 The Hampton Students, a singing band of twelve colOred singers, organized like She celebrated Jubilee singers, and performing much such music, will give concert here on Wednesday, the 3Oth inst, at the old church. The New York Tribune speaks as follows of one of their concerts at Steinway Hall:
 The third concert of the Hampton Stu dents was given last night at Steinway Hall. It was curious to mark the deep sympathy of the crowded and cultivated audience with the rude verses and almost equally rude tunes brought by these young freed people out of the land of bondage. The. songs of this interesting company of students are not the weak dit ties of the burnt-cork minstrels, nor are they the ordinary music of the concert room which we can hear at any time. They arc tho genuine slave songs, proiuc- cd, nobody knows how, among the plantation cabins and camp-meetings.
