so often and so higlily spoken in these columns that to repeat mere variations of the old song , that the fiery execution of Wieniawski , the artistic intelligence of Piatti , and their confreres , would weary the reader ' s patience . The fame of the Lobkowitz and Rasomowski quartets has , thanks to such player 3 as those engaged by the directors of these concerts , and the appreciation of the press , now been disseminated through England . We can but add that the prevalent reports of the musical delight to be here experienced are byjio means exaggerated . It is , of course , not given to many to understand , as pretend the abstruser German critics and their English imitatorsthe unintelligible , and to fathom
, the bottomless . The man of sense pities as he smiles at the ' interpretations " or programmes of musical pieces composed by fitful dreamers , with little other purpose , and certainly no other end , than to furnish field for the display of . instrumental perfection and refined taste . But all ivlio seek these elegant soirees \ riih no unreasonable expectations will , ere they leave , acknowledge a deeper sense of the power " of sound , the sensual , effect of music , and a closer acquaintance with the perfection to which musical culture , superadded to fine taste , will bring
the ear and touch of the executant , llerr Reichardt sang in his own best style , and with that deep sentiment they dcmand ,. tiie songs allotted to him . Madame . Lernmens was particularly sticcessful in the air from Mr . Macfiirren ' s coinic Quixote ; and last , not least , the Unaffected Halle enjoyed that -marked ; appreciation and applause ivhich all pianoforte players of merit may eount upon , and which is never more spontaneously decreed than to himself . The performance on Monday evening next will comprise the celebrated Kreutzer Sonata of Beethoven , and a
miscellaneous selection of vocal music , the same artists being engaged in bptH departments .. Purs-cuss's Theatre . — The only novelty this <\ veek is a revival of Mr . Dance ' s adaptation of "A Wonderful Woman , " a very choice little comedy , originally produced ( in England ) at the Lyceum Theatre . " Mr . A . Harris made his debut before this audience ^ at least , having appeared as manager only , heretofore ) in the part of the Marquis of Frontignac , and played the light-hearted , extravagant , but sensitive and honourable young nobleman : with much spirit , vivacity , and feeling . Miss C Leclercq played the Marchioness , charmingly , and Mr . F . Llathews was a capital Crepin , the cobbler .
St . James ' s Theatre . —A sprightly trine , entitled—cai ^ tivatingly enough for the ladios—" The Swan and Edgar ' ¦ ' —has fuund , its way on to these boards , from the johit study of Messrs . Sutherland Edwai'ds and C . Kenney , who , we believe , are entitled to the merit of having elaborated it from their own heads instead of , as customary , from the more easily-squeezed one of a Trench author . It is , altogether , a very pleasing specimen , n-s would say the world-renowned firm in Regent-street ( who , wo are pleased to announce , hctve not filed an injunction against the title ) , ot"British manufacture ; genuine and sound in warp and woof , not grand and gaudy before , and worthless behind . The Swan of the
piece , otherwise the fairy Cygnettu , is Miss Jjydia Thompson ; Miss Clara St . Casso is the Edyar . A bold and burly Baron Tchaffanhumbug is unctuously enacted by Mr . Barrett , whose business is to thwart the loves of the lovelorn Wty and . her mortal swain . Of the ladies who / talce these characters the former does all that may become a ballerina of arnbilion and promise , and the latter all that the most sanguine well-wisher of such an interesting vocalist could demand . The parodies , got up after the fashion of the day , l > y the witty authors , and sung by the latter lady ,- arc prettily chosen , neatly
executed , and much applauded , while sundry pas da fascination by the , graceful Lydia are seductive enough to catch the heart of many a young , and perchance , too , old sybaris . It were rcgretnble , if the season ' s success—0 tJ creditable to the good taste , sound judgment , and hard work of Messrs . Chatterton & Willott , the lessees—were to bo jeopardised by the recurrent indisposition of Mr . Leigh Murray , who was unfortunately unable to perform his part in " London Pride " On Wednesday evening ; but wo are glad , as wo wexo proparod , to hour that , arrangements ore not Impossible for filling the void thus occasioned .
Sdssex llAi , ry . —On Tuesday a lecture on the writings and genius of Eliza Cook , interspersed with select readings firom tho works of the poetess , was givenJby Mrs . II , Thomas . Tho loeturess gave a fair but eulogistic ( summary of the qualities of this favourite song writer , and road " Tho Old Clock , " » The Dying Old Man to his Young Wifu , " and sovoral other pieces with groat fueling and effect . Sl » o also gave several anecdotca of Mias Cook , which told - well with tho audience ; and altogothorwo may say that wo have aolclom heard a lecture of tho kind more judiciously arranged , and more ploasantly recited .
