THE CRYSTAL PALACE . Week after week on Friday delighted throngs may be seen hurrying to the railway terminus , anxious" to obtain seats in the foremost rows at the now celebrated matinees given in this gorgeous concert-room . The attendance , sensibly augmented since the new regulation respecting single tickets , is occasionally almost more than the accommodation warrants ; and we hope , for the remainder of the concerts , to see better and ampler arrangements carried out for the comfort of the visitors . Beside the attraction of these concerts , the flower-shows draw enormous crowds of all ranks hither , and during the last few days the opening of the great
fountains has been graced by the presence of royalty itself , to the satisfaction of one of the largest throngs of persons ever assembled at this our English Versailles . In a musical point of view , the various experiments have now , we believe , resulted in complete success . Grisi , Bosio , Ronconi , Mario , and Gardoni , never sang with greater effect or power , or elicited more rapturous applause , than here . As a lounge and haven of refreshment and enjoyment on a hot summer ' s day , surely never was there a floral fairyland more charming , —a " Sans Souci" more insidiously appliant to every sense without fatiguing any I
HERR SIGISMOND SCHMEYER'S CONCERT . This annual morning concert took place at Willis ' s rooms on the 14 th ult ., and was fashionably attended . The principal . attraction was Hummel ' s grand quintet in E flat minor , which was most masterly rendered by Herren Schmeyer , Ries , Paque , Goffrie , and Galliott . Herren Tedesco and Schmeyer also won golden opinions in the duo for two pianos , Homraage a Handel . " The other distinguished performers were Messrs . Ernst , Jules Lefort , Lorenzo , Reichart , Rokitauski , and Regondi , not forgetting Miss Stabbach . Altogether , this was one of the most attractive concerts of the season .
MDLLE . RELRICHART'S CONCERT . The selection of music given at this musical reunion was well calculated to display the accomplishments of the fair debutante , who is a pupil of Herr Tedesco . She performed several pieces splendidly , particularly Beethoven ' s moonlight finale , and the andante and finale from Hummel's fantasia in E flat ; her execution with the left hand approaches to the marvellous . The concert was supported by Herren Rokitauski and Jansa and Mr . Boleyn Reeves .
MR . AGUILAR'S MORNING CONCERT . Madame Yiardot Garcia shared the triumph on this occasion with several other vocalists of note , —as Signer Tradier , Herr Reichardt , Madame Beyer Zerr , and Mdlle . E . Krall . The instrumental performers were Messrs . Hausmann , Ernst , Kuhe , and Aguilar ; but every lesser fire paled before the exquisite performance of Madame Schumann , whom once to hear is never to cease admiring .
