A concert for the benefit of the destitute widow and

nine children of the late Mr. Kearns is to take place next Wednesday evening, at the Hanover Square Rooms. It has been arranged by a committee of professional mu- sicians and amateurs, who have made preparations for a very attractive entertainment All the eminent vocal and instrumental performers promptly offered their services. A very strong orchestra, to be conducted by Signor Costa, will perform some great symphonies and overtures, in a manner rarely to be heard but at the Philharmonic Concerts; and the vocal pieces are in every variety of style. We trust that the benevolent object of this concert will be fully realized.
