CHARLES INCLEDON'S CONCERT.
WE went, on Wednesday night, "for sold lang sync," to the City of London Tavern ; where our ears and eyes were regaled with some re- miniscences of the great master of the English ballad style. We say, eyes as well as ears; for the features of INCLEDON'S grandson most vividly recalled the earliest remembrances of our old favourite. Master INCLEDON has a sweet, melodious voice, and a great deal of that in- tuitive perception of musical expression which no art can teach, and which his grandsire possessed in so preeminent a degree. Many of the most respectable English vocal professors gave their assistance. Some glees, by WEBBE, CALLCOTT, STEVENS, Goss, and BISHOP, were ad- mirably sung by Mrs. GEORGE WOOD, and Messrs. TERRAIL, HAW. KINS, bons, E. TAYLOR, and BELLAMY; and a very numerous au- dience testified, both by their attention and applause, the pleasure which such compositions, when thus set forth, are so well calculated to inspire. We beg to thank Mr. HAWKINS for a revival of SHIELD'S elegant ballad" The Streamlet :" we hope the success which attended this effort, will lead him and other competent singers to impart to the present generation a knowledge of this author's charming melodies.
