MUSIC.
THE MUSICAL TREASURY.

The new volume of the illusical Treasury is em-
bellished with a full-length portrait of Jenny Lind,
in the character of Andna. In its musical contents
are many of the favourite songs of that celebrated
chanteuse, among others, her admired Swedish
melodies, with the original words in Swedish, and
also with English songs adapted to the music, for the
benefit of persons unacquainted with the Swedish
language. Many of the songs in Robert le Diable and
La Figlia dcl Reggimento are also to be found in the
7 rea,ury,-among others, the famous "Rataplan." The
remaining pieces contained in this volume are of very
diversified character, varying from "grave to gay,
from lively to severe." Poems by Mrs. Crawford,
Charles Mackay, Colley Grattan, and others, set to
music by Henry Russell ; that terrible, thrilling
poem, the " Erl King," by Scott and Goethe ; sacred
music, old ballads, humorous pieces, scotch songs, and
vocal and instrumental music of every variety are
to be met with here. We transcribe the words of one
of the songs, for the benefit of such of our readers as
may not meet with the Musical Treasury :

" LITTLE FOOLS AND GREAT ONES.
" BY CHARES MACKAY.
" When at the social board you sit
And puss around the wine,
Remember though abuse is vile,
That use may be divine ;
That lleav'n in kindness gave the grape
To cheer both great and small;—
That little fools will drink too much,
But great ones not at all.
" And when in youth's too fleeting hours
You roam the earth alone,
♦nd have not sought some loving heart
That you may make your own,
Remember woman's priceless tt orth,
And think when pleasures pall,
That little fools will love too much,
And great ones not at all.
" And if a friend deceived you once
Absolve poor human kind,—
Nor rail against your fellow-men,
With malice in your mind ;
But, in your daily intercourse,
Bemember, lest you fall,
That little fools confide too much,
And great ones not at all.
" In work or pleasure, love or drink,
Your rule be still the same—
Your work not toil, your pleasures pure,
Your love a steady flame ;
Your drink not mad'ning, but to cheer,
So shall your bliss not pall,
For little fools enjoy too much,
But great ones not at all."

DR. JOHNSON'S OPINION OF A CONOR
" Perhaps," said a gentleman, talking to Dr. Johnson
on Church preferments, " after all, a conge delire has
not the force of a positive command, but implies only a
strong recommendation." " Very true, Sir," says John-
son, " but such a strong recommendation as it I shou;tl
throw you out of a three-pair of stairs window, and
recommend you to fall softly to the ground."
Stephen Ford, the old man who was committed for
trial on a charge of being concerned in the will forgery
case which excited so ninth interest in Bath a few
months ago, died, after a lingering illness from age and
infirmity, in the Bath gaol, on Sunday night.--Bath
Chronicle.

111`CAISE.-Up to this time no official communica-
tion has been received as to whether M'Cabe will be
discharged from custody or not. We (Doncaster Ga-
zette) may, however, observe, that in addition to the
declarations Reid has made relative to the innocence of
M'Calse, he recently made another statement in a letter
to the Rev. Edward O'Neil, of Dewsbury, to the effect
that no other person whatever was concerned in the
murder.
RBLIASE OF THE BOT JONES FROM HER MAJESTY'S
SERTICE.—It mill be remembered that the boy Jones,
who on different occasions found his way into Bucking-
ham Palace, and remained there a considerable time,
was disposed of as a sailor in one of her Majesty's
ships. It appears that his conduct has been favourably
noticed, and that he has behaved himself with great
propriety. Some time since his father made an
application to the Lords of the Admit alty that the boy
might be allowed to return home. This request was
acceded to, and he was discharged from the ship
Harlequin, lying at Smyrna, and furnished with a free
passage home. Ile arrived in England a few days ago,
and has now returned to his father, who resides in
Westminster.
A SILVER CRADLE..--It has generally been thought
a great piece of good fortune to be born with a silver
spoon in one's mouth ; but it appears from ancient
records of Liverpool that a child of a Mayor of Liver-
pool born during his mayoralty, is entitled to a still
greater piece of good fortune—a silver cradle. The
present mayor has got an accession to his family, and
hints that he insists on his rights. We wish ho may get
them.—Liverpool Imes'.
