MR. HORN'S MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENTS.
Mr. C. E. Horn gave a Musical entertainment of a
Somewhat- novel character;in the Lecture-room of this
InStitution, on Saturday evenings. Instead of the
somewhat deiultory . series: of songs which have,
with few exceptions, hitherto forined - the staple of
these entertainments,- Mr. Horn selects a subject for
Musical illustration,' and both the songs and the inci-
dents are strictly illtiatrative of the subject. This
_ .
imparts More of a . dramatic. character to the per-
formances, which, intheir arrangethent, bear a nearer
relation to the-character of =the dratorio than of any
other known musical-entertainnient. The songs and'
the Music were entirely iie;v, andthe latter, entirely the
composition of Mi.. C. Horn, was thoroughly dramatic,
and !roved that Mr.-I-fern's talent Sis a composer are
yet in their zenith. The' first . part consisted of mu-
sical' illustrations • of Shakspeate's: seven ages, each
age • being illustrated by ~an , appropriate melody.
These Melodies were sung by the vocalists of the;
establishment, accompanied by the band, Mr. Horn'
himself presiding at the piano-forte. i The song of the .
School-boy- was - sung 'with great spirit by a yoUng
lad, and was'much 'applauded. , The accompaniment
to this song is admirably characteristic ; it must be-
come a favourite. The song of the Justice is extel-
lent,4nd was deservedly encored: Mr. 'Horn himself
sing 'the song- of the 'slippeted Pantaloon, and infused
into it some deli Cate touches of exquisitely charac-
teristic expreslion. • '.He' was much :applauded. This
part;which concluded with the•Hyinn of'the ShadoWs
and . the Apotheosis of ' the
.Spirit-.--the words of
the firsepart are by Mr. GeOrge Soane, who has exe-
cuted a task of some difAculty with good taste and sound
judgment.: The second part is a• cantata, entitled,
" The Christmas 8e115,7 is frem the 'pen of the Rev.
J.. W. Brown, and approacheS by its subject to the
sublimity of the oratorio: Horn has set 'Mr. Brown's
poem admirably ;hi rises-with his subject, and shows
that he if_s capable °coven the highest flights of sacred
composition. Why-does 'he not give us an oratorio ?
He could compose one. worthy Of 'the performance
even of the Sacred Harmonic Society; 'The scene opens
with daybreak on a ChriStinai morning, and the belll
are heard ringing in the distance. We have then a series
of,;airs, solos,_quartettes, and -choruses, illustrative of
the season, and then conies the care}, " How grind
and how.-bright,"- which was - beautifully given by a
lady, 'and Much: applauded. . Christmas-day pro-
gresses, and..we find ourselves.at church: The organ
bursts out in, a fine voluntary) and there is a beautiful
quartette, t 4 Angelic- voices --soft and low;" then
follows , the- double chant, ," Gloria Patric Venite ;"
then 4 solo alto, with' response, " Now faint yet
clear f a ;plaintive . strain ;."...:after which comes the
double choir-and chorus,-."-Blessed,is the Lord God
of Jsraelre followed by the -"Benedictus" and anthem,
colicldding with an -organ- volthitary and' chorus. The
organi-ac4ompanimeiiis throughout this sublime ser-
vice were exceedingly.fine, anci.twere raoeVeffectiVely

cludes, after leaving the -church, with the merry
Christina a bells,- which again peal forth their cheerful
sounds. 'The entertainment was 'exceedingly well
attOnded,, and this cantata-of the Ghristmas bells, so
appropriate to.the-season, which, has been treated so
admirably both-by poet and ; composer, and which is
executed Co- efficiently by . all- Otiggicetl in its pro-

METROPOLITAN BUILDING ACT.
RUINOUS BUILDINGS:
In the new „Metropolitan :Buildings' Act, whioh
takes effect from the Ist proximo, there art se-
veral provisions framed to prevent a recurrence of
accidents arising from dangerous buildings being per-
mitted to remain until they have fallen down. The
object of the 40th and three following sections is to
compel. the owners of dangerous buildings to repair or
to pull them 'down, and in case of default the City- Of
London Cif the property be in the City) or the parisl
to put ',up a hoard for the protection of the public, and
to repair or pull down the ruinous houses. The mode
of proc 3eding is a simple one. A surveyor under this
Act, and the overseers of the parish, on receiving no-
tice of any building being in a ruinous and dan-
gerous condition," they are forthwith to apply to the
official referee, to direct. the surveyor to make survey,
and upon the receipt of the survey a copy is to be
transmitted to the City of London or parish. Notice
is to he given to the owners, and if the repairs or de-
molition are not began in fourteen days, then the
authorities mentioned are to repair or pull down the
buildings. The materials are to be sold, and in case
of deficiency, a claim is to be made on the owner, and if
he pefuses a distress warrant is to be issued. It is fur-
ther.provided; that in case the owner refuses to pay
or has 'w goods for. distraint, "then it shall be lawful
for the person who shall at any time thereafter occupy,
any such building or the ground where the same
stood, and he is hereby authorised and required to
pay and deduct the same out of the rent thereof, and
that if he neglect or refuse to pay such deficiency
then it shall be lawful for the said Lord Mayor, or
two or more such justices of the peace, and they are
hereby authorised and required .to cause the same to
be levied by distress, and sale of the goods and
chattels of, any occupier of the premises, together
with the costs of every such distress and sale." By
the 44th 'section; any damage to adjoining buildings
or to furniture, &c., from ruinous buildings, is to be
made goad, and can be enforced under the Act.

OXSORD..-.-It is currently reported, and generally
believed, that the Rector of Exeter, who is one of the
chaplains to Prince Albert, will rote in Convocation for
Mr. Ward, and consequently against the charges brought
against that gentleman fur the attacks on Protestantism
contained in hii Ideal Church. The Rector of Exeter
against Dr.-Hampden.
PiczwatAittszt.—A. few nights ago, a large cow-
house, containing a quantity of reed and straw, situate
at Great Elm, near Frorae, the property of the Rev. Dr.
lriffiths, was entirely consumed by fire; and there is no
doubt it was the vile act of an incendiary, as the build-
ing was at a considerable distance from any other pre-
mises.— Wiltshire Independent.
TILE CONDEMNED CnimirisLs.—We understand
that the execution of William Potter and William Ken-
drew, the former for setting fire to the dwelling house
of William Neville, at Wistow, near Selby, and the latter
for the murder of Mr. William luchbald, at Low Duns-
forth, near Boroughbridge,will take place (should no re-
prieve be received) on Saturday week, the 28th instant.
William Potter d 'es not betray the same indifference
which he exhibited on r, ceiving his sentence, but, we
hear, has become much softened. William Kendrew,
however, still maintains a dogged sullenness, and seems
not properly to understand the. awful position in which
he is placed.—Doncaster Gazette.

It seetni by what we have learnt of what passed in the

The Minister of the Interior declared that he made the

Minister affirmed it did.
