NEW MUSIC.

Ne'er Think that Ti! Forget Thee. 'And must We then
its Silence Meet? The Words and Music by Mrs. Gilbert
A'Beckett.—These very pleasing songs;-(hough some-
what trite in their titles, have' se freshness-'-of sentiment
about_them that should not be overlooked.. The words
are particularly harmonious, and are rendered doubly so
by the very pensively graceful airs. to..which they are
arranged. The following ones also—Do, not Smile,
and /t is o'er, that Happy Dream. The word' of the
former by J. D. Douglas, Esq., and of the latter by Bertie
Vyse, Esq., both set to music by Mrs. Gilbert A'Beckett
—are in every way worthy of their fakcomposer, com-
bining as they do suavity with spirit; and tenderness
with vigour. Do not Smile is a chinning ballad, full
'of grace and 'meaning. -
Of the Erinnerung an Berlin and Berbstblumen
Waltzers, it needs only to be announced that they are
the productions of Joseph Labatt( v. •
A series of ballads. entitled Home; Gift Songs, the
poetry by F. W. N. Bayley, E.q and the music by
eminent composers, happy in the cheige of subjects and
versatile in style, forms a very unique offeriug for do-
mestic circles. Thee songs are all More or less cheer-
ful, adapted to voices of moderate compass.
The numbers of the Musical Treasury sustain un-
flaggingly their character of judicious miscellanies."
The selection is so choice and varied-as to suit every
taste, from the graeest to the gayestarem the invidious
to the must n flective. Among the-recent parts it has
been quite a little musical feast to meet with " The
Happy Change," by Henry Russell; " The Cry from the
Courts," written by our old established favourite, E. L.
Blanchard; also, comp( s..d by " The Chorus
Wabz " from Le Prophete; " TiLts. Old Ann Chair;"
" There's Room enough for All," Ste.i :So., &e. " Cheap-
ness" sod " worth" are seldom (!iuhd together, but in
this delightful serial we certainly 'possess the coveted
combination. It has comtnerided and progressed
auspiciously, a•ld merits universal support.
Sleep Lady mine; or, the World'iif Dreants.' Sung by
Mr. Lockey, Written by E. L. Banchard, Esq. Com-
posed by James hove.—E!egaried said tendaraess aro the
prevailing characteristiea ot this iseirenade. The words
are essentially poetical, full of!aisveet thoughts, and
" love's golden measure." Mr. .Iwe has, moreover,
caught the ardour of the poet, and "wreathed each page
with the roses of cnmposition,
The Emblem of Peace. The Poetry (suggested by the
present of a Dove to the Queen in Dublin) by E. L.
Blanchard. The Music by.: Ilizs Lovell Phillips.
The Watchword of Progress, " G 6 on," also by the above.
—The spirit ot loyalty and enthuhiann infused into these
ballads cannot fail to attract the idebiration of the many.
The themes are happily selected; 'l2'fippily versified, and
happily arranged.
