BAYARIAN CHAPEL, (Warwick-street, Golden-squareo —lt
being generally known that a grand Te fleunt would be sung
yesterday, in consequence of' the accession of his Majesty the
King of Bavaria to the 'throne, this Chapel was crowded to ex-
cess long previous to the commencement of the service. At the
conclusion of the Mass, which consisted of selections from Mo-
zart and Haydn, a new Te Deum, expressly composed for the
occasion, was executed in a very superior manner by the 11131H-
hers of the choir, among whom we noticed Miss Carew, Mrs.
Bedford, Signora Marinoni, the Misses Dunn, Messrs. T.
Cooke, Bedford, &c. The music. which we understand to be
the composition of Mr. H; G. 14Ixon, the organist 'of the
Chapel, is of a very superior cast, and is quite in character
with the solemn words of praise and thanksgiving it was in-
tended to convey. The Bavarian Ambassador and several of
the Nobility were present'on the-occasion.
Music.—Signor Da BEGNIS entertained a party of friends
last night, at his house in 'Regent-street, and the choice of the
music which was performed on the occasion did ample justice to
to the reputation of the selector. We do not recollect ever hav-
ing heard De Begnis iii finer voice. His powerful bass was
highly effective in several concerted pieces, in which he was as.
sisted by Messrs. Sole Torsi, &e. and the two Misses Cawse and
Miss Cubitt. The-latter young lady appeared to great'adean-
tage in a duet with De Begnis, and, indeed; received the ap-
plause of all present • We were glad to find that Piece', Who
has recently been suffering under a severe mental affliction, was
sufficiently recovered to be able to join in a duet. An -Italian
Nobleman displayed considerable execution on a flute of-singu-
lar construction, having no less than sixteen keys. Pistrucci,
the celebrated improvisator°, gave a specimen of his talents;
and, in noticing die performers who heel contributed to the
evening's amusement, devoted a stanza to the merits of Miss
Cubitt, whoin he particularized as./ a Hioudina. _The company
(amongst whom we noticed Lord Chesterfield, the Hone Henry
Stanhope and Lady, anir several fefuales of distinction), sepa-
rated at a late hour, highly gratified With their musical treat.
