The Concert of the Philharmonic Society on Monday, the seventh
and last but one of the season, was as excellent and successful as usual. There were the " Sinfonia Eroica" of Beethoven, the "Italian Symphony" of Mendelssohn, Weber's Overture to The Ruler of the Spirits, and Mozart's Overture to Figaro. The young and rising pianist, John Francis Barnett, played Beethoven's Concerto in C minor most admirably; and Signora Guerrabella, a lady newly arrived in England, caused a great sensation by her beauty, grace, and the charms of her vocal performance. The room was crowded; and much attention was excited by the presence of the veteran Moscheles, now on a visit to London, among the audience.- Our musical readers will be gratified to learn that this illustrious master will appear once more before the public at the next Philharmonic Concert on Monday week, when he is to perform one of his own Concertos.
