ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
The Second Anniversary Dinner of the Royal Academy of Music took place on Saturday, at the Argyll Rooms. A numerous and most respectable company attended. Lord CLARENDON was in the Chair in the absence of the Duke of YORK, who sent an apology. Several Noblemen supported the Chair. After dinner, Non nobis Domine was given by professional singers, among whom were two very young boys, who sung delightfully. God save the King, followed the King’s health. The Orchestra Department was entirely composed of the Students of Institution, some very young, not more than twelve years old—most of them from twelve to sixteen and the whole acquitted themselves like veterans.
The principal novelty of the evening was the first introduction in public of the celebrated Signor VELUTI, whose appearance lately at Devonshire House gave occasion to some Papers to indulge in some most coarse and unfeeling remarks on this eminent singer. The unmanly attack seemed to be remembered by the Noblemen and Gentlemen present, as he was to the orchestra by Messrs. NICHOLSON and BOCHSA. Nothing could exceed the applause which followed the grand scena [sic], and the aria which he executed, accompanied on the harp and flute by Messrs. NICHOLSON and BOCHSA. His knowledge of music appeared also very great. The warmth of applause with which he was received by the entire company appeared to make a sensible impression on the singer, who appeared almost overcome by his feelings, and had marked and friendly attention paid him by several of the Noblemen present. The next great treat was Mr. MOSCHELLE’S Concerto on the Grand Piano, which for brilliancy of execution could not be surpassed. He also received the most flattering marks of approbations. The other performances were all delightfully executed, and most warmly received. The whole was indeed the feast of reason and the flow of soul. The novelty of seeing so many interesting youths perform with so much readiness and skill, must have been seen to be properly appreciated. His MAJESTY sent 100 guineas to the Academy, and the Collection altogether amounted to 469l. 19s.
