HEREFORD, Ross, AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY.-
At length there is some prospect that the construction of this
line, which has long been in abeyance, will be proceeded with
forthwith. Contracts have been signed by Mr. Peto, who is
under an engagement to construct the whole line at a cost of
230,0001., of which sum he takes shares to the value of
135,0001. Of the remainder he is to receive 50,0001. in cash,
and the balance in debentures. About 1,000 workmen are to
be set at work immediately. The line will be on the broad
gauge, and worked in connexion with Great Western trains
to and from Gloucester.

The Island of Calypso, an Operatic Masque E. J. Loder.
Excellent as was the band on the first evening of per-
formance, its execution last night was, if possible,
more polished and vigorous still. Both of the over-
tures were magnificently given. In that to Anacreon
the rapid passage of the violins, bursting into a grand
crescendo, was quite a blaze of brilliancy, and wound
up the movement with electrical effect. The piano-
forte concerto by Doctor Wylde was executed by M.
Alexandre Billet with much finish and brilliancy,
which commanded great applause. The great sym-
phony was given with magnificent effect, and the
overture to Zauberjlote was another orchestral
triumph, Herr Reichert was warmly applauded in
his songs, the second of which, a German ballad,
with a curious low choral accompaniment, re-
ceived an encore: Mr. Edward Loder's
masque, The Island of Calypso, was composed
originally fur the National Concerts, but in conse-
quence of their want of success the work Vial not
performed. Mr. Loder has long been known as one
of our most accomplished musicians, and its produc-
tion is therefore an undertaking quite within the
province Of the New Philharmonic Society, which
professes to afford genius the hearing which is denied
it elsewhere. Like The Sleeper Awakened of
Macfarren, it had been prepared with an eye to the
stage. The airs, duetts, and concerted pieces are
connected together by recitatives, in order to give
it the proper continuity when it may be required
for a dramatic purpose. The Island of Calypso
is a truly elegant and artistic production.
It contains a series of exquisite songs. Calypso
has two, one "Hymen chasing love one day," a co-
quettish piece of pleasantry, temptingly arch and
piquant; and the other, a romance, "From mem'ry's
spell I cannot flo," of a more scenic and passionate
character. The tenor airs alloted to Telemachus con-
sist of an invocation to the genii of sensuality, and a
sentimental strain, "Must I say farewell for ever ?"
eminently love-lorn and pathetic. The soprano song
belongs to Eucharis, "Oh, beautiful as the morn," a
soliloquy breathing the sighs of tenderness of devotion.
In the bass songs of Mentor, " Take heed, take heed,
a serpent lies,". and " When youth in pleasure's lap is
sleeping," there is a flippancy hardly consonant with
the dignity of incarnate Wisdom. The concerted
pieces consist of a trio for soprano, contralto, tenor,
delicately playful and insouciant, and a variety of
short choruses sung by the nymphs and fauns of the
island—fifteen pieces in all, the last three constituting
a masterlyfina/e—remarkable for freshness, melodic
beauty, nervous choral writing, and ingenious orches-
tral treatment. The subject is taken from the Tele.
;nape (the dramatis persona being Calypso, Eucharis,
Telemachus, and Mentor), and the libretto of Mr. G.
Soane details the extrication of Telemachus from the
wiles of Calypso by Mentor. Mr. Loder's masque,
produced last night, must be pronounced an unques-
tionably first-rate work. The principal singers were
Mrs. Sims Reeves, Miss Dolby, Messrs. Sims Reeves
and Weiss, who all did their very best. The hallwas
completely crowded.
