Concert.

A concert in aid of St. James' Sunday School was held at the Academy of Music last evening. As a means of assisting the object intended, it must have been a dead failure from the paucity of the attendance, but otherwise it was a decided success, everything going on smoothly. In the first part the most notable items were a trio, " A little farm well tilled," by Messrs McLiver, Hunter, and Eobinson, the duett, "Flow on thou shinning river," by Messrs Miller and Browae, and " Rocked in the cradle of the deep," by Mr Charles McLiver. Inthe second part, Misses Smith and Clark distinguished themselves in a brilliant pianoforte duet. Mr Ibbefiron was heard to advantage in " Native Valley," and the same may be said regarding a trio by Mrs Mennie, aid Misses Hamilton and Hume. " Larboard Watch " was nicely rendered by MeEsrs McLiver and Eobertson, though it appeared to be sung in a lower key than is usually the case. After a omic song by Mr Wright, a ion? by Mr Gibbs, and a duett by Miss Clark and Mr Eobinson, "The wind and the harp," the proceedings were brought to a close by the singing of the National Anthem. Before the audience dispersed, the Eev. Mr Neill returned thanks to Mr Owen and the choir, church officers, and Mr Melhose.
