THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 20, 1854.

" The Heather Bell," and " The Merry First of
May." Both of these were sung by Miss Lowe.
They are not beyond the reach of moderate per--
formers, and the music is lively and agreeable.

This is a very graceful and charming composition.
It is soft and melodious, without any of those ela-
borate passages and extended transitions which are
generally found in dance music. This waltz, how-
ever, is equally well suited for a musical perform-
ance, as the hearers cannot fail to be gratified by
the e
willelegance
batlnedss simplicity
which characterise:it.
a favourite with the
musical public.

The Captive. By R. E Best. Jewell and Letch

ford.

The words of this song are striking and original,
which is certainly an uncommon recommendation.
It is simply arranged and easily to be acquired. If
sung with spirit it would be very effective.

This is the first number of a new musical perio-
dical, which is to be continued monthly. It consists
of two pieces, one a solo, and one a duet. This
arrangement will be continued. The poetry is
selected from " The Christian Life," and the music
is composed by G. A. Macfarren. The price is two
shillings and sixpence. It will doubtless find many
subscribers, as familieswho are accustomed to sacred
music will find this periodical supply an existing
deficiency. The two pieces in this number are well
arranged.

Fancy's Dream. The words by Mrs. Hodges, the
Music by G. Hodges, Esq. —The Balmoral
Quadrilles. By G. Hodges. R. Cocks and Co.,
New Burlington-street.

" Fancy's Dream" is a ballad not out of the
reach of ordinary voices, simply and pleasingly
arranged. " The Royal Balmoral Quadrilles " are
lively and spirited ; the time is distinctly marked,
and they are well suited for dancing.

With the few who gathered together, the Handicap
for the Grand National Steeplechase at Liverpool was
the principal topic of conversation. Much was said for
and against it, but the majority of opinions was decidedly
in its favour. Sir Peter Laurie, as was pretty generally
expected, is saddled with the top weight. Miss Mow-
bray's friends, nothing daunted by the impost of 1 Ist
91b, capped to her with a display of confidence which
caused the odds of 200 to 14, laid at the commencement,
to be quickly reduced to 10 to 1. At 12 to 1 upwards
of 1701. were invested in her support, and an offer was
more than once made to bet 5001. she beats anything in
the race. 10 to 1 was taken to 501. about Half-and-
Half. Peter was inquired after, but nothing was done
to give him a place in the subjoined list.
