MUSIC.

THE YORKSHIRE CHORAL UNION.

This aasociation, which ins existed for some time
in Yorkshire, has been formed under the auspices of many
persons of rank and influence belonging to and connected
with that county, for the purpose of promoting the culti-
vation of a bras& of music for which this district of Ens-
laud Us long been preeminent It is a combination of the
choral soeistim of Leeds, Huddersfield, Halifax, Sheffield,
and York ;its present president is Edward Akroyd, Esq., of
I Halifax ; and its vice-presidents are James Killion, Req.,
Mayor of Leeds ; the Venerable Archdeacon Musgrave, John
Brooke, Esq., of Huddersfield ; Minima Holdswortb, Esq.,
of Holchworth, and (barks Camara, Fag., of Sheffield.
The asseeiatisa bas now, for the find, time, paid a visit to
London, and given two great choral performances, from
which the amateurs of the metropolis have been enabled to
form an idea of the date of chorus-singing In the north.
The Menials was performed at Exeter-bell on Thursday
evening and last evening there wee a miscellaneous dance',
of secular dowel musket fat James'erhall. le the Menials

the solo peels VIM suss by Mrs. kkoderland, the oelekread
Yerkshire prima dome.—a lady who, though she has
chums a provincial career, has the efts mid attain-
meats of a singer of the highest rank—by Mice Freeman
and Mr. Inkansill, excellent prosincitl performers, and
by Mr. Sims Rows and Yr. Smiley. The whole
performance was excellent, the ebonies especially, whir&
him never been suspaseed—if, lease 4 they have over bow
equalled—ln Isnies42ll. Though Um- yam•aid not Mid
mad 300, not half the numerical strength to whisk the
public are accustomed in Exeter-hall, there was no lack of
reel power, the strength of the Yorkshire choir lying
• the full, rich quality of the voices, the body of pure
musical sound, uncontaminated by noise, which they pro-

duce, and the thorough training, which enables them to
glee the most delicate nuances and gradations of 'test and
expulsion. It is by such means, and not by the concep-
tion of unwieldy multitudes ( the fashion of the day), that true
choral power and grandeur are obtained. The performance
of secular music last evening was equally admirable. A
number of tine choral glees and part songs of Bishop, T.
Gooks, Smut, Mendelssohn, and other composers. were
snug with marvellous refinement and purity of harmony.
Thus were intermixed with favourite soap and duet., sung
by Mrs. iltaderlead, Mr. Sims Renee, Mr. Inkersall, and
Mr. Savawl ; sad to give further variety, two pianoforte
pieces were Payed by Mir Arabella Goddard.
The whole entertainment was delightful, and rapturously
applauded.

His Royal Highness then descended from the platform
and laid the stone with the ordinary ceremoslin.
The Bishop of London offered an appropriate prayer, and •

the fnetitatios. The ladies who had collected subscriptions
then deposited their purees on the stone, and in • brief
space • little hillock of offerings had been raised. It was
announced amid loud cheers that Lady Morrison had given

cheers were given for the Queen, and also three cheers for
