THE DE MURSKA CONCERTS.

I i.i. i? re waa a fuU atte ndance in all parts of the Queen's last night, when the fifth concert of the present series was given. A capital programme was put forward. In the first part Madame gave the grand aria from bemiramide, and being encored, delighted her with " Comin' thro' the rye." The feature of the second part, and, indeed, of the concert, was her rendering of "Casta Diva," which was faultless, and took the house by storm, the final movement being repeated. And in the duo with Pignor Susini she was particularly good. Ihe Signor's first appearance was in a serenata by Guonod, which is sure to be acceptable when it is better known; he took part with Signor Uosnati in a duet, I Masnadien," which had to be repeated; and in the duo from "Elisir d'Amore," which meets with additional favor each time it is repeated, he was irresistibly droll. Signor Rosnati's fine voice was heard to the utmost advantage in the aria from "Traviata," his best effort last night, and in the duet. Signor Giammona played two solosone from "Linda," which was very fine, and the other from \Un Ballo " ; while Mr Hill's "Tarantella" gained an encore, when he played «• Home, Sweet Home " to the evident enjoyment of his hearers. To-night the last concert of the series will be given, Madame being announced to give the jewel song from " Faust," one of Arditi's waltzes, and to take part with Signor Susini in the duet from "Crispino ela Comare." On Tuesday next she and her company transfer themselves to the Princess's, when we hope to see them in operatic scenas. We might suggest the finale to the first act of " Trovatore," the trio from the second act of *• Lucrezia," or the grand duo from "Polinto."
