BENEFIT ITALIAN CONCERTS.

A "grand evening concert" was given at the Hanover Square Rooms last night, for the benefit of the Gratuitous Italian School, in Greville Street, Hatton Garden. All the principal singers at the Covent Garden Operahouse, with some others, contributed their aid to a very miscellane- ous programme. In the course of the evening, Signor Pistrucci gave the English a specimen of the improvisatore's art, with much fluency and fire. The concert was very successful; the room was crowded to overflowing.
