g»Ix is uu kbit able to the ladies who had the management of the concert on Friday evening, ut Albany Hall, that it was the most select and at the same time the most.brilliant of any festive gathering 'that lias .graced Albany for many a.day,The Hall was made .to resemble, as mnoli as possible, a large drawing room. Damask drapery shrouded the windows, and the door was canvassed, in; lieu of carpet. To Sir. Mix, architect, and our friend Brooks, the artist, the Hall owed much of itsresplondaot appearance. We feel proud to think that the occasion called’ forth’ the.creme de la creme. and wo ’ congratulate the Vice-Regent on the •entire success of the scheme. , - •Before we close’ this article, it is but justice topey a tribute to our German fallow citizens who entered so'largely into the performance, The . tableaus-r-exquisitely' .asthey Are raudured by the Tnrnprs—wen tha admiration of all who witnessed them; and Balatka,' the indispensable Balatxa, waved his baton and harmony jlourishod—-such as is only obtained when he is maetiro.On Saturday.. afternoo n the children^ wer e treated to a hovel and interesting performance. An oriental panorama. admirably executed, and representing all the objects of interest in a voyage from; England to India, was exhibited, and the delighted faces of the liltleohes fully-testified how Welt they appre* : biated • fho trans-Atlantic beauties. Then enrae a magic lantern, .with its painting on the.screen, and the ventriloquism of Davis, which latter -was in itself ■ quite worth a .quarter. After these ' entertainments the : children were allowed to join in a merry dance, and the hilarity which ensued would have been worth a moral 'sermon to all our old bachelors. Long- will the children re-member the occasion as a distinctively happy one.
