"Three Fishes " with the oil telling effect.

make= rigmarole; and of the latter we give • specimen,
premising that the ballad is now 210 or 300 years old :
" Come ye, young men, corns Hong,
With your music, dance, sad wag;
Being your lames In your hinds,
For 'tis that which love commas&
Then to the maypole haste away
For 'lts now a holiday."

In the Bret pert of the concert Mn. Hepworth thos the

romans% from William Tell very akiely and the dust, ;
" Mire to Limos Inns," for Mille. Tithes and Signor
Giuglini, gave great delight to a critical audience. Giuglitti's
handling of the romensa from is Donna del Logo was so
chaste and effective as to draw down en unsuimoas encote.
The harp accompaniment was very nicely played by Trust
In the quartet, " Dal tau Melisto," Mr. Mattes aka
apht was proxy for Mr. Sims leaves. It vest ell they
nicely, the voles of the hexagenerise BMWII befog heard
morons and powerful as of an artist in his prima. Between
the /rat and second parts, Miss Summirbayes played swam
pianoforte piece by Wallace, and, being encored, gam
Thalbeag's arrangement of variations on "Home, nest
bone" moat creditably for so young an artiste.
Beethoven's symphony fa D opened the momd pet, bat
this magailkent plea of imtrumestetion did not asem
to be appreciated. Mademoiselle Titian was hardly up
to her standard In the "QM Is vow" She was
evidently sufferiag from iedispoeitlon, and shortly after-
wards bed to leave the room—an apology being offered
is her behalf, end Signor (Magna! sebstltutlog sa
Italia, Weeks of the stale air, " When other lips." The gem
of the main& however, wee Madame Novello's reeding of
the meth from Mame, "Omen, then mighty monster," la
wbich the assomplished ert/sta infused into the Minh all the
read allots width Weber wrote for, attempting end modu-
lating her wonderful voice to the words, and pthentiog to
the listener a vivid picture of the me in calm and in storm.
Wise bundles sang Hatton's "Enchantress" pleseingly, brat
to some disadvantage, as the mime was decidedly too keg
even with the omissioe occuioned by the indisposition of
Mdlle. Title= and Mr. Sicm Reeves, and the extreme crowd-
leg of the room rendered the atmosphere nabsieekde for say
length cf time, ao that the lady had to deg
to the becks of many of the audience who were rapidly
vomiting the apartment. It was nearly midnight before the
othipany had retired and the lest strains of the natkmal
esthete had died away la the concert hall.
The lath of the owed parkemances took place thilmorn-
iag to the of the largest andiethes, if not the very largest,
ever assembled in Gloucester cathedral. For two hours before
the time appointed for the commencement of the Messiah of
Handel, with which these festivals are always ooncladed, pity
dressed ladies ware wending their ease to the cathedral,
although the morning was lowering and threatened a down.
The groat week always attracts an audience, end has
contributed more thee say work extant to clothe the naked
sad feed the hungry. This morning there was a perfect
nosh to the college precise's, end extra accommodation bad
to be provided for the Atha,.
Mr. Sims Raves had recovered from his indispoallios, sad
rag very splendidly—all the better, no doubt, for hie mat.
Mb delivery of the ape* recitative "Comfort ye," wee
splendid, betraying only sow sad thee; slight 'Meets of he-
disposition. All ohs music allotted to him was delivered
with great paths and effect His "Thy rebuke" and "He
was cut off" were megnillotet. Signor Begat! wig care-
fully and well the recitative "For behold darkness," and the
succeeding Mr, "The people that walked in darkness;" aid
Mies Dolby delivered the lovely aid Ample air, "He 'hell feed
his dock," with her usual good tole; her pathetic utterance
of the air, "He wits despised," was most affecting. The
puttee! symphony was deliciously played, and the whole
oratorio—too well known to require particular remark—went
off Away, and formed a glorious finish to the musical portion
of the laths!. The choruses, we should not omit to say, all
wont well.

Professor 0110110 t WILIIOI% read as elaborate paper on
"The Stages which led to the invention of the Models Air-
Pump." He began by &leg an eceesitt of anent cupping
horns, seen by travellers in MTIOII, end India, and among
the Maarten Indians. These we atoll, narrow tubes, by
means of which the procees of "cupping," or blood-letting by
suction, wee performed by ancient other. He than referred
to the first English air-pump, made in 1669, and to Otto
Yen °meeker's ar.pump, contracted In 1664. The air-
lUMpli were of very steeple construalow, and little MOM than
arger examples of the old cupping borne. The principle
on which the suction-vacuum wee produced we the same
In bah instruments. After alluding to the introduction
of the Terriceillen sir-tubes in lett, the Professor
proceeded to describe the stages of progress which were
mule towards the end of the seventeenth century In the
construction of elm-pumps by Boyle and Hook in England.
He then &nand the curious movement which was is-
vetted by Pepin, which was a double-barrelled pump, with
two pistons and cylindi rs connected with a pulley, at which
the worker mut hen set like • weaver at the loom, end
worked the Mans up and down with his feet b mesas of
stirrupe. The learned professor concluded by a
on the general practice of cupping in primitive time., ea
preyed by repeated allusions In laistophasee sad ether old
writes', and deducing the batman that the discovery of the
principle of suction by this means led on ultimately to the
great disooverist which have since been made la that Inset
of critic°.
