Mr. Sterndale Bennett gave an excellent morning concert on Thursday;

affording quite a feast of good music. His orchestra comprised the best members of the Philharmonic band, and consequently did the greatest justice to the instrumental pieces which they played, and to the vocal music which they accompanied. Mr. Bennett himself played a new manuscript concerto; an original and masterly composition, beautifully executed. Mendelssohn's music in the Midsummer .Night's Dream, Beet- hoven's instrumental Septet in E flat, solos on the violin and violoncello by Molique and Piatti, and some choice vocal pieces by Madame Dorus- Gras, Mr. Lookey, Miss Dolby, and others, were the chief materials of this interesting concert.
