THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF BEETHOVEN.
—The long expected " Life and Correspondence " of this
greatest of modern musicians, has at length appeared, in
two volumes, edited by Mr. Moselleles. The early inti-
macy of this gentleman with Beethoven, his diligent study
and admiration of the great master's works, and his well-
known musical talents, alike qualify him for the task he
has here undertaken, and so ably performed. This inte--
esting biography comprises every particular relative to
Beethoven, with which the musical world and the public
generally would desire to be acquainted. His parentage,
his musical education, his early attachments, his produc-
tions, his friendships with distinguished persons, his do-
mestic circumstances, his troubles, his last illness, his
death, are all set forth with great perspicuity. Altogether
this work must be looked upon as a real boon to the mu.
sical world, for independently of the value of the many re-
marks on Beethoven's writings interspersed throughout its
pages, there must be few persons among the vast number
who have listened with delight to his wonderful compo-
sitions, but mutt feel an eager curiosity to be made con-
versant with the many characteristic traits and peculiari-
ties which distinguished this great musical genius.
From T. J. Pettigrew, Esq., Surgeon, F.R.S.,
to Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 3g, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly,
opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William-street, Bank of
England.—" Gentlemen,—l have no hesitation in replying to
your inquiry as to the results obtained by the use of your
improved spectacles; being in the constant habit •f reading and
writing for many hours together by lamp-light, it is but justice to
say, that your newly-invented spectacle lenses have afforded me
the greatest comfort. When I employed the ordinary pebbles, I
never failed to experience in the morning a great irritation in the
eyes. Since I hare used your admirable glasses I sutler from no
inconvenience of the kind. I shall ever feel grateful to my good
friend, Dr. Blundell, for having drawn my attention to the subject.
—Believe me to be your's, very respectfully, 'l'. J. Parriouaw, 8,
Saville-row, Jan. 4, 18:19."—" M. G. Sir Howard Elphinstone begs
leave to say that the Spectacles he has now had some time in use,
have fully redeemed the assurance of the Messrs. S. and B. Solo.
mons as to their excellence, and having found so much comfort and
advantage from their use, far preferable to every other kind of
Glasses which he has been in the constant habit of making use of
for a great number of years.-13, Norfolk-street, Park-lane, the 6th
of November, 1840." The Messrs. Solomons' Operative Voice Con.

at a public assembly is hearel with distinctness.—No connexion with

DUBLIN AND DROGIIEDA RAILWAY.—The
works of this line are proceeding well, and the Share-
holders arc exhibiting increasing confidence. Several of
thou are paying up in advance, the best proof they can
possibly give of their good opinion, and the shortest and
most effectual way of carrying out that opinion to their
own benefit,

DUBLIN.—The Lord Lieutenant has appointed
Vent. the Hon. St. George Gerald Foley to be an Aidr-
de- Camp, from being an extra in succession to Capt. S.
R. Conroy, of the Coldstream Guards, resigned; and
Capt. Francis ,Nlountjoy Martin, of the 2d Life Guard',
has been appointed an extra Aide-do-Camp, v. Foley.
SINGULAR EPITAPH.—A correspondent has
sent us the following epitaph found among the papers of
the late Mr. Coysh, schoolmaster, Topsham. Mr. Coysh
had been for many years in the navy. He was author of
a work on which he much prided himself—" The British
Pronouncing and Self-instructing Spelling-book." The
date of his death is supplied by the Executors :_.
