the absence of the starchness so characteristic of the state of art in that age?) than the portrait of Queen Anne Bullen? Nor is the likeness of the unfortunate Earl of Stafford, after Vandyke, the least interesting in the three parts now before us. The head, above all, is remarkable for its expression of life and powerful character. The other portraits are the Countess of Sunderland, after a splendid Vandyke; Wolsey, and Cranmer, the former after Holbein, the latter after Gerbicus Flicciis. The Lord Burghley, by Mark Gerard; and Sir Walter Raleigh, by Zucchero are, both mannered portraits, but are both excellently engraved. The former is especially brilliant. There is no false pretension nor charlatanism, in fact, in this publication: it is worthy of the country and of the great names it illustrates; and it is a work in short which, as it well deserves to have done, has already become classical. On Thursday she appeared in the character of Zerlina, in Don Giovanni, Mademoiselle Blasis being her substitute in that of Donna Anna, and Mademoiselle Monticelli having reached the rank of Donna Elvira. These changes, we regret to say, have been rendered necessary by the continued indisposition of Madame Malibran, a circumstance, for which we cannot be consoled by those novelties to which it has thus given rise. For the most part, the opera has lost much of its effect by the transposition of the personaggi. Mademoiselle Blasis sank rather below the average of her merit, and failed to throw either brilliancy or interest into the character now assigned to her. And witnessing this failure, we could not help recollecting the great comparative beauty of the performance, both last year, (when Mademoiselle Sontag supported Mad. Malibran in the principal part,) and in the foriner representations of our present season. Neither does Mademoiselle Monticelli at all improve upor acquaintance. Indeed, it surprises us that upon her first debût in England, there ever could have existed that lenient, and almost favourable impression of her qualifications which tempted an audience to sit out the opera of La Donna dei Lago,' with so lamentable a representative of the heroine. Her gait and action are the most ungainly we know; her voice is feebler than ever; and she has not even the skill to disguise its incapacity, or omit the passages which are beyond its power. Though not so good a singer, Grazziani is a far more lively and judicious actor than Porto; and his figure, costume, and general bearing through his part of Masetto, had an appropriateness that was certainly an improvement upon former times. Signor Donzelli, the hero of the play, perhaps fails to give his character the prominence which, in most cases, is sure to attend him; but if this be so, he at the same time avoids many of the ble mishes which disfigure his execution of Rossini's music; lus terrible fondness for andantes, his invariable sostenuto, which operates like a clog in the wheel of the music, while the fulness of his voice extinguishes those of his neighbours. There was much curiosity to see Mademoiselle Sontag in her new character. The rustic simplicity and gaiety of Zerlina seemed well adapted to her powers of personation, and a feeling of retributive justice was pleased to have an opportunity of compensating to her in this part, for the want of interest which seems incidental to that of Donna Anna. Accordingly, she encountered a welcome more hearty than ever greeted her before. From first to last she was the object of all applause. No one could contest it with her; for the feeling of the house was evidently borne along in one direction, and would not deviate for the sake of any but herself. Upon her entrata, the duet with Masetto, 'Giovinette che fate all' amore,' was encored, of course, and deservedly, for her animation was beyond herself, and the liquid flow of her singing had never been surpassed. The next duet, that with Don Giovanni, La, ci darem la mano,' was also encored; perhaps from habit, or the furore of the night, for the performance of it was vitiated by some misplaced embellishments, and a cadence that had no fellowship with Mozart. Then came the beautiful air, Batti, batti, o bell Masetto,' the first movement of which was executed with as much tenderness as the concluding allegro displayed playfulness and spirit. This was also encored. Lastly, the cavatina, 'Vedrai Carino,' as beautiful as any, and as sweetly executed; did not this also receive the same compliment? Never, certainly, was there a stronger body of votaries to the lady's cause, more zealous to show their adoration, and more uniform in their method of proof: The immense theatre, not more fully crammed in the height of the season, had scarcely one dissentient or callous auditor in all its crowd. Had their idol selected this for her last performance, we believe that the extent of their sympathy and enthusiasm would have been shown by acts of absolute puerility. As it was, the part of Desdemona did not so strongly awaken their sensibilities, or, as we suspect, the audience on the latter occasion was one of a different and more phlegmatic temperament. Strange to say, the house on Saturday evening was not crammed to suffocation. Perhaps the town had thinned in the intermediate time, or had grown philosophical and loved analogies, so that it was led to believe there would be another last night of Mademoiselle Sontag's performance, because such had been the case in the year 1828. But this was not all. The temper of the audience was cold, and never betrayed into one burst of admiration throughout the evening, if we except that at the close of the opera itselt. Perhaps the very character of Desdemona prohibits the casual and isolated expressions of applause, which are too frequently taken as the tests of a performer's merits. The music, as well as the dramatic interest of the part, is too continuous and unbroken, to leave room for halting places where one may stop and gaze around, and say, this is good: or, though we deny the fact, it may be, that Mademoiselle Sontag's representation of the character is not a favorite with the public. Another possible cause of the absence of much fervor, on the part of the audience, may have been their discontent at the compression of the opera for the sake of brevity, by which means some of the most beautiful portions, especially the first appearance of Desdemona, and the air Oh! quante lagrine,' were squeezed out. The conclusion of the opera suffered terribly by the same process. Every thing after the murder of Desde inona is lopped off, and this amputation both deprives us of some beautiful music, and serves to terminate the drama at a point of too intense interest, when the emotions require some restorative, some sequel, to recal them to their ordinary degree of calmness. De mortuis nil, &c. But for this impulse, we should be tempted to quarrel with Mademoiselle Sontag for one or two peculiarities in the course of the performance. But she is no more to come under our animadversionwhether to praise or to censure. She has left us for this season, and it is understood that before the opening of another operatic year, she will have deserted the stage for ever. It can serve no end, therefore, whether preventive or remedial, now to note down the inaccuracies and imperfections, which, to the feeble and ignorant judgment of such as we are, have appeared hitherto worthy of notoriety, more perhaps from captiousness or ostentation, or mere error, than with much justice or necessity. Surely, too, it is well to preserve, as pleasing as possible a remembrance of these sources of our enjoyment, undefiled by the tiny blots and blemishes which it might be in our power to recal. And therefore, we will say no more of this final display of Mademoiselle Sontag's talents, except inasmuch as it gives us an opportunity and excuse for adding our good wishes to those of the thousands who, on that occasion, testified them upon her departure with acclamations which affect ed her to tears. The history of this most gifted lady will form a singular fragment in the annals of music. Her personal character and situation, the suddenness and universality, and, sorry are we to add, the short life of her public renown, will separate her from the crowd of her predecessors, not one of whom had excited such individual sympathy, or had raised herself to the highest pinnacle of fame, with such modesty of deportment; or had retired from it, in the midst of popular favour, with a spirit so uncorrupted, a memory so respected. A bright brief ineteor,-her radiance will long live after her. We did not think to be seduced into these expressions of our feeling with respect to Mademoiselle Sontag, and our loss for the future; but they are written, and so let them go. We must add to them our conviction that the stage is flow deprived of one who was its most signal benefactress; for she not only threw around it the lustre of her professional attractions, but also carried with her a purity and delicacy, and gentleness, which went far to disperse the grossness that every where walks upon it. We do not think it equivocal or invaluable praise, when we allege that Mademoiselle Sontag was the most lady-like of all the artistes we have known. It will be well if the influence of her amiable disposition shall last as long as the recollection of her accomplishments. Most sincerely do we wish her, in her retirement from a professional life, all the happiness and prosperity she deserves, if for no other cause than as a return for the pleasure she has so abundantly promoted of half the civilized world. COLLECTION OF MINERALS AT THE WESTERN EXCHANGE. An invitation to the view of a model of York Minster has made us acquainted with the interesting collection of natural history, minerals, and fossils of Mr. Walker, in the Western Exchange. This we deem well worthy of a visit by all, but especially by those who have a turn for the study and observation of the curiosities of nature, and who delight in contemplating those, her grand movements, which mark the revolutions of the globe. Mr. Walker's collection is extensive and curious, and comprisés several very rare and valuable specimens, which it would be going beyond our province to enumerate; from among them, however, we may be excused for selecting for notice a few articles which seem most calculated to attract popular attention. Such are, of the animal kind, a Guana stuffed, and a large Diodon or Sea-Orb; of the mineral class of curiosities is an immense jaspar from the island of Antigua; of the fossil kind, and in these the prin cipal value and interest of the collection consist, are the forehead of an elk or deer, a horn of a similar animal, a fossil palm and root of an aloe, also from Antigua; and several other very curious fossils, formerly in the possession of the late Mr. Parkinson, and collected from the mines and quarries of Great Britain. Besides these, the specimens of amber from Mosambique, containing insects. well preserved under very singular circumstances, also form very interesting objects of observation. The rare work of illustrations of antediluvian phytology by Mr. Tyrrell Artis, from the fossil remains of plants peculiar to the coal-formations of Great Britain, which Mr. Walker possesses, and in which descriptions are to be found of several of his own specimens, gives an additional interest to this exhibition. As to the model of the York Minster, and the bass relief in silk of the needle-work illustrative of the Revelations, and which is said, with every appearance of probability, to be of the age of Queen Elizabeth, we shall content ourselves with indi MISCELLANIES. HANOVERIAN AND DANISH SYSTEM OF QUAR- cating their existence, and with adding that the the following account of the curious primitive mode former has been much commended, Times' and Literary Gazette.' NEW MUSIC. • Mélange; or Favourite Airs from Gluck's Operas, arranged for the Piano forte, and dedicated to Miss Tatton, of Wittenshaw, Cheshire, by J. B. Cramer. Cramer, Addison, and Beale. A CLEVER, well arranged sonata in C, exhibiting Gluck's most favourite motivos to advantage, in Sramer's peculiar, chaste, and sensible style. A short Introductory Vivace Spiritoso, is followed by an Allegro and Cadenza, prelusive to the favourite minuet in Iphigenie, so well known by the auditors of the ancient concerts. This movement is well amplified and varied into three pages. After which, an Allegretto (in F 3-8 time) from Armide; a Marcia (in B flat) from Orfeo, modulates again into the key of C, for the Allegretto Scherzando, con legerezza, forming a Rondo finale of four pages, the thema of which is selected from Iphigenie. The melodies are well chosen and adapted, and the whole piece does not require a very practised performer to execute it; thus will it be found of general utility. Sweet Evening Star,' in Answer to Barnet's celebrated Song, g, Rise Gentle Moon, sung by Miss Love, composed by Joseph Hart. Mahew and Lee.

Cocks and Co. ، ALTHOUGH we have had opportunities of reviewing a large number of Dressler's publications for the flute, in the Athenæum,' we have not before met with a more useful and pleasing work for the amateur flautist than that before us. Twelve interesting scraps, each occupying a page, form the work, of which the following is a brief catalogue, viz. 1. A French Air, (formed upon the melody known as O no we never mention her,'). 2. Rode's celebrated Air,-sung by Catalani and Sontag. 3, A familiar Swiss melody. 4. Mayseder's popular Air, op. 40, as performed by De Beriot. 5. La Suis6.

Blake (of Athboy), by T. A. Rawlings. Published by T. Welsh, at the Harmonic Institution. THIS is the old German tune, to which Kalkbrenner put very ingenious and pleasing variations, and which F. Griesbach used to play as the theme of a rondo to one of his Oboe Concertos, but now revived by Mr. Welsh, for his Bohemian Brothers. Rawlings has offered a spirited Introduction to it (in B flat 3-4 time) and adapted three lively variations after it. Thus the title is a misnomer, the publication being an Air varied, and not a Rondo. It presents a gay, playful, and rather easy piece, well adapted for the Piano Forte, and those who teach upon it. of quartering the cavalry which prevails in his Ma jesty's Hanoverian dominions. In time of peace nies, then by squadrons, and lastly, by regiments; but, withstanding this, at the end of seven months he could not move without crutches. Immediately after his fall, he felt a remarkable aversion for several kinds of food, of which he had before been fond, the contrary, which had been disagreeable to him especially sugar, milk, and wine; other things on before, as beer, &c. became palatable. The author attributed these effects to a concussion of the spinal marrow, occasioned by the fall. ROYAL PRESENTS TO GERMAN AUTHORS.Herr von Schlegel, the author of the Ecclesiastical History of Northern Germany and the Hanoverian States, has been honoured with a gold snuff-box from the King of England and Hanover, in token of his Majesty's approbation of that work: and Herr Döring of Frankfort has been presented with a beautifully worked gold cup, from the Duchess of Clarence, as an acknowledgment of the pleasure received by her Royal Highness from his last novel 'Sonnenberg.'

A volume of Autobiography, by Sir James Turner, which numerals and letters are substituted for the names RIGINAL LETTERS illustrative of ENGLISH HISTORY, including numerous ROY AL LETTERS from AUTOGRAPHS in the British Museum and one or two other Collections, with Notes and Illustrations. By HENRY ELLIS, F. R. S. Sec. S. A. Keeper of the Manuscripts in the British Museum. If antiquaries in the fortunate situation of Mr. Ellis, intrusted with the keeping of Literary and Historical treasures, would, like him, give up to the humbler but important duties of Editors, a portion of the time which they are too fond of devoting entirely to abstruse speculations upon points connected with their favourite pursuits, the world of letters would gain incalculably by their la. bours. Instead of one man of learning, or a few such men, exhausting their ingenuity upon the materials within their reach, while the rest of the world were excluded from the inquiry, the whole force of the literary community would be brought to bear upon the whole fund of disquisition, and the rich treasures now in a great measure hid from the public eye, would become both accessible to all competent workmen, and, through them, available to the use of mankind at large. The gratitude of the republic of letters is therefore, as it appears to us, eminently due to Mr. Ellis for setting so good an example; and we trust, he will be encouraged by the pub. li in such a manner as may both make him persevere in the same course, and induce others to follow him.'
