At the Philharmonic rehearsal on Saturday, were seated, aide by

side, Cramer, Field, Moscheles, and Mendelssolm, and near them stood Meyerbeer.- Mendelasohn, one of the highest ornament« of the modern German school, was received with loud cheers by the Orchestra. His first offer of IA Sinfonia to the Philharmonic Directors was received with doubt and hesitation. The compositions Which he has brought with him will now be hailed as the most interesting novelties of the season. We look forward to the per. formance of one at the next Concert.
