HER sunny's THEATRE.

Though theOpsra season, properly speaking, is over,
this theatre has not yet, him the other house, closed
he doors. During last week then were three " fare-
wells/gbh'," at reduced priors, for the purpose of
seek bringing forward Mdlle. Piccoloarni in her
throe characters—Maria in La Piglia,Norio• in Das
Pasquale, and Violetta in La Traviata. Oa Thurs-
day, in consequence of Calsolari having taken his
departure for Moscow, the part of Ernesto in Doss
Pasquale wee usigord to Reichardt, who sustained
it most succershilly, singing in a finished and artistic
elle. On Saturday Calsolan's place in the Ilmssieta
wee filled by Mr. Braham. Each night the bums
was crowded to the doors, and the &smiling young
press as.. was remised with undiminished maw
steam. The semen of these farewell eights hie led
to the announcement of three "last farewell nights"

ORGAN FOR THE

MUSIC BALL.

An argon for this new building bevies just been
completed by the eminent builders, Messrs. Gray
and Davison, several public performances upon it
(according to custom in each oases) hare been given
at the manufactory, previous to the removal of the
instrument to its play of destination. On two of
these occasions we were present—Friday evening and
Saturday morning—when the performers were two
of oar most accomplished organists, Mr. Henry Smart
and Mr. W. T. Best. On both occesioae the exhibi-
tion-room was crowded with amateurs, who were
equally delighted with the admirable qualities of the
instrument and with the manner in which its powers
wen developed sad displayed, by selections of the
finest and malt alsesicel organ music.
The new llnde-heill at Birmingham, for which
this lustaimmes bee hew built, is • large building, in
the middle pointed style of architecture, containing a
MB 117 feet !mg, and capable of sooomeodatiog
1,030 persons. On the aides and at one end of the
Ware two tiers of galleries; and at the other end
rims the orchestra, for 300 performers, with the organ
in an appropriate case. From accounts in the local
newsimpers it appears that on Thursday, the 31st of
July, ea Invitation concert was given, for testing the
sem& qualities of the building, which are described
wsatisfactory. The whole of the into-
y finished and decorated, under the ditto.
iryrtist, Mr. Crust* of Birmingham. The
=et the building is to be "inaugurated" by a
festival, on the 3rd and 4th of September,
sensisting of two morning performances of the Mes-
siah and El Yoh, and of two miscellaneous evening
lesserts. A best of talent is announced, including
Madam Clara Novelle, Mr. and Madame We* Miss
Dolby, and Mr. Sims Beeves, together with a pow-
▪ orchestra and *horns.

Iheorgen, to be used fee the first time on this
osessioa, though not one of the largest, is in
various sespeste one of the most resarkable
lustrous* fa England. It possesses many
novel Wane. enhancing considerably the mu.
Waal offsets produced from organs of atelier
calibre. This has been sesomplished by supplying
the re slop with different pressures of wind, of
whit* =tiers see sot less than flier to the great organ.

eves whoa the whole powers of the instrument
are employed, es light as that of a pianoforte, and
soabliag the skilful organist to perform music which
it would be impossible to execute oa the ordinarily
coostructed instrument. There are three full
manuals from C C to A, and pedals from C C C to
F; the swell goes throughost. The pedal organ is
of immense power; including • oontra-bourdon stop
of 32 feet ; three woos (an open diapers, boardoo,
and` Wituilione) of /6 feet; and two of eight feet.
The great organ has a double diapason of 1. test,
with open and stopped diapasons, rinds, and
poisons, of eight feet ; and the swell organ his a
board= of sixteen feet, open and
l
disposals, oornopean, and oboe, of eightthir;
together with • toll complement of all the
other sand stops in these three divisions of the
instrument. In the choir ogres there are several
soft stops, particularly thaw imitative of the viol doe
gaaba, the clarions:, and die oorno di bassetto, all
of exquisite sweetness. There are four pedals for
oonsbaning the stops of the great organ, and three
for the Ewell, which are also ea the panalatie prin-
ciple. A " tremulant" eats on the stops of the swell
organ, by which great expression can be given. On
the whole this noble instrument is • masterly speci-
men of the orgas-boilder's art; equally admirable for
the skill of he ereohattiees. the grandeur and beauty
of its Mee, and the variety of its powers.
