Commander V. Massinghird, sailed from Rio on the
28th of September with Mr. southern, the British
Minister, and suite, for Buenos Ayres, where she ar-

tinued on board the steamer, but would land on the
Bth it was expected.
The barque Partheon (North American) was lost
near Cape Frio a few days since on her passage from
Liverpool. It is expected she will go to pieces
before anything can be saved, on account of the high
surf.

The Crane packet has not yet arrived.
One of the boys of the Kestrel packet was drowned
off this harbour on the 24th ult.
Exchange on London at 24.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY,

Handel's glorious and sublime oratorio, the Mes-
siah, was performed hero last evening by the
members of the Sacred Harmonic Society for the
second time this season. The audience was even
more numerous than it had been on the previous
occasion, the hall was crammed to suffocation, and it is
not a matter of surprise that such should be the case, for
never has this sublime composition been more sublimely
rendered. Sims Reeves was in splendid ♦oice, and sang
with that true feeling of devotion which is so necessary
to the proper rendering of sacred music. Nothing could be
finer than his manner of rendering the recitative " They
rebuke," with the air immediately following, " Behold
and see." In " Thou shalt break them " he was also
very fine. The other solo singers were Miss Birch,
Miss Dolby, and Mr. H. Phillips. The choruses and
orchestral accompaniments were excellently given. It is
a great treat to all lovers of sacred music to hear the
sublime compositions of Handel rendered as they are by
the members of this society.
