
States, q d we take great leasure in commenting
her TO the lovers Of music abroad as young
artist of extraordinary ability and power.
Picnic IN JEFFERsON.-To-day and tomorrow,
at the Delachaise Grounds, corner Of st. Charles
street and Louisiana avenue. st. Henry's Benev.
client Association Of Jefferson will entertain their
friends at pic mic, given for the benefit of the
association. Provided the weather continues as
pleasant as of late, an enjoyable occasion may be
