"THE VILLAGE QUADRILLES."—" THE TRENTHAM QUADRILLES."
By George Simpson: D'Almaine and Co.
The first of these dances is inscribed to the young ladies of the
Misses Ratcliff's Establishment, Betley, Staffordshire, and are well
adapted for them, being easily written and pleasing. A want of
variety is their only fault.

"The Trentham Quadrilles are more ambitious. They were written on the occasion of the Marquis of Stafford attaining his majority-December 19th, 1849-and dedicated, by permission, to the Duchess of Sutherland. The first figure bears a strong resemblance to one in Henri Herz's celebrated Quadrille, "Les Eleganst," which will be at once recognised. Nor is number two perfectly original. If we mistake not, its prototype will be found in number two of the "Post Quadrille." The set, however, is an excellent one, and worth the dancing and the purchase.

M. Mudie. R. Mills.

Mr. Mudie has presented us with a most graceful and genuinely expressive ballad. It is soft and quiet as a dove, and simple withal, as such a song need to be. The accompaniments are very easy, but highly attractive, and indicate the felicity and tact of the accomplished musician's pen. With an eye to business, Mr. Mudie has set his song so as to bring it within compass of ordinary voices. Here is a recommendation. The "Dew-drop," if heard, cannot fail to become popular.

the Quintet Association, of the New Philharmonic Society, and elsewhere, have crowned her name with no ordinary amount of professional glory, and provincial appreciation would follow as a matter of course. The music which she chose for performance on Monday was calculated to place her ability in a variety of interesting lights, and confirm those eulogies with which metropolitan criticism, when 'Arabella Goddard' has been the topic, has abounded. Let it at once be stated that she made no appeal to a common order of taste. The variety to which we allude was the variety upon which genius has put its seal. The Thalberg studies undertaken in her earlier pupillage enabled Miss Goddard to attack and realize music of the most intricate and difficult kind, to meet any class of practical exigency, and to exhibit, in short, that ultra-discipline of finger which few attain, but which is indispensable to the formation of a great player. These preparatory exercises are now turned to their proper account. Miss Arabella Goddard, with these superb mechanical foundations, is admirably qualified to be the exponent of the higher orders of classical music-the domains of the art to which she has exclusively devoted her attention, and upon her elucidation of which her present lofty renown is mainly based. Beethoven shines in his true effulgence under her hand, for with unrivalled mechanism she the enrapt poetry of the author, and the clearest perception of its unites the greatest delicacy of feeling, the keenest sympathy with

Our rhyming age is paradoxical. ments of finger, and the young artist rose from her seat with the sincere homage of the connoisseur. Stephen Heller's fantasia "On Song's bright pinions," which she afterwards performed, was loudly encored. The designation fantasia must not be misunderstood in connection with the charming morceau, for it is a veritable “ Lied ohne wörte," quite worthy of Mendelssohn, and replete with those ingenuities of device, those felicities of idea, which characterize the compositions of this class which emanated from the pen of the great master. The audience were ravished by the skill with which Miss Goddard developed the melody, and, at the same time, "discoursed" the arpeggio accompaniments upon which it floats with such seeming independence. In the course of the first part, the duet by Parish Alvars and Czerny, on subjects for the Anna Bolena and Sonnambula, sufficiently showy for popular tastes, and sufficiently clever to invite the good word of the initiated, was performed by Miss Goddard, in conjunction with Mr. T. H. Wright, the well-known harpist, who on this occasion maintained his credit, and provoked applause. Miss Goddard's fourth performance was with Mr. Hausmann, the violoncellist; a fine reading of Mendelssohn's exquisite sonata in D, by these two artists, terminating the concert with great eclât. Of the remaining features of the scheme we can but briefly speak. The principal vocalist of the morning was Madame Doria, whose broad and passionate energy and bold dramatic style, were strongly proclaimed in the "Casta Diva" of Bellini, the "Ah se tu dormi" of Vaccaj, and the “Bel raggio" of Rossini, three soprano cavatinas demanding the best bravura executancy to avoid the damaging comparisons which the narrowest experience in the London concert-room would inevitably suggest. Miss Ursula Barclay was also engaged, and sang one of Molique's Lieder-"If o'er the boundless sky," very neatly, her most promising vocal effort being a MS. song by Mr. T. H. Wright, "Tis sweet to have a gentle flower," which suited to her voice, and possessing a pleasing melody, ensured both gratification and applause. This same young lady also sang a graceful ballad, by Mr. Henry Smart, "The old love and the new," with undeniable taste and expression. Besides Mr. T. H. Wright and Mr. Hausmann, who each had solos, in addition to the "National airs,” duets with Miss Arabella Goddard, the former on and the latter on the "Elisir" of Donizetti. Mr. George Case played a pair of fantasias on the concertina, over the capabilities of which we need not now remark he has a very consummate mastery. The vocalisms were accompanied on the pianoforte by Mr. T. H. Wright.

"A PLACE IN THY MEMORY, DEAREST." Words by the late
GERALD GRIFFIN. Music by J. F. Leeson. Dedicated to his
friend Silas Wood. Hime and Addison, Manchester; Hime and
Son, Liverpool; Addison and Hollier, London.
Gerald Griffin's is a great name, and his poetry is full of sweet-
ness and grace. The lines in the above song are taken, if we
mistake not, from "The Collegians," one of the most exciting and
graphic of Irish novels. They have been set before by some
ballad composer, whose name we cannot at this moment recall,
and with good effect, as "A Place in thy Memory Dearest,"
became a well-liked and sought after ballad. It is a pity Mr. J. F.
Leeson did not choose words previously unused.

The music is pleasing and grateful; but the resemblance in the opening bars to the trio, "O nume benefico," from Rossini's Gazza Ladra, is too evident. This, however, may have been purely

accidental.

The song altogether may be recommended, as being well written, vocal, and very attractive.

Provincial.

BRIGHTON.-(From our own Correspondent.)—The indefatigable Mr. Frederick Wright gave a second morning concert at the Pavilion Music Room, on Monday last, the attendance at which was fashionable rather than numerous. The usual liberality of the entrepreneur was manifest upon the occasion, and the selection of music was not only good in quality, but artists of fame and ability were engaged to give the réunion prestige and interest. The instrumental star of the matinée was Miss Arabella Goddard. This young lady, one of the most accomplished pianists in the world, played some four or five years ago at the Newburgh Rooms, when the talent which so eminently distinguishes her was beginning to unfold itself; consequently her visit to Brighton was not that of a stranger. To descant now upon the merits of this gifted artist would be superfluous. Her triumphs last year at the concerts of I

PLYMOUTH. (From our own Correspondent.)--Palgrave Simpson's drama of Marco Spada has made a decided hit; indeed, the

manner in which Mr. Newcombe has put it on the stage, with new and correct scenery, appointments by Bradwell of the Lyceum, and costumes in every respect as at the Princess's-where this drama was first produced-would alone entitle it to success, without the merits of the piece, which are of the highest order. The Baron di Torreda, by Mr. T. Mead, was ably acted throughout, and Mr. Newcombe as Count Pepinelli, Captain of Dragoons, was excellent; Miss E. Mills, as Andrea, displayed much pathos, and the incidental music, composed and arranged by Mr. William Reed, was highly effective. Mr. Craven and Miss Eliza Nelson appeared in a piece written by Mr. Craven called Tic Doloreux; they have established themselves as great favourites, and Mr. Craven is a dramatic writer of much merit. Miss Eliza Nelson sings her ballads delightfully; this lady, if possible, increases nightly in popularity, and most deservedly so, for in her particular line she is first rate, her voice is pure and of good quality, and she has the advantage of a first rate orchestra, conducted by Mr. Henry Reed.

concert will be heid on Thursday the 6th October, when Mr. Sowler will occupy the chair.-(Manchester Courier.)

IBID. After closing on Saturday week, the Theatre Royal re opened on Saturday last, for the winter season. The performances introduced us, among other "old familiar faces," to Mr. A. Harris, whose presence as stage superintendent is always a goodly presage. A debutante also, under the name of Miss Grey, is added to the company, who promises well. This we understand, is her first pleasing features; and she possesses a manner, as well as elocution, season upon any stage. Miss Grey is tall, of good figure, with which indicates a previous familiarity with good society. On Monday evening, Mr. C. Mathews made his appearance in a farce called Not a Bad Judge, assuming the part of " physiognomist,-the principal object of the piece apparently being Lavater," the to show that he took his prescience less from facial expression than a close observation of casual circumstances surrounding those whose characters he would read. By this means he bewilders a certain foolish burgomaster, and subverts the schemes of an ad. venturer, who, under the disguise of the "Marquis de Treval," has become the affianced of the daughter of "Count de Steinberg," the friend of "Lavater." The make-up of Mathews was admirable, and equally talented the acting, reminding those who have frequented the French theatres of the finished pictures presented by the leading actors of Paris. Of course the part forbad the introduction of that rich eccentricity with which the name of Mathews is more immediately associated, but it possessed a certain humour nevertheless, and its truth told upon every portion of the audience, from dress-circle to gallery. Miss Grey again appeared in a small part, "Louise," and evidently made a favourable impression in spite of that timidity which the novelty of her position will for a time more or less induce. Mr. J. Wood made a good deal of a small part as the "Burgomaster."—(Manchester Examiner.

MANCHESTER.-The opening meeting of the Gentlemen's Glee Club for the season was held on Thursday evening, at the Albion Hotel, Piccadilly. Owing to the unfavourableness of the weather, the room was not so well filled as on former occasions. In the absence of Mr. Barlow, the musical conductor of the club, suddenly called away to London by the death of a relative, Mr. Loder, of the Theatre Royal, officiated as accompanist. The choir mustered strong. The Misses Sudlow, Masters Gee, Bradshaw, Benson, Ashworth, and Popplewell; Messrs. Edmondson, Standage, Vaughan, Perring, Slater, Bednal, Walton, Phillips, Isherwood, Sheldrick, Smith, and Craig, with several amateurs, took part in the choruses and other pieces. We were pleased to see the venerable and much respected librarian of the Concert Hall, Mr. John Waddington, Sen., among them. The programme was made up of light and frivolous compositions. The concert opened with the National Anthem. The first glee, Bishop's "Hark! Apollo strikes the lyre," passed off with spirit. The trio by Horsley, "When shall we three meet again?" seemed to lack repose. Stafford Smith's "While fools their time," did not afford us the usual gratification. A trivial piece, "Had I a boat," sung by Misses Sudlow and Mr. Delavanti, served to give zest for the chorus "Oh! the forester's life," written by our townsman, Mr. Hime. We have rarely been more pleased with this merry trolling hunting song, and the hearty manner in which it was given called forth a most unanimous encore. A little bagatelle, "Twine, ye roses," from the Orpheus collection of German glees, was un-Song-"The Tear" worthy a place at this club. "The chough and crow," closed the Glee" When Damon is present" first part. A piece of lovely choral harmony, selected from the Orpheus collection, "Flowers and fragrance rise from the ground," opened the second part, followed by a gem from the pen of the talented and much-respected organist of St. Paul's, Westminster, John Goss. "There is beauty on the mountains" will bear frequent repetition. Leeson's glee "This life is what we make it," will always be a favourite. "Though he be now a grey friar," from Bishop's Maid Marian reminds us of his solo and chorus from the same opera "O! bold Robin Hood." The little unpretending chorale "Now pray we for our country," never fails to receive a welcome at this club. Mr. Barlow's forces are under admirable discipline and at all times do him much credit. Perhaps the best glee during the whole evening was "Ye spotted snakes," sung by Misses Sudlow, Messrs. Phillips and Sheldrick. The concert closed with Loder's glee, "Good night, all's well!" which was given by the whole of the choir with faultless precision; the melody, which is sustained by alto or first tenor, is simple and enchanting, and haunts the ear for days after once heard this piece, on better acquaintance, will become widely popular with our glee clubs and other convivial societies. It was loudly re-demanded, and seemed to give the highest gratification to all present. The chairman, W. C. Cruttenden, Esq., in introducing it, took occasion to refer to the services rendered by Mr. Loder that evening, as also the high state of efficiency attained by the choir. After supper, the toast of "The Strangers was responded to by Captain Brown, of the Royal Fusileers; after which, songs, glees, &c. were given by Mr. Perring, Mr. Delavanti, and others, which kept up the meeting until the usual hour for separating.

Miscellaneous.

MISS EMMA SANGER, late of Her Majesty's Theatre, is fulfilling an engagement at the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, with the greatest success.

ALL the places in the boxes, for Grisi and Mario's concert, who are engaged by Mr. Newcombe, at the Theatre Royal, Plymouth, are already taken, and the pit is to be converted into stalls.

MR. EMANUEL AGUILAR, the talented pianist and composer, is sojourning at Brighton for a short period. We hope to have the pleasure of hearing him play at some of the fashionable concerts.

A private entertainment was given last Thursday afternoon, at the Newburgh Rooms, Brighton, for the purpose of introducing a newly-invented instrument, called the "Musical Harmonium." It is an instrument which takes up but small space in a room; the tone partakes of the quality of an organ, and notwithstanding a body of tone can be produced sufficiently loud for a large room, it may be subdued to suit the drawing-room. Madame Sievres played some pieces effectively; the most interesting performance was a duet with the harmonium and piano, performed by Madame Sievres alone, the harmonium with the right hand, and the piano with the left. It had a novel effect; the duet was cleverly played. Madame Sievres was assisted by Signor Cimino, Madame D'Egville Michatt, and Mr. Cramer. The latter treated the audience with one of his effective solos, and gained great applause.

MR. EDWARD SCHULTZ, the talented pianist, is at Brighton, whence he intends proceeding to the Isle of Wight, previous to his return to town for the season.

MR. EDWARD TURNER, the talented vocalist, formerly a pupil of Mr. Clement White, is at Brighton, professionally engaged at the theatre, where he has already become a deserved favourite.

Why should he stop here? why not thoroughly drain the subject? why not fathom it in all its depths, until he has not left a drop of water that can be sounded, or out of which any sound can be got, by any other composer? In our liberality, we beg to suggest a few subjects for him.

The music of the various dances is pleasing and lively; but we like the valse best, as it is exceedingly spirited, and the tune well-marked. Plain directions for the due performance of the dance will be given with the music. "When the Moon is brightly shining," is a new tenor song, which last week created a great sensation at the Bradford Festival, where it was admirably sung by Mr. Sims Reeves. Like everything from the pen of its composer, the great violinist, Molique, this song is remarkable for fluent grace and pleasing melody, though many who only admire namby-pamby songs, think it deficient in tune. However, Molique could not be vulgar, if he wished; and this, his last composition, will task the artistic powers of the vocalist more than the mere voice. "When the Moon is brightly shining," is published by Wessel and Co., the well-known German and classical music-publishers, of Regent Street, London.

And when the subject of rain-water is fairly pumped out, there are all the other atmospheric changes, of which our climate offers such a tempting variety, and some of which must surely contain a few of the elements of success. We scarcely know which are the most ridiculous-the titles that are given now-a-days to new shirts, or the subjects that are chosen, as the sources of inspiration, by our musical composers.

BLEWITT.-On Sunday week, in the burial ground of St. Pancras, the earth closed over the remains of poor John Blewitt, the composer, who, for more than half a century, has provided the lovers of light music with compositions; many of those brought forth during his latter years being, we fear, the produce of life, surrounded him with the horrors of poverty, aggravated by anything but a light heart; for adversity had, in the decline of his a painful internal disease, from which he suffered excruciating agony for many years. He continued, notwithstanding, till within a few weeks of his death, to throw off the merriest of tunes for the music-publishers, and after having, for twenty-five years, provided the Christmas pantomime music for the principal London theatres-a branch of the art in which he peculiarly excelled-he showed, in the last Drury Lane pantomime of Harlequin Hudibras that his gaiety was exuberant, and his invention as fertile as ever. To Blewitt we are indebted for the airs of many of our popular comic songs and Hibernian ditties, amongst which latter the never-to-be-forgotten "Barney Brallaghan" may be mentioned as having brought a fortune to the singer, without realising a sixpence for the composer. At the glee-clubs his compositions generally carried off the prize, and as musical director of Vauxhall Gardens, and more recently as a pianist, accompanying Mr. Templeton in his vocal entertainments, his talent was always recognised. As PERSONS desirous of Investing Money, are requested to examine the composer of upwards of two thousand original pieces of music, John Blewitt deserved at least a competency for his old age; but, unfortunately, he has left a widow and two daughters without the slightest means of support. Those who feel disposed to afford assistance to the afflicted family, will not deem it irrelevant to
