A Concert on Hand.

A few days ago We spoke Of the return to this
city of Miss Corinne Bouligny, the charming
songstress whose attainments in art have been
heralded by all the leading musical CRITICS OF
France and America. We soc with pleasure that
she has decided upon giving concert on the
18th instant at Grunewald Hall. Grunewaid
Hal, was the scene Of her experimentative
triumph two years ago, and to drunewaid
Hall belongs the honor OF consecrating BY
the sanction of public plaudits, the regal diadem
of art that is to encircle the brow OF our fair
countrywoman. We welcome the occasion. As
will be seen by the notice elsewhere published,
the ladies of New Orleans take great deal Of
interest in the matter, and Of course We, OF the
sterner sex. must follow suit.
