NEW MUSIC.

Cathedral Chimes, and The_ Gondola. By Albert

Lindahl.

We do not know Albert Lindahl ; but we have two
of his compositions before us, from the house of
Cramer, Beale, and Co., of a very high character—
" The Gondola," and " Cathedral Chimes," both for
the pianoforte. " All was silent and still, when sud-
denly, in the distance, there were heard the low tones
of a flute, whose sounds accorded so harmoniously
with the mild rays of the moon, that it might have
been imagined that the music was its beams, which
thus melodiously fell upon the earth," is the motto
prefixed to " The Gondola ;" and it embodies exactly
the character of its music, which is extremely
beautiful, it having " a dying fall, that comes o'er
the ear like the sweet south breathing o'er beds of
violets." It is very delightful to listen to. The
" Cathedral Chimes" is a more ambitious, but an
equally successful effort. Who has not loved to listen
to the carillons played upon the bells of any of our
minsters ; whether they strike the ear amidst the
glare of day, or come stealing upon us in the silent
hours of the night ?

Then most musical and solemn, bringing back the olden times,
With their strange unearthly changes, rang he melancholy chimes;
Like the psalms from some old cloister, when the nuns sing in
the choir,
And the great bell toll'd among them, like the chantingof a friar.
Thus sung Longfellow ; and, in the music of Albert
Lindahl, we find all the ideas here suggested, except
that of melancholy ; Jessica was " always melancholy
when she heard sweet music." Such strains have not
that effect on us. A delightful feeling of resignation,
peace, and hope, is inspired in our minds, the very
reverse of melancholy. Such feelings " The Cathedral
Chimes" are well calculated to produce ; they sink
into the heart, and remain there. A more charming
artistic composition we have not heard for some time.
It should be in the music Porte feuille of every body.

THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.

ACCORDING to the recent accounts received from
Paris, it appears that the smaller German States
are joining in the remonstrances of Austria to the
Russian Government, respecting the basis of future
negotiations for peace. To judge by the conditions
said to be declared by Russia as to the terms upon which
alone she would be intlined to treat, the conclusion
might be arrived at that peace is all but impossible
for Austria, after her previous professions, has no
other resource than at once to reject the Russian
pdrooupbotsl
fuals,
in unooandsotrput the alternative
mustuw
f uehciecshs t
yhowever
imply
indirect, if not active hostility to Russia. At the
same time, it is within the bounds of probability that
a perseverance in the Austrian propositions, backed
by the other German Powers, may have such influence
upon Russian councils as to induce a re-consideration
of the question, before another campaign, carried on
with more activity, shall have strengthened or rather
augmented the demands of the Allies. Supposing,
however-4 that Russia should upon reflection agree to
concede the terms demanded by Austria, it remains
to be seen how far the Allies may deem them to be
satisfactory. At any rate, it will be the duty of the
English and French Governments to delay no pre-
parations, and leave no means untried, to prosecute
the war with vigour. Despite the querulous conl"
plaints of the advocates for peace at any price, the
war is still popular both in England and France ; and
any Government will be §ure of public support by
making the continuance of the war the first and
foremost question.

TEETH! TEETH!

ARTIFICIAL MINERAL TEETH FIXED WITHOUT PAIN.

MESSRS. GABRIEL,
THE OLD.ESTA LISH ED SURGEON-DENTISTS,
102, DUKE-STREET, LIVERPOOL.

MESSRS. GABRIEL'S mode of constructing
ARTIFICIAL TEETH embraces all the latest improve-
ments in the art. Partial and complete sets are made firmly to
retain their position in the mouth without the aid of springs or
clasps, and are guaranteed to answer the purpose of mastication,
and to restore perfect articulation. They never change colour
nor decay, and so resemble the natural teeth as not to be detected
by the closest observer.
FILLING DECAYED TEETH.

Messrs. G. feel they cannot, too strongly recommend this
operation, as the advantages derived from it when skilfully pen-
formed with a suitable composition are invaluable. It arrests
the progress of decay, prevents tooth-ache, and renders the teeth
serviceable for mastication.
SCALING THE TEETH.

The object of this operation, which is not attended with pain,
is to remove the tartar deposited on the teeth, which, if alloired
to remain, continues to accumulate, causing the gums to recede;
the teeth then become loose, and eventually fall out.
Children's Teeth examined and carefully regulated.
TERMS FOR ARTIFICIAL TEETH:

A SINGLE TOOTH from 3s. 6d.
A FULL SET .e4 4s.
DECAYED TEETH stopped, 2s. 6d.; with gold, ss. Scaling,
Extracting, and Misfits Remodelled.
Daily attendance from, Ten to Seven. No charge for Consulta-
tion.

Just published, a small Pamphlet, and may be had gratis, or
will be sent post-paid on receipt of one stamp, Messrs. GABRIEL
on the LOSS OF TEETH.

FURTHER IMPORTANT TUSTIMONY,-OREAT CURE OF PILES.

17, Phelps-street, Walworth, Feb. 22, 1853.
Gentlemen,-1 was afflicted with the blind Piles, and was under
medical treatment for three months, but obtained no relief.
Hearing of Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, I obtained
some, and, after taking it a short time, the accumulatei corrupt
matter copiously discharged, and I almost immediately obtained
relief. I still continued its use for a time, and not only found
relief, but a cure, and am now free from pain. I most sincerely
recommend it to all who are similarly affected. Wm. HYDE.
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co. _ _

8. Ashley-terrace, City-road, London, June 9,1852.
GENTLEMEN Please sen me again three quart bottles of Old
Townsend's Sarsaparilla. I feel much better, and the general
system greatly improved, and I hope I shall be all right with the
three now ordered.—Yours very respectfully, JOHN W. MUNCH.
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co., 373, Strand.
William Wearn, I, High-street, Southsea, writes, " I havetaken
several bottles of Old Townsend's Sarsaparilja, and derived, benefit
from it." Rev. J. W. Wilson, Wesleyan Minister, at Biggleswade,
writes, June 7, 1852, " I have derived much benefit from taking
Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla."
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.—GREAT CURE OF NERVOUSNESS.
London, June 10, 1852.
Gentlemen,—My wife has been long afflicted with a nervous
complaint, from which she suffered severely. Able physi6ans and
many remedies were tried in vain, but I am happy to inform you
that she has entirely recovered by using a few bottlessof Old Dr.
Townsend's Sarsaparilla. J. R. PETERSON.
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Cb.
PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, ERUPTIONS, &C.
The same may be said of these as in the cure of the severer
chronic maladies ; the Sarsaparilla and the Ointment will effec-
tually wipe off all disagreeable eruptions, and render the surface
clear and beautiful. Ladies troubled with rough, pimply skin, or
a gross, masculine surface, will do well to use these Medicines, if
they wish clear, delicate, and transparent complexions. Nothing
can exceed their efficacy in this respect.

INFIDELITY INEXCUSABLE-. ONE GOD :
Infinite in Power, Wisdom, and Goodness. Proved by His
Works and by His Word, with the necessary inferences there-
from. By BARNETT BLAKE.
"This is a very well-written, closely-reasoned, and able argu-
ment. It is altogether highly creditable to the piety and ability
of the writer, and will well repay an attentive perusal., '--31orning
Post.

"In its rapid survey of the wonders of Nature, it gives evidence
-of a well-stored mind, whilst the inferences which the author
deduces, both from the marvels of the universe and the doctrines
of Revelation, are expressed in terms which leave no doubt of the
purity of his intentions and the sincerity of his advocacy."—
Athenceum.

" It establishes the existence of the Deity in the first instance
by proofs independent of Revelation, and subsequently by evidence
derived from Holy Writ, and time demonstrates what its title im-
plies, that the infidel is without excuse.' "—John Bull.
. .

" A body of evidence so convincing and complete that it may
truly be said to leave ' infidelity inexcusable.' "—Liverpool
Courier.

GENERAL DEBILITY.-ILL HEALTH.

Many of the most despotic governments have opened their
Custom-houses to the introduction of these Pills, that they may
become the medicine of the masses. Learned Collegesadmit that
this medicine is the best remedy ever known for persons of deli-
cate health, or where the system has been impaired, as its invi-
gorating properties never fail to afford relief. .

TO meet the requirements of the present Season,
SAMUEL QUILLIAM, of 22, ELLIOT-STREET, has pro-
vided a most magnificent and well-assorted Stock of GOLD and
SILVER WATCHES, with Lever and Horizontal Escapements,
choicely selected and suitable for CHRISTMAS PRESENTS and
NEW-YEAR'S GIFTS, which will be offered for sale at unusually
low prices (marked in plain figures), and urgently requests Pur-
chasers to make an early inspection of the same.

THE WAR.

The Globe contradicts the report of an atttack by a number
of men of the Crimean army on the quarters of the correspon-
dent of the leading morning journal, in consequence of his
statement as to the prevalence of drunkenness amongst the
soldiers. Mr. Russell, the Times' correspondent, is now in
London, on short leave of absence.

The Morning Post's Paris correspondent writes,—" The
intelligence from Russia is as warlike as ever. We hear by
telegraph that Prince Bodisco had passed through Berlin,
bearing important despatches from the Government of
Washington to that of St. Petersburg, concerning negotia-
tions. There may be some meaning in these negotiations
interesting to the Allies. It is well known that the Ameri-
cans have been employed by the Czar for some time past, to
build steam-machinery and forward war materials, whilst it is
said that the two Governments are on very friendly terms.

The Times' correspondent says :—" No accounts have as
yet (Sunday evening) been received in Paris, as to the impres-
sion produced on the Russian government by the communica-
tion of the Austrian propositions, of which Count Esterhazy
was the bearer, and I do not believe that we can have any
before Wednesday next. I only know, as yet, that Esterhazy
had an interview with Nesselrode. The priucipl topic dis-
cussed was the conduct of Austria, and the Russian minister
expressed himself in plaintive terms on it. He was replied to
by Esterhazy, and his language in defence of his master was
precise and decided."

The same correspondent states, that, " It was said that the
Government of the United States of America had made a treaty
with the Shah of Persia, and that they proposed to guarantee
his territory on the side of the Persian Gulf. I believe that
no such treaty has been entered into ; but it is certain that
advances of the most friendly description have been made.
Russia is also intriguing very hard with the Shah; and it is
unfortunate that at such a moment, when his favour is
eagerly sought by these two Powers, a suspension of diplo-
matic relations with England should have taken place."

THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.

ACCORDING to the recent accounts received from
Paris, it appears that the smaller German States
are joining in the remonstrances of Austria to the
Russian Government, respecting the basis of future
negotiations for peace. To judge by the conditions
said to be declared by Russia as to the terms upon which
alone she would be inclined to treat, the conclusion
might be arrived at that peace is all but impossible
for Austria, after her previous professions, has no
other resource than at once to reject the Russian
proposals, and adopt the alternative which, however
doubtful in construction, must of necessity imply
indirect, if not active hostility to Russia. At the
same time, it is within the bounds of probability that
a perseverance in the Austrian propositions, backed
by the other German Powers, may have such influence
upon Russian councils as to induce a re-consideration
of the question, before another campaign, carried en
with more activity, shall have strengthened or rather
augmented the demands of the Allies. Supposing,
however, that Russia should upon reflection agree to
concede the terms demanded by Austria, it remains
to be seen how far the Allies may deem them to be
satisfactory. • At any rate, it will be the duty of the
English and French Governments to delay no pre-
parations, and leave no means untried, to prosecute
the war with vigour. Despite the querulous com
plaints of the advocates for peace at any price, the
war is still popular both in England and France ; and
any Government will be sure of public support by
making the continuance of the war the first and
foremost question.
