THE MUSICAL WORLD.

Any lady wooed in so lackadaisical and psalm-tune a style, must be tempted to cry out with " Rosalind "that she had" as lief be wooed of a snail." It is true that Mozart's air is so inherently beautiful, that it does not matter much as to what time it is taken as an air; but here is a question of dramatic truth of expression. The words are sung, burdened with certain thoughts and feelings, and it cannot be a matter of indifference whether the air be made to express the sluggish feeling of sorrow, or the more impetuous and living passion of love. Mr. Harris played Chopin's delicate "La Berceuse," and two of Mendelssohn's "Lieder," in excellent style. We compliment him, too, on his performance of Prudent's composition" Souvenirs de Beethoven." Mr. Banks conducted with his usual care and attention to details, and was assisted in his piano forte accompaniments by Madame Paltoni, anxious that her pupils should have every advantage which her own accompaniments might give them. The concert terminated with the celebrated preghiera from " Mosé in Egitto," sung by the vocalists united. From the Manchester Examiner.

PEOPLE'S CONCERTS.-The second series of these entertainments came to a close on Monday evening last, at the Music Hall, when the labours of the committee were rewarded with one of the largest audiences we ever saw assembled.

In providing also what are Jullien's arrival and Jullien's good health and spirits with called "entertainments," the committee have been eminently infinite pleasure. successful-witness those of Mr. Hatton and Mr. Buckland, and Mr. Nicholls' reading of Macbeth. To Mr. Spark, a member of the committee, and the conductor of the concerts, much is due not only for his services with his colleagues, apart from his public duties, but for the immense care and anxiety which it must have cost him in the training and practising of the chorus, which has not only been the theme of praise through all parts of the town, but the fame of which has even reached London itself, and we understand that Mr. Hatton, and indeed all competent judges, have been unanimous in pronouncing it one of the finest and best trained choral bodies they ever heard, and we must say that we are much indebted to Mr. Spark for his services, both in and out of the concert-room, and he deserves all the praise which has been bestowed upon him. A few words on Monday's concert and we have done. The performers were Mrs. Sunderland, Miss Megson, Miss Brown, Mrs. Gill, and Mr. Delavanti, with the chorus, and Mr. Spark, as conductor. The only debutante was Miss Megson, a young lady, we believe, from Wakefield, and a pupil of the celebrated Mrs. Wood, who made her first appearance in Leeds on this occasion: she appears to have a somesong, what sweet and pleasing voice of moderate compass, but her nervousness in singing her first apparently excessive "Bonnie "Kathleen Mavourneen," entirely precluded us from forming any decided opinion as to her powers; her second song Dundee," made a much more favourable impression. We have not space to particularise the various picces given by the other vocalists, all old favourites. Amongst those more entitled to notice we may mention Mozart's duet, "Who answer so deMary murely," (Crudel perche) by Mrs. Sunderland and Mr. Delavanti ; "I am alone," by Mrs. Sunderland; Miss Brown's song, "Come o'er the stream, Charlie."

THE MISSES COLE AND MR. ALFRED GILBERT'S SOIREES.-The third and last of these Concerts of Classical Chamber Music came off at the New Beethoven Rooms on Wednesday, and attracted a numerous audience. The programme was well varied and excellent, although the term "classical" could scarcely be applied to it without some violence. There were, however, two genuine classical pieces given:-Beethoven's quartet in F, No. 1, op. 18, for two violins, viola, and violoncello; and Mendelssohn's sonata in D, op. 58, for pianoforte and violoncello. The executants in the above were Messrs. Alfred and Henry Holmes (violin), Mr. Colchester (viola), Herr Hildebrand Romberg (violoncello), and Mr. Alfred Gilbert (piano). The Misses Cole contributed a duet from Jessonda; a MS: song, "Give not a Sigh," by Miss S. Cole; a canzonet, "Truth in Absence," by Miss C. Cole; Mendelssohn's two-part songs, "I would that my love," and "May Bells," by the sisters twain, and Kucken's duet "The Swallows," ditto. Miss Charlotte Cole also took part in Macfarren's trio, "Good Night"-not the famous one from the Devil's Opera, by the way, but that written to Shelley's words, scarcely less beautiful,--with Mr. Walworth and Mr. Thornley. The fair and pretty sisters sang most charmingly. Nothing can be neater, more precise, or indeed more perfect, in the ensemble, than the singing of the Misses Cole. Their voices blend together very happily, and separately each voice is most pleasing in quality and skilfully managed. All their efforts were liberally applauded, and an encore not to be resisted followed Kucken's "Swallows." The other vocalists were Miss Chandler and Miss Jackson, of whom

Miss EDWARDS. This talented pianist has announced a matinée to take place during the present month. Miss Edwards will be assisted by Madame Marchesi Graumann, Miss Birch, and Signor Marchesi as vocalists, and Herr Oberthur, (Harp) and Signor Piatti, (violoncello) as instrumentalists. Signor Fossi, one of the best accompanyists, will preside at the piano-forte. Miss Edwards, though not often heard in public, bears the reputation of being one of the best interpreters of classical music in London.

MI-S JANETTA AYLWARD.-We regret to inform our readers that this talented young artiste, who lately gained the King's Scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music, died on the 7th instant, after a few days' illness, aged 15 years and 6 months. Miss Aylward, who was much esteemed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her, was the daughter of Mr. Aylward, the highly respected Professor of Music, Salisbury.

"Pibroch of Donnil Dhu,"
""John Anderson my

Mr. T. H. Wright, and Mr. H. J. Trust, played at Buckingham

Grand Duo Brillante for two Harps, by C. Oberthur, (on Meyer-
beer's Huguenots), played by Herr Oberthur and Mr. T. H. Wright,
(as performed before Her Majesty); then a Grand duo Concer-
tante for two Harps, on subjects from La Donna del Lago, played
by Mr. H. J. Trust, and Mr. T. H. Wright, and a Grand March
for three Harps, composed by T. H. Wright, (dedicated by per-
mission to Her Majesty the Queen), excellently played by T. H.
Wright, Herr Oberthur, and Mr. Trust. Besides the above there
was some excellent vocal music interspersed, viz.: Fesca's very
pretty ballad, "My beloved one's fairy-like form," charmingly
sung by Signor Ferrari, and deservedly applauded; the Romanza E
Preghiera, composed by Rossini, entitled "Assisa á pié d'un salice;"
"Deh! Calma, o'Ciel," Otello, sung by Madame Ferrari, and ac-
companied by Mr. T. H. Wright in a most efficient manner; two
German songs, "Kornblumen," by Willmers, and "My love is
like a damask rose," (mein Lieb ist enie roth Ros) a beautiful little
song, composed by Carl Oberthur, sung to perfection by Herr
Pischek; the admired Trio "The Troubadour," by G. A. Mac-
farren, sung by Madame Ferrari, Miss Bassano, and Signor Ferrari,
deservedly applauded; the well-known Aria, "Ah! se tu dormi
svegliate," (Giulietta e Romeo) by Vaccaj, beautifully sung by
Miss Bassano, and accompanied by Mr. Wright on the Harp; and the
admired Duet," Voga o Tonio," (La Regata Veniziana) by Rossini,
sung by Madame Ferrari and Miss Bassano in a style that quite
delighted the audience. Herr Kuhe officiated as accompanyist at
the piano-forte in a manner that reflected great credit on his
musicianlike intelligence, and the concert altogether gave great
satisfaction.

THE "EARTHMEN."--A novel and highly interesting exhibition may now be seen in Regent Street, near Waterloo Place; consisting of two curious specimens of the human race called "Earthmen," from the great Orange River in South Africa. The one is a male and the other a female, of the respectives ages of fourteen and sixteen; and their height does not exceed three feet four inches. They are the only specimens ever seen in Europe, and they possess peculiarities of habits, features, and growth, quite distinct from all other inhabitants of the globe. Judging from their manners, it may be inferred that the Earthmen" might be HARP UNION.-The second concert of the series took place at moulded to almost any form of mind, and placed on a par with the Willis's Rooms on Tuesday morning, before a highly fashionable more enlightened European; for they are exceedingly quick and and a very crowded audience. There appears to have been one draw-intelligent, and possess a certain inquisitiveness that shows a laudback to the pleasures of the Matinée.

A good no doubt they could summon enough energy to command their pamphlet, descriptive of their habits and peculiarities, may be beaux to perform this necessary act of charity, and thus the artists obtained at the Exhibition Rooms. would be cheered through their arduous labours, and their fair audience have the satisfaction of witnessing it. The selection of music performed on the occasion was excellent-there was a Sextuor for two Harps, Clarionet, Horn, Bassoon, aud Contra-Basso, by Ferd. Ries, played by Messrs. Wright, Trust, Lazarus, Jarrett, Baumann, and Reynolds in excellent style. A Duo Brillante, (Pianoforte and Harp), by C. Oberthur, on subjects from Lucrezia Borgia, capitally played by Mr. Aguilar and Herr Oberthur; this is the same duet we had occasion to notice so favourably when played at one of Mr. Aguilar's soirées. A Duet, (Harp and Concertina) played by Mr. T. H. Wright and Signor Regondi, in a manner that elicited general applause, followed by a duet composed by C. Oberthur, called La Priere (Melodie sans Paroles) Clarionet and Harp, beautifully played by Lazarus and Herr Oberthur. Then came Oberthur's Grand National Fantasia for three

M. ALEXANDRE BILLET. This renowned pianist has just announced a Matinée Musicale to take place at his new residence, 36A, Upper Charlotte Street, Fitzroy Square, on Friday next. The programme is rich and rare, and holds out an immense treat for the lovers of the piano. M. Alexandre Billet has enlisted for assistants, Prudent, Vieuxtemps, and M. Paque, the violoncellist (instrumentalists); and Madame Greiffenhagen, and Herren Reichart and Brandt (vocalists).

OATLANDS GRANGE.-The visitors to the Camp at Chobham, in changing trains at Weybridge, will perceive a beautiful ravine of overhanging plantations close to the station. Over this ravine is the well-known Oatlands Grange, forming formerly a portion of the domain of the Duke of York. The Grange has just been bought for the Conservative Land Society for distribution amongst the members. The estate commands a magnificent view of St.

"ELENA"-Valse brillante, pour le piano, and "THE PAST IS ALL OUR OWN," ballad; sung by Miss Dolby; composed by Arabella Goddard.-The above compositions are from the pen of one of the most gifted young pianistes who have yet appeared before the musical public. It is seldom that great executants of music

The modulations are musician-like, and the harmonies are unexceptionable. We have no doubt the "Elena Waltz" will be seen on the pianofortes of all who have a refined taste and a feeling for the beautiful iu music.

Rudall, Rose and Carte beg to subjoin the following letter, which they have received from Mr. Sax.

Paris, 28th May, 1853.

To Messrs. Rudall, Rose, and Carte, Gentlemen,-I accept your proposals relative to the sale of my instruments in England; and I am happy to think that owing to the arrangements entered into by us, which constitutes you my sole Agents in Great Britain, I shall be worthily represented, at the same time that the Public will be no longer misled by those who appropriate the goods of others.

There have been issued, under the cover of my name, a crowd cf counterfeit Sax Horns, and other Instruments invented by me, which the purchaser necessarily thought came from my manufactory, but to which I never put a hand. My reputation must have been very firmly established in your country, to have withstood the effects of so much tending to injure it. But now there need be no further mistakes of this kind. Every one who purchases my instruments from you, will know of a certainty that they are manufactured by me.

I do not doubt, Gentlemen, but that with your activity and commercial habits, you will soon realise a large amount of business, by promoting the sale of many instruments which are at present but little known among you; but which, I may be allowed to say, cannot fail to obtain a brilliant success, not only with Musicians and We shall thus be rendering a great service to the Connoisseurs, but with Amateurs. Musical Art, and to ourselves at the same time. Accept, Gentlemen, my warm salutations, ADOLPHE SAX.
