We ever heard In this city. A number Of

feoting her musical abilities, which are Of
NO common order.

ed voice, admirably suited to the piece.

sad sea- brought out the pathos and

cd tho enthusiastic applause which greeted
them.
We cannot close this brief report Of this
very pleasant entertainment without
speaking Of the admirable manner in which
Mrs. Alsop plays aeeompaniments to vocal
pieces. Her touch is both delicate and
firm, and she makes her accompaniment
sympathetic with the singers voice and
subordinate to it, faculty possessed by
