EXETER HALL.—Last night the Sacred Harmonic
Society rehearsed, in the smaller hall of this establishment,
the oratorio of " The Resurrection and Ascension," composed
by Mr. Elvey, organist to the Chapel Royal Windsor. This
Work is, of its kind, very short—not occupying more than an
hour in performance. It is a masterly production, although
not marked by originality of style, but breathing the spirit of
the combined Handel and Mozart. In no respect does it incur
the censure of dull imitation, vigour and spirit pervading it
from first to last. The few airs which it contains are sirrple
and expressive, while its choruses are powerful and frequently
grand. It was well executed on this occasion, reflecting much
credit on the Society fur its advancement in both vocal and in-
strumental skill. Further remark we must reserve for the
Performance of the oratorio in the great hall.
ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The author of the
successful farce, M.P. for the Rotten Boronyh, Mr. Mark
Lemon, last night produced another " new original farce,"
CL
lleed The Grey Doublet. The piece was got up with great
,r. ...reflecting credit on the management and the manager,
great'Baker, who personated the good-humoured monarch with
_ success. His efforts were well seconded by his page,
Burnett, who was encored in a pleasing new ballad by
r Romer. Simon Bung is among the quaintest of
`Pron's personations. Miss Poole made an engaging little
Page,_ and sang a sprightly ballad very effectively.
