MACDONNELL'S MATINEE MUSICALE.-This accomplished and well-known vocalist, recently made her debut at one of the soirées of the Réunion des Arts, and subsequently appeared at one or two concerts-the Amateur's and Musical Union-in all of which she achieved complete success, which she wisely followed up by giving a Matinée Musicale on Thursday at the elegant mansion of Mrs. Tudor, in Portman Square, which had very kindly been placed at her disposal for that purpose. The programme provided gave unbounded gratification to a brilliant and highly fashionable audience. Mrs. Macdonnell, from the excellent method of vocali sation, purity of tone, and versatility of style she exhibited in the several duos, trios, &c., she took part in, with Herr Pischek, Signors Gardoni, F. Lablache, and Brizzi, and with Miss Dolby, may take a high position as a bravura singer in the profession she has adopted. Herr Pischek and Gardoni were in capital voice, and elicited warm approbation-the former in three or four German lieds, and the latter by his charming rendering of a pretty romance The of Blumenthal's, "Le chemin du paradis." Jules Lefort likewise gave great pleasure in three of his favourite romances. instrumental portion consisted of a duo concertante for two pianofortes, composed by Osborne, on themes from Les Huguenots, and executed. with their usual excellence by that gentleman and Mr. Benedict, and solos on the piano by Messrs. Prudent and Blumenthal.-(From a Correspondent.) MISS RAINFORTH gave her third illustration of the Lyrical and Romantic Poetry of Scotland, on Wednesday evening, at the Music Hall, Store Street. The subject chosen on the occasion was Sir Walter Scott's Poem of the Lady of the Lake. The entertainment was divided into six cantos. The chase, the island, and gathering, which concluded the first part. The second part was divided into the prophecy, the combat, and the guardroom. As might have been expected, the whole of the poem was not given, but it was cleverly abridged for the occasion. Miss Rainforth got through her task famously, and in two of the vocal illustrations "Hail to the Chief," and "My hawk is tired" deservedly received encores. The other illustrations which mostly pleased the audience were ," "The rose is fairest," and "They bid me "The heath this night," sleep," which Miss Rainforth sang charmingly. Mr. W. L. Phillips was the conductor, and performed his duties most efficiently.

ERTAIN Remedy for Scorbutic Humours, and an astonishing Cure of an old Lady, Seventy years of Age, of a Bad Leg. Copy of a letter from Messrs. Walker and Co.. Chemists, Bath. To Professor Holloway, dear Sir, Among the numerous cures effected by the use of your valuable med cines in this neighbourhood, we may mention that of an old lady living in the village of Preston, abour five miles from this city. She had ulcerated wounds in her leg for many years and lately they increased to such an alarming extent as to defy all the usual remedies. her health rapidly giving way under the suffering she endured. In this distressing condition she had recourse to your Ointment and Pills, and by the assistance of her friends, was enabled to persevere in their use, until she received a perfect cure. We have ourselves been greatly astonished at the effect on so old a person, she being above 70 years of age. We shall be happy to satisfy any enquiries as to the authenticity of this really wonderful case, either personally or by letter. A private in the Bath Police Force, also, has been perfectly cured of an old scerbutic affection in the face, after all other means had failed. He states that it is entirely by the use of your Ointment, and speaks loudly in its praise.

RUDALL, ROSE, AND CARTE, Patentees of the only Prize Flutes, and manufacturers of Military Musical Instruments, beg to announce to the commanding officers of Her Majesty's Army and Navy; the Masters of Bands, and the Musical Public, that they have been appointed the SOLE AGENTS IN GREAT BRITAIN for the s le of Sax's celebrated Instrumentsthe Sax Cornets, Sax Trombas, Sax Horns, Sax Trombones, Bombardons, and his new and beautiful toned instrument, the Saxophone. They have made such arrangements with M. Sax (to whom was awarded the only Council Medal for Mili-ary Instruments at the Great Exhibition) as will enable them to supply his Instruments direct from his own manufactory, at prices not higher than those charged for the numerous imitations of them. The security and advantages thus afforded will be obvious. M. Sax's Instruments, among which are several new models, may be seen at Rudall, Rose, and Carte's, 100, New Bond Street. Messrs. 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 repre sented, 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 reputa tion 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 busines-, by promoting the sale of many instruments which are a 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 Connoisseurs, but with Amateurs. We shall hus be rendering a great service to the Musical Art, and to ourselves at the same time. Accept, Gentlemen, my warm salutations, BOOSE'S NEW PATENT MODEL CORNET-A-PISTON PRICE SEVEN GUINEAS.-This Instrument may be taken to pieces and placed in the pocket.

THE departure of this eminent musician and critic is fixed for to-day, his duties in Paris not permitting him a longer absence. The grand concert, which was to have been given under his name, and for his benefit, at Exeter Hall, has, therefore, been abandoned. As whatever relates to Hector Berlioz must be a matter of interest to those who admire and respect the highest and sincerest qualities of an artist, we shall not hesitate to make public a fact connected with the concert that should have taken place, but is now given up-a fact which confers credit on the committee who combined for the purpose of organizing it, and upon those who came forward spontaneously, as patrons and supporters. We cannot do this better than by publishing a translated extract from a letter which we have received from Hector Berlioz himself. "My dear "The concert cannot take place. The gentlemen of the committee, organized to get it up, have conceived the delicate, charming, and generous idea of devoting the sum realised by the subscription opened for the concert to the requisition of the score of my Faust, which will be published, with English text, under the superintendence of Beale, and other members of the committee. It would be impossible to be more cordial and artist-like at the same time; and I rejoice at the result of the performance at Covent Garden, since it has been the cause of a demonstration so sympathetic, intelligent, and worthily expressed. Give all the publicity in your power to this manifestation; you will render justice to your compatriots, and, at the same time, confer a very great pleasure on "Yours, &c., "HECTOR BERLIOZ." After a short stay at Paris, Berlioz will leave for BadenBaden, where he is engaged to direct a musical performance on a grand scale, which will take place in the middle of August. The whole of Romeo and Juliet will be executed. Sophie Cruvelli, and her sister Marie, are also engaged; so that the "solemnity" will be one of irresistible attraction. Vivier, and his enchanted horn, alone are wanted to render it complete. Vivier, however-who has, for some months past, withdrawn himself from society, for the purpose of serious and uninterrupted study-has resolved to try his fortune in America. Il a raison. Vivier a toujours raison. His success in the United States is certain. EMILE PRUDENT. THE third season of this eminent pianist has established him as a favourite in this over-crowded city. Emile Prudent may now be considered a fixture-or rather as a periodical Price Fourpence. Stamped Fivepenoe. visitor, since he cannot at present afford to relinquish the numerous engagements in Paris and other of the great cities of France. Emile Prudent has played no less than nine times in public. At the grand concert by Mad. Puzzi (Hanover Square), at the 4th concert by the New Philharmonic (Exeter Hall), at the fashionable and aristocratic matinée musicale of Mdlle. Anichini, at the last concert of the Harmonic Union (Exeter Hall), at the matinée of Mad. Mortier de Fontaine (Beethoven Rooms), at the Philharmonic Society in Dublin, at the matinée of M. Poignet, the violoncellist, at the benefit of Sig. Puzzi (Drury Lane Theatre), at the brilliant matinée of Mrs. Macdonnel, and at a great number of matinées and soirees in the private residences of the aristocracy and gentry. Emile Prudent has performed his most popular compositions (La Chasse, le Reveil des Feés, le Retour du Berger, the Sonnambula, &c.) with invariable and distinguished success. He will terminate his season, with a coup d'eclat, at the "Testimonial Concert" of Jullien (at Drury Lane) on Monday night. So that, although a veracious corress nut of La France Musicale could hear no news of the whereabouts and whatabouts of the eminent pianist, the public and the élite of musical society, avait tous les jours de ses nouvelles. MADAME DORIA. THIS lady, who came forward in the winter, with so little pretence, at the "Musical Winter Evenings," with which the Director of the Musical Union enlivened his patrons during the dark season, has been gradually and surely making her way in public favour. At the present time Madame Doria is undoubtedly one of those singers whose name adds the greatest attraction to the concert room. It is not her eminently prepossessing appearance and her surpassingly beautiful voice alone that constitute her claims to applause and consideration. The rapid and marked progress she is making as a vocalist can hardly have escaped observation. There is a certain style of music (Italian, Hungarian, French, and even English,) which few can sing more effectively than Madame Doria, and to this she owes her gradually increasing popularity, and her numerous engagements, not only in public, but at the private concerts of the nobility. We have little doubt, indeed, that Maria Doria will be among the chief vocal attractions at the approaching festivals in Gloucester and Bradford. singers are not so plentiful now, that a new one of such talent and attractions as Madame Doria can possibly be overlooked.
