THE MAESTRO.—The Maestro, of which the first
number has just reached us, is a new weekly musical periodi-
cal, started for the purpose of emulating the numerous musi-
cal journals of Paris, on which " such artists as Berlioz, Fetis,
Theodor 6 Labarre, &c. are employed." It will offer "at the
same moment a teacher to the student, and a critic to the
artist." The number contains a great mass of musical intelli-
gence, some well written musical criticism, and the com-
mencement of an art novel, called " the New Soprano." The
supplement to the number will secure it a wide circulation,
as it consists of a ballad, " Brighter days will soon appear," the
music of which is by the Russian harpist, Nicholas de Witte,
and a new quadrille by Musard on themes from Persiani's
" Fantasma." The work is well got up ; the music especi-
ally is admirably printed.
NEW REGULATION IN GRANTING SUMMONSES.—
Yesterday (Friday) Mr. Hall, the Chief Magistrate at Bow-
' street, issued an order that all complaints for a summons
which shall in future be made at the police-court, should be
sworn on oath by the parties. This is in accordance with
the opinion of Mi.. Justice Patteson, lately expressed' in the
Court of Queen's Bench. Up to the present time the sum-
monses have been granted on the mere statements of the
parties.
DEPUTATION TO THE ITOME-OFFlCE.—Yesterday
a deputation of manufacturers extensively engaged in the
cotton trade, consisting of Messrs. Thomas Ashton of Hyde,
Henry Ashton of Turton, John Whittaker and George
Hi,rinbottom of Ashton-under-Lyne, William Taylor of
Preston, James Burton and Joseph Ainsworth of Bolton,
James Pilkington and Robert Hopwood of Blackburn, had
an audience with Sir James Graham, Bart., on the factory
question.
Rossini, who, since his return to Bologna, is per-
fectly recovered in health; has of late been assiduously employed
in rehearsing the music which is shortly to be performed by the
pupils of the Lyceum in that city, and also composed a Cantata,
which has recently been executed at Turin, on the occasion of the
celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of Tasso's birth-
day. The Cantata was received with loud acclamations from the
audience, and encored three times.
THE COURT —THE EASTER HOLID.A.YS.—Ii was
at one time expected that, in consequence of the prevalence of the
measles in the towns of Windsor and Eaton, her Majesty would re-
main at Buckingham Palace, and not proceed to Windsor Castle to
spend the Easter holidays. We understand, however, that ar.
rangements have been made for the Court to leave town about
Wednesday or Thursday (the 3d or 4th proximo) for Windsor
Castle, and that her Majesty will return to Buckingham Palace
about the 15th or 10th.
