Sad tidings from Italy have reached the musi.
cal world. Donizetti, who left Paris some months
ago. IN an alarming state OF health has not derived
from the mid climate of his country the improve
ment which his friends anticipated His health
continues to decline, his mind has fallen into deep
melancholy, and his totterng reason is plunged
| into gloomy meditations; he addresses those who
surround him but to dwell, not on his approaching
end, but on his already accomplished demise. He
sits down to his piano, preludes some brilliant
notes-his fugitive thoughts soon escape him; his
fingers wander at random over the KEYS, and pro-
duce but incoherent sounds, when the unfortu-
nate man strikes his forehead, and mournfully ex-
claims, . You see that am dead ~ He walks in
his garden, gathers flowers, scatters about their
leaves, and says, pointing to them " Poor flowers
dead, like poor Donizetti! In vain do his
friends strive to cheer him by executing his finest
compositions. He listens. but is insensbe. He
no longer knows his chefs d'euprc, and smiles no
more at his fame.
