and brass band had been supplied by Mr. Kearns, and were
effective in the extreme. The noble chorus, the composi-
tion of Himmel, had been newly arranged by Mr. Ball, to
some words descriptive of the last judgMent. Himmel is
a writer prized by all sound musicians, and the chorus now
under review is ona of the best specimens of his great and
consummate knowledge of orchestral Writing. I'ergolesi's
fine song in E flat, which has long been familiar to an Eng-
lish audience, under the version " Lord have mercy," ar-
ranged by the late Mr. , Harris, was sung by Labiache.
This singer's extraordinary voice appears to be exquistely
adapted to the prodigious size of the Minster, and his man-
ner is easy and unconstrained.

The Directors, however, did not consult this singer's
schOol of performance, in assigning him this song. Bartle-
man, and after .him Phillips, by. their peculiar cantabile
conception, have made this composition a part of the musi-
cal literature of this country, and the semi-operatic style
of Lablache proved but little grateful to the admirers of
the English school of singing. The execution of " David's
Memento" (or " Lord.remember David"), from " The Re-
demption" of Handel, was the gem of the morning.
The absence of all affectation, all attempt at effort or
exhibition of the singer, was very delightful, and the chaste
style of his ornaments, and exquisite feeling displayed in
his intonation (which was so varied and delicate), excited a
universal thrill throughout the audience.

Mdlle. Grisi's singing of the " Gratias agimus" of Gug-
lielmi would have proved very appropriate in the King's
Theatre ; but the venerable walls of an English Cathedral
is no place for the roulades of the Opera House. Will-
man's obligate accompaniment on the clarionet was beyond
all praise. The quartett,

" Ave verum corpus natum
De Maria Virgine,"
was omitted, as also the fine song of Cherubini, so delight-
fully sung b); Miss Postans at the rehearsal yesterday. Each
were supposed to contain matter too declaratory of " the
real presence" to prove grateful to Protestant ears. We
should have also recommended the Directors to have left out
the last recitative sung by Mrs. Bishop. Such poetry as—
" But bright Cecilia raised the wonder high,
When to her organ vocal breath was given;
An angel heard .
•
And straight appeared,
Mistaking earth for heaven."
The Cathedral was crowded with auditors, and the Pa-
trons'. Gallery contained the highest and most distinguished
characters in this part of the .country. The performance
was not over until a very late hour, and if those yet to conic
are to be similarly attended the receipts must prove such
as to satisfy the most craving of philanthropists.
