NORITICH CSI CAL

The Mozart clement was very strong on Wednes •
day night's concert, and appeared to give much
gratification to the audience, which was a tolerably
good one so far as the body of the hall and the
galleries were concerned, although there were many
empty chairs in the space reserved for "patrons,'
who have the privilege of paying a double admis-
sion price. The Moz trtian selection comprised a
serenade for two principal violins, viola, and contra-
basso, accompanied by violins, violas, violoncellos,
and tympani. The serenade was composed by
Mozart in 1776, at Salzburg. An unpublished auto-
graph manuscript, No. 239 in Dr. L. Von Kochel's
catalogue, in possession of Signor A. Randegger,
was kindly lent to the committee—of course " for
this occasion only." The second part of the concert
opened with the " Der Freischutz" overture, which
was followed by a selection of light trifles—
French, English, and Italian—which so delighted
the auditory that several encores were called for,
the concert being thus protracted to about half-

past eleven.
Yesterday morning was devoted to a sacred can-
tata, " A Song of Praise," composed expressly for
the festival by Mr. Horace Hill ; Rossini's " Messe
Solennelle," performed for the first time out of the
metropolis, by permission of the directors of the
Royal Italian Opera ; and Handel's Dettingen "Te
Deum," composed in 1774 to celebrate the conclu-
sion of peace in that year. The instrumental intro-
duction of Mr. Hill's cantata opens with passages
of a recitative type, in which the solo phrases are
assigned principally to the oboe and clarionet. The
allegro moderato is of a fugal character. The sub-
jects of the first chorus are of the cathedral model.
After a brief choral recitative comes a pleasing
quartet, "He is blessed ;" this is followed by an
aria for baritone, " While I live will I praise the
Lord," in the minor music. The next number is a
duet for soprano and tenor, " Sing unto God ;"
while the following movement for five-part chorus,
mixed with soli passages, serves as an introduction
to the final chorus in B flat, in which tonic, with
its adjacent keys, the work is laid out. The work
is considered a meritorious one as a whole.

The attendance yesterday morning presented an

improvement upon that of Wednesday morning.
The hall was not altogether full, but the patrons
showed in considerable force. Among those pre-
sent were Lady Milman, Sir S. Bignold, Mrs.
Lacou, the Earl of Albemarle, Col. Fitzroy, Capt.

Few ailments are more disheartening, and none more
ominous, than ulcerations on the surface of the body.
W herever they are situate it is difficult to cure them unless
treated judiciously with some cooling, healing, invigorat-
ing application like this never-failing ointment. It has
worked wonders in making bad legs sound and strong,
even when the power of the blood-vessels had nearly been
destroyed, and almost entire stagnation of the circulation
had rendered every other curative means abortive. No
sore, wound, or ulcer can withstand its healing influensce,
which can be most beneficially exerted when winter is
giving place to spring, and the circulation becoming mo re
active and more easily controllable by proper purifying,
soothing, and strengthening agents.
