Mademoiselle Clauss's Concert. On Saturd...
MADEMOISELLE CLAUSS'S CONCERT . On Saturday last , this darling of the musical and the fashionable public , fav e her annual concert . The large room in King-street was filled to overowing by a brilliant throng ; and the quality of the entertainment prepared for them , was calculated to deepen the enthusiasm of the most enthusiastic among her admirers . The most important compositions performed were Mendelssohn ' s Quartett in B minor ; in which Mademoiselle Clauss played the pianoforte , and Ernst , Piatti , and Hill , the stringed instruments ; and Beethoven ' s pianoforte Sonata in B flat . This latter chefcPceuvre is calculated to exhibit the perfection of Mademoiselle Clauss ' s style of playing ; indeed , it cannot be well played by pianistes whose method of execution and musical organisation are not , in some measure , akin to hers . With , the exception of Halle * we question -whether any other public performer could have gratified us in the Adagio movement and final Rondo of this Sonata half as much as Mademoiselle Clauss did on Saturday . We never heard her play with more exquisite feeling , or with more delicate finish of touch . The very keys seemed to forget that they were wood and bone , " "the work of men ' s hands , " and spoke out beneath her fingers as if each had received a living soul from her touch . In Mendelssohn ' s Quartett her excellence was of another kind . Here the rapidity , vivacity , and fantastic delicacy of execution required by the composer baffle most performers—at least , before a public audience ; but this gif ted artist was
perfectly at ease throughout the composition , giving the most trying passages with no more apparent effort than the easier ones , and calling forth the whispered words " beautiful ! " " wonderful ! " from the entranced or excited listener . The only composition she played which we heartily wished out of the programme , ( because , though very wonderful , it is not at all beautiful ) , was Liszt ' s difficult fantasia from the finale in Lucia . We can only suppose that it was performed " by particular desire " of some injudicious admirer who thinks that genius like Clauss ' s cannot make too much noise in the world . For our own part , we would almost as soon hear her play a Persian solo on the Shah ' s biggest gong , as desecrate her high office by playing so poor and pretentious a thing as that insane fantasiawhich Liszt could only have written to " split the ears of the groundlings . " Chopin ' s Nocturne was as sweet , and quaint , and fantastic , in her hands , as in his own ( alas ! that they will draw music no more from earthly instrument!)—As a striking contrast to all these other striking contrasts , Mademoiselle played a suite de pieces of Handel's in a style to satisfy the most rigorous Handelian of the Georgian sera . To hear tnat grand old monotonous rhythm springing up beneath those delicate fingers , was like seeing Una stroking the lion ' s mane . The vocal performers at this concert were few and well chosen . Miss L . Pyne , Madame Ainedei , and M . Jules Lefort , are each good , as all the world knows , and they sang their best on this occasion .

CoHBotS nave oscillated about 1 per cent . —between . 93 $ 94 } •—during the week , but there has t > een little business , speculative or real . Railway shares , particularly the heavy snares , have b « en greatly in demand ; and a report industriously circulated that London and North-Western will pay a dividend of 5 } per cent , has brought in many buyers . looking at the "weekly traffic list and the expenditure , we cannot see that they will have & J per cent , to divide—if even 5 . Crystal Palace shares have been flat all the week , and wo question much it we shall see any rise in them . Foreign snares iu railways remain quiet and at excellent prices . Some activity has been evinced in Antwerp and Rotterdam , the line opens for about 30 miles
to-morrow , July 1 : the shares at present are about 31 dis . per share ; before tins time nextyear we may see them at 31 . per share premium . Alines are flat , and but little doing ; United Mexican have ben a i per share better , and Imperial Brazil have been very much better , but have again receded . peninsulas , awaiting advices from Captain John Hichens , continue firm . Obernhoffs are singularly unsaleable , but there ib a reason for this ; eventually they may bo worth par . Pontgibeauds hav « published excellent accounts of this prospect , but their price docs not much improve . The markets are a little flatter this afternoon .

COCOA is a NUT , -which , besides farina ceous substance , contains a bland oil , less liable than any other oil to rancidity . Possessing these two nutritive substances , Cocoa is a most valuable article of diet , more particularly when , by mechanical or other means , tho farinaceous substance is so perfectly incorporated with the oily , that the one will prevent the other from separating . Such a union is presented in the Cocoa prepared by JAMES BPPS . The delightful flavouri in part dependent upon the oil , is retained , and the whole preparation is one suited to the most delicate stomach . - Is . 6 d . per lb .

Tub most effectual , remedy for Consumption , Bronchitis , Asthma , Gout , Chronic Rheumatism , and all Scrofulous Diseases . Approved of and recommended by Beezeuus , Liebiq , Woehlek , Jonathan PEREiRA , rouftrjiEE , and numerous other eminent medical men and scientific chemists in Europe . Specially rewarded with medals by the Governments of Belgium and the Netherlands . Has almost entirely superseded all other kinds on the Continent , in consequence of its proved superior power and efficacy— -effecting a cure much more rapidly . Contains iodine , phosphate of clialk , volatile acid , and the elements of the bile—in short , all its most active and essential principles—in larger quantities than tho pale oils made in England and Newfoundland , deprived mainly of these by their mode of preparation .

The subjoined testimonial of tho late Dr . Jonathan PeReika , Professor at the University of London , author of " Tho Elements of Materia Modica and Therapeutics , " is selected from innumerable others from medical and scientific men of the highest distinction : — "My dear Sir—I was very glad to find from you , when I had the pleasure of seeing you in London , that you wero interested commercially in Cod Liver Oil . It was fitting that tho Author of the best analysis and investigations into the properties of this Oil should himself bo tho Purveyor of this important medicine . "I feel , however , some diffidence in venturing to fulfil your request by giving you my opinion of tho quality of tho oil of which you gave mo a sample ; because 1 know that no one can bo bettor , and few so well , acquainted with tho physical and chemical properties of thia medicine as youreelf , whom I regard as tho highest authority on tho subject . I can , however , havo no hesitation about tho propriety of responding to your application . Tho oil which you gave mo was of tho very finest quality , whether considered with reference to its colour , flavour , or chemical properties ; and I am satisfied that for medicinal purposes no finer oil can be procured . " With my best wishes for your success , believe mo , my dear Sir , to bo very faithfully yours . »™ u ( Signed ; JONATHAN PURE IRA . F 8 j > w » y-8 WWP 0 , London , April 10 , 1 ( 361 .
