away. The poor patient, now quite exhausted, we
fear has not spirit ■nd strength to undergo the
operation ; and as the disorder admits of no other
cure•. a few days of miserable existence are all
that remain. The case being, therefore, desperate,
his best and aii.cerest friends now ardently hope
that he may be slam released from his suffering.; a
hope in which they are cor.iiiiily joined by every

WORCESTER MUSIC xsarixd.

mum) DAY--0111111111DAY.

The performances of the second morning corn-
measced with the recitatives, airs, and atomism*, la
the first pencil' the celebrated Oratorio, Tie crea-
tion." Those who have onlyheard this moat exquirite
production of the great Haydn, within the hunts
of • theatre, will hardly be able to form au idea of
its effect beneath the lofty roofs of a spacious
cathedral. The trio and atoms " The Ifeatams
declare," with which the act is concluded, had iu
it, even from the very place in which it was per..
formed, something so grand and sublime, that this
imagination might easily have conceived it to be
such music as will be beard in a higher Mate of •
felicity. Of the airs and recitatives, so often he.
teamed to with pleasure in the metropolis, it cannot
be necessary to make particular mention: Every
one, referring to the names of the principal 'Wivs
'who have lent their aid to this Charity, will know
they must have been sung in a way which would
have gratified their Author, if, happily, be could
have been present. The Overture to Saniptim in-
troduced a selection from the works of Handel ; in
which " Deeper and deeper still," awl." Waft her
Angels," by Mr. Brahmin, mud " Farewell ye lim-
pid Streams," by Mrs. Billington, were the most
conspicuous. With regard to the latter, it seemed
as if the hearers could have listened to the delight-
ful strains

" Frost ;nom to moan, horn noon to dewy eve."
The Concert, in the evening, NI the College.
hall, opened with Mosait's grand overture to
the opera of " The Zauherflote." It is the hued
overture that ever Caine troth that eminent cons.
poser. There is not a *symphony of Haydn's that
exude it. It was executed in a very spirited style.
The glee, " la the merry etoece of splay," by Mrs.
Billisigton, Mr. Goss, Mr. Vaughan, rind Mr. Bor.
Homan, was much applauded ; it was • most ea.
livening subject, and was charmingly sung. The
recitative and air, " Grazaa al trade," by Mrs. 13il-
lington. was her Isrincipal effort this evening: this
is the air in the serious opera ofSeruirmaide, in which
Catalani was wont to be so much admired. It lust
nothilig or its effect by the execu'inn of Mrs. 1.311-
brigtois ; and, certainly, if there was a comention
between these two ladies. which was etatit:tel to the
preference, and dos was to be the song fur tr:i rug
their respective merits, the judges would be divid-
ed, and the victory would remain in suspctise. A
very beautiful quartet. 00 Toni ae dir," by Mrs.
Bislington, Mrs. Vaughn', Mr. BralsanWand Mr.
Eartlemase, was introduced: it was in manuscript;
and, it seems, was composed for Mrs. Millington.
by Signor Nicoliiii, at Milan. It was a first-rate
compaction of the kind, and was heard with rep.
tare. There were many other delightful airs and
glees ; it would he tedious to advert to them all;
but the hen was" Mad lieu," by Mrs. Billingtoo.
It was wonderfully well sang, sad was, like the
former air, received with plaudits of long confine.

" Death of Abercrombie," by I.lr Brsthson every
note went to the heart; It was unanimously encored
In the course cf the evening there was • concerto
ou the clarionet, by Mr. Mahon—end another on
the bassoon, by Lr. Holmes; they were both played
in a very masterly marine!.
The Concert Room was this evening filled to its
utmost capacity, but the company were not quite
so select as on the preceding evening; the lathe,
were, however, very superbly dressed, itt least sc.
cording to the notion which appears to prevail in
this pert of the world. The belles here do not. as
in the Metropolis, set off their beauty by a judicious
combination of ornament, in which simplicity and
neatness are studied ; they have no idea of elegant
simplicity of dress; hurry is their sole object. rod
thus they are covered from head to foot with tin.
gelled muslin*, gilt flowers, heavy satins, spangles.
beads, and other superfluous and gaudy appen.
rlse,es, which dazzle, without plea,iiie, the eye.--.
