Organ Concert.— We understand that there is likely to be a large attendance at the Provincial Hall to-night, nearly 200 tickets having already been taken, but it is only fair to say that the fact of so large a number having been disposed of is due to the liberality of the performeis, who, not content with giving their services, have also purchased tickets at the 6ame rate as that charged to the audience. 'We are requestod to state ; that tickets will be procurable at the doors this evening.
