EsTA lILISHMLNT or INFANT SCHOOLS AT BIliM !NON AIL
—A public meeting was held in the Music Hall, at Bir-
mingham, on Friday evening, for the purpose of promoting
the establishment of Infant Schools in that borough, smiler
the care of the parochial clergy, but open to eke younger
children of all without distinction. Lord Calthorpe occupied
the chair. G. F. Munlz, Esq., M.P.; R. Spooner, Esq.,
; the Hon. Frederick Gough, and numerous other in-
fluential gentlemen were present. Letters of apology for
absence, and expressive of cordial concurrence in the objects
of the meeting, were read from Earl Howe (who promised a
site for the building., and intimated that her Majesty the
Queen Dowager would give a donation of 500, the Earl of
Dartmouth, Lord Lyttelton, the Bishop of Worcester, C. N.
Newdegate, Esq., M.P., and others.—The noble chairman,
in the course of en able speech, cbscrved, that in a great and
populous town like Birmingham, the advantages arising from
Infant School' were likely to be very considerable, because it
frequently happened that the children were sent at a very early
age into the manufactories ; and his lordship strongly repro-
bated the conduct of those pasties who spoke of the tenden-
cies of manufactures as an incurable evil. Ile attached
much importance to these schools in influencing the tone of
society through their parents, inasmuch as he could not
doubt that in many cases parental affection had drunk in
from the lips of children lessons of reproof, which awakened
their conscience, and perhaps reformed their lives.—Mr.
Muntz, M.P., also ',poke iu favour of the establishment of
these schools. He had opposed (he said) the government
scheme of education introduced two years ago, because he
believed it to be too sectarian, and he would not have stood
there that evening had he not been assured that the advan-
tages' these schools were intended to confer should not be
held out only to children whose parents belong-
ed to one particular church or party. He consi-
dered the first lessons taught as exercising the
most important effects on after life. Not only so, but
he found the man who could read and write, and think for
himself, always asade the beet and moat trustworthy servant.
He expressed his regret that the state of education in the
country was insufficient, and declared his concurrence with
any movement where sympathy was elicited for the poor.
The Rev. J. Garbett pointed to the beneficial results erasing
from the establishment of these schools by the guardians in
Birmingham tweets years ago.—ne Hon. F. Gough re-
marked on the painful fact, that in Birmingham, which was
comparatively well attended to in this respect, no fewer than
7,000 children were without the means of education.—Many I
other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and at the conclu-
sion subscriptions were announced, amounting to nearly
1,0001.
GLOrCESTERSIDRE.
Tots LATE GALES.—BRISTOL, Nov, 23.—A vessel be-
longing to :London, celled the Durango, front Alexandria,
Orbottle, master, was towed into Rin,groad this morning by
a pilot-boat, by which she was fallen in with in a disabled
state. She has suffered meet severely front the effects of
the late tempestuous weather, sod, had she not been picked
up, must probably have drifted on shore. Her mainmast,
mizen-mast, and foreyard are gore, and she has last all, or
nearly all, her sails. She was Wand for the port et Glou-
cester; but I hare been unable to ascertain the nature of
her cargo, or who are her consignees. Intelligence has like-
wise been received at our commercial rooms, of a schooner
called the Union, laden with oats and barley, and bound for
this port, having gone ashore in Angle Bay. She has also sus-
tained much injury from the effects of the late gale; and
Lloyd's agent is of opinion that it will be found necessary,
before she can be got off again, to get out the whole of her
cargo.

SPOITIt's SECOND QUINTETTO for the Pianoforte,
two Violins, Viola, and Violoncello. 0p.130. Wessel & Co.—
Since the death of Beethoven, who, in every branch of music
to which he applied his mighty genius, put comparison with
any one else out of the question, and the more recent death
of the illustrious Cherubini—Spohr and Mendelssohn have
divided between them the undisputed supremacy of the
musical Parnassus. They may be regarded as rivals ; but it
is a rivalry consistent with affectionate personal friendship :
and no other living musician can enter into competi-
tion with either of their. In the class of concerted
chamber music for instruments, °aglow stands next
to them, but at a very considerable distance. Many of
li Quintets for stringed instruments (a form of composition
to which he has especially devoted himself) are deservedly in
high favour both among professional performers and ama-
teurs. They are exquisitely finished and full of delicate
touches and beautiful traits of melody and harmony; but
their beauties are chiefly those of detail. They are like large
pictures finished with the nicety of miniatures, but deficient
is grandeur of outline, and in breadth and force of colour.,
In these respects, as well as in boldness and originality of
thought, both Spohr and Mendelssohn are greatly his sups-
riots. Spohr (as is well known) before he became one of the
greatest of Handel's successors in the oratorio, was the most
accomplished violinist of his time ; and ds concertos,
quartets, &c., for that instrument, have been well known for
many years. It is only recently that he has begun to com-
pose for the pianoforte ,• but the few works he has produced
for it show a thorough knowledge of its powers and effects.
His second Quintet for the pianoforte and stringed instru-
ments, now before us, is his very latest work, and has just
been published in London from the original German score ;
the London edition being, of course, printed in separate
parts. We have examined it with a degree of satisfaction
which is enhanced by finding that, while it displays all the
. .

mileh hotti.r lialelthated

for general use than many of Ns greykos work'. Our
amateurs, both male and female, ME rapidly improving in
instrumental performance. By means of the many concerts
expressly dedicated to classical chamber music, they are
learning to know and to love the highest and purest pro-
ductions of the art: and it is to the influence of such concerts,
whether carried on by associations of amateurs, such as the
"Musical Union" and the "Beethoven Quartet Society"
(formed by the late lamented Mr. Alsager), or by individual
professors, that we look for the correction of much that is
vitiated in the present fashionable taste. The ladies tope-
niftily, who frequent these concerts (and they are very
numerous) are learning to estimate at their true value those
displays o mere mechanical dexterity which pass at present
for the highest aim and object of pianoforte playing. Any
well educated lady performer, whose taste has been thus
cultivated, will be able to " atiack " this quintet of Spohr ;
and the innumerable, private quartet parties now to be found
in every put of London, and in many provincial towns, will
furnish amateurs able to execute the other parts with taste
and correctness. Such performers will find it full of in-
terest. It commences with an allegro moderato, in D minor,
the opening of which, consisting of short, abrupt, dissonant
chorale , struck with great force on the pianoforte, the inter-
vals ,between them being filled up by soft phrases of
harmony breathed by the stringed instruments, is new
and impressive. This ides, mingled with a melodious
second subject, is carried through the whole move-
ment. The scherzo which follows is less rapid, and is
consequently both easier and more pleasing than such
movements generally are. The adagio, in A major
and in twelve-eight time, has for subject a moat beautiful and
expressive strain, treated with that unity of design and variety
of effect of which the greatest masters only are capable. The
whole terminates with • bold and vigorous finale, in the
relative major of the original key. The tmpretenon produced
by the • hole piece is the sense of beauty arising from
smoothness and repose. The passages for all the instruments
are generally kgato, round and flowing; the strong and rapid
passages, occasionally introduced, tending, by the effect of
contrast, to heighten the prevailing imps salon.
TROISIEME NOCTURNE POUR LE PIANOFORTE;
COMPOSE PAR S. THALBERO.—Though we have always
been the reverse of partisans of the school which Thalberg
has formed, and of which he is the head, yet we willingly
render justice to his great (and, in some respects, unrivalled)
powers. His own compositions are full of beauties of the
very highest order. They are original both inform and sub
stance; and this originality never deserts him even while
clothing the ideas of others with his own harmonies and
accompaniments. Under his fingers the most ordinary sub-
ject of Donizetti sparkles with a thousand bright and beauti-
ful colours which the composer himself could net even
have imagined ; while the grace and expression of
hie own melodies, and the depth and solidity of his counter-
point, are not less remarkable than his unparalleled rapidity
and brilliancy of execution. For the evil which Thalberg
has occasioned, he himself is not properly responsible. It
is no fault of his that he has riven birth to a host of imita-
tors, who, with something of his manual power, but with-
out a tithe of his genius, have copied his faults without his
beauties. Nor is it any fault of his that boarding-school
girls are taught to convert into unmeaning clatter and
discordant noise, music, which, in his own hands, is per-
fectly clear, smooth, and flowing. What we have desired
of Thalberg is, that he should accommodate at least a per-
tion of his published music to the wants and capacities, not
of professional virtuosi, hut of the best class of those who
cultivate music as one of the accomplishments and charms of
social life. Nobody knows better than himself that the most
beautiful music is not necessarily the most difficult; and
that, even in his own most brilliant compositions, the most
exquisite passages are the most simple. Whenever, there-
fore, we meet with an entire piece from his pen, written in
this style, it gives us a joy proportioned to its rarity.
Such apiece is the Nocturne before us. It is his newest
production, and is, we hope, the forenmner of many more of
a similar kind, and by which he will more than compensate
for all the mischief which, we will not say he has done, but
which he has originated. It is a short andantino, fol-
lowed by an allegro agitato, a good deal in the
manner of Mendelssohn's " Licder ohne Werte," in which
a fine vocal melody, rising from a sweet and serene expres-
sion to a high pitch cf impassioned melancholy, is Sustained
and enforced by a rich accompaniment. At first sight it
may frighten many amateurs, who are not at all alarmed by
rattling flights of demisemiquavers, by the extreme
keys in which it is written, commencing in B major (five
sharps), and passing enharmonically into E flat minor (six
fiats); but this is a difficulty which every pianist (even though
an amateur), who has been well taught and made familiar
with the scales in every key, ought to be able readily
to surmount. For such players only such music fa
fitted; and, thanks to improved methods of instruction,
their number is increasing every day. We repeat, then,
thatTlialberg, by music like this. will more than compensate
for all the " sound and fury, signifying nothing," inflicted
on the public under the sanction of his name.

ride Drama.
ST. JAMES'B.—Monsicnr Perlet, whose first appear-
ance was announced to take place last evening, was pre-
vented from appearing by continued indisposition. In con-
sequence of this, three pieces were subgititteil, in all which
Mademoiselle Bmhan performed. These were one-act trifles,
Le Roman dune Henry, and Les Rivaux d'eux-menu 5,
followed by the three-act comedy, Le Bonhomme Richard;
a piece which, after the impression it made upon us on
Frday evening, we were by no means tempted to sit out a
second time. M. Pcr/et's illness, of course, greatly embar-
rasses the manager; for, though Mlle. Brohan is admirable
in her own walk, yet it is a limited and subordinate one,
and does not enable her to shine alone, a " bright, par-
ticular star." We hope that matters will be set to rights by
the admirable comedian's speedy. recovery.
n °Li 'lr.—Another phasic of the conspiracy that
scents going en at the theatres against Shakspeare was de-
veloped here last night, in the form of Jack Cade, a melo-
dramatic sketch, or whatever it is called, from Maks-
peo#e's Henry 1.1. As there is no particular political ex-
citement on foot just now, so as to make " Jack Cade" a
eireonstance, we are at a loss to imagine what can
have induced the manager to sanction the abortion, unless,
I indeed, by way of a joke. In this ease, the notion was a
• decided hit, for the audience laughed consumedly well nigh
throughout. It is, however, precisely the ludicrous point of
view in which a work bearing the name of William Shake-
peare is thus presented to the mind of en audience that we
object to. It appears to us a clear grievance that Shaks-
peare should, whether by barbarous mutilations of his text,
or by the absurd inefficiency of its embodiers, be held up,
we will not say to the contempt, butt to the diminished
respect of any but playgoers. For we ca nnot conceive but
that persons, not thoroughly conversant with the written
words of Shakspeare, and not 'wholly iml mod consequently
with unalterable venerationforhien, must, after, for instance,
seeing Macbeth," as he appears just no wat the Surrey,
or" Jack Cade," as he is presented at the C dympie, go home
with some doubts on the subject. Such is imp art' to our
notion, infinitely worse than specific buries lue, which, in-
deed, except in cases where the work traces tied is in itself
absurd, produce no effect beyond the passin g.laugh at the
humour of the jester. As to the manner in which this .
" Jack Cade " got up, the scenery is mitre' aely good, and
Mr. Maynard surprised us by his very fair to stment of the
principal character. His last scene was quite e ffective. His
indeed was the only portion of the affair which . lid not afford
food for mirth. The rest was wholly laughable.
SADLER'S WELL?. Otway's tragedy, " Venice
Preserved," was performed at this theatre last n. 'fflit. This
tragedy, by far the best of its unfortunate autht r 's, has its
dramatic defects ; but several of its scenes are so s Cective—
its pathos is so touching, that it is not surprisi it still
maintains its place as a theatrical favourite. In " Venice
Preserved" the only character that stands prominen ti y. for-
ward is that of Belvidera ; not only is she the pro., unent
character, but she stands alone of her Rex. Her repre 'ag-
ai ve last night was Miss Laura Addison, and if her mp `rso.,
ration was not complete, it was natural and finished. , Ole
character is not, we should think, one of great histriot tic
difficulty. Nothing rigidly severe or terribly appalling it
demanded. Pathos is the pervading characteristic o
the play, and a just display of the emotions, as distin-
guished
from the passions, though often difficult of
attainment, is not the highest reach of art. Miss
Addison was eminently pathetic. The scene in which
she successfully endeavours to recall JafTer to his duty to his
country and to her, and that in which she makes her proud
father relent, though too late, were well conceived and truly
rendered. She exaggerated, perhaps, a little when Jairser
takes leave of her " for ever." She has a peculiarity of
pronouncing some of the vowels very broadly, and a slight
mannerism, which time may be expected to eradicate. Mr.
Creswick was effective as i'ierre, and Mr. Marston, as
Jafreor, gave a tolerable portrait of a very difficult and in-
consistent character. The other characters were of the ordi-
nary level. The house was well filled.
