THE INSTRUMENTAL VOCALISTS
Yesterday afternoon we visited the Ilaymarket
Theatre, and witnessed the remarkable
performance
of
four Hungarian brothers, who have recently arrived in
the metropolis. Auber, the greatest of French com-
posers, has heard them, Berlioz has heard them, his
Mak.sty Lt.uis Philippe has heard them, so has our
gracious Sovereign Queen Victoria, and so also have
thousands in Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, and
various other parts of the continent. Every one has
bean amazed, every one has been enraptured; and we
can now mention ourselves as among the number. It is
utterly impossible to convey any notion whatever of the
eff et of these singular artistes by a mere description,
even though we wrote as vividly as Buffon. They are
Hungarians by race, broth( ra by blood, and gifted to an
almo,t miraculous extent by nature. Their names are
\V is, Z..rer, Schwartz, and Grunzwag. Two of these
extraordinary men are cacable of imitating the horn, the
hautboy, the trumpet, the cornet-a-piston, the violin,
and the violineplio, with their Fps alone. No mere
ventriloquial tricks, no mere vocal eccentricities—these:
but perfect musical instruments formed by a peculiar
adaptation of the lungs, the thorax, the uvula, the
muscles of the cheeks, the tongue, the teeth, and the
lips of human beings. It is something perfectly mar-
velous to observe the glibness, the distinctness of into-
nation, the volume, and the delicacy with which these
Hungarian minstrels execute quartets and trios ; the
rapidity of the chromatic passages, the fulness of tone,
and the pathetic sentiment thrown into their strange
concerted pieces. Now it is the mellow warbling of the
hautboy, now it is the rich resonance of the trumpet,
now it is the dazzling notes of the violin, and now it is
the melodious tone of the cornet-a-piston. The
nationality of the Hungarians distinguishes in a peculiar
manner the performance of these brothers ; and their
picturesque appearance on the stage of the little Hay-
market, dressed as chasseurs, completes the illusion that
we are listening to the bugles and the songs of huntsmen
in a northern forest.

SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 11.—The Oriental Company's
steam-ship Erin, Captain J. S. Russell, arrived in the docks
this morning, and landed her mails. The cargo of the Erin
consists of silks, opium, wool, Indian corn, sponges, yellow
berries, and nuns; in all 350 tons, and 57 passengers. Tte
Erin, on the 4th instant, saw several vessels, outward. bound,
in ballast, for the Mediterranean ports, and several wind and
homeward- bouna, in Gibraltar. On the 4th instant, at nine
V. 51, passed the Montrose, Captain Burney, steaming off
Cape St. Vincent, outward-bound, with Peninsular mails.,
At Constantinople the shipping was very numerous, most of
it in ballast, bound up the Black Sea ter grain, being de-
tained by contrary winds. The Din for most part of the
voyage experienced head winds and stormy weather. The
Great ‘Vestern steamer will leave tills port on the 2d proximo,
with the West In:tia and Mexican mails. And the new ship
belonging to the Oriental Company, named the Jupiter, will
take out, it is expected, -the Peninsular mails on the I ith
instant. She made an experimental trip yesterday, to the
satisfaction of her owners.

ATTEMPT TO POISON A FAMILY.—BURY ST. ED-
muND's, TUESDAY.—The family of a wheelwright, named
Rouse, consisting of himself, his wile, and two sons and
two daughters, residing in Eastgate-street, in this town,
have nearly fallen victims to an attempted murder by poi-
son, and soon after were all seized by violent sickness,
which, on medical assistance being called in, was found to
be the result of poison. Yesterday, however, all of them
were so far restored as to be able to leave their beds fur a
short time, except the eldest daughter, whose recovery is
much doubted. In a few days au investigation will be gone
into by the magistrates, so soon as the case is in a sufficient
state for inquiry.
ROYAL it•OUTII LONDON DISPENSARY.—The 26th
anniversary festival of this charity took place yesterday at
the Albion, Aldersgate.street. His Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge in the chair. About 70 guests sat down
to a dinner provided in excellent style by Messrs. Staples.
His Royal Highness, proposing the toast of the evenine.,
" Success to the Charity," dwelt upon its usefulness, and
pressed its claims on public support. Since its establishment
37,000 persons had been relieved, the largest number of pa-
tients in one year being 4,904. During the past year the
state of the funds circumscribed the usefulness of the charity,
as the wants of the neighbourhood were augmenting with the
population. Mr. Galsworthy, the honorary secretary, in the
course of the evening announced subscriptions to the amount
of 3501. The party was a most social and agreeable one, and
great credit is duet() the conductors of the festival for their
excellent arrangements. Mr. Toole was toastmaster, and
discharged the duties of that important office in a very ef-
fective manner. The musical departMent was under the di-
rection of Mr. T. Cooke, who was ably supported by the
Misses Williams, Mr. Bench, and other vocalists.
TUB LAW ASSOCIATION.—Yesterday afternoon, at
three o'clock, the annual general court of the members of the
Law Association. which is established for the benefit of
widows and families of professional men in the metropolis
and its vicinity, was held at the hall of the Incorporated
Law Society, Chancery-lane ; Mr. I'. J. Burgoyne, a director, in
the chair, to receive the report, and elect officers for the en-
suing year. Mr. T, Murray, the secretary, read the report,
which stated, that since the establishment of the Association,
in 1817, above 15,000/. had been appropriated to the families
of members of the profession, and the fund amounted to
20,0001. A donation of 100/. had been received from Mr.
William Tidd, the author of " Tidd's Practice." There had
been received 1,428/. 18s. 3d., in which were included
589/. Is. annual subscriptions, and 121/. 16s. life subscrip-
dons. After paying all expenses, there was a balance in
hand of 1801. 13s. The report was received, and eight
directors were elected, in the room of those going out by
rotation; and, as there had been only five new members, a
resolution was agreed to, authorising the directors to adopt
some steps to make the benefits of the society better known
among the profession.
The late lamented Mr. Youatt, in one of his orations
to the members of the Veterinary College, observes—" That
by the improvements in the modern chemistry, the medical
profession are enabled successfully to treat diseases which
were previously supposed as not within the reach of medi-
cine." This truth has been manifested for manyyears, but
in no instance of greater importance to mankind than by
the discovery of Blair's Gout and Itheumatic Pills. •
