DEATH OF E RAGoNETTI.

We regret to announce the decease: of this celebrated
double-bass performer" who expired at his house in Leicester-
square, on Thursday afternoon. Count Pepoli, the Italian
poet; Mr. Novelle, Mr. Piggott, and M. Tolbecque were
with the musician during his last moments He was a Vene-
tian by birth, and was born in 1764 or 1762, for Dragonetti
wan never positive about the date. His father was also a
contra-basso. At nine years of age Domenico began to play
on the guitar. He then t tudikd the violin, and at twelve years
old began to play on the double bass, to the amazement et the
whole city. lie practised n tech with Mesttino, the famous yio
liniet, and at thirteen Dragonetti was nominated prima basso
at the Opera Buffa. At fourteen he was promoted to the same
position at the Grand Opera Syria, at San Beiletto. At eighteen
he was engaged in the chapel of San Marco, performing at
concerts the violoncello parrs on the double bass. He then
went to Vicenza, where he purchased his well-known Anted
double bass. From Vicenza he visited Padua, Atter which
he was offered an engagement, as principal contra-basso, at
the King's Theatre in this country, in which he remained
up to his death. Dragonetti was eccentric in his habits, but
had an ardent attachment for his art. His conversation was,
curious and amusing, from the strange mixture of French,
Italian, and Eeglish words. He was most punctual and
honourable in his engagements. For thirty years he and his
colleague Lindley were always the first to take their places
in an orchestra. Dragonetti kept his beloved instrument
as close to the stage-door of the Opera-house as pos-
sible, in order that it might be saved in the event of a fire.
As a performer he was the greatest executant ever known.
He was the Paganini of the double bass. His wonderful
power of keeping an orchestra together and sustaining singers
was not the least of his gifts. The conformation of his
hands was particularly favourable for his mus'cular power.
A periodical has supplied some anecdotes of interest ;
" Dri.gotietti was full of anecdote. The account of his first
introduction to Beethoven was highly characteristic. When
the impetuous German put before him a violoncello accom-
paniment to some piece, displaying' a lOrest of 'lutes,' at the
completion of the perfirrmance he jumped up from the piano
and embraced him. Also his accompanying Mrs. Siddons in
a song at Mrs. Darner's, the sculptress. Her musical decla-
mation, he said, was unpractised—unprofessional, but it was
in character with her acting. Her tones were deep, solemn,
breathing and majestic. When Dragonetti first visited Parift,
he carried with him letters of introduction from Viotti to
Cherubini and Gretry. He called upon the former, who was
from home, and then proceeded to Gretry'e residence at
Montmorency. In the course of conversation Gretry asked
his visit or in what quarter of Paris he had taken his lodg-
ings, and then contrived to have all Dragonerti's effects re-
moved to his house. ' Friends must not part thus,' said he;
while you remain in France you must consider my house
your home.' " A " Complete Sj Atom of Doubleßass,"written
by Drag.netti, was destroyed unfortunately in a fi-e. His

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
The high estimate formed by the public during the ten years
WILLIAM S. DURTON'S (late RIPPON and BURTON'S) chemi-
cally purified material has been before it (made into every useful and
ornamental article usually made is silver, possessing, as it does, the
charaCteristic ptuity and durability et silver), has called into exist-
ence the deleterious compounds of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver,"
and other so-called substitutes ; they are at beat bad imitations of
the genuine articles manufactured and sold only by him.

NICKEL ELECTRO-PLATED.—The REAL NICKEL SILVER,
introduced and made only by WILLIAM S. BURTON (late RIPPON
and BURTON'S), when plated by the patent process of Messrs. El-
kington and Co., is beyond all comparison the very best article, next
to sterling silver, that can be employed as such either usefully or orna-
mentally. In the lengthened and increasing popularity of the ma
terial itself, and the high character of the method of plating, the
public have a guarantee that the articles sold by W. S. Burton (and
by him only) are, as it regards wear, immeasurably superior to what
eau be supplied at any other house, while by no possible test can
they be distinguished from real silver.

Its variety and extent, purchasers are invited to call and inspect it.-

BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIE
_ Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London
dOIIN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en
aeavotirs made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
Make,, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
Publie, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The genee
na appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, far their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but
without same or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many mere without address. Job,*
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
Public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
Purellsoing what they oonceive to be of their make, which they hors
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, conbinues to be prepare-1 by them, and is recom-
namided as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good In all

I wonder at the mighty house of MOSES !
• I wonder at the scene which it discloses.
I wonder at the splendour and extent
Which signalize this vast Establishment,
I wonder at the elegant attire
Which connoisseurs continually admire.
I wonder not that Messrs. MOSES gain
. Public supporters M so vast a train.
I wonder at the cutter's matchless taste,
Fitting and neat and elegantly chaste.
I wonder at the trousers, and I wonder
At MOSES' coats, both over coats and under.
• I wonder at the beauty of the vests,
. On which the gazing eye with rapture rests.
I wonder at the dress for juveniles ;
' I wonder at the new and varied styles.
I wonder at the hats, and think it proper
That MOSES should provide me with a "topper."
I wonder that the price is so much under.
I wonder altogether at the wonder.
