THE DE MURSKA CONCERTS.

The third of the present seiies of concerts, which took place lust night, attracted a full attendance to all parts of the Queen’s, and the programme that was put forward could not fail to give thorough satisfaction. Madame had set herself down for plenty of important work. The “ Shadow Song,” from “Diuorah,” which by the way is said to bo one of her best operatic delineations, made purposely ornate to a degree by its composer to tax the caiiabilit.es of a great French artist, capabilities that find a fitting counterpart in De Mursk", who surmounts the difficulties of the composition with such ast onish mg ease that one fails to recognise that they are s.icli stupeuduous difficulties. The succession of unaccompanied cadenzas, which are the feature of the song, were faultlessly given. As an eucore Madame rendered “ Home, Sweet Home,” with such teste and feeling as showed that in her hands a ballad loseS none of its charms. Wo pass over “Una Voce” with the remark that it was done full justice to; and can only say of “ Lo, Here the Gentle Lark,” with the flute accompaniment of Signor Giaramona, that it was one of those rare treats that will live for many a day in the recollection of those who were fortuua e enough to hear it. More than once was it difficult to distinguish the voice from the instrument, so perfect was the understanding between them. The rendering of this song created a perfect furore, Madame being requested to bow her acknowledgments'for (he third time.
