MERTHYR. I CONCERT.-According to announcement, Mr. Edward Lawranco gave his grand concert on fedld;ig 1VfhehiTetn.r It is due to his admirable appreciation of the high class taste of the inhabitants of Merthyr and neighbourhood to say that the hall was crowded, and it would have been a difficult matter to have found a vacant reserved seat. The artistes were Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Madame Patey, Miss Jessie Jones, Mr. Patey, and Mr. Hollins conductors, Herr Theodore Frantzen and Mr. Edward Lawrance. Need we say that the names proclaim the highest talent. Miss Jessie Jones has a fine voice, coupled with an extensive compass. She takes great pains, but is rather laboured. Time, however, will mature the excellence of her native talent. Madame Patey's magnificent voice is too well known to be commented upon, except that she, if possible, excelled herself in a beautiful new song, "The felling of the trees." Her appearance was the signal for a perfect storm of applause. Madame Lemmens-Sherrington nearly brought the house down by her enchanting manner of rendering her pieces. Messrs. Patey and Hollins won their full share of golden opinions, their singing being marked by that case and expresion which emanated from careful training and inherent talent only. Herr Theodore Frantzen's manipulation of the pianoforte in the "Valse de Concert" thrilled, every heart, and he having raised the audience above the material world, was compelled to recall them, which he did by a most beautiful rendering of that most ap- propriatO piece" Home, sweet home." Last, though by no means least, Mr. Lawrance's grace- ful and expressive accompaniment of several of the pieces sung proved that he had but to step forward as an aspirant for public honours to win them. The most fastidious must have been delighted, and we are sure the only regret felt is the the length of time that must- elapse ere we can have another such treat. All praise is due to Mr. Lawrance for his admirable scleetion of artistes, and the perfect order with which all the arrangements were carried out. FATAL ACCIDENT.—Early on Wednesday morn- ing a miner, named Wyndham Griffiths, aged -15, residing at Church-street, Penydarren, was crushed to death by the falling of about 10 tons of rubbish whilst engaged at his work at No. 7 Mille Pit, Pontywaun. Death was instantaneous.
