nians." This is but the echo of our own complaint. Again, "In others we find hired singers flourishing and making a display of their voices in opera airs, fixed over for church occasions." This, he thinks the greater evil of the two; and "this," it seems, "is the horror of foreign music," at which we are said to laugh. If this be it, well may we laugh at it; for who are the arrangers and fixers up of opera airs for church occasions?-who are the chief sinners and authors of this sort of abominations? Who but the native psalm-book makers, who ransack all the operas and classics of the Art, to find bits of melody and harmony, which they may cut and mould and twist into the shape of psalm-tunes, to fill out their "Collections," and to persuade the ignorant public that they are spreading all the riches of Mozart and Beethoven or (what is more often to their purpose) of Rossini, Donnizetti, and Verdi, before their prurient appetites for musical novelties? We mean by the " foreign music," which we defend, the real music of good masters, in its original and lawful form, unaltered, uncurtailed, and unarranged by sacrilegious hands into New England "parcels to suit purchasers." We like a Mass, a Gloria, a Benedictus, a Motet, a Hymn of Palestrina, Mozart, Mendelssohn, &c., in its original, unaltered form; but our psalm-book makers give you Batti, batti, Zerlani's sweet, coquettish melody, "fixed" into a psalm-tune, and tell you that you hold in your hands a new and altogether transcendent collection of sacred music, much of which is by the great masters, such as Mozart! In conclusion, we have only room now to say that we do not wish to be understood as "shaking our sides over the whole tribe of psalm-singers," as if no good could come out of Nazareth; that we do not condemn or laugh without discrimination, as if all who make or collect psalm-tunes were necessarily guilty of "the unpardonable sin;" that we share in our friend's respect for Zeuner's "Ancient Lyre," to which favourable allusion has been more than once made in these columns; and that we mean soon to sketch out our ideal of what we think might be a good system of church music, in which the choral, or plain psalm, in all its simplicity and with its time-hallowed associations, should bear its part. CARDINAL WISEMAN'S LECTURE. The ["In the spring of 1852," says the Manchester Examiner, "an association was formed by the Catholics of Manchester and Salford, to raise funds for the education of the poor. Committee, in aid of this purpose, invited Cardinal Wiseman to deliver an address upon some literary subject of general popular interest. Accordingly on the 28th of April last, in the Corn Exchange, Manchester, his Eminence spoke for three hours, as follows. We know not that we have ever read anything so calculated to inspire the true sentiment of Art among the working people. Those who are interested in the establishment of Schools of Design in our country, could not ask a better presentation of the importance of their cause."] Ladies and gentlemen, I ought certainly to commence my address to you by thanking you for the extremely kind manner in which you have been pleased to receive me, but I feel that I must not waste your time in mere expressions of a personal character, feeling rather that I shall have to tax your time and your attention to a considerable extent. I will, therefore, enter at once upon the proposed subject of my address, which has already been communicated to you by my old and excellent friend, the Bishop of Salford. And I am sure I need not say, for he already has well expressed it to you, that it is a topic which at this moment has engaged its full share of public attention, as drawing to itself the interest of all the educated classes, and is in fact a topic connected with important influence not only on our social, but likewise on our moral progress. While I wish, however, to escape from the tediousness of a long introduction, I feel that I shall be naturally expected to say a few words on the motives which have induced me to select this particular topic for the city of Manchester. I must be conscious, and it must be obvious also to many, that there are present persons who are much more able to instruct me upon such a subject than I can pretend to be to instruct them. There are persons to whom the topics and the questions connected with my subject have not been merely a matter of recreation and pleasurable pursuit, but a subject of earnest study--the occupation perhaps of their lives, and a duty to themselves Now, gentlemen, were I to come here and their families. with a pretence that I could give you any instruction upon practical matters connected with the great business of this city; did I presume to assert that I was going to give you for instance-which were new to you all--I certainly should some information regarding the details of the productive art, deserve to be received with anything but that kind indulgence deserve to be received with anything but that kind indulgence which you have already forestalled me, and which I feel you are disposed to extend to me. I should deserve to be treated who, Pliny tells us, was in the habit of visiting the studio of as was a much greater personage of old-the Emperor Alexander, the celebrated Apelles. When on one occasion he began to discourse with that great artist concerning his profession, Apelles, with that frankness which was the privilege of so eminent a man, said to the Emperor, "Hush! If you continue to speak that way, my very colour-grinders will laugh at you." And if I did not receive quite so strong a demonstration of disapprobation, I might expect some within themselves to think of me as Hannibal did of that old philosopher, who promised to give a lecture in his presence on the science of war. I come, therefore, with no such pretensions as these. I have come before you as one who has passed many years in contact and familiarity with Art-who has been, perhaps, no negligent observer of what occupies the public attention-who has endeavoured to master a topic, the influence of which he sees to be so important upon a class in which he might feel the greatest interest-namely, the poor-whom it is his duty to assist in educating, and more and more feels that he has a right, and perhaps even a duty to claim indulgence, and to communicate whatever he feels that he is prompted to speak, with the highest and best of motives-the desire of being beneficial to his fellow-creatures. (Lond applause.) The topic on which I have to address you, then, is the connection or relation between the arts of production and the arts of design. By the Arts of Production, I mean naturally those arts by which what is but a raw material assumes a form, a shape, a new existence, adapted for some necessity or some use in the many wants of life. Such is pottery, such is carving in its various branches, whether applied to wood or to stone; such is the working of metals, whether of gold, or silver, or brass, or iron; such is the production of textile matters-of objects of whatever sort and for whatever purposes; such is construction in its different branches, commencing with the smallest piece of furniture, and ascending to a great and majestic-edifice. By the Arts of Design, I understand those which represent nature to us in any form, or which bring before us beauty, whether in form or in colour. Now those arts ought, as every one agrees, to be in close harmony one with the other; but that harmony which I wish to establish between them must be an honourable union, an equal compact, a noble league. There is not to be one the servant and the other the master; each must be aware of the advantages which it can receive as well as those which it can confer. Thus the arts, for instance, of design, will have to give elegance of form, grace of outline, beauty of ornament, to that which is produced by the other class of arts; and they in their turn have to transmit, and multiply, and perpetuate the creations of the arts of design. Now it is agreed on all hands that as yet this complete harmony does not exist; that we have far from arrived at that mutual application of the one class to the other, which gives us a satisfactory result. It is unnecessary, I believe, to bring evidence of this. As we proceed, I trust that opportunities will present themselves of bringing before you authorities enough for that assertion. But I may say at the very outset, that the report which is published by the department of Practical Art, is almost based upon the acknowledgment that as yet we have not attained that application of the arts of design to the arts of production which we desire, and which is most desirable to the arts of production to obtain. It acknowledges the existence of a necessity for much more instruction than has yet been given. It allows that for several years-thirteen years, at least-of the existence of schools of design, they have not been found fully to attain their purpose, and a new organization and a new system has now begun to be adopted. No one can appreciate, I trust, more than I am inclined to do myself, the advantages which must result from the multiplication of these schools of design as applied to manufactories, and other great improvements which they have already begun to confer, and will continue, no doubt, still more to bestow upon the industrial classes. I believe it most important to propagate to the utmost the love of Science-the love of Art. I believe it most useful to accustom every child even to its first rudiments, its elementary states. I think that if we can make drawing a part of universal education, a great deal will be gained. But this, certainly, cannot be enough. I am willing to grant that we shall have a great improvement upon what we have produced in the form of Art. I believe that we shall see better designers-men with better imaginations-men who understand the harmony and combination of colours better, and who can give to the artisans patterns which will greatly improve every department of our industry. But, I ask, is that sufficient Will this bring Art up to what we desire? This is the great question. This is the subject of which I am going to treat. It appears to me that there is a very simple mode of looking at it, and it is the one, consequently, which I shall adopt. It is a question partly of experience. It is a lesson much of which history can teach us, and I desire to bring before you such facts as seem to me to bear upon the question, and to enable us to come to a practical and satisfactory conclusion. (Applause.) I will endeavour to state the question under a very simple, but perhaps it may appear not a very practical form. (To le continued.) Provincial, BRADFORD. The performance of the second oratorio-Isaiah— composed by Mr. Jackson, of Marsham, now resident at Bradford, attracted a crowded audience to St. George's Hall, on Monday night. The bulk of the audience had enjoyed, at the recent festival, perfect performances of the finest oratorio music by foreign and ancicat composers, with a band which has seldom been equalled, and a chorus which proved itself to be more than equal even to the German choirs. Mr. Jackson had, therefore, an audience whose tastes had been satisfied with the highest and best music. Nor is it a slight test of the merits of a composition to have it performed by a band and chorus, numbering no less than 250 performers. That strength which increases the grandeur of a chorus or fugue, great in conception and masterly in execution, only demonstrates the feebleness of anything puerile or secondrate. But quite as great as the trial to which the new oratorio was exposed on Monday night, was Mr. Jackson's success. The overture was not well performed. This was a drawback, as Mr. Jackson's instrumentation is varied with "conversational." Mr. Phillips lacked fire in the Baalitish recitatives and songs; but the choruses, "Clash the cymbals" and "Shout ye abroad their names," were finely given. The music in this part of the oratorio is lighter than belongs to oratorio music generally. But Mr. Jackson in making distinction betwixt heathen worship and Israelitish deis warranted by the examples of Handel, Mendelssohn, and Spohr, votion. The air, "Hail, Astarte," was sung (with alterations to suit her voice) by Mrs. Lockey. Mr. Perring did not sing the air, "Oh! Israel, hast thou then forgot?" as well as at Leeds. The air, "Ah, sinful nation," was finely sung by Mrs. Sunderland, the flute accompaniment by Mr. Saynor. The overture to the second part, including a fugue, was excellently played. The air, "Seek ye the Lord," was sung by Mr. Perring. The terzetto, by Mrs. Sunderland, Mrs. Lockey, and Mr. Perring, was encored. "The Lord shall comfort Zion" (for soprano, contralto, and tener, So was the song, "Seek ye the Lord;" and also an aria, by Mrs. Sunderland, "Come now, let us reason, and a contralto song, composed expressly by Mr. Jackson, for Mrs. Lockey, to the words, "Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts." The bass air. "As the heart panteth," was chastely sung by Mr. Phillips, who. however, lacked power. The next chorus, "In the Lord Jehovah," concludes with a fugue, and would have been encored (at the request of the Mayor), had the hour been earlier. The meso prano solo and chorus, "Oh, Lord, I will praise thee," was chastely sung. In the bravura air, "Oh let the nations rejoice." Mrs. Sunderland exhibited unabated energy. The duet, "Ther shall the earth bring forth her increase," lost some of its effect by the want of power in the bass. In the concluding chorus. "The Lord shall reign for ever," an agreeable relief was afforded by the duet sung by Mrs. Sunderland, and Mrs. Lockey. The whole concluded with a short and simple Hallelujah." Throughout the evening the performance of the chorus was admirable, particularly in the piano passages, and in the chorus, " Behold, O God, thou art very wroth." Many additional effects were given by the organ, which separate part was composed for this occasion by Mr. Jackson. was played by Mr. Clayton, and for which : The band was led by Mr. Scholey. Mr. Jackson himself conducted, and received a warm greeting from the band and chorus, cn entering the orchestra, which was echoed at the conclusion of the oratorio by the audience. From the Halifax Guardian. LIVERPOOL.-Last evening the members of the Ecclesiastical Musical Society gave their first open performance at the Phil harmonic Hall, and, on this occasion, in addition to the musical illustrations, a paper on music was read by the Rev. Augustas Campbell, M.A., rector of Liverpool, which is to be published as a pamphlet. It is necessary to say that the musical conductor is William Sudlow, Esq., and the organist W. B. Rogers, Esq., each of whom occupied their proper places during the evening. The music performed was as follows:-Chorale: Words from Bishop Mant's versification of the 145th psalm, J. Sebastian Bach; the 37th psalm, Luther; the 89th psalm, Luther. Anthem: "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel," Purcell. Anthem: "Lord, for thy tender mercy's sake," Farrant. Anthem: 1st John, xiv. chap.. 15, 16, 17 verses, Tallis. Sanctus and Kyrie, in F, Orlando Gibbons. Anthem: Luke, xv. chap., 18, 19 verses, Creighton. An them: Psalm lxv.) 1, 2 verses, S. Wesley. Evening hymn, Tallis Sonata, No. 4: organ, Mendelssohn. The body of the hall was devoted to the use of the audience, the attendance being numerous and respectable. The performance of the different pieces was creditable to the Society, and such as to lead to the belief that in time it will become fruitful in its progress.-Liverpool Courier. IBID. TESTIMONIAL CONCERT TO MR. W. SUDLOW.-To the ardent love of music manifested by Mr. William Sudlow, and to his untiring Mr. MISS DOLBY'S SOIREES MUSICALES.-(From a Correspondent.) We did not notice the first of Miss Dolby's meetings (on the 15th ultimo), as the programme offered nothing to call for particular record; but to make amends for the scanty material provided at the first soiree, Miss Dolby afforded her friends a pleasing selection at the second seance on Tuesday Evening last. The Concert opened with the quartet from Tancredi, "Ah se giusto," nicely sung by Miss Messent, Miss Barkley, Mr Benson, and Mr. Walter Bolton. Miss Messent then sang Handel's beautiful air, "Lascio chis piauja" which was succeeded by Miss Dolby in Mozart's 'Per pieta'-a fine piece of singing. Following this scena Mr. Sterndale Bennett and Mr. Lucas played Mendelssohn's duet for pianoforte and violoncello, with a thorough conception of the intentions of the composer. A pretty song by Hatton, "I love all things the seasons bring," well sung by Mr. Benson, was succeeded by a MS. Fantasia for voice and pianoforte, the composition of Mr. Stoper, called "The Lady and the Nightingale." The voice part was sustained by Miss Dolby, Mr. Sloper himself being at the pianoforte. Both words and music are extremely quaint and well fitted to each other, The first part of the concert was brought to a conclusion by Mr. Sterndale Bennett's interpretation of part of his own compositions: The Capriccio in A minor No. 3, from his op. 28, and the theme were some candidates new to fame: Signor Paggi, who played an air with variations for the Flute; and Madame De Barry, who played a fantasia on airs from Lucrezia Borgia, for the pianoforte. We shall be glad to meet these artistes on a future occasion, when their styles are individually more matured, and counsel another debutant, Mr. Walter Bolton, that if he pursue his studies sedulously at the Academy, he has a prospect of doing well.

The following artistes appeared:-Missted for showing his capabilities to the best advantage. Praise is Stabbach, Miss Clara Henderson, Mr. Seymour, and Mr. Lawler, due to Miss Ursula Barclay for the manner in which she sang Mr. together with a highly trained orchestra, under Mr. Duffell. The Sterndale Bennett's beautiful song, "To Chloe in sickness; concert opened with the overture to Nebucan Doser, "Verdi," also, with Miss Dolby and Mr. Benson, sang clever trio by Mr. very nicely rendered by the band. Miss Clara Henderson sang the Heary Leslie, 'Oh memory,' and Cimarosa's trio "Oh dolce e coro songs allotted to her with great precision. Mr. Seymour was equally istante," which concluded the concert. We should have stated, successful in his arias, &c. Miss Stabbach sang Weber's "Softly however, that Miss Dolby sang two extra songs, "Oh, Bay of DubSighs" with splendid effect, her full rich toned voice showing itself lin," and "Repentance," in a style peculiary her own. off to great advantage in this most difficult of all songs; she likewise gave a new ballad, "My own dear Home," with thrilling pathos, and was encored. Mr. Lawler gave "The Lads of the Village" and other songs, as only Mr. Lawler can.

This graceful manner of recognising the talents and services of their honorary secretary is exceedingly creditable to all connected with the Philharmonic Society, and we feel assured that the public will gladly assist them in their endeavour to "give honour to whom honour is due." IBID. Mr. J. Hallett Sheppard's Organ Performances.-The second of these came off last Saturday afternoon. The following was the selection:-Sonata, No. 3, Mendelssohn; Larghetto, Sphor; Aria, "O, rest in the Lord," Mendelssohn; Adagio and Fugue (D maj.) J. H. Sheppard. Part II.-Prelude and Fugue, (E maj.) Bach; March, (Zauberflote,) Mozart; Chorus, “Be not afraid," Mendelssohn; Andante Cantabile, Beethoven; Overture, (William Tell) Rossini. Mendelssohn's third sonata was rendered by Mr. J. H. Sheppard in a manner highly creditable to him. BIRMINGHAM.-A performance of The Messiah will take place in the Town-Hall, Birmingham, on Thursday next, for the benefit of the widow of the late Mr. John Moreton, a gentleman well known and much respected. We have no doubt our Birmingham friends will heartily respond to the call. The following ladies and gentlemen will assist upon the occasion: -Miss Phillips (daughter of the celebrated Henry Phillips, Esq., her first appearance in Birmingham); Mrs. Bull; Mrs. Wight (her first appearance in Birming-with variations in E major from his op. 31. In the second part ham); Mr. Baker; Mr. Culwick (from the Cathedral, Lichfield); Mr. W. C. Gough (from the Cathedral, Canterbury); and Mr. Lawler (of the Exeter Hall Oratorios); Leader, Mr. H.

The Band and Chorus will be upon an entensive scale, the various Members of the Musical profession having generously volunteered their aid for the occasion. Miscellaneous. BEETHOVEN ROOMS, QUEEN ANNE-STREET.-Mr. George R. Cooke, a pianist and organist of reputation, gave a concert at this locale on Thursday evening last-Mr. Cooke is an executant of the classical school, which he fully developed in his interpretation of the pianoforte part of one of Mozart's Quartets and a trio of Hummel's, in conjunction with Messrs. Le Jeune, Jolly and Pettit; he likewise in Schulhoff's Grand Galop di Bravura displayed his dexterity as an executant of the modern bravura style, his touch and tone were greatly admired. He was admirally supported in the vocal portion of the concert by Miss Stabbach, Messrs. Parris and Walworth, the former young lady in M. Augustus Duke's new she The concluding soiree will take place on Tuesday the 13th inst. (Our correspondent is mistaken, Miss Dolby's first soiree was noticed in the Musical World. D. R.) SOCIETY OF BRITISH MUSICIANS.-A second trial of new works by the members of this society took place on Thursday afternoon. Among other pieces played we may notice a trio by Aguilar, in G minor, for piano, violin, and violoncello, played by the author, with Messrs. Watson and Guest; some vocal pieces by Aguilar, Thirlwall, and Watson, sung by the Misses Wells, and Mr. Suchet Champion. Mr. Charles E. Stephens' Sinfonia, in G minor, will be performed by the Harmonic Union at one of their Concerts. REUNION DES ARTS.-Last Wednesday's Soirée of this Society was well attended, and the programme of the musical arrangement excellent. Herr Gollmick played in conjunction with Messrs. Goffrie, Witt, and Reed, a new Pianoforte Quartet, by V. Lachner, a composition of great merit, and was very well executed; then came several pretty songs by Mdme. Nedden and Sig. Paltoni, and the latter was encored in the comic Song, " Mici Rampolli," from Cenerentola, which he sang with a great deal of humour; then followed a solo for Violin by Signor Fundioli, a new comer, who 66 was much applauded. Mr. L. Sloper in conjunction with Messrs. Goffrie and Reed performed the Grand Trio in E. flat, Op 70, in a masterly manner, and played two little morceaux, a "Bolero" and May Lilies" of his own composition, in exquisite style. The arrangements in the picture rooms were also excellent under the superintendence of Mr. Jensen, and a portrait of his, Mrs. Henslip and child, were much admired; among the other artist exhibitors of paintings we remarked the names of Pickersgill, R.A., C. Landseer, Cope, R.A., Danby, R.A., Lance, Hayter, Cooper, R.A., Zwecker, Fanner, &c., and sculptors, Messrs. Noble, Davis, Bailey, R.A., &c.

CREDAT JUDÆUS!-We were remarking to a gentleman, who was affording us much pleasant and general information, how few Jews one met in New England; and asking if he could assign any reason, he replied: "Oh yes, the reason is, that no Jew on earth is a match for a Yankee."-Bunn's Old England and New England. SAMUEL LOVER'S NEW SONGS, S Sung by Miss Julia Bleaden, in Mr. P. H. Hatch's New MR. HARRIES WILSON'S ENTERTAINMENT.--Among the numerous aspirants to public favour few are more likely to obtain a share of it than Mr. Wilson, who made his debut at the Institution, Edward Street, Portman Square, on Tuesday evening. His enter tainment is called "Mems. of Minstrelsy of Many Lands," in which he introduces Legendary Lyrics, Chants of Chivalry, Songs of Superstition, Gossip about Goblins and Fairies, and Anecdotes of old Times and Customs. Mr. Wilson's enunciation is very distinet, his memory extraordinary, he has plenty of the vis comica, his singing is good, and his pianoforte accompanying unexceptionable; all these qualifications being essentially requisite to a monoloquist of the present day, and the possession of them by Mr. Wilson will be the means of his rapidly acquiring popularity. With respect to the entertainment, which we understand is written, and the music chiefly composed, by the debutant himself, it must be placed in the same category with many of those in which John Parry, Woodin and Harry Lee Carter were so successful. therefore likely to "hit" the public. In the first part the author takes us through "old England." From "old England" we are carried on to Scotland, where the author makes us acquainted with a host of national matters. From Scotland we take a trip over to Ireland, where the first part concludes. The second part of the entertainment brings us to Germany; and Mr. Wilson speaks of many things and legends of interest. In Hungary we are told of the "Magyar Night Fablers and Story Tellers." The song of " Barbe Bleu!" (Bluebeard), which followed, was vociferously encored J. HART, of 14, Princes Street, Soho, begs to inform the Taking into consideration this being Mr. Wilson's first appearance, as author, composer, and interpreter, we recollect few of the kind more promising, or more likely to become popular, than "Mems. and Minstrelsy of Many Lands," which was announced for repetition, amidst the general applause of the audience. It is DALSTON.--A series of promenade concerts, "a la Jullien," have commenced at the Literary Institution, Albion Square, under the able conductorship of Mr. Viotti Collins. The band comprising some well-known names, perform, during the evening, selections from operas, overtures, quadrilles, waltzes, &c. The vocalists engaged are Miss Lizzy Stuart, Miss Medora Collins, and the Misses Brougham, Messrs. George Tedder, and Alfred Young. Solo instrumentalists MM. Prospere, Rowland, Dubreuil, and the Messrs. Collins. The opening night, Monday, was everything that could be desired— a full room, a good band, and good singers. If the inhabitants of Dalston and the surrounding suburbs do not patronize so good a musical treat, it will not be the fault of the projectors of these concerts, they are well worth a visit.

Some of the choruses were given with precision and emphasis; in others, the want of more rehearsing was apparent, and one or two of the amateur soloists were anything but au fait at their task.
