NEW MUSIC BY io DEWDROP."

A new composer of dance music has been re-
vealed to the public by Messrs. it. Cock, and Co.,
of New Burlington-st. IVe have now before us the
latest productions of "Dewdrop" in the shape of
two brilliant waltzes and a Polka-mazurka, the
former being distinguished as the "Apple Blossom "
and " Gossamer." The first composition, " Apple
Blossom," opens with a quaint but enchanting melody,
and eventually a set of delightful waltzes ensue,
each as brilliant and sparkling as a fairy fountain.
"Gossamer" is, if it be possible, still more charm-
ing than the first mentioned ; and it is difficult to
say which is till sweetest composition. As a g
of melody, "Gossamer" is delicious; as musical com-
positions, both are worthy the highest commendation.
The "Mazurka" is also a particularly pleasing contri-
bution to our dance music ; it is one that will
assuredly become a great favourite during the en-
suing season. Messrs. Cocks, the publishers, have
secured in " Dewdrop" a composer who will shortly
become one of the greatest public favourites, and
one whose brilliant effusions bid fair to eclipse even
those of the celebrated composer of the renowned
" Mabel" and " Hilda" waltzes.

SETTLEMENT 01? THE AUSTIO-PRUSSIAN

".:0.:1'1'1ZOY.E1?8Y.

The Eastern, Mulct has a telegram from Vienna stating
that Baron Werther (the Prussian Ambassador there) has
declared to the Vienna Cabinet that the Prussian Govern-
ment regards the late interchange of despatches between
the two Governments as closed, and that Count Beust
has expressed his satisfaction at this declaration, adding
that he hoped it would open those friendly relations be-
tween the two Courts which Austria ro much desires.

The same paper says that the Prussian Cabinet has
recommended the Khedive to hasten his journey to Con-
stantinople in order to settle his differences with the
Sultan.
