MIL ITITIILENFELDT'S MUSICAL SOIREES,—The pro-
gramme of the last of Mr. Muhlenfeldt's series of soirFes
musicales exhibited no less goad taste and classical zeal thanota
was shown on former occasions. The principal instrumental
by
pieces were Hummel's septuor in D minor, executed
31essrs. Muhlenfeldt, Ribas, Grattan Cooke, Jarrett,
by Muhlenfeldt and Rousselot. Both were
West-
lake, Rousselot, and Reinagle ; and MendelssoadbmiesiradbuloyienxDe:
ne of the ented. Beethoven's sonate cayactaristiqu
h iin l inter-
preted
se-
verestsentiment--
the lingering
btyes%ar.pianist can submit to—was
the lingering reluctance of the farewell, the impetuous and
Muhlenfeldt. Each variation
passionful return, and the musing pensive character of the
absence—was expressed with truth and delicacy. Two fan-
tasias —one of his own composition, the other Thalberg's—
on .Massaniello motives were also executed by the Nue-
ficiaire, and in both cases the player's merits consi-
derably exceeded those of the composer. most im-
portant feature of the evening was the debut of Made-
moiselle Rummel. Her voice is a soprano, clear and
brilliant throughout its compass, which is of extraordinary
extent. Joined to this the flexibility and neatness of her
execution, the light and shade of her expression, will in-
fallibly make her one of the prominent stars of the present
concert season. The pieces executed by her were the finale
to the Sonnambula, and a Tarentella and Tyrolean air by
Rossini. In the first of these she was greeted with an en-
thusiastic encore. Another debutant made his appearance,
llerr Kleine, who sang an aria from °tell° with considerable
force of lung. Miss Dolby and Miss Rainforth were also
among the vocalists. The former executed a charming lied
by Mr. Muhlenfeldt. The exquisite perfection of the fair
vocalists' execution, as well as the beauty of the melody,
drew a rapturous encore from the audience. Miss Dolby's
rich and liquid organ, guided by so much true feeling, was
also heard to the highest advantage in Haydn's fine cantata,
" Arianne a Naxos." Another ballad by Mr. Muhlenfeldt
was intrusted to Miss Rainforth, and was charmingly deli-
vered by her. Mr. Weiss and Mr. Seguin also added effica-
ciously their talents towards the entertainment of the even-
ing. The conducting department was intrusted to the good
taste and high musical ability of Mr. Henry Boys. Alto-
gether nothing could redound more in every way to the
credit of Mr. Muhlenfeldt than the whole arrangements of
the soiree.

SUICIDE IN THE SERPENTINE THROUGH AN INCUR-
ABLE DISEASE.—Late last evening a long inquiry took
place before Mr. Bedford, the coroner, at the Rising Sun
Tavern, High-street, Knightsbridge, on the body of John
Taylor, aged thirty-five years, lately residing at No. 10,
Cross street, Golden-square, who committed su►cide. John
Price, a young man who lodged with the deceased, stated
that the deceased had been in a desponding state of mind for
the last four months, arising from a disease of the skin, and
always seemed in great pain. Witness had often beard him
say that no person on earth suffered so much pain as he did.
He bad applied to all the principal physicians in London
respecting the disease under which he laboured, but none
seemed to do him any good. He was a very sober, steady
man, and very saving. He said in August last that
" Drowning was a very easy death, but laudanum would be
a much more preferable death." On the 11th of August
witness found him in bed vomiting very severely. Witness
asked hint what he had taken, and he said that he had taken
sixpennyworth of laudanum. A surgeon was called in who
applied the usual means, and he recovered. Some time
since the deceased gave witness a letter which he begged he
would not open until something happened to him. Since the
deceased's death witness had found another letter, which re-
sembled the first. It was directed to witness, and chiefly re-
ferred to some money and property, which he directed to be
shared among his brothers and two children. The letters
terminated by stating " that his life was a burthen to him,
and he was unable to bear tip against his troubles." The
jury, after a few minutes, returned a verdict, " That the de-
ceased destroyed himself while in a state of temporary ia-
ggaity, torinht va by dieta"'"
