Mladane Pasta lent her powerful aid on tlir occ.asion, and sang with unusual spirit. Shie was enthasiastically applauded in an aria from Zo.aide, which she executed withn the most exquisite taste and delicacy. A duet which she sange with 2ladaine Biagioli, from the opera of L'Arnzida, also received great and deserved approbation. iliadame Biagioli is heard' to much greater advantage in a concert,rooni tharn on the stage, shere her tinidity is very, apparent. She washst night inuchinore at her ease than we have ever seen her before, and really displaved great tenderness and expression in the execution of her shiare of the performnances. Her voice is not of very extensive power, but she evinces very considerable taste in the management of wvhat she pos- scs.cs. Shc also obtained great credit forherperrrnnance on tie harp and Dialoforte. Miadame Canobran Rossini added greatly to the vocal strengthi of the orchestra. Though the tolies of hei voice are fre- qtoently very har.h, she is n.t unable to modulate it with judgment and pmecisibn, arid possesses in a great degree that grand charm ot ! muF: 41 execution, expression. Rossini presided 'at the pianoforte vduvinf a great part of the. evening. a."
