NEW MUSIC.

Messrs. Boosey and Co. have just published a
variety of new songs, waltzes, which will be cor-
dially welcomed. Amongst the ballads we have a
very pretty one by " Claribel," entitled, " Janet's
Choice ;" and a capital national song, by G. Forbes,
entitled, "When France and England met." The
" Claribel Valse," by C. Coote, is a charming com-
position, and one which will deserve all the popula-
rity it will certainly achieve. " Janet's Choice
Waltz," by Frank Musgrave, is a spirited and
pretty arrangement of the ballad of that name, and
" Nightfall at Sea," a reverie by Virginia Gabriel,
is a tasteful, although brief composition.

DEATH OF A CENTENARIAN.--A widow named
Sarah Englefield has just died at Wokefield, near Read-
ing, at the great age of 101. Her husband was a labouring
man, and she had resided during her whole lifetime in that
neighbourhood. On the occasion of her 100th birthday
last year, Mr. Allfrey, of Wokefield Park, and other gentle-
men, sent her presents of different kinds, and the old lady,
who was of a cheerful disposition, enjoyed her faculties
until the last.

, I BANK 40EBERY.—Property of the value of no
. I less than $300,000 was stolen from the bank in Concord,
• Massachusetts, on the 25th. The theft was effected by
entering the premises with false keys between 1 30 and 2
. o'clock, while the cashier was, as usual, gone to his dinner,
leaving the bank locked up.
THE BISHOP AND THE CATHEDRAL.—We have
heard that there is some misunderstanding between
the bishop and the cathedral authorities on the subject of
his lordship'spreaching there. We believe, though a throne
services Unlessri through
right to occupy
is erected, and has stood for centuries, in the cathedral,
for the accommodation of the diocesan for the time being,

courtesy of the dean and chapter. When Bishop Ellicott
the e
n
came to reside for a time in Clifton in this autumn, as he
did last year, he wrote, as before, to the canon in residence
(the Rev. Canon Girdlestone), asking that he might have
the use of the pulpit on certain Sundays durin his sta
bishop in Bristol. It is reported that the •
gy
bop received an
answer to the effect that it would be inconvenient, and
would derange the present order of things at the cathedral,
t o appropriate any particular days for his appearance
in
the pulpit ; and, altogether, the reply was of so
discouraging
to use Radcliff Church as his cathedral during his
residence atnongst us. Indeed, he gave intimation
to this effect when introducing his sermon at Rodeliff on
Sunday last. The dean, we understand, was cognisant
of Canon Girdlestone's reply, and concurred in it. Report
adds that on Sunday the Bishop, just before afternoon ser-
vice at the Cathedral, went into the Chapter-room, but the
nature of his interview with the capitular authorities was
such that he did not remain for service. If the misunder-

standing be as we:have heard it stated, we regret it,
as the place for the Bishop when in Bristol is the Cathedral,
and every facility should be afforded him for letting the
clergy and the people of the city hear him from the most
appropriate place—namely, the pulpit of the Cathedral.—

is a small profit on the importation of go'd from the

Messrs. Hopwood and Crew, of New Bond-street,
have just made a valuable addition to the music for
the pianoforte by the publication of some very
beautiful compositions, which doubtless will soon
become general favourites. " See the Conquering
Hero Comes," arranged by the brilliant and accom-
plished pianist Kuhe, is a remarkably fine work, full
of effect, and entirely devoid of those unmeaning
difficulties which so greatly disfigure the works of
many modern composers. The arrangement of the
" Hardy Norseman," by this eminent musician, has
long been an unusual favourite with pupils and
professors on account of the extreme taste displayed
in its preparation, and beside this successful effort
we place the work now under notice. "Silver
Moonbeans," also by Kuhe, is another delightfully
melodious composition, marked by all the peculiar
beauties which invariably attend the efforts of this
eminent composer. "I would I were a Bird," by Operti,
is a sweet and telling work, and worthy the highest
commendation. "La Ballerina," and " Souviens
Toi," by Ganz, are each works of undoubted merit ;
and " The Mountain Rose," by Muller, is a grace-
ful and flowing composition. " Helene," by Fabio
Campana !" "Italy," by Coote, and " Sentiments
Poetique," by Incho, are each penned with great
skill and excellence.
