at the Assembly-Room, in Lodge-Alley, a Concert of Music,
Vocal and Instrumental, to begin precisely at six o'clock in
the evening, on Thursday the 5th of December.  The concert
will consist of two Acts, commencing and ending with
favourite Overtures, performed by a full band of music, with
trumpets, kettle-drums, and every instrument that can be
introduced with propriety.  The performance will be
interspersed with the most pleasing and select pieces,
composed by approved authors.  A solo will be played on the
German Flute, by John M'Lean; and the whole will conclude
with an overture composed (for the occasion) by Philip Roth,
Master of the Band of Music belonging to his Majesty's Royal
Regiment of North British Fusiliers.
