THE INSTRUMENTAL VOCALISTS
Yesterday aiiprnuon we visited the llaymarket
Theatre, and witnessed the remarkable perform tnce of
four Hungarian brothers, who have recently arrived in
the metropolis. Auger, the greatest of French com-
posers, has heard them, Berlioz has heard them, his
Majesty Louis Philippe has heard them, so has our
gracious Sovereign queen Victoria, and so also have
thousands in Germaiy, France, Holland, Belgium, and
various otheu. parts of the continent. Every one has
been 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
etfpct 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
almost miraculous extent by nature. Their names are
Weis, Z firer, Schwartz, and Grunzwaff. Two of these
extraordinary men are ,of imitatingh the horn, the
hautboy, the trumpet, capable

nationality of the Hungarians distinguishes in a'peculiar
manner the performance of these brothers ; and their
picturesque anpearance 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.

ATTEMPT TO POISON A FAMILT.—Bun" ST. ED"
MUND'S, TUESDAY.—The family of a wheelwright, named
Rouse, consisting of himself; his wife, and two sons and
two daughters, residing in Eastgate-street, in this town,

eon. 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 tr. be aNe to leave their beds for a
