MUSIC.

Amongst other arrangements which are to give interest
to the summer sesarro, the Art Voice, holds a prominent
place, and bids fair in this its third season to exhibit consi-
derable advanoe on its two prerloba ooee. The prises,which
are all original and copyright, are so beautiful as to attract
a constant crowd round the glass use iu which th”' are
exhibited. When the public knows the the tailgate death
mss as Calder Marsha, hinter, Dillthao. Monti, sad i
David Roberta have been called into maiden to furnish
designs, they will be quite sntiebd 'u to the quality
and artistic vane of the prise lista . "The Toilet" el the
tint-ortmed sculptor is a perfect pa, and Rafael,
blosti's veiled " Bride " is a worthy ammo': of the Ex-
hibition of 1861. Want of space &Uwe perreate as speci-
fying the other works in detail, but they are all beautiful
of their kind, and full value for the amount of subscrip-
tion by which a specimen in each class is secured. This
departrneot rapidly improves under the skilful
meat of Yr. Batten, who, we have as doubt, will Win
year have his reward in a long and eabscriptiee
