ORATORIO.

DRORY-LANK
Idst niglft • miscellaneous Oratorio was per-
forinert. at this theatre, under the direction. of
Sir Giontig Smarr. The first Act consisted of
Ai selection from the Metsiok. The second was
thade.u.p of selections chiefly. from Ilitamoasn's
aioarnflef, Wines. The third was • raiscellaneou.
selection of still greater diversity. As the piec.•
were well chosen, is were they no less excellently
performed. The selections from the Messiah
weir embellished with Mozairetr additional in,
compamments, which greatly increased the ei, .
feet of the solos especially the counter-nnior
song, " Oh, Mon that Wiest,' which introduced
a singes of that class (Mr. GOWLDEN) to more
notice than he has hitherto reached. His voice
is thin, as most in loch instances be the case,
but it is well practised, of a good tone, at d
will attain stolidity by further experience. Mr.
GOOLDEN is the nearest reseinhlance to the twee
and nessioer of the late Mr. Goss. A Mr. Bort.to
made his reappearance, hiving been absent, it
seems. since 1811. His voice is a pour boss ;
it was literally overwhelmed by the lightest
accompaniment. The bass song, " Why do the
nations," fell to his lot. He was barely audible in it.
MOZART'S accompaniments are heard to peas
advantage in thus song also; they give it an infect
:of sublime terror. Mr. BRAIIAN sang the opening
iecnative and air with his accustomed grandeur of
execution. He realises the voice of inspiration.
speaking "Comfort to Jernsalesn." Mrs. S4LSION
sail the pastoral recitative, " There were Ihep.
herds." Sze. in a style, the excellence of which
it is difficult to characterize. There is scarcely
any siiiger so perfect in evecution through the
claim compass of voice ; each tune is polished,
and yet her strains are of such liquid inflexion,.
116541 of such unbroken succession, that they le-
senible the falling of streams. In this manner did-.
she sing " Itrjokrereestly," and in the second act,
" trona mighty Kings." But her most striking fret
was au Italian air, wish YArlillions, fum PAESIELLO.
It is well known in the English, having been
adapted (we fear without acknowledgment of its
origin)
.by Mr. PARRY, IO " The voice of her I
love.' Mrs. SALMON was loudly encored in the
latter song. MAADIe. CANVORESE Made her re-
appearance on English boards, aint•_rnas loudly
hailed; she commenced with a beautiful song front
M EYER, in which she was encored with enthusiasm.
She has reached the highest excellence ; best com-
manding power, rare articulation (oft he music as well
as the words), mid deep expression, secure her a
distinguished station in her profession. She teas en.
cored also in a swig of Rossini's. Mr. WOW(
performed a new concerto, written by himself for
the occasion. ft would be useless to describe the
separate movements which it contains. It was, of
course, a masterly composition ; but the manner
of performiug it was most extraordiusiy,
LINDLRY kept up the harmonic serifs in some of
the passages clueing the continuance of several
bars, and maintained at' the sine timer soccer_
lion of 'ipid divisions. He was !third to scarceh
less advantage in Dr. PEPOSCII'S excellent cantata.
" See from the silent grove Alexis flies." But in this
the glory was deservedly shared between the excel-
lence of the obligoto accompaniment and Mr. BRA-
HAM'S tasteful and expressive manner of giving the
song. It was called for again, but apparently from
a consideration of the difficulty of the task, the, aw-
dieser did out persist in their demand. Miss POTEY
smog " Angels ever bright,and fair," very prettily.
•Miss GOODALL sang " Bat thou didst not leave,"
with very go,d street. She also assisted Madame
•CAMPOILESE in the latter duet, from Don Giovanni.
Mr. PONS sod Mr. NELSON were heard to advari-
too in the recitative passages of The Mount of
Olives. A few passages from The Creation were
sung in the third act with very good effect; among
them the splendid chorus of " The Heavens are
telling." Mr. BRAHASI sang " Lather's Hymn."
which, with the chorus, gave such satisfaction, that
they were called for and sung over again. The
beautiful overture to Anacreon, by Cneitunini,
preceded the last act, which concluded with the
Hallelajoh Chorus.—Tise audience were numerous
and fashionable, end the gratification general.—
The house oven flowed at half-price.

A letter from Brighton, dated Jan. 2f4, says.—
" The people of this place are once more happy 40
the presence of their Sovereign. His Majesty,
accompanied by Sir B. Bloomfield, returned to the
Pavilion about half-pest nine o'clock last night.—
A merry peal from the Church bells Soon after made
known his most welcome arrival to the team it is
paid that his Majesty has laboured under • slight
cold in his abseuce, but what remains •f this, we
doubt not, will speedily give way to the salutary
influence of our coast sir. The Princess Ammo,
and the Duchess of Gloucester tire both expeard
to honour this place with their mettles iu the
course of the present week."
