Musical Union Concert.

The greatest musical treat of the season comes off this evening at Metropolitan Hall. The “Musical Union,” which recently gave the “Haymakers” with so much success in this city, is again out with a rich programme, embracing some of the choicest gems of song. Among the prominent performers on this occasion, we notice the names of Mrs. THOMAS, one of our best Sopranos; Mrs. Mattison, the finest Contralto in the Northwest; De Passio, whose Baritone is not excelled, and well-known  and popular Basso, J. G. Lumbard, and H. Johnson, which, together with the choral strength of the Society, and the orchestra of the Light Guard Band, the whole under the direction of J. G. Gird, conductor, make up an entertainment rarely equaled in musical efforts.
