k aememitted. The whole strength of bead, chorus and prin-
pals was breseght to bear upon it, and the melt was one of
the met magnificent interprets Ms of this invitee enteric,
that has perks= ever be. it given. With such • bead, it
was abeam iniporible that the overture could be other-
wise than whet!, performed, sad the opening recitative,
"Confess ye vey pee*," was given by Sims Renee with •

that walked ia de:knees." with his anal excellent taste.
The splendid " Foe elate us • child is bora," was

repeated, to the great dellibt et the sadism. The =gei-
sha pastoral symphony touched every heart with its calm
semity, and the recitative ',hie fellow wore exquisitely
delivered by Madame C Tae air, "Rejoice greatly,"
was delivered with len effect few sines Mrs. admen have
beak able to do full justice to this brilliant bat WSW' part.

We should not omit to =the in the fint pert fir. Lean's
exesetioa of the reeitative, "Thy /shake," and air, "N-

also took the recitative and air set down for Mr. Bias
Res yes, " He that dwelleth," and "Thee shalt break them,"
In consequence of Sims Beene' isdisposition.
The third pert opened with the divine air, " I know
that my Redeemer Beetle." whisk was of course allotted to
the prima demo. It was cm of the most exquisite
perform/nos we have ever listened to, and excited a won-
derful mention in every part of the eathedral. The den-
Ikea' effect in parted to it by Madame Catalan Mid se=i-

for by the Lord B chop. Mr Machin's realities " 13:hold
I tell you • mystery," and the air, " The trumpet shall
soand," were very nicely swig ; but the trumpet obligates
by young Harper was perfection. This diMenelt bit has
rarely ever been so well performed, even by the veteran
trumpeter, kis father. Tree duet between Miss If-William
sad Mr. Lorloy, " 0 Death," would have bees bather bad
it been taken at • slower time. The suessedig
