Ox MUSICAL TASTR....-1 fear you anti I shall always
remain st feud cn the subject of music. I cannot be
brought to like the highly
wrought combinations of meths-
nical art in at all the same degree as the simple, natural,
and touching strains of feeling and expression. 1 cannot
NI that which is only skilful, wonderful, and to be ad.
mired, into competition with what is to be loved and felt,
In a word, I refer, like Prink Osbaldistone, one simple
p
song which 1 have loved in childhood " to all the opera
sir. which were ever minted in the caprizious brain of an
Italian Musical Doi 'or. '
You have told me more than once that as I have Is
kirewledge of music as a science, I have no right to relk of '
the relative merits of its different kinds. To this objection'
I never can aubscribe. Music is meant for general delight,
physical and mental. " All with eon and souls" have, in
my view of the matter, a perfect right to hear, enjoy, dis-
enaf, condemn, and praise move and mnsicians all and
sundry, from MOZART and ltossix I, at the Opera House,
to the whistling of the pot-boy, as he goes aloug the street.
Music being pleasing to none but a scientific nuttier. is, an
tar idea strong argument, if not proof positive, that the
music is bad. It may at first sight appear raradnxical, but I
boll it nevertheless to be true, that the greatest musical
proficient' are not those who derive the greatest gratifica-
Imo Trem music. They understand it very much, but they
feel it very little. They ere thoroughly versed in all the
theories of bars, minims quavers, and crotchets, anti they
judge accurately whether the composer and the performer
have shown science and skill, but they seldom or never expe-
rience that full, floating, voluptuous delight, which per-
vades the senses and the soul of a true lover of music.
They admire a piece of music as I should a piece of clock-
work or of lace-making, as a complex and difficult speci-
Hien of mechanical art—not as a natural object of natural
gratification. To them may he truly applied the French
term " faire de 14 rrirs,i7ue: —They do indeed Ix lke it—la-
boriously and as workmen make it—but when wc do hear
from them those natural and spontaneous gushing!' of sound
which rise, as it were, irrepressibly from the well-head of
music within ? They attend so much to its riming that
they overlook its end.

My first objection to a long, intricate, and difficult com-
position—to what, in short, is usually called " n piece of
music,"—is, that it is almost always totally unmeaning. It
expresses and it excites no passion—it is neither pensive
nor enlivening—neither spit ited nor sad. It is equally fit
for a re:dile or a retreat—for a dirge or an epithaiamium.
Its sole object appears to be to display , the composer's shill
and the perfumer's execu'ion. As it is inexpressive, so is
i: powerless. There may be much tine fingering, and
many brilliant combinations—but there is nothing to sooth
sadness, or excite mirth—to touch, in short, any sentiment
or sensation whatsoever. It does not call forth that mys-
terious and indefinable connexion beta/eat phYsi,tal Dense
and inward feeling, which has caused Music to be called the
Poetry of Sound. The ear may sometime be gratified, but
the heart remains wholly untouched. " A piece of music"
is accordingly (litre lished by all but conoseenti. his only
those who judge by the difficulties overcome, and not by
the effect produced, that take pleasure in this kind of corn-
postion. One may remark a itatless and uninterested air
in nine-tenths of the auditors doting a porformanee of this
tort, which is instantly changed into brightened eyes and
lighted-up countenance., at the striking up of a simple
and well-known air. There is even a kind of bus of de-
light perfectly distinguishable in a crowded audience dur-
ing the first bars of a popular tune. It comes home to the
feelings of all with a suddenness and a strength which are
quite apparent and delightful.
There are few feelings with which music has not some
connexion; there are few causes that it is not in some way
brought to assist: but it is *nasty always simple music.
In the aid of devotion it has joined in almost all ages,
countries, and religions. But it is rare that devotional music
is not of a simple character. Nothing is solemn and sub-
lime that has not a large share of simplicity. The full swell
Of the organ, and of the voices joined in religious outpour-
ing and excitement, must have been often felt u touching,
awful, ard imposing, even by the most reckless and
irreverent : and these tones are nearly always breathed
to simple measures. In this particular branch of music,
I perhaps go so far as to think that the efforts of a
well-trained choir fall short in effect of that produced
in thus- places of worship where the whole congrega-
tion joins in one flood of enthusiastic song. They are
mentality for the most part untrained, and singly, or
in small numbers, their singing might have feeble or ludi-
crous effect. But the condrnsity of numerous voices con-
ceals individual harshness and irregularities; and the tones
of gushing and fervent devotion have a solemnity, majesty,
and null. which can never he reached by any paid nes-
forreruce, however talented or skilful. eta a proof and
illustration of this, I may cite the extreme and extraordi-
nary effect of the sinning of the charity children at St.
PA WS. These children, atnounting to six or seven
Ll:weasel, meet only once a year, anti are collected from all
the schools of the metropolis. Their previous training,
therefore, though it certainly exists to wine degree, must
be very slight ; both from the tender age of a large pro-
portion of them, and from the total want of prepared
cr.mhination and concert. And yet, the first burst of this
world of youthful voices, to a ii.mpie measure of our ancient
psalmody, pealing through the space of the stupendous
dome, has an effect on the hewn which is allowed to be
beyond any other ever produced by sound.
I have said that music, simple music, speaks to the pas-
sions. Yon yourself, and every one else who ever was in
love, can testify to its power over that union of all the
passions. I have seen you hang over the chair in which
£-- sat as she was singing, drinking every tone which
vas breathed from her lips--vibrating with every chord
which she struck from her instrument. You never would
have loved that woman u you did if it bad not been for
The airs which she was most used to play were
sit t d points of delightful union. 110 not wonder at my
descolbing so much ens anon what ran felt ; I have felt
e%ery jot of it; and it is as much from my recolkctions of
my own feelings as from any observations of youts, that I
am speaking. The favourite airs of one beloved are indeed
all-powerful. They add sweet and holy fascinations to her
as she breathes them; they set her almost with reality be.
fore you when she is away ; they recal distant days, and
circumstance which can never return, in a manner quite
magical and startling. But I have said enough on this
subject already. It is one of extreme delight and of infmite
pain: alas! the pain predominates.

There is another strong and charming advantage which
simple possesses over elaborate music. It is that natural
and delightful union of poetry and song, which is quite in-
compatible with intricate composition. Mooss has said
that poetry and music are tedded, and should never be
divorced. Alas! how often do we see the foppery of
scientific campoaters and singers operate this disunion, quite
ai risredia, without any intervention of Doctors' Commons
or the !loose of Lords? Moose himself has furnished
tbelKsst cation of his own doctrine. His melodies
are a gift to the music and the poetry of his cemetery for
which it never can he sufficiently grateful. He has shown
'uisitc mealiest enjoyment is to be joined

mels of an, are quitevight to encourage the proposed utve
dertaking ;-but those Who love the style which I havelvAl
advocating iu this letter, must view its prosperous opening
with great regret. Academies have ever been, and must
ways be, the supporters of every dung artificial—the ene-
mies and the crnahers of all that is natural, enthusiastic,
and free. They are, perhaps, beneficial in matters of
exact sod severe science ; lint, from their very constitution,l
they are opposed to every thing like the burst of ardent
and irrepressible genius. Like monopolies in commonalpi
their effect is to gire security and profit to the select Sew,
to the detriment and oppression of the enterprising many.
Look at tire French academy—the immortal forty, ss they
styled therneelvee—what have they ever done, further than
inakitig a dictionary—mere drudgery and labour, which,
in these days, would be done by steamy They have had'
brilliabt names among them, it is true ; but these havei
nourished in despite of academical restraints, not in conse-
quence of academical encouragement. And even these
stem to have felt the torpedo touch of the jauteuil Arad&
micien—to have been affected by the mephitic air which
pervaded their hall of audience. Can any thing be more
dull than nine-tenths of the Awe., which every academi-
cian sou obliged to compose on his predecessor ? Even
many of those pronounced by men of real genius are
cramped, tawdry, and artificial. The subject, to be
sure, was often such that to praise was very difficult ; but
this serves only to show of what sort of men the academy
must have been composed, when their funeral oration
exercised the invention more than any other faculty of
their successor. In this country, surely the Royal Aca-
demy cannot, by its effects on Painting and
.Sculpture, lead
to very encouraging hopes of the probable results of a
similar establiahment in the sister art. Painting has not
advanced one jot in England since its institution. The
Academy then gave it swaddling-clothes and leading-
strings, and it bas never got free from either. The great.
est painter which England—perhaps Europe, at present
possesses, is excluded from the pale of the Academy, for
having freely expressed his opinion of its proceedings and
merits. But thus it always is ; jealousy of real and brilliant
deserving leads academicians to prefer servile mediocrity to
independent anal eclipsing genius. Votraiaz was not a
member of the French academy (fur literature) till he was
fifty; Halmos is not a Member of the English academy
(for painting) at all. And tans it will be with regard to
music, Drudging and mechanical art will meet with all
praise and assistance—simple, powerful, natural genial
will be discouraged or neglected. 1 wish you had kept
your ten guineas in your pocket.
But, after all, it is no use arguing on such subjects.
For you, I have sometimes hopes of your reformation—
for I have seen you, fie! music as well as listen to it. Shall

PERSIAN SONG.
Br Site WILLIAM JONI!.
Sweet maid, if thou wouldst charm my sight,
And bid these arms thy neck enfold,
That rosy cheek, that lily bead,
Would give thy poet mere delight,
Than all Recera's vaunted gold,
Than all the gems of SamarcanJ.
Boy, let yon liquid ruby flow,
And bid thy pensive heart be glad.
IVhate'er the frowning zealots say,
Tell them their Eden cannot show
A stream so clear as Rcenabad,
A bower so sweet as Hostility.
Oh ! when these fair perfidious maids,
lEhose eyes oar secret haunts infest,
Their dear destructive charms display;
Each glance my tender breast invaiies,
And nibs uiy wounded soul of rest.
As Tartars seize their destined prey.
In vain with love our bosoms glow,
Can all our tears, can all our sighs,
New lustre to thane charms impart
C m cheeks sheet living roses blow,
Where Nature spreads her richest dyes,
Require the liorrow'd gloss of sit .
Speak not of fate—sh f—change the theme,
And tack of odours, talk of wine.
Talk of the flowers that round us bloom ;
'Tis all a dead, 'tis all a dream
To love and iov thy thoughts confine,
Noe hope to pierce the sacred gloom.
Beauty has such resistless power,
That even the chaste Egyptian dame
Sigti'd for the blooming Hebrew boy I
For her how fatal was the hour,
When to the banks of Nilus came
A youth so lovely and so coy.
But ah ! sweet maid, my counsel hear.
(Youth should attend when those advice
Whom long experience renders sage.)
While music chanus the ravish'd ear,
While sparkling cups delight our eyes,
Be gay, and scorn the frowns of age.
What cruel answer have I hard !
Anal yet, by Heaven. I love thee still :
Can aught be cruel from thy lip?
Yet say, how fell that bitter word
From lips which streams of sweetness fill.
Which nought but drops of honey sip ?
Go boldly forth my simple lay,
Whose accents flow with artless ease,
Like Orient pearls at random strung ;
Thy notes are sweet, the damsels say
But, oh ! t is sweeter. if they please
The nymph for whom these notes are sung.

the fate of Galileo, they prefixed the following declara-
tion:—" Newton, in his third book, adopts the opinion of
the earth's motion round the sun ; the propositions of this

the decrees of the Roman Pontiff, which declare that the

Salt works are upon the increase in Worcestershire; new

others are in progress between Ripple and Tewkesbury,

in which are Quakers. The price of salt has lately ad-

Report .
The Weekly L deem
A incumbent upon them, me Governors and
diabscribets in general, to draw op a correct authentic statement
litHiets, in regard to certain inquests held in the course of the pre-
Sent year, before the Deputy-Coroner for Westminster, the reports
of which appear to them calculated to excite a prejudice in the
minds of the Public against the mode In which the affairs of that
Hospitel are conducted.
• The Weekly Board daunt flatter themselves that they hare at
all times been able to avoid errant in the management of an insti-
tution of so great extent ; but they appeal to the numerous sob.
ectelbera, who are joined with them in supporting this valuable
dimity, and to the pohlie at large, whether any instance of such
errors has come to their knowledge, which, if reported to the
Weekly Board, has not been immediately redressed ; and they
%ether confidently appeal to all who have had opportunities of
conversing with patients who have been in St. George's Hospital,
whether they have not uniformly found them satisfied with the
kindness and attention which they hid there experienced.
The Weekly Board can, on their parts, declare, that they have
devoted their time to the hositteas of the hospital, solely in the hope
of forwarding the objects of the charity by their attention, even more
effectually than by their pecuniary contributions; and that they
have endeavoured to carry into effect every measure which they
thought likely to promote the comfort and welfere of the patients.
They further declare, that they hare not only been ready to listen to
complaints, but that they have done all in their power, even where
hone have been made, to discover if any grounds for them existed.
With this view they have, at ercir of *their meetings, particularly
ergot-toted those who were leaving the hospital to state to the
Board, if they were fully satisfied with the treatment they had re.
eeireA, or had on any occasion, either met with 'or observed the
lightest degree of imktnnees or neglect. At the end of every three
months. also, a special examination or review of the patleots then
fd the hospital takes place, of which hotice is sent to all the Gu-
ymon. On these occasions, the different wards are carefully in-
&porta._ and strict inquiry is made into the state of each inuivi-
dd. The nurses are then directed to withdraw, and in the absence
of ltbe officer' of the establishment. the patients are urged to coin.
Mandate any cause of complaint which may have occurred to them,
either in regard to their medical attendance, their provisions, or
their general treatment; and are particularly questioned as to the
attention and kindness of the nurses.
The Weekly Board can therefore fairly assert, that they have.
to the utmost, exerted themselves to prevent, and to detect abuses ;
and where they have found, as they almost universally have, tt.:
objecta of their bounty not only contented, but grateful, they were
not, they Deafest; prepared for the serious charges lately brought
against an institution, the duties of which they believe to be so
osnocientiously discharged, that it may at all times challenge the
strictest investigation.
They trust. however, that a plain statement of the grounds on
which these charges rest will fully satisfy the public mind of their
Injustice, and secure to St. George's Hospital a continuance of that
liberal sirpprirt, which the daily inereasing demands upon it, and
the necessity for a new and considerably enlarged building, so es-
austially require.
This statement is male under the Mduence of no angry feelings.
They are willing to believe, that those by whom the clamour scot
first excited, while they laboured under a misconception, were not
influenced by any unworthy motives ; and it will be seen that the
Weekly Board have abtained, 'snatch as was in their power, from
introducing any observations, or alluding to any topics, which
might (give to this document the appearance of an attempt at re-
mioninetiou.
The cases of Wheeler, Hammond, Dawkins, and Tay-
lor, which have attracted to much public attention, arc
then stated at length, accompanied by explanations and
comments which do certainly vindicate the Hospital from
the imputations which appearances in the first instance
coenaed too fully to warrant. The Report concludes in
abase words:—

The Weekly Board have, in the preceding pages. given a per-
fectly correct, and they hope also, a plain and impartial statement
cf all :he circumstances connected with St. George's Hospital, to
which the public ittention has of Lite been so much directed ; and,
in concluding it, they can pos:tirely assert, that every thing which
they have there advanced, has been substantiated by evidence the
most complete and utistictory.
The repeated attacks which have been made upon that Hos.
pital, have, in their opinion, rendered such a statement neesseary ;
and they feel assured it will convince every unprejudiced mini how
entirely unjast these attacks have been, and upon how little foun-
dation so much clamour has been raised.
It is the wish of the Weekly Board, and they know It to be that
also of all the Governors and Subscribers, to allow every suitable in.
dulgence, and affixd every attention and kindness to the suffering
individuals who come recommended to them for relief. They will
continue to use their very best exertions for the attainment of these
objects, and for carrying into effect the valuable purposes of so
noble an institution ; and they earnestly entreat all who join
with them in contributing to Its support, to judge of their suc-
cess, and of the mode it which its affairs are conducted, not from
vague reports, but by visiting the Hospital, or inquiring of the pa-
-1 tients themselves, what is the treatment which they have received
within its walls.

That the reputation of St. George's Hospital st;nds high with
three for whose benefit it is inetituted, the Weekly Board have
abundant proofs, In the numerous applications which are coati.
nosily made to them for admission into it; applications so Ear be-
yond what the present Hospital has the means of accommodating.
that two out of three are ofiennecessarily rejected. On a late occa-
sion, they received the public testimony of two individuals, distin-
guished for their liberal support of different charities.* that they
had found among the poor, the
.strongest preference given to St.
George's over every other Howie!. The Vs'eekly Board are
aware how muob attention is required to maintain this diameter,
especially where the building itself is so ill•adapted for ventila-
tion, and so deficient in many important respects. These objec-
tions they hope soon to see removed, by. the liberality of the public;
and, in the meantime, they entreat all those Governors, whose avo-
cations will permit, to join them in a vigilant superintendence of
this most useful Institution.

DERBY ift:SICAL FESTIVAL.

The Derky Mercury gives a very detailed account of the
triennial musical festival in that town, and the balls which
followed, on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday lut. It
is liberal in its praise of the vocalists and others profes-
sionally engaged, but clones in the following manner :
We regret that we are not able to announce a larger surplus for
the funds of the Infirmary, than, from present appearance, to likely
to remain. It is impossible accurately to state the amount, as the
accounts have not been fully matte up ; but there is reason to ap-
prehend that not mom than about five hundred pounds will he
cleared by the festival. We remember that after the last meeting
of this kind, several of the Patrons who could not attend sent in li-
beral contributions, even after the accounts were closed. If this
should now be the case, of course all such donations must be added
to rite profits of the festival. The net proceeds of our last Music
Meeting were about one thousand pounds, and the cause of the
present comparative failure is to be found, not so much in the di-
minished receipt as in the increased expenditure. It is true that
neither the sale of tickets, nor the benefactions at the doors of the
Church, have been so productive as they were in lin; and the ex-
penses of the Orchestra have been much greater. We cannot but
think that the terms demanded by the principal rood and instru-
mental performers exorbitant, and we fear they will have an inju-
rious influence in repressing Oratorio performances for charitable
purposes. This would be a matter of just regret, for Musical Fes-
tivals at stated intervals are important. no: only as thus applied,
but they have also a great tendency to keep alive and to increase a
taste for one of the fine arts, the state of which Is at the same time
