The new "Orchestral Society" gives its first concert next Monday
in St. Martin's Hall. Considering the eminence of the parties embarked in this enterprise, and the magnitude and quality of the orchestra which has been formed, its proceedings are looked forward to with no small interest. One of its peculiar objects is the encouragement of composition by the production of new and untried works; and this object, we observe,, is kept in view in the programme of the first concert.
