Beethoven, Spohi, Lindpaintner, Hummel, Mendelsshon-

proprietors of that spirited literary and musical periodical,
" The Sunbeam," and will be published in successive numbers
of that already highly popular publication, accompanied by a
metrical translation of the words.
THE RIVER AND THE DESART.—In deference
to the advice given to Miss Pardoe by her intimate friends,
she has published these volumes precisely as they were origi-
nally written. The result of the experiment," says the Atlas'
ought to induce Miss Pardoe, in future, to avoid the ornate
and ambitious style;' for these letters, written without preme-
ditation, are a thousand times more natural, more faithful to
the scenes they depict, and more lively and eloquent than any
of Miss Pardoe's previous publications. If she can only con
trive to write books as she writes letters, she will do more
justice to her own powers than by the most elaborate efforts
at refining and embellishing her subjects. The River and
the Desert' is highly creditable to her, discovering more min'
than any of her former works."
