Mr. Honig, the violoncellist, and Mr. Colonne, the violinist. 0 ) —At the Sentz-Rassler concert, on Saturday night, there will be fi fty superior instrumental , late under the baton of Carl Bentz, and we have reason to expect a performance richer and more perfect than the first production of the Beforma- lion Symphony on the 31st of October last. If Ibis, Ihe Reformation, was the only attraction,it would be sufficient, but we are promised also Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, than which there is hardly anything more graceful, more winsome, more fascinating in the whole realm of orchestral com positions. Then to this,as a cod,?,comea the won. derfully grand overture to Rienzi, by Wagner, the great musical iconoclast and Innovator. With brass, and reed, and string, running up to the Mlles in the orchestra, a grand effect will be produced with this overturn, one of the best of its kind ever written. Wm. Stoll, Jr., had a beautiful coneerto, by Rode, for violin solo, with orchestral accompaniment, and last, though not least in attractive power, is announced the debut in our city of the youthful phenomenon, who has set New York critics and allettanti wild with excitement. Miss Markatein was thirteen years- old on Wednesday last, and she is said already to have reached a perfection, 'a precision, an aplomb in her playing, which mi,g ht belong to a Clara Schumann, or Arabella Goddard. • —The twenty-fifth matinee of the American Conservatory of Music will be given on the 6th of January. —On Monday evening next Mr. John B.

St. Bennett —Misa Kellogg's grand concert comes off at the Academy of Music on Friday eyaping, and will be one of the moat attractive entertainments of the season. The tickets fof the lower part of the house are put at Two Dollars, which will not be grudged by those who, while enjoying a first class Concert, desire to make a patriotic contri- button for the benefit of the Soldiers' Orphans of the Lincoln institution. The expenses of such an entertainment are necessarily heavy, but it is confidently hoped that this popular cause will receive the same liberal patronage that has alwaya hitherto been extended to It. The Family Circle and Upper Tier have been put down at nominal prices to afford all an opportu nity to enjoy the very pleasant eyenifia *at is ___ promised on this occasion. —The Handel and Haydn Society had a fine f house at the Academy last evening, to hear the performance of "Elijah." The chorus has been judiciously weeded out since last winter, and tire mated last evening 180 effective voices, exhibit hag every indication of thorough anti careful training under their new leader, Mr. Engelke. The choruses were admirably sung, and the So clot is evidently none the worse for the loss of a little of its "dead wood." The solos were stunalmed'hy Mrs. Mozart, so piano, now an established favorite with our stratoriagoers, Mrs. Helen Jarvis Davis, con tralto, Mr. Jacob Graf, tenor, and Dr. Gullmette, bass. Mrs. Davis and Mr. Graf are, as yet, new "?„,, to the business of oratorio 8010 singing, but both pewees the voice, musical education and Wield germ to ensure for them very high positions in this most difficult department of music. In the"Elljah" ' I„:r Dr. Onihnette sustains the brunt of the work, and there ls nothing more thoroughly satisfactory than the admirable method and grand voice with which the veteran , basso delivers the magnificent . passages of this great composition.
